This Government only won an election, not the right to become our Mammy. – Ian O’Doherty
Another Reason Not To Do Cowgirl
This isn’t actually the reason I dislike cowgirl, but it makes a good excuse:
“Woman on top” is the most dangerous sex position, according to a new scientific study…”cowgirl”…is responsible for half of all penile fractures…”doggy-style”…is behind 29 per cent…[and] “man on top”…just 21 per cent…
…a prostitute…asked for the $100 that [a client] agreed to for 30 minutes of her company. She then explained that if the man wanted sex, he would have to pay an additional $150…the man became angry and demanded his $100 back…he…shoved her across the room…then unzipped her jeans…she began kicking him…and he punched her in the head twice…then pinned her down and removed the $100 from…her bra. He then left the apartment…[investigating cops] discovered [the client’s phone number] belonged to a Las Vegas [cop named Michael Kitchen]…
Federal and local [cops arrested] six child victims of domestic sex trafficking and…two alleged traffickers during the 2015 National Western Stock Show…large events with a national draw bring an…increase in child sex trafficking, the FBI said…agencies have been using big events…most notably last year’s Super Bowl — to…[arrest so-called] victims…Colorado is a breeding ground for human trafficking because of the major interstates crisscrossing it…
The prestigious Adam Smith Institute comes out against laws that deny sex workers’ agency, drawing on data from Ric Curtis’ latest study. Before too much longer, prohibitionists won’t be able to claim their crap is based on anything more than a political agenda. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the creationists from getting laws passed, but it’ll be a great comfort when normal, educated people mock prohibitionism as they mock creationism today.
We are remarkably dishonest when it comes to the sex industry…objections to nakedness-for-cash…blur into vague, emotive statements with very little actual meaning…”Farcical” and “dangerous” are two of the words I heard used last week to describe the UK’s licensing of sexual entertainment, and those words are absolutely accurate: the situation is a mess…any venue offering lap dancing, pole dancing or striptease is classified as a “sex encounter venue”. Local councils have the power to veto licences for SEVs and, if they wish, declare a “nil” policy, meaning no SEVs whatsoever on their turf…this translates to councils up and down the country granting or denying licences inconsistently. They’re given and revoked for no apparent reason, licensing fees are topsy turvy and, in some authorities, restrictive policy is such that councils are effectively trying to ban what is a lawful activity…
Anti-whore theatrics are always ludicrous, but this is one of the most ridiculous ones I’ve seen yet:
Two female Italian councillors have embarked on an unusual quest to clamp down on…prostitution – by dressing up in miniskirts and confronting kerb-crawlers with a hidden camera. The stunt had been initiated by Mayor Dimitri Russo…and councillors Anastasia Petrella and Stefania Sangermano…[who pretend sex work has a] damaging effect…on their town…when punters would stop for the fake prostitutes, they were confronted by the mayor and a cameraman, leaping out from behind parked cars…
The self-important pomposity of politicians is demonstrated by the fact that nobody involved seems to realize how idiotic a spectacle they present.
…this [story] from…Louisville, KY…has all the disrespectful AP Stylebook violations…when writing about…murders of African-American trans women. Using mugshot photo in WHAS-TV story: CHECK. Using victim’s dead name: CHECK. Misgendering her throughout the story: CHECK. Surprised…WHAS-TV…didn’t…insert…whatever criminal record they could find since they found the mugshot…Ms. Edwards…was found shot to death at the Fern Valley Motel…on January 9…LMPD is searching for…Henry Richard Gleaves in connection with this homicide…[if] those of you in the Louisville area or Indianapolis area where Ms.Edwards was from…have some pics of her or know her femme name, please get it to me ASAP…
Will these “reporters” never wake up?
With tuition costs soaring in Canada, many students are turning to a new…way of paying for school: Renting yourself out for paid dates. SeekingArrangement.com, which brings together prospective “sugar babies” with deep-pocketed “sugar daddies,” says it has seen a 42-per-cent increase in the number of students signing up on its site in the past year…the University of Toronto [has]…the fastest-growing number of sugar babies, with 195 new sign-ups last year…followed by Montreal’s McGill University, with 161 sign-ups…
The idea that selling sex is a “new” way to pay for schooling is utterly hilarious.
The Course of a Disease (#401)
Another rare Irish denunciation of prohibition:
…As a member of the Government which published the…Bill…which adopts the illogical position of criminalising the client but not the sex worker, [Alan] Farrell no doubt feels he is the vanguard of an administration which wants to protect women, but…saying that you are against…forcing [women] into sexual slavery is not the same as saying you are against…informed consent between two adults…In a world where most civilised countries have recognised prostitution as a morally neutral fact of life which can be regulated and taxed – where it is simply another arm of the leisure industry – we have replaced our inherently immature and prudish attitudes about sex work with…one which says that all prostitutes are victims and all Johns are sexual predators…his assertion that: “In my opinion, it is simply unacceptable that a man or a woman would purchase a person’s body for sexual gratification” is entirely irrelevant but also rather instructive, because a man who has legislative power has just admitted that he thinks two grown-ups having a private transaction is “unacceptable”…
Even though the mainstream media are now admitting that the “gypsy whores” myth is bullshit (at least in regard to the Super Bowl), they just can’t let go of that “sex trafficking” carcass yet. The Washington Post‘s debunking is marred by extensive quoting of cops and of Dominique Roe-Sepowitz’s bogus “study” that claimed (among other idiocy) that “84% of [escort] ads indicated possible sex trafficking“, and the Bowling Green News helpfully explains that “sex trafficking” doesn’t increase around sporting events because “in reality it occurs everywhere, 24/7” and is caused by TV commercials.
It looks as though the horrible Project ROSE may be kaput, though of course Sepowitz has to save face by denying that the mountain of ethics complaints against it had anything to do with that: “…Roe-Sepowitz, who…helped organize Project Rose, said that program has been put on hold, but she said it was due to officer availability, not controversy…” The day that Crazy Joe Arpaio won’t provide “officers” for an anti-sex pogrom will be a very frigid one in Hell.
…The sheer number of anti-sex trafficking bills that have been introduced in the new Congress (17)…should tell us something. Either sex trafficking has suddenly reached epidemic proportions in America, or it’s become the showboat du jour for preening politicians. Most signs point to the latter. Of the 11 anti-trafficking bills passed by the House [last week]…most…merely add layers of bureaucracy and authorize funding to pad these layers…but…H.R. 181…is exactly the kind of thing federal officials will use to entrap folks into agreeing to sex with an imaginary 17-year-old and then send them to prison for a few decades…every week I read multiple local-news reports from around the country about “sex trafficking stings”…[that] result in nothing but the arrest of adults engaged in consensual prostitution…H.R. 181 would be federalizing [this]…
I’m not sure what the headline writer means by saying “Belle Knox is Remaking Herself as a Libertarian Activist“; she’s been an avowed libertarian since she first came on the scene a year ago, and has been active in Students for Liberty for most of that time. The part of this interview that caught my attention the most was this one:
…On the Students for Liberty website, Weeks identifies her “favorite figures in liberty” as Ayn Rand, economist Milton Friedman, and two other activists whose careers have included both sex and politics: porn star Nina Hartley and former call girl Maggie McNeill…
This reporter’s faith that cops never do anything they aren’t supposed to, like raping whores during “prostitution stings”, would be touching if it weren’t so horribly misplaced. Even worse? He quotes prohibitionist Kathleen Barry, calling her a “prostitution expert” (which is like calling Carrie Nation a “wine expert”), and giving her a platform for her vile “end demand” propaganda.
Something Rotten in Sweden (#507)
Prostitutes are victims…King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg…told a packed Town Hall audience in attendance for an anti-sex trafficking panel…But…how does acknowledging the existence of consensual adult sex workers nullify all anti-trafficking efforts?…it contradicted the panel’s own stated intentions of respecting marginalized individuals’ humanity…sex workers in the audience, however, had different opinions about how to best protect—and distinguish—at-risk youth and self-employed adults…
For the life of me – I don’t understand penile “fractures”. I mean – there’s no bone there. I have had it “bend” and it’s a sharp excruciating pain that lasts for about a nano-second. The excitement of the situation dulls the pain. The girl usually freaks out … “OH GOD! Are you okay?” And it’s like … “I’m fine – keep going.” And yeah … it’s always in cowgirl. Doggy-style? I just don’t understand that one … what are trying to DO dude?
Another thing I don’t understand … friction burns … on a dude. WTF? How stupid are you? Grab some lube, bro.
“Mis-gendering” … just can’t agree with you on that. The concept of “gender” is only around 60 years old. There are tens of thousands of human years and custom preceding that where people were classified according to sex. I don’t class people by “gender” – but by sex. Where was it written that we HAVE to class people by gender? Is there some kind of law about this? And I don’t like people trying to force their interpretation of language on me. I don’t freak out when newspapers refer to Bradley Manning as a “she” – I know they are obviously people who follow the convention of classifying by gender. Language police – not a turn on for me. Hell, there are progressives trying to tell me that “charging” is a racist word. Come on!
You talk to Belle Knox? Damn – you have an exciting life! Tell her I said “hi”. 😀
Yes, I talk to Belle online. I also have Annie Sprinkle’s and Nina Harley’s personal phone numbers in my cell phone. But then, I’m sort of a minor sex work celebrity now myself; not in their league, of course, but I’m working on it. 😉
I’ve never seen a penile fracture, I’ve just read about it. I gather that when it happens there is (can be) a sharp ‘breaking’ noise. The corpora cavernosa are hard because they are filled with blood, and they also have a tough fibrous coat around them. It’s this coat which breaks, allowing blood out into surrounding tissues. It’s just convention to call this damage a ‘fracture’.
I can easily see it happening. I had a GF who really liked this position, who would first sit on me, then quickly slide forward-and-back a foot or more (!) half a dozen times as her way of lubing herself. She never understood why this made me cringe.
Cowgirl is a very fun position if the two people taking part in it have anatomies that make it work. I am 5 foot 9 and in good shape and especially enjoy it with women 5 foot 3 and shorter. I think the risk is worth it. I don’t enjoy it with taller women.
As for the scumbag cop who assaulted the escort, that is where the value of review boards can come into play for clients. When we had a hobbyist board in Michigan that was operating before the FBI shut it down, the reviewers could tell of their experiences with apparent bait and switch and the escorts who posted on the boards could blacklist bad clients. It felt like a community in where the johns and whores all looked out for each other.
Why the headline “Do As I Say, Not As I Do”? That sure sounds like a case of fraud by her, and correct behavior by him.
” … correct behavior by him” … ???
In what version of reality is it correct for a man to assault a woman because he was unhappy about what he got for $100?
An actual man would quietly ask for the hundred bucks back. If she declined to refund it, he would walk away, thinking to himself that he’s just been to school, the takeaway lesson being to do a little research and to book with an established, reputable woman who has a good name to protect. An actual man would reflect that, at $100, the tuition was really not terrible.
A cop, on the other hand … would do what the one in the item above did.
It’s correct because he was defrauded, under circumstances that made going to the police not an option.
Violence is not a correct response to scamming.
So, jd, where’s your limit to the “options” for remedying having been defrauded? Apparently, you find assault acceptable … how much violence is okay with you? Concussions? Broken bones? Is it okay if he kills her, if that’s what it takes to get his money back?
Yeeesh. I wonder what screening a sex worker would do to keep her from seeing you? Shaking my head …
It’s the headline I use for pigs caught trying to see hookers.
The moment I saw that quote from Belle I knew it would catch your attention. 🙂
You are better off (safer) with the pros:
Craiglist causes the spread of HIV, according to a study done by Jason Chan, an assistant professor of information and decision sciences at the U’s Carlson School of Management.
Cruising for sex on Craigslist personal ads resulted in a 15.9 percent increase in HIV infections after the website entered various U.S. markets, according to a recent study by the University of Minnesota published in MIS Quarterly.
Curiously, the association between Craigslist and HIV occurred only with respect to personal ads — not professional escort services. Chan figures that sex workers took more precautions than people seeking sex in a social context.
I’d say, from personal experience, that ‘reverse cowgirl’ is the most dangerous position. My girl got a bit too vigorous once and bent my penis almost double on the downstroke. It hurt like hell and I was pissing blood for two days afterwards.
