Interesting information.........

Wonder what effect this will have on the availablity of the escorts in certain areas of NC.
Will the lobbyists and politicians absorb all of the ladies? This is probably nothing really
new, as politicians have been using these services all along. The state just made it
"legal" now.

When I was a Defense Contractor in the Wash DC and Northern Virginia areas back
in the late 80s and early 90s, it was common practice for contractors to seek and
obtain high-end escorts, call girls, prostitutes, and bed-buddies for both Federal Govt
and foreign customers - in order to get the contract that was up for bid. The Defense
Contractor paid for the ladies....along with the hotel rooms, and all of the clients
expenses, needs, etc. It was a form of bribery, and it worked. Most DoD Contractors
did (and still do) this routinely and regularly, because the practice works. Sex has
value, and sex sells, and when it sells, it often commands a high price.
 
Here in SC, "escorts" are legal for hire by anyone, so long as sex, sexual activity or
sexual favor is not involved (which makes one wonder, "whats's the point?")
