..after reading this statement:

"The professor theorizes that the higher prices charged by legal prostitutes are actually due to "higher quality" prostitutes, in large part because of the standards that regulated brothels need to uphold."

sure is a schmart fellar. I hope he is getting paid what he is worth.

Its heart warming to read that article.  I'm still a little teary eyed.

Wow, I finally got around to reading this.  And I have to say that one of the opening statements really annoys me...

"...soliciting tricks online may be illegal, but it's difficult to prosecute because of the number of people doing it..."

If there are sooo many people doing it, why is it illegal in the first place?!  We're talking about a service in exchange for money in a "free-market" society between two consenting adults.  If there is no victim, there is no crime!  A woman should have the right to do whatever she wants with her body (& profit from it), and a man should have the right to spend his hard-earned money however he chooses, and vice versa.  Murder, rape, theft, fraud, etc. are REAL crimes that LE should be concentrating on.  I may be preaching to the choir here, but I hope to inspire people to do something to change the backwards legal policies in this country.  I think I'll post a similar rant in the political forum, for discussion.
