..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.

Are you suggesting that this is not the case?

Or just that the professor is master of the obvious?

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

Better than "Dicks Helping Dicks" !!! - Don't ya think ???eom

Two -- count 'em --- two aliases in the same thread! Oh my!

What was he thinkin'? Drinkin'? Smokin'? Oh, whatever... who cares

And higher quality?  Hey, I've got HBO too, and I've seen his girls.  I'll shop locally, thank you.

Anyone who wants to give Hof (or his fellow brothel owners) half of every dollar they spend on the hobby, and overpay for the same services in the process, is just a glutton for punishment.  

Oh, and this isn't hearsay.  I knew a girl very well who worked at the MBR on and off for a couple years and she said those timers they use are fast.  So if you want an hour "party" (what a stupid misnomer that is), you'll have to pay more than that.  

I encourage everybody to visit a legal brothel at least once so they'll realize how good they have it when they see their local independents.

in and reply = )

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.

LE uses tactics to go after Johns. they put fake adds on craiglist, backpage, etc. etc..
if they put fake reviews and adds on this site, what would happen to the people that trust this site that gets arrested!!
being too big is not always good...
we should watch out until the dust settles..
it's very noisy all around the nation, due to that bastard who couldn't keep a low profile!
