The war on prostitution (and sex) needs to end

I don't agree with John Stossel about everything but I definately agree with him that the government must end the twin wars on drugs and prostitution. Of course prostitution that involves women forced into it is should and continue to be illegal but many sex workers enjoy...

If you make $500/hour as a sex worker, are you really a victim?

Prostitution in the vast majority of the U.S. is illegal. Period. Even when there is no victim. Now if someone is forced into prostitution, than yes, there is a clear victim. If someone is underaged. If someone can't reasonably consent. In all these cases, go after those who...

Suzy Favor Hamilton, who was one of the better Olympians to ever come out of the state of Wisconsin, attended the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point a few years before I did. That is where the similarities between her and I pretty much end. I did play rugby, not too well...

Why do we allow the anti-sex police, to control our lives?

In a suburb of Cinncinnati, Ohio, the exotic/strip club Deja Vu was closed down, after a plea agreement through prosecutors that criminal charges won't be further pursued against the club owners or the dancers of the club. What a waste of money. According to the article this...

Free sex after 9th carwash leads to arrests. Why shout it though?

A Malaysian car wash offered free sex to customers after a 9th car wash. Frankly, I don't care, along as they are consenting adult. But since their own version of the religious right-wing dominate and control the politics of Malaysia, as they do in much of the U.S., the women...

I have railed against our war on sex laws, especially prostitution laws, in the U.S. Prostitution should be legal and regulated. We don't see the problems with prostitution in Nevada, as in the rest of the U.S. I also favor making marijuana legal, but again, regulated. I have...

The Religious right want to control your sex life

I have pointed out before how much the religious right want the government to be the sex police. They want to control your bedroom. I, and other secularists like me, want your bedroom to be sacred along as you participate in it with other consenting adults. It's none of the...

How government violates our rights: from searches to prostitution

A few observations on how the government violates our rights. A 1985 United States Supreme Court Case stated it was perfectly fine for the police to search the purpose of a public schools high school student. So much for probable cause, and the 4th Amendment, don't you think?...

Tampa needs more strippers to handle Republican party convention

The Republican party is having their presidential convention in Tampa this summer. Tampa, not Tampa Bay, which is not a city but a general metro area and body of water. I believe their NFL football team is named the Tampa Bay Buccanners and not just the Tampa Buccaneers, as...

Is prostitution between adults worse than shipping jobs overseas?

If you follow politics at all, you are probably aware that members of the Secret Service in Colombia, have been sent back to the U.S. for alleged involvement with prostitutes in Colombia. Also, members of the U.S. military seem to be involved in the same conduct. This is...

Why sex workers of Nevada support Ron Paul

Prostitution should be legal and regulated. The reason that it is illegal is because of religion. Religious puritan beliefs, the same beliefs that less than 10 years ago made consensual homosexual sex a crime in many states, lead to bad public policy. In regulated brothels in...
