The Week in Links: January 13

A token that experts believe was used to pay for sex in brothels during the first century A.D. was discovered in West London.

The Los Angeles City Council tentatively approved an ordinance that would require all L.A. porn shoots to use condoms. 

Dominique Strauss-Kahn had no idea whether he was sleeping with prostitutes or civilian women during his now-famous Paris swinger parties, because the women were “all naked at the time,” according to his lawyer Henri Leclerc.  “I defy you to tell the difference between a naked prostitute and any other naked woman.” Did he have to pay? Because that’s one way to figure it out.

GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich have all pledged to strictly enforce obscenity laws.

Dear Tits And Sass: Review-Free Edition

Carrie Graber’s “Elegant Lady in a Black Dress”

We’ve already established that reviews are one of the most hated aspects of indoor work, so it’s only natural for us to want to avoid them. But how, oh how, can such a feat be accomplished? If you are a current sex worker facing a work-related challenge, you can email info [at] titsandsass.com and we’ll do our best to help or call in a guest who can. (Please no “how do I get started hooking” questions. We’re not trying to end up like Heidi Fleiss.)

Dear Tits & Sass,

I’ve been escorting for under a year, and for most of that time I’ve been working for an agency that could be said to fall under the “blue-collar agency” category. We work for $260-300 per hour, minus fees, and I’d say the independent girls in my city generally list similar prices based on the ads I see around the review boards. I’m interested in the leap that some escorts make to the so-called high class stratum where prices drift upwards, volume drifts down, appointments start at two hours and not 30 minutes, independence is ubiquitous, and where client reviews are unnecessary, if not outright forbidden. I certainly see evidence of girls at that level in major cities, but not so much in mine, though I’d be willing to bet there’s a market for it. So, seeing as the most distasteful aspect of indie work (to me) is review board culture, I’d love to hear what anyone has to say on transcending that snake pit, and going for gold. Tips on advertising, especially, without the good word of the local hobbyists, would be especially fascinating.

I’m in Calgary, AB, but I’m happy to take advice from Americans, because the biggest difference in standards of practice seems to be intensity of screening, and I’m inclined to work that way anyway as cops still love to bust indoor workers for things like running an incall. Our laws are different, but culturally we’re so similar that I’d say most Canadians wouldn’t know that, and would assume prostitution is as illegal here as it is there. Our police seem to forget it, too, sometimes.

Love,

Medium-Class Call Girl

Escort Music Monday: Massive Attack’s ‘Mezzanine’

For about a year and a half every client I saw at the incall (at least for their first few visits—I often forgot they’d seen me before) would get to enjoy a fabulous hour or more with me doing wicked and evil things to them, set to the ambient backdrop of Massive Attack’s ‘Mezzanine’. I think it’s the perfect hooker album—sexy, moody and dirty. Most clients commented positively about it and wanted to know what it was.

The entire album length is just over an hour so it’s perfect to keep track of time without having to set a pesky alarm. Nothing says paid sexy time is OVER like a blaring alarm right before a client blows his load!  With this album I know when the music stops it’s time to get him back in the shower or do something new for the next hour.

The Week in Links: January 6

Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof and brothel workers (who are, perhaps, unaware of Paul’s positions on reproductive rights) endorse Ron Paul.

Lil Wayne officiated foxy boxing at Miami club King of Diamonds.

The record for the longest single webcam show is apparently 70 hours, 31 minutes and 55 seconds. Can any of our readers top that?

An book except on being a bathroom attendant at the Crazy Horse III, a BlackBook piece on bartending in a Manhattan strip club.

Four Detroit escorts who used Backpage to advertise have been found murdered, and a stripper is missing. All of them are black and mid- to late twenties.
