I came across an interesting article while reading through my local newspaper the other day. With all the attention on the Presidential Campaign I wondered what other important campaigns or issues might be appearing on some upcoming ballots. On a page reserved for election news I saw the headline: Prostitution on ballot for San Francisco. Certainly,...
In my area—and I suspect in yours—the local news regularly runs stories of prostitution "stings." In case you are not familiar with them, they work like this: female police officers pose as prostitutes. They may walk a street "known" for prostitution (which in my city means you may find, at most, a dozen down-and-out, drug-addicted women on a busy night, plu...
Nevada alone among the U.S. states allows legal prostitution. Prostitution is only allowed in heavily regulated brothels. Brothels are only allowed in some of the Nevada counties. History: Brothels have been legal in Nevada since the middle of the 19th century. In 1937, a law was enacted to require weekly health checks of all prostitutes in brothels. Reno/S...
When the Soviet Union fell, chaos descended over Russia in many different aspects of life. The economy plummeted, Mafiosi ruled the streets, and government officials committed blatant acts of corruption. One of the most startling things to come out of this sudden upheaval was the immense outpouring of sex and sexuality into Russian culture. The repressivenes...
Another quickie built around another simple concept. I have, on occasion, thought of an original discovery method, but original consequences are harder to come by. I think this is one. It's only a shorty, less than 2,000 words with no sex—sorry—and it is mostly dialogue and quotes from newspaper reports. Once again, this is fiction. If you spot anything...
Amsterdam, the crown jewel of the Netherlands, a city famous for its canals, the van Gogh Museum and the famed Rembrandt painting The Nightwatch is also famous for its red-light district. Called the Wallen in Dutch, Amsterdam's red-light district is the most open in Europe featuring lingerie-clad women selling themselves in storefront windows. Prostitution i...
10,000 Euros. The sum seemed extraordinary, but that's what Molly needed to get back home. Molly Xiu was an attractive, bright, co-ed attending Houston University. Barely 19, she had a petite, yet sexy figure. She was 5'0 flat, and had a modest chest, as most Asian women did, but a plump, ripe ass that was to die for, toned by many years playing Frisbee. S...
Britt arrived home from her initial discussion with the Vicar at the church Rita attended and found Rita asleep on her bed with Marty, also taking a nap, wrapped in a blanket beside her. She went out quietly and found Rita's smart phone in the kitchen and returned to position herself with the camera to carefully framed the sleepers and took three exposures....
TENS to the Nines Just offshore a man hunched over a longboard. From the position of the sun, we could just make out his form, but his back was twisted in such a manner as to maintain his balance. We both watched as he connected with a wave, rose into its grasp and came to direct his stick down its steep ever varying slope. As he approached the beach, I saw...
The Junk-Food Murder was the headline in a September 20, 1982 Newsweek. Looking at the article, I gave a start because the victim was Prof. Howard Appledorf and I had once taken a seminar class in which he gave a lecture. I remembered him as an authoritative lecturer who held audience interest. I also recalled a joke he made. "Someone will come to me and say...
