Sex,
or he's your ex
Excuse me
for being so bold, but I wanted to let readers know this
is not a column about and for women only. Sure, many

personal journey following marital breakdown, do you?

Screw you: Ode to prostitution
Prostitutes, hookers, callgirls,
streetwalkers, gigolos, johns, ranches, brothels,

exchanging sex for money is not illegal, but street
solicitation and owning a brothel is). But honestly.why?

Sexiness seen as power in a 'look-at-me' culture
Porn used to be a video hidden in the
bottom drawer, or a magazine under the mattress. Today,
it's part of everyday life. Hugh Hefner's girlfriends
are TV's "girls next door." Porn stars have MySpace
pages and do voiceovers for video games. Pornography's
available in upgraded cable or satellite packages and
even easier to find on the Internet - more than a third
of the US Internet audience visited sites that fit in to
the online "adult" category in April.

has been hoisted on its own ... well, let's not go
there. It's long been taken as a truism in the
technology world that when it comes to exploiting the
latest and greatest gadgets and services, purveyors of
pornography have been out there leading the pack,
particularly on the Internet.
