CUPCAKE GIRLS ARE "DRY DRUNKS" I.E., PROSTITUTES FOR MONEY - ISN'T THAT WHAT LYING FOR MONEY IS?

I got this in the mail today When a group focused on the "trafficking" aspect of the sex industry - to the exclusion of the reality of what prostitution itself is I've been wondering why for a while now.  I mean why do groups like the Cupcake Girls focus everything they talk about on the trafficking side of this issue without one word about the very real prostitution side of the issue. Well that would be then admitting that some of the time one spends in sex work is "voluntary".  That it is in fact "prostitution".  Now outsiders to sex work insist prostitution is sex for money.  No - it's not.  In fact, I argue that's more like marriage in some cases.  Don't tell me some men and women don't marry for money and trade sex for the money please. I've also wondered why they object so strongly to the concept of "sex work" vs. "prostitution".  The reality is prostitution is a tiny fraction of the sex industry a

NEVADA INTERNAL AFFAIRS LETTER

Jody Williams www.sexworkersanonymous.com Email – sexworkrecovery@yahoo.com (702) 468-4529 Internal Affairs for Nevada Via fax and emai Dear Sirs: Back in 1988 – I did a Sally Jesse Raphael show where I appeared against Joe Conforte, the previous owner of the Mustang Ranch brothel. He brought with him four prostitutes who worked at the ranch – and for an hour the audience heard this was a “victimless crime” and how much “money they were making”. The purpose of the show was Joe was trying to get his brothels expanded into California and outside of the small rural communities that these legal brothels operate out of in Nevada spread across the state. When the camera was off – I had one of these women run up to me in the dressing room begging for help to escape. She claimed she had been drugged, then placed on a charter plane at gunpoint (there's a landing strip at the ranch), where she was told to say what she said “or else”. Her fear was because she

Dear Mr. Husted: Here are a few posts I've made about Nevada's state of affairs with respect to sex trafficking today and money they've received to do something to help the victims. http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2015/10/why-we-dont-have-northern-nevada.html http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2015/10/internal-affairs-in-nevada.html http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2015/09/las-vegas-metro-vic-vigna-karen-hughes.html Nevada's last attorney general - http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2015/09/catherine-cortez-masto.html http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2015/08/code-red-alert-for-sex-workers-in-nevada.html I'm the founder of the modern day sex trafficking movement itself, and I moved to Nevada in 1996 to get help to victims there who weren't able to get help because of the unique state of affairs there because of the legal brothels

WHY WE DON'T HAVE A NORTHERN NEVADA CHAPTER ANY LONGER OF SWA

I got a call to give a quote to a reporter who is in the northern part of Nevada yesterday, Ed Pearce.  He was there at the Nevada legislature in 2013 when AB67 was getting passed.  He saw with his own eyes that SWA was the only objector, was the ONLY group who fought the brothels back from expanding into Las Vegas at an unlisted backroom meeting between George Flynt, the Brothel Association Lobbyist, and two legislators to decide on the issue after 45 so called "abolitionists" had left the building entirely. He's also the ONLY reporter in Nevada who has had the balls to print the name of Sex Workers Anonymous in the paper while the Review Journal has told me to my face that our name is "blacklisted for life".  Bravo Ed by the way for being an ethical honest reporter.  A true dying breed! By the way - thank you those legislators who voted against the brothel expansion (which means the Mob Museum is now where these people had wanted to open a "magnificen
