Watching the debacle unfolding about Governor Spitzer and the unbelievable media coverage it's generating is amazing. It’s hard not to chuckle at the indignation and response of the American public; however the public perception of this matter is belied by the greater depth of the issue that affects every major city in America. I’m not making light of the hypocrisy he exhibited - but more on the naïveté of the general public. No, I’m not a sex therapist, nor am I a PhD in human sexuality, but I did own and operate three (3) Escort and Modeling Agencies in the 1980’s and am well versed on the subject. Two turned-out to be state and federal “sting” operations, so I’m aware of, and was part of the behind the scenes operations that involved the DEA, FBI, US Treasury Department, ATF, and state and local agencies too numerous to mention that were involved in those operations. Granted, Governor Spitzer is somewhat unique; but to me, it wasn’t that much of a surprise to hear “The Sheriff of Wall Street” was ensnared in a sting of the type that he prosecuted himself while he was “The Enforcer” and acting as the Attorney General for the State of New York.

Did I personally suspect Governor Spitzer of this type of behavior before he was arrested? No. But, when you learn the industry and understand what happens across America every day, the only “surprise” is that more high-level politicians haven’t been caught and prosecuted for something that’s actually an everyday occurrence. Hasn’t anyone thought it was odd that the customer lists of Heidi Fleiss, the “D.C. Madam”, my own customer list for that matter, and those of other Escort and Modeling Agencies that have been uncovered in major cities across the United States are usually kept secret and unavailable to the public? You already know the answer, but I’ll repeat it anyway; The customer lists are almost never disclosed - at least in their entirety, because Escort and Modeling Agencies service high-profile clients in every major city in America on a regular basis - and many of those lists contain names that are “Pillars of their Communities” and all too often, prominent politicians in every level of government, state, local, and federal. Police and law enforcement officers also come-up on the lists - rarely I’ll admit, as do Preachers, CEO’s, and generally speaking, the “clients” represent the activities of a wide cross-section of affluent and Middle-class America.

The family of Ashley Alexandra Dupre, Governor’s Spitzer’s admitted “escort” was shocked and dismayed, understandably to find that their daughter, to put it in their words, “got involved in something much larger than her.” It would shock many American families to know that many of their daughters (and sons), whom number in the thousands, ply the sex trade by working as Exotic Dancers and Escorts in almost every small to large city in the United States. Many of them are college students who work at night and study by day - some who one day will emerge as Doctors, Lawyers, and yes, even as teachers. We’re not talking about hookers that walk the streets, but the ladies of the night that work for the thousands of Escort and Modeling Agencies that pepper the country, and yes, there’s a difference between the street-walking hookers and those that work for private agencies. There are several myths that surround Escort and Modeling Agencies and I’ll try to dispel a few - and add some facts many of you never knew.

Kristen Many people believe that Escort Agencies primarily serve the conventions and business travelers in their respective cities, and they do, but the safest and most appreciated business is the locals who often turn out to be repeat customers, usually the safest and most profitable to serve. My business was comprised of 35-40 percent out of town customers, while the bulk of the business were locals, people who used the service regularly and many of whom ordered the same woman time after time, many treating them almost like girlfriends.

There are several types of customers, but the majority are businessmen who work their butts off all week, don’t care for the bar scene, and have the money to spend on a well-educated woman who can hold an interesting conversation as well as satisfy their sexual needs without trolling the local bars and coming-up empty handed, or even worse, catching something that Ajax Cleanser won’t rub off! Generally speaking, these customers are rather mundane in their sexual needs and many appear to enjoy the company almost as much as the sex - which is evidenced by multiple hour calls that often are filled with as much conversation as they are sex. In the 1980’s, these ladies worked for $150-$500 per hour, and that didn’t count the agency fee. Almost half of the business was conducted by Credit cards, for special customers checks, and the rest in cash. The customer I’m describing here might be the owner of your local auto parts store, an executive in a large business, a local sales manager, or even your Doctor, Attorney, and sometimes, even the clergy!

The next category is the couple, and that might mean your next door neighbors! There is an enormous business in sending out a single woman to a couple, often the birthday present of a wife to a husband, or visa versa, and these too sometimes become regulars - especially those that are prominent citizens who won’t involve themselves in the local swinger scene because of fear of being “outed.” Again, average Middle-to upper-class couples that are simply looking for some excitement in their sex lives, and as common in the industry as hooks are to a fisherman!

So far, nothing abnormal or different, but there are a couple of other type of regular customers, and each of these may surprise those who have never delved into the inner workings of human sexuality. The power-brokers, CEO’s, Executives that supervise large numbers of employees, politicians, the “movers and shakers” in our country to be exact - and with that power, these are some of the kinkiest customers any agency will serve! This is where the Dominatrix is often requested and ones that have always kept me scratching my head… When I fist became associated with the business, this is the customer that I envisioned that because of their wealth and power, would order multiple women at a time and basically, party their butts-off, but did I have a surprise coming! Perhaps it’s a feeling of guilt on how they treat their employees, manage people’s money, or serve their constituents, but invariably, these are the customers that request to be humiliated, whipped, defecated upon and a host of weird vices I won’t mention on an open-blog, and believe me, they have to pay big money for their dive into perversity - and they do, time and time again. They never seem to tire of being abused, and are the one type of customer that seems to keep going deeper into the nether-land of sexual diversity and perversion. I have always found a bit of humor in these power-brokers that are as twisted as a piece of licorice, and so can you if you’ll try this the next time your boss is taking-out his anger and frustration on you; while he’s ranting and raving and chewing your butt, form an image in your mind and picture him in rubber undergarments, being led around on his hands and knees by a leash with a red-rubber ball stuck firmly in his mouth… If that doesn’t offer you a bit of solace, then nothing will! (I’m not implying that all of these “power-brokers” are sexually oriented in this manner, however, this is where the majority of these types of calls emanate from.)

The last category of customer is the one I’ve always worried about, and these are the serious weird-o’s that make a lady stop by the grocery store on the way to the call, pick-up cucumbers and other similar vegetables - and use them on their customers when the call begins. I don’t believe a further explanation is necessary; however, the calls that border on the bizarre worry me - not because they call escort agencies, but because I wonder what happens to these individuals when the source of their pleasure is shut-down by the police, or they simply run out of money. Like anyone else that doesn’t understand a particular idiosyncrasy, when it’s especially bizarre, I have to wonder what these individuals do when they are without whatever it is that makes them tick - but ones mans pleasure is another’s pain, so I suppose I don’t have the right to be judgmental - but even the ladies shy away from and charge unusually high fees for these types of customers. The grocery store scenario was only an example, and honestly, one of the tamest ones I could place in print.

This is an extremely brief look into the world of Escort and Modeling agencies, otherwise known as prostitution rings, and to properly address the issue, it would take an entire book - and even then, unless it weighed thirty pounds and was 5,000 pages I doubt if we could cover all of the aspects of the sex industry and delve into the psychology and human nature that make it one of the largest illegal money-making enterprises in America. I don’t believe it should be illegal; what consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes or hotels should be their business, not that of the body politic.

We seem to have forgotten that many individuals with higher intelligence who are self-motivated - and in reality often guide the core businesses of our country and sometimes the governments itself are often those with unusually high sex drives. Unfortunately, it’s the nature of the beast. Some of our best Presidents were promiscuous and before the advent of electronic surveillance and cameras on every corner - governed this country with memorable Presidencies, and some of those men were among the most admired Presidents on record. As the religious-right attempts to press their will on the entire country, it’s notable they too are often “ousted” for the same type of behavior that Governor Spitzer engaged in, and as usual, many times it’s those who shout the loudest that have the most to hide.

The United States is a highly diverse, sexually charged nation. Many, if not most of our high-profile commercials flaunt beautiful, scantily clad women, and it’s also prevalent in our movies and even prime-time television shows. What we see on a daily basis is sex, sex, sex, and at night, if you turn to Fox, you’ll find some of the most provocative, sexually charged adult late-night programming from a network that continually harps on the “lack of values” in modern day America. We are a nation that says one thing and does another, unwilling to accept that sex is the second-most powerful human instinct we possess other than the will to survive - and rather than learning to understand an issue that has been with society since the beginning of time, we still live in the dark ages of suppressing our own desires in public, and when we believe no one is looking, revert back to the instinctive human beings that actually is more representative of humanity than the morals which are placed upon us that are so archaic - even those that makes the “rules” are usually in the lead of breaking them! When they are caught they tell us all “how sorry” they are, when in reality, they are only sorry they stood for something they couldn’t live with themselves and must now suffer the consequences of attempting to live a lie which they never truly believed in themselves.

I have achieved nothing of consequence apart from raising children in a way that they would excel where I failed. And they are on good tracks.

Edgar Hoover The Paradigm Of Sexual Perversity

Edgar Hoover is the worst and also a typical example of sexual perversion in American political circles.  He was a maso homosexual who managed to hide behind an iron curtain of duplicity and hypocricy for 50 years. Read Marc Dugain's ' La Malediction d'Edgar'  and you will be disgusted next time around the MSM outlets beat  up the drum of yet another  sex scandal.

MSM's handling of the issue is always about covering up. Otherwise sex is the engine of poilitical prowess. Cut off sex and the lure disappears. No more politicians around. Not attractive anymore.

Spitzer's Sting Was Unusual

Footnote: For the many ears I was associated with Escort and Modeling Agencies the sting against Governor Spitzer is somewhat unique. We all know there are many more prominent names on their customer list. When the authorities infiltrate an agency as they did in this case, the case is usually worked until every avenue of investigation runs dry. It's a known fact the ladies that work for these types of agencies hold a wealth of information and almost always are "in the know" of facts that cover a wide variety of corruption most investigative agencies are ecstatic to gather. The "Emperor's Club", based on their clientele and the quality of their ladies are bound to serve countless high-profile individuals that if it became public, would have the potential to rock the nation in scandal. If the truth were ever told, and we received a list that wasn't heavily redacted, the complete customer lists the "DC Madame" and the "Emperor's Club" would be an excellent indicator of the facts I discussed above.

Except in unusual cases, I also maintain the lists should remain confidential. The "unusual cases" I am referring to are those individuals that have personally participated in the prosecution of, helped to pass legislation or otherwise have a public persona that is directly proven to be false by their personal behavior. I believe that what consenting adults do in their own privacy is really none of our business. I also believe that those who make it a career in public life maintaining a political or public position that condemns the very acts they commit themselves should be “outed” on the basis of deceiving the public.

One man's perversion is anothers...

...soooo five minutes ago sex act.

Here is the deal...nature, inexplicable as it is, has implanted within within the male DNA an overwhelming need to procreate. This mandate manifests itself as a vast spectrum of sexual activity. One mans normal is another mans perverse.

Actually, all that is required mechanically in order to successfully reproduce is the missionary position....can you spell BORING?! There is an argument that suggests that any position, let alone an alternative sex act, other than the missionary position is a deviation from basics needed to reproduce. Thus....if you have down the horizontal rumba in any fashion other than the boring missionary position, you and they, and me are all deviates. Or at least I will hope such for all of us.

Males, when aroused, or when needing to be satisfied have an very prominent IQ of one. Nature, as inexplicable as it is, had no idea that man would also evolve as a spiritual creature, and that such evolution would spawn religions that do more to pervert the natural course of sexual activity that the most prolific pornographer. Nature did not anticipate our social structure, porn shops, strip clubs, religion, sit-coms, and all the other stimuli that man is bombarded with on a relentless basis. Nature said get sexually excited and have sex.

Spitzer is merely the victim of transient low IQ. I know of no man that has not suffered that temporary transient deficit, and would not believe a man that says otherwise. Normally functioning males are never more challenged in this era of rampant commercialized sexuality. It is impossible to not be stimulated into a state of diminished capacity at least one hundred times per day in modern America.

I am explaining Spitzer, not excusing him. Yes...Spitzer is also guilty of hypocrisy, misappropriations of public money, narcissism, grandiose, and male pattern baldness...dare I say, join the club.

Normality and Perversity : Semantics

A person's choice of sexual orientation is his own business an long as it does not harm  someone else or endangers someone else's well being. Let us call this normality.

Normality becomes perversion when the person who indulges secretly in a  'socially=hypocritically'' forbidden  pleasure lambastes and persecutes other individuals who indulge in the same pleasure  openly. Hoover had no right to pesecute and punish homosexuals who were just happy living their lives. After all he was happy with his own situation and that was quite all right. 

Same thing with Spitzer and the MSM. Spitzer was free to rent a hooker as long as the latter was willing to accept. It is nobody's business. What MSM did to him was perversion.

Hoover-heaver and America

In scholarly circles, Hoover's incompetence as a law enforcer is well known.  His ability to control the spin and arc of this sad fact was, of course, legendary.  Hoover's involvement, along with LBJ, in the murder of a duly elected President of the United States is a fitting epitaph to a country whose beginnings were seeded with compromising secrets.

After all, let us not forget that Thomas Jefferson (and many other Founding Fathers) possessed slaves.  Unlike the tame version of the historical record -- and what should be obvious when comparing the variety of skin tones among African Americans in the US -- slaveholders used their slaves as sex toys.  In this manner, "whitey" could practice all manner of sexual perversities on their "owned" possessions without any of these messy revelations of hypocracy and moral deviance seeing the light of day.

It is for this reason I would argue that, over time, black slaves fled their masters in increasing numbers.  Hearing of the abuse and victimization of these people at the hands of some of the "less progressive" slave holders must have sent the religious nutballs of the north reeling.  While I am no fan of victimization of anyone, I am also no fan of Victorianism.  A far worse pox on our body politic than Calvinism, and the two are often confused with each other, Victorianism found, and finds, it necessary to add value to the sex act by restricting its social acceptance in the mainstream.

Legalize sex work and the whole framework of the national security state would collapse.  Without the ability to blackmail one's cadre of adherents, the national security state would soon whither away and die. 

Add visibility to sexual diversity, as the internet does, and, eventually, people will cease using the sex act as the pharmacological substitute for the effects of "painful personality disorder" it has become. 

The sex act is a compulsive and impulsive expression of the experience of psychic unity among living things.  Sometimes there is harmony and beauty, and sometimes there is the cacophony of aberration.  But I would argue that the aberrations are due to the "secrecy" we attach to deviance, forcing the core of what is causing "PPD" under the surface where it can do more damage than it otherwise might.

Hoover, because of his birth as a homosexual, and therefore deviant, person, had a ringside seat to all of this nonsense, all of this repression and all of this deviance.  He made lemonade with it.  Over time he became an evil durge as the fundamental anger  he felt over being born "different" and never being able to find social "acceptance" in his difference manifested into outright rage.

All of these perversions share a common origin -- the unmet needs of childhood.  A common unmet need is the constructive transition of the normal human with their opposite-sex parent from nurturer and love object to their actual parent.  Some adult parents can not allow this transition to occur, others simply use it to manipulate the behavior of their children.  When these untransitioned children become adults, their incessant need to find legitimacy and acceptance from their "new parent" (society at large, or some other love interest) drives them to find the unity experience outside of themselves where it can never be located.

Cha-ching.

Wholeness is an inner experience with an origin that comes from within.  By keeping children from having this experience through a variety of means both conscious and unconscious, parents maintain control over their children's behavior.  The children who manage to perceive this baseness for what it is and who rebel against it (through conscious or unconscious means) tend to end up in the sex trade as sex workers.

Cha-ching right back at ya'. 

But Hoover's house of cards all come tumbling down the instant sex work becomes a legitimate form of human expression.  And, naturally, the economy of the sex trade will recede as people opt for healing, as opposed to being addicted to compulsive acting out, and re-acting out.

More importantly, however, this vein of corruption which American democracy has used to bludgeon itself to near-death with is uncovered and exposed to the cold light of day.  The Bush Crime Family no longer has a hammer with which they can hold over the lives of heads of state and corporate cronies.  Left to its own devices, life will heal itself -- people will heal themselves.  Capitalism will be exposed as the fascism it always has been and then fall under the regulatory model of socialism where it belongs.  People will cease looking for, "security" outside themselves, removing the incentive built into bureaucracies to sustain and perpetuate their existence.

And all this happens when we legalize all human behavior that presents no harm to one's self or others.  Simple. 

Therefore, organized religion will never allow it to come to pass.  Religion, it appears, needs war in order to perpetuate itself and the human misery on which it feeds.
