Still waiting on the Icelandic mail-order brides. Any day now...

Whew, for a little while there I thought the new edition of Harvard Sluts eat Pi was never going to be released.

I actually theorized that this recession would be a boost for pornographers. With more women desperate, there will be more better-looking women willing to do porn. Thus the quality of porn can improve greatly during this period. Plus with more competition for work in porn, even twisted fetish stuff might end up with half-decent looking women. Who knows, for the porn enthusiast, this may go down in history as the golden age.

and escorts are offering more variety for less!

This is just so sexist. As a 37 year old, 30 pound overweight male why won't people pay me $300k a year to be naked? I feel shut out. Now who could I sue....

I registered for egg donation, which also goes up during economic downturn. Stripping and spank rags? I dunno, I doubt it'd look good on my resume.

There is got be some Saudi prince freak out there that is willing to take you up on that offer.

Go get working on that, and godspeed.

The Hostess Frito-Lay company.

Hey, I'm desperate! I could use that work. Oh, it doesn't apply to men, huh?! Damn, there go my financial plans.

FTA:

"Still, analysts say, the industry isn't immune to the economic recession."

What? Banks have porn-industry and strip-club analysts?

I'm getting a bonetron just thinking about this.

Its common knowledge that women make more than men in the porn industry. I wonder if Obama's "equal pay for women" will effect that...

"It is like giving a speech, but instead of imagining everyone naked, you're the one who's naked."

hehe

Maybe I don't get out to strip clubs enough, but how mnay 37 year old strippers do you see that are 30lbs overweight? I don't think it's because you're male; I think it's because you're ugly.

There's a silver lining to every cloud.

/"but baby, I'm most attracted to her mind!"

I thought a spank rag was something else... threw me for a minute.

"The city speculates and guesses," Leonidas resumed, "as to why I elected those I did to the Three Hundred. Was it for their prowess as individual men-at-arms? How could this be, when among champions such as Polynikes, Dienekes, Al-pheus and Maron I nominated as well unblooded youths such as Ariston and your own Alexandros? Perhaps, the city supposes, I divined some subtle alchemy of this unique aggregation. Maybe I was bribed, or paying back favors. I will never tell the city why I appointed these three hundred. I will never tell the Three Hundred themselves. But I now tell you."

"I chose them not for their own valor, lady, but for that of their women."

"When the battle is over, when the Three Hundred have gone down to death, then will all Greece look to the Spartans, to see how they bear it.

"But who, lady, who will the Spartans look to? To you. To you and the other wives and mothers, sisters and daughters of the fallen.

"If they behold your hearts riven and broken with grief, they, too, will break. And Greece will break with them. But if you bear up, dry-eyed, not alone enduring your loss but seizing it with contempt for its agony and embracing it as the honor that it is in truth, then Sparta will stand. And all Hellas will stand behind her.

"Why have I nominated you, lady, to bear up beneath this most terrible of trials, you and your sisters of the Three Hundred? Because you can."

From my lips sprang these words, reproving the king: "And is this the reward of women's virtue, Leonidas? To be afflicted twice over, and bear a double grief?"

On this instant the queen Gorgo reached for me, to offer succor. Leonidas held her back. Instead, yet securing my shoulder within the grasp of his warm arm, he addressed my outburst of anguish.

"My wife reaches for you, Paraleia, to impart by her touch intelligence of the burden she has borne without plaint all her life. This has ever been denied her, to be simply bride to Leonidas, but always she must be wife to Lakedaemon. This now is your role as well, lady. No longer may you be wife to Olympieus or mother to Alexandros, but must serve as wife and mother of our nation. You and your sisters of the Three Hundred are the mothers now of all Greece, and of freedom itself. This is stern duty, Paraleia, to which I have called my own beloved wife, the mother of my children, and have now as well summoned you. Tell me, lady. Was I wrong?

Upon these words of the king, all self-command fled my heart. I broke down, weeping. Leonidas pulled me to him in kindness; I buried my face in his lap, as a girl does with her father, and sobbed, unable to constrain myself. The king held me firmly, his embrace neither stern nor unkind, but bearing me up with gentleness and solace.

As when a wildfire upon a hillside at last consumes itself and flares no more, so my fit of grief burned itself out. A peace settled clemently upon me, as if gift not alone of that strong arm which clasped me yet in its embrace, but of some more profound source, ineffable and divine. Strength returned to my knees and courage to my heart. I rose before the king and wiped my eyes. These words I addressed to him, not of my own will it seemed, but prompted by some unseen goddess whose source and origin I could not name.

"Those were the last tears of mine, my lord, that the sun will ever see."

To all the guys biatching that these opportunities are only available to women - I'm sure there a bunch of gay clubs that are willing to take you up on the offer.

Yeah, how does it feel to be lusted after by some bald, sweaty, middle aged truck driver for that $5 tip, while you prance around in a g-string?

Those girls earn that money.
Bless them.

RobsterCraw: Who knows, for the porn enthusiast, this may go down in history as the golden age.

Yeah, let's hope this downturn lasts forever. And let's hope the french and swedish economies get hit hard to; the recent rise of dumping-price eastern european "adult entertainment actresses" nearly ruined the industries' standard of quality.

Many girls from recent "adult entertainment movies" have been disgustingly ugly. Maybe we'll even see a boom in high quality productions like during the nineties. Since more men don't have the money for a relationship, they might form a major new market for the "adult entertainment industry".

USA! USA! USA!

Ringshadow: I registered for egg donation, which also goes up during economic downturn. Stripping and spank rags? I dunno, I doubt it'd look good on my resume.

Used to be they only wanted Ivy league grads 5'9 and above. (or maybe those were only the ones paying out 50 grand) But don't you have to adhere to a fairly strict regimen of hormone shots and etc. if you end up doing it? I'm sure you did you research but if you want to have you own kids later is it worth the risk? It's surgery.

Viagra killed any need in the adult industry for people born with the "Last longer than an egg-timer" skill

Yes, this is truly wonderful. I hope the US falls into a complete depression. That would mean more hot women turning to prostitution and not just stripping. All you creepy, sickly-looking freaks could finally persuade a hot girl to hold still for three minutes, in exchange for a little food money.

Truly, the golden age is near.

Spiffy? How about sad?

she likes "having fun"
hard to find a girl like that.

/yes i'd bjork her.

Oddly enough, strip clubs around here are getting less business due to the economic downturn. I had a thing going with one girl who just quit because she can't make enough money at it anymore. (Of course, she quit without telling me... so that shows just how much she cared about seeing me again... :( )

You could leave it off the resume.

IIRC, guys don't even get considered to do str8 pr0n unless they're willing to work ghey first. It's a weed-out factor, along with the gang tats and the gym-rat build.

Hey, all we're talking about to take advantage of attractive women in a difficult situation for our own pleasure.
Would you not bait some hot girl with your money and status to have sexytime with you, and then when she thinks she pwn3s you, kick her right out of your door only with her underwear on?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

My college has those adds a lot (we are a "little ivy" not a full fledged one). It requires that I was between the ages of 18-22 I think with high SAT scores and taller than 5'6". I qualified at the time, but I would never had done it. Not worth the chance that I can't have kids of my own some day... or the pain. I no longer can since I'm 23 anyway though.

As a bartender and trainer at a national restaurant chain, Rebecca Brown earned a couple thousand dollars in a really good week. Now, as a dancer at Chicago's Pink Monkey gentleman's club, she makes almost that much in one good night

I'm in the wrong job. A couple thousand dollars for both seems pretty good to me.

I was watching a show on HBO ("Pornucopia," I think) that claimed straight male performers in a porno are paid a great deal less than female counterparts. The twist, however, was that a man willing to appear in gay porn is paid far beyond either of them.

berylman: Spiffy? How about sad?

This x 1000.

I know it's heresy around here, but women should be respected for their minds rather than being objectified.

It's also sad that women who worked hard to earn a college degree are being reduced to selling their bodies. All that hard work and money to earn an education going to waste.

Dancers are independent contractors, paying clubs a nightly flat fee depending on how long they work. At the Pink Monkey, for example, dancers who arrive at 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday pay a $40 "house fee," while women who don't arrive until midnight pay $90. And they keep their tips.

Yes, that means strippers pay the strip joint to dance, an example would be a dude who sets up computer networks and he would pay the the management office of that place a fee to provide his service. The closest I could come to a "house fee" scenario in corporate America would be an internship or a voluntary position.

Just b/c they're making good now doesn't mean they won't use the degree once they retire. (assuming it's full-time anyway) As a bill-paying career, you don't have far past 35 in the sex industry. If the educated ones have a lucrative career and manage it well, they'll enter middle age with an education and some savings. Better off than a lot of educated people right now.
