52 year old Bronx prostitute still plying her trade after 30 years, for slightly less time than the typical state legislator (and considerably less money)

FTA:
"The area is less active now than in the 1990s, when HBO made its "Hookers at the Point" documentaries, in which Ms. Terry appeared under a street name, Cleo, and flashed a youthful, toothy smile.
Those great teeth are gone
, lost to diabetes, Ms. Terry said."
I'm guessing some of her johns probably pick her up for that very reason, if you know what I mean.
/and i think you probably do

Is there dust in the room, or just this lady's vagina?

"I never did drugs and never worked for a pimp for protection," she said. "What protection? If I'm in someone's car, about to die, ain't no pimp in there helping me."
"I never carried a blade," said Ms. Terry, who grew up in the Red Hook Houses in Brooklyn before her family moved to North Carolina for her teenage years. "My fists were my weapons. I learned to fight growing up with nine younger brothers."
"I love the excitement of coming out here and seeing all these beautiful people I know," she said. "Even my dates are a comfort. This place has made me strong. It keeps you young. Plus, I really, really, really dig jizz."

Prostitution should be legalized and regulated.
There should be nothing wrong, or considered wrong, or considered to be anything less than honorable, in bringing pleasure to another human. Especially when research demonstrates how importance touch is to social creatures like humans.
It should be legalized, regulated, and made safe for everyone concerned.
This woman is a hero, a warrior, an artist.

All this. I am frightened for any person, of any gender, who is a sex-trade worker. It's desperately dangerous work. I think if it were legalized, etc., life on the streets would much safer.

Those great teeth are gone
, lost to diabetes, Ms. Terry said. She mostly works days now and dresses more conservatively. "Most women don't make it to my age out here," she said. "I call myself the last of the survivors."

Of course, the counter to that is what about disease running rampant. But let's be realistic....if prostitution were legalized, then internet geekdom would celebrate worldwide. Then, of course, politicians, corporate businessmen and said geeks would all realize they all have something in common...and maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place.
All because of legalized poon selling.
America...make it so.

If you have to pay for it, you are already a failing member of humanity. If you take advantage of people that have to pay for it, gratz. People should be taken advantage of whenever possible. Builds character. Where's her pimp?

I get it. But if you shut your eyes, she probably knows things that'll get someone off in 10 seconds.
But I'm suburban white-bread, if I wanted to get a hooker, I'd have no idea what to do.

Some people have that Aretha Franklin fetish, don't you know? You gotta think about all the people with their weirdass Rule 34 fetishes - they're a whole chain of fools. But, still you gotta respect this woman for doing her best to provide for her kids and putting them through school. Ain't no way to diss the woman for doing what gotta be done.

Legalising this sort of thing is all over a good idea as far as I can see. We just need some caveats. I understand that in Germany, if you're a lady unable to find [normal] work, and if the authorities have found an opening for a sex worker that the lady would suit, then if she refuses that work then she loses her job seeker benefits.
This is good in that it might keep women from claiming benefits when really they could work, however it just ain't fair when you look at the same situation for men. Male prostitutes pretty much don't exist, right? So, unbalance.
I'm looking at this woman thinking "gahh" but by the time I'm 52, I'll probably snap and decide it's finally time I started having some sexy time. So perhaps it's good that these mature options exist. But going back to the first reaction, seriously, that coat does nothing for her figure. Sexy boots - that's
it

I don't think I'd hit it, but after that long a time, she's probably got a list of regulars to whom she's as comforting as steak and potatoes. A little cuddle time, a little of the old in-out-in-out, a little talk therapy, and then back on the street for another round of Life Kinda Sucks But It Could Be Worse.
