Girl Sells Virginity, Secures Fame And Fortune

Hey, remember Natalie Dylan? No? Yeah...we kinda forgot all about her too. Quick refresher: a year ago, Ms. Dylan put her virginity up for auction (to pay off student loans, natch). And now it seems she's found a winner. More »

The Family That Porns Together, Escorts Together

What's the one thing better than a mother-daughter porn team? A mother-daughter escort team. Yes, kids: Elli and Desi Foxx have taken up residence at the Bunny Ranch. (porninthevalley.com, via pornstarbabylon.wordpress.com)

Sex Sells... Garden Gnomes?

Romanian businessman Cristi Birgu has attracted attention by trying to drum up sales for his garden gnome business with the strategic use of prostitutes. Plastic prostitutes, that is: Birgu has the miniature ladies of the evening—also manufactured by his company—placed outside his home, in the hopes that they'll attract potential buyers. Somehow, we just can't see much overlap between the people who buy garden gnomes and the people who solicit sex workers—but hey, what do we know? (ananova.com)

Brothel Patrons Get Branded

A German brothel has come up with an interesting advertising plan (and economic stimulus package!): men who get the brothel's name tattooed on their arm will get free entry into the establishment for the rest of their life (as well as discounts on certain services, like lap dances). So, uh, what would it take to get you guys to tattoo the Fleshbot logo on your arms? (telegraph.co.uk)

Reality Show Seeks Escort For Non-Exploitative Good Time

Call girls (or escorts, if you prefer) are notoriously private people, who generally prefer to stay off the radar as they pursue the glorious, age old career of exchanging sex and companionship for money. Reality shows, on the other hand, are fundamentally about being on the radar and exploiting the intimate details of your private life for financial gain. We're not sure what you'd call a bizarro world where those two things come together. Oh wait, no, we do know: Hollywood. (reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com, thumbnail star via Ask Jolene)

Tyra Takes On Sex Work

We've had many bad interesting experiences with Tyra Banks in the past, so it comes as no surprise that we were, well, a bit confused by her latest "Porn Town" episode. Here's the gist: Tyra takes a bunch of different sex workers (including Fleshbot Crush Object Sinnamon Love), puts them on stage, and forces them to fight over things like who's more respected and higher status! They even get to assign each other roles in their little "Porn Town"! Who will be mayor... and who will be custodian?

Hiring An Escort Is As Easy As Ordering A Pizza, And Other Revelations

Last night saw the broadcast of "Dirty Money: The Business of High End Prostitution," CNBC's special on the world of sex work—and, specifically, escorts who cater to rich and powerful men. Over the course of an hour, host Melissa Francis walked us through the ins and outs of modern sex work, explaining things like "girlfriend experience" and The Erotic Review to ordinary families all across America. (And did you know that it's as easy to hire an escort as it is to order a pizza? Can we get our next escort with onions and mushrooms, please?) More »

Remember those days when hipsters with prestigious but low paying media jobs had to have trust funds or sell coke if they wanted to make ends meet? Now all they have to do is More »

Potentially bad news for fans of escort review site The Erotic Review: the site's founder is currently on trial in California for cocaine possession and having a loaded semi-automatic weapon, although there wasn't enough evidence to support the claim of the prostitute he was found with that he had "forced her to perform oral sex at gunpoint". While we're happy he's been providing a much-needed service, those allegations give us pause: when it comes to the world of sex work, who will review the reviewers? (nytimes.com - thanks K.)

Providers, Hobbyists, And Hardwood Floors: Walking The Virtual Streets

Free and open discussion of things that were formerly considered taboo is one of the best things about the interweb: websites like Craigslist and The Erotic Review have made it easier than ever for johns hobbyists to hire hookers providers for sex sensual fun, and have also made it more convenient for sex workers auto racing enthusiasts to offer their services and network with one another. But that doesn't mean it's still not a mysterious enterprise with a language all its own (who knew that "We took a trip to the Mediterranean" was shorthand for "anal sex"?) and its own private message boards where users do their best to avoid the wrong kind of attention.

... Or maybe you want to be an escort instead? We'd hate to dissuade you from your dream, so we won't; instead we'll send you over to this eye-opening post by Mistress Matisse who dishes out the "do not Craigslist" 411 advice on being your own high-end escort (or not) in a small-ish town like Seattle.

The Internet Escort's Handbook: How To Make A Fucking Profit

We got a bit uppity yesterday about people who are mean to hookers, but we were quickly reminded that not everyone is out to get them. In fact, some people are actually looking out for them, in particular, those who have been "on the job" and know what a challenge it is. Like Amanda Brooks, a former escort who has self-published her own guide to sex work: "The Internet Escort's Handbook, Book 1." More »

Freedom Isn't Free in Fremont

As three quarters of Fleshbot's readership are male prostitutes, the eyes of this site are drawn to the cash-strapped Fremont, CA court system, where this week a male escort named Starchild awaits trial for plying his trade. The victim of a sting operation instigated over the Internet by two undercover female vice cops, Starchild traveled by public transportation from nearby San Francisco to the rendezvous location two Decembers ago.

Handlers: Hillary Scott Is Not "Tiffany"

Escort ad rag LA X Press this week posted a picture of Hillary Scott on its cover beside the name "Tiffany", who was listed on page 15 as an "18-year-old hottie" guaranteeing "full release" (because partials are infuriating). More »

Pervtastic porn purveyor Davo turns to Craiglist escort ads for inspiration for his Little Book Of Prostitute Poetry, and the result is gems like "You pierced your clit/It got infected/That was not/What you expected"; amazingly, his efforts met with little response from the muses in question. So does that mean writing about sex isn't a surefire way of getting laid after all? Why have we been wasting our time all these years? (downloadingpornwithdavo.com)
