"Think of the children" is an argument consistently used to justify adult insecurities. Hate gay marriage? Just argue that it erodes a "child's sense of innocence." Disgusted by sex workers walking the streets in "broad daylight"? Argue that a child could see them. Uncomfortable with people openly discussing alternate sexualities? A [...]

A recently closed "massage parlor," Orange Spa
Yesterday, D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles sent out a press release announcing the recent closure of several District "massage parlors," "health spas," and "wrestling clubs" operating as a front for prostitution (or other illegal activities).

How might we, as journalists, begin to make local news reports on prostitution less insanely creepy? Cyndee Clay, Executive Director of Helping Individual [...]
For two weeks, FOX 5 trained "secret cameras" on the intersection of 11th & K NW in an attempt to catch sex workers in the act. FOX 5's investigation revealed "ladies of the night hitting the streets in broad daylight." But while reporter Tisha Thompson's work included the requisite indignant neighbors, official police commentary, and [...]

The operation follows the typical "To Catch A Predator" model: "The men contacted Montgomery County Police officers posing as a 16-year-old high school sophomore on Craigslist.com, negotiated how much they would pay for specific sexual [...]
Diane wants one more blowjob before she goes home. She had set a goal of making $100 for the night. She'd made $50 from one customer an hour earlier. She just needs one more dude to roll up and take an interest in her sales pitch.
Diane never fucks for money. She only sucks dick. If [...]
