Legal prostitution was always in my life.\u00a0 I grew up in northern Nevada, just down the road from several of the state\u2019s best known bordellos.\u00a0 My aunt worked at The Sagebrush Ranch, and some of my earliest memories are of riding with my grandmother to go pick her up from work.\u00a0 She would call ahead from the car when we were about 10 minutes away, and the back gate would be opened up so we could pull up to the rear of the building.\u00a0 We would go in through the kitchen, and all of the \u201cworking girls\u201d would be covered up in their robes, always excited to see me.\u00a0 While we were waiting for my aunt to gather her things, I would sit on a stool at the kitchen counter and drink a Shirley Temple while I dangled my legs that had not yet grown long enough to touch the ground from a chair.\u00a0 The ladies would put cartoons on the television for me, and just like that, I would be a happy kid having a normal childhood experience in the back room of a\u00a0 brothel (paging Richard Pryor\u2026)\u00a0 The girls would give me dollar bills and I felt rich.\u00a0 That is the first time that I remember having a sense of the value of money, and that sense would serve me well once I returned to the brothels as an adult.<\/span><\/div>\n

As I grew into my teens, I was seduced by HBO\u2019s slate of late night adult programming.\u00a0 Too young to watch by most parents\u2019 standards (including my own), I had to wait until my parents had gone to sleep and sneak back in to the living room to tune in to the forbidden land of late night cable television.\u00a0 Back in those days, HBO aired entire blocks of adult oriented shows, including \u201cReal Sex\u201d, \u201cTaxi Cab Confessions\u201d, and \u201cCathouse\u201d (the reality show based around the business at Dennis Hof\u2019s Bunny Ranch legal brothel).\u00a0 While the other two shows were set in different parts of the country and seemed to a girl from Yerington, Nevada as though they might as well have taken place in other countries or on other planets, \u201cCathouse\u201d was filmed just down the road from me, and I was fascinated with the idea that television magic was being created right in my own back yard.\u00a0 I liked the girls on the show, and I especially liked Dennis, who was the central figure that the whole business seemed to revolve around.<\/span><\/div>\n

Lots of people follow relatives into family businesses, and I guess you could say that I\u2019m no different.\u00a0 Where the difference lies, however, is that my family\u2019s history of prostitution has been a legal one.\u00a0 It\u2019s always been safe, clean, and profitable.\u00a0 Most importantly, it\u2019s been fun.\u00a0 I actually enjoy my job, and one thing that interacting with a variety of clients has taught me is that that is rarely the case for most other professionals.\u00a0 The overwhelming majority of people work at their jobs so that they can enjoy life once they get off work\u2026I go to work so that I can enjoy getting off, while I\u2019m earning that living at the same time.\u00a0 Do the math, and you\u2019ll see that I\u2019m living twice the life I would be otherwise, were I in a job that I hated, or at best tolerated. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
