...but they never talk about how sex for the powerful is plentiful. CNBC presented an hour long special talking about how high class call girls are finding a boom on Wall Street--despite the downturn in the economy--because the men who are their clientele needing a "boost" in their ego to make them feel better. If you didn't know already, Wall Street oozes with machismo regarding the financial business it does on a daily basis. But it kills me how the government who sees a Craig's List or other type of venues offering consensual exchange of sexual services/enjoyment seems to find a heavy hand by government officials. Sadly this same heavy hand is not placed on the folks high in power who are involved in hotel rooms, bathroom stalls, and other discreet places.
Last night I was watching the IFC channel watching one of my favorite talks on sexual issues--Indie Sex: Censorship, Taboo, Extremes, and Teens--and afterwords the movie about the life of Larry Flynn (not the Woody Harleson one) came on. One of the clips they showed was a young Charles Keating (THAT Keating of the infamous Keating 5) talking about the wrongs of pornography in our society. How I would love to be an angel in the corner seeing the various "sins" he's committed out of the site of the
PR machine.
Sex should be for all levels of society--the poor, rich and middle class- basically because it is both a human need and a need to feel human. For Craig's List to succumb to the pressures of the FBI is but another intrusion of business and a way to tell business like Craig's List that they can't do the job of weeding pedophiles from their midst. If pedophiles are such a huge problem why don't they focus their thoughts on dealing with the person than trying to clamp down on internet freedoms.
