Seriously, I think this is a great idea.
First off, working with kids in the foster care system for the past eight years has made the words ‘mom’s boyfriend’ or ‘stepdad’ something that makes my stomach clench. AND yes, there are a lot of amazing men out there, but if a single mom wants to get laid wouldn’t it be nice for her to be able to go somewhere safe and not have to bring a guy to her home?
Or go to his home? In a country where one out of every four women is raped, getting our needs for sexual intimacy met can be very frightening. Sex shouldn’t be scary.
Which is why we need a brothel for women. A safe place where an exchange of money for services is clear. Expectations are clear, as are boundaries. A place where a women could explore kinks. Or maybe have a romantic dinner and sex after. A place where our weight, stretchmarks, age won’t be something we have to worry about.
A place where women healing from rape and/or sexual abuse can hire someone she knows will stop when she says “no” and won’t be hurt/frustrated/angry with her. A place where she can work to reclaim her sexuality before seeking out a partner.
Really, I think it’s an amazing idea. It could even be like a spa, get a mani-pedi, massage, have a lovely meal, and awesome sex. 🙂
No worrying about getting or not getting called by the guy.
No worrying about what he wants, if he’ll use you, if he’ll hurt you or your kids.
A safe place to explore and enjoy your body and sexuality.
So what do you think? Am I the only one who sees the potential here?
This is a fantastic idea. Let’s crowdsource it! You can be the madam and interview all the men. Perfect position for you. We can do an old west theme, even. I’m totally serious. Ever read Tom Robbins’ book with Sissy Hankshaw?
LOL thank you! I’m all for interviewing men but I would need someone else to run the money side of things, that is not my gift!
I love the idea! It reminds me of the TV show, Gigolos. Many of the (true) stories of women paying for escorts are really empowering.
I’ll have to check that show out 🙂 Thanks August!
I think it’s genius! I like the idea of a brothel more than a gigilo, the whole safety thing. Seriously at this stage of the game if anything ever happened to my husband, this would be such a wonderful alternative, especially if I just want to have sex!
Right??? I wish someone would create it.
