Prostitution Isn't Small Potatoes

Naughty Reviews is, of course, an immensely helpful website that comes complete with a stunningly handsome blogger. We offer a place for providers and hobbyists to mingle and relationships to burgeon. It’s good times. Sometimes, however, a review may not encompass everything you could possibly want to know about a potential escort. Sure, you can see her picture to tell if you find her attractive, see what services she provides to know if you’re interested and read how other guys enjoyed the experience, but is that all there is?

By and large, that will be enough and we’re all the happier for it. But every so often something comes right out of left field. Something we couldn’t even have fathomed a box for when we developed the HTML for this website, so there’s no way you could have known about it. The only way you could learn this valuable, amazing, unexpected piece of information is being in the right place at the right time when it happened, or reading about it in the paper.

If you guessed I’m talking about a prostitute who puts out for potato chips, congratulations, you may be psychic. If you did not guess that, don’t worry, who the fuck could have ever guessed something like that?

This is the kind of thing none of us want to hear. Well, we do, because that shit is funny, but at the same time it casts the whole of the hobby under a very dim light. Earlier this week, a 36 year old prostitute was arrested and charged after being caught with a man who, apparently flat broke, offered to pay for her services with a $30 case of potato chips he had in the back of his truck. If you’re wondering why he had the chips, it’s because he works for Frito-Lay. If you’re wondering why she took $30 worth of chips for a blowjob, your guess is as good as anyone’s.

To start with, if you can barter sex for salty snacks you may think you’ve won a victory of value and good business skills, but it’s likely no one wins in a situation when sex is traded for Fritos. The old saying “you get what you pay for” has to have some kind of social relevance still. In any event it’s a good rule of thumb that “interesting trades” are not the sort of thing you really want to get into with a provider. Admittedly, many of us have likely heard of some women trading for items or services, but those are generally much more impressive things like a new car or body work on the old one; something more substantive than fried potato.

A more serious issue, as mentioned above, is what this means for the hobby as a whole. For you as a hobbyist, for providers who would not do such things. Maybe this woman was in a very bad way, we don’t know the circumstances that made her think potato chips were worth this sort of act and there’s probably a serious and sad story in there somewhere, but your gut reaction to that story was felt 10-fold by the public at large. People who read that felt ashamed for that woman, but disgusted at the same time. And in their heads, that woman is any provider. That Frito Lay employee is you.

If we would all endeavor and hope that one day prostitution could be legalized in America, that men would not face a stigma and providers would not face violence, disease and exploitation, this sort of thing needs to be overcome as well. Sex needs some respectability if we expect anyone to respect it.
