I dunno, I thought I was just being paranoid, but the first time I heard about this I thought that it would be a great place for a rapist to get a job. I mean, I wouldn’t trust the cops to take the complaint of a woman who was raped at Heidi Fleiss’s Stud Farm for Women seriously. So I would imagine that even a lot of women who are tempted by the convenience would be put off by the safety issues, even without Mike “I like to hear them scream in pain, I like to see them bleed” Tyson in the picture.

Apparently hiting women for fun and profit isn’t enough for Mike Tyson. Great move for someone known for rape and domestic abuse, by the way. He’d also like to be a manwhore:
If we were making a list of people most likely to strike a …

As she put it, women didn’t pay for sex because “women don’t live in a world of sexual scarcity.”

Exactly, the point I was clumsily making through anecdote. The whole scenario makes no sense. Women prostitute because historically its one of the few ways women can make a good buck for their independent survival (i speak of this culture/society only). Men hold the economic power and also have the social advantage of alienating women who make themselves available for purposeful sex outside of procreation/marriage.

Some small number of women may pay for sexual services, but nothing on the scale of men.

I’d have no doubt that Heidi Fleiss is first-rate nutcase.

very good Tyson history thomas, thanks.

And I LIKE the idea of the brothel for women–I think it’s high fucking time our agency is acknowledged.

In principle, I don’t have a problem with this idea, either. I do wonder, though, how much patronage such an establishment would get from women. Our local dominatrix who has a weekly sex column mentioned that the male sex workers she knew (and she knew quite a few) primarily served male clients. As she put it, women didn’t pay for sex because “women don’t live in a world of sexual scarcity.”

Obviously, this is just anecdotal evidence, and there is definitely more to the story, but she encapsulates my skepticism pretty succinctly.

which, if approved, would be the first Nevada brothel to sell the sexual services of men instead of women.

I find this hard to believe (no pun intended). Women have been paying for sex just as long as men. Get real…

Former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson proudly displays a shirt bearing the name of his brother-in-law Michael Steele, who is running for the Senate in Maryland, following his news conference in Cleveland, Ohio, October 16, 2006.

Other than that, I can’t imagine why anyone would pay to sleep with Tyson.
