A former Buddhist nun weighs in on insights on sexuality & sensuality from a Nevada prostitute
It might seem strange that an ex-Buddhist nun and a prostitute would share similar views about sexuality. But that is precisely what happened as I read a recent Huffington post article, Sexuality vs. Sensuality: The Steady Decline of Affection in America, written from the unique vantage point of Bethany St. James, a self-proclaimed legal prostitute.
Sex and the Psychological City; A Relationship Blog and Love, Sex, Friendship and Intimacy
Welcome back to Sex and the Psychological City! If you have read the earlier posts, you are familiar with my confession that I was a hipper psychotherapist when my go-to girlfriends -- Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha were on the air, with fresh new material on everything from masturbation to marriage. Granted, their wardrobes and lifestyles were totally unrealistic, but the fashion and fabulousness worked well as a delivery platform for groundbreaking discussions about sex, commitment, friendship and love.
Is sleeping with a hooker something you could overlook in a relationship?
Would you ever date a man who'd slept with a prostitute? Or could you even? It's a question of morals and values, or maybe only what we can overlook in a relationship and what just simply can't. It's different for everyone. When The Gloss recently surveyed a handful of women on the topic, they got a wide variety of answers.

Dear _________, Thank you for posting your prostitution ad on Craigslist. I'm not being sarcastic. Why am I thanking you? Because if you hadn't responded, I might have never noticed I wasn't being a partner. Because of you, I chose to stay married.
Belle de Jour is really... a scientist with a PhD? Hey, Spiderman was really a photojournalist.
The jig is up. Belle de Jour, the former prostitute behind the popular column "Diary of a London Call Girl" and TV series "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" is really British research scientist Dr. Brooke Magnanti, 34. Dr. Magnanti gave the oldest reason for turning to the oldest profession -- to pay for her PhD.
Amsterdam prostitutes deserve credit. And Oklahoma City woman's interesting potato chip barter.
The government of Amsterdam has noticed that prostitutes are not being treated well by area businesses. Sex workers and brothel entrepreneurs have had a hard time getting credit from banks. Project 1012 is hopefully going to fix that. Stateside, a woman from Oklahoma City got in a bit of hot water, and a case of Frito-Lays potato chips were involved.
Male prostitution is entering the spotlight. But why?
The world's oldest profession (prostitute) has long been a lady's job. Buy male prostitution is becoming more prevalent. The big brass at HBO must have noticed this to warrant green light the new Thomas Jane show Hung. But why are male escorts suddenly in vogue?
An online virginity auction leads to tax problem & going to jail for buying your son a hooker.
Virginity appears to be a pretty big deal in Europe too. In addition to Adriana Lima holding out for marriage, a Romanian teen sold her flower to an Italian business man but must pay taxes on the transaction and a Polish man in London almost went to the slammer for trying to get a prostitute to take is 14-year old son's virginity.
Swiss Gigolo Helg Sgarbi bilked European women for millions.
Times are tough all over. A man in Europe was just sent to jail for swindling a measly $12 million from women in Europe. That's chump change to Bernie Madoff but the Helf Sgarbi didn't use complex financial tools for his fraud. The Swiss Gigolo used old-fashioned sex appeal. And when that failed sex tapes and blackmail. He's going to jail now.
