Shady Lady

I read an article about a brothel in Nevada where the owner, Bobbi Davis, is attempting to get male prostitution legalized. She believes that offering male service could be a boost in the economy we face. Up until now, men couldn't offer their services because they were required to frequently be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. Bobbi Davis was interviewed about her plans with this brothel and is determined to get what she wants. According to the article,"The health board approved a regulation to allow urethral testing for men – a crucial rule change by the state agency with ultimate power over whether prostitutes can or can’t work." The county health commission has to look at the overall idea and decide if they will agree to legalize Davis' idea to add men to her brothel. If Davis gets the approval from Nevada legislature, Shady Lady Ranch will be the first of twenty-four brothels in the state to offer a lineup of men.

Personally, I hate the idea of a brothel even existing because I think it is so degrading. The idea of a brothel adding men to their lineup of prostitutes is kind of out there because it's nothing that too many people would think of. Usually, when someone thinks of a prostitute a woman comes to mind. I mean, if brothels are going to exist than I think it's only fair that men be put in the same sucky situation that so many women have been put through over the years (as bad as that might sound.) Although, one thing that did kind of scar me is that the lineup of men are being offered to MALE clients. I understand that acceptance of homosexuality is growing across the U.S. but that disgusts me. This article was very interesting to say the least, but I would hope that Bobbi Davis' hope of legalizing male prostitutes wouldn't be legalized.
