EDITORIAL #019 :

I have long said that any working girl has the right to say no to any customer at any time for any reason or even no reason at all. Please understand that, and don't say that I never said it. However, there are good, polite ways to say no, and there are bad ways that involve lying and that give the legal Nevada prostitution industry a bad reputation. Strickly speaking I support the right of working girls to lie, but as you can imagine there are negative consequences for lies and any working girl who lies must be willing to accept the consequences of her actions.

But then anyone who lies, be they working girl or customer or legal pimp or square, must be held responsible for their actions, so I'm not just singling out working girls on this.

What I am specifically referring to here is the widespread practice of "price walking", where a working girl decides that she doesn't want to do business with a customer for any price but is too much a coward to look him straight in the eye and politely tell him so, so instead she lies and quotes him an outrageously high price, expecting him to balk and walk. I've heard a couple of stories where the guy instead accepted her price and then she had to backpeddle and come up with another reason not to party with him, or she went ahead and partied with him anyway but gave him a terrible party in exchange for his huge payment.

There is no way for a customer to know that he has been price walked because the girl will always say that she charges all her customers such a large rate, which is, of course, yet another lie. The consequence of these lies is that customers get an artificially inflated estimate of what legal prostitute services cost in the state of Nevada, and this hurts repeat business. I realize that there are some working girls that don't care one bit for repeat business, but other girls have told me that repeat business is the bread-and-butter of their profession. Hence, the entire industry suffers.

There is no reason to lie and price walk a customer. All the lady has to do is treat the customer with the respect that she would want in return and look him in the eyes and tell him politely that she does not want to do business with him. This is much better than being impolite and lying. And it should go without saying that the brothel must support the working girl when she declines to do business with the customer and the customer must graciously accept the lady's decision, but it is nevertheless her responsibility to politely decline his patronage. It is unethical to lie, and prostitution will never be an ethical profession until it starts to act in an ethical manner. No lies.

I have long held that customers must treat working girls as human beings, and I stand by that. However, working girls must also treat their customers and potential customers as human beings. This is a two-way street. Does a working girl have the right to price walk a customer? Reluctantly, I agree. Is it wrong for her to exercise that right? Most definitely.

Be seeing you.
