Very interesting Podcast dealing with prostitution from a client’s point of view....
I just wish more sex workers could conduct these interviews so that the men would feel more comfortable. Poor guy sounded scared to death.
Check it out!
PS. What the hell is a "John School"?

Move over Barack Obama....
You’re not the first black president of the United States of America. As a matter of fact, you are the 7th. This is a part of History that they don’t teach in schools, but they did manage to teach the stupid “One Drop Rule” which is a historical colloquial term used in the United States during the Jim Crow era, which says that a person with one drop or any trace of Black sub-Saharan ancestry (however small or invisible) cannot be considered white, and therefore must be considered black.
And if this rule was the Law, then at least 6 of our American Presidents were Negro’s (Octoroons and quadroons). Heyyyy!
-Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson was described as the son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father)
-Calvin Coolidge (He claimed his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor," and in Europe, the name "Moor" was given to all Blacks, just as "Negro" was used in America. It later was concluded that Coolidge was part Black)
-Andrew Jackson (“The Virginia Magazine of History”, states Jackson was the son of an Irish woman who married a mulatto man. The magazine also stated that Jackson's oldest brother had been sold as a slave).
-Warren G. Harding (Warren G Harding did not deny his African ancestry when Republican leaders called on him to deny his "Negro" history, he said, "How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence.". Evidently, Harding had Black ancestors between both sets of parents. Harding attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves)
-Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln's mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed "Abraham Africanus the First" by his opponents).
As of recently Dwight Eisenhower was added to this list because his mother was an alleged quadroon.
My oh My, History is fascinating!
Below is a picture dwight Eisenhower's parents.
On my quest to find interesting facts about the history of Brothels, I ran into an interesting read on the Brothels of Pompeii. Now, I am in no way a historian but ancient history fascinates me. And Pompeii is a part of Ancient History that I found wildly fascinating.
Not only was the history of Pompeii interesting, but the demise of the town was terribly tragic. A volcano erupted sending a cloud over the town that instantly killed with temperatures reaching at least 480 degrees. And the people that didn’t burn to death were covered in 12 layers of soil and ash. That’s terrible!
And in Christian culture many Theologians believe that Pompeii was the Bibles Sodom and Gomorrah due to the similarities of the demise. But the fundamental difference between Sodom and Gomorrah and Pompeii was that Pompeii was a mainly heterosexual town and Sodom and Gomorrah was a Homosexual town.
But let’s get back to the brothels……
Lupanar is the oldest known brothel in the world and is located in the ruined Roman city of Pompeii. Its name means “Den of the she-wolves”. Most of the prostitutes were “slaves”, or more appropriately, domestic house maids. But what I found most interesting is how the men would carve reviews of the girls on the walls, like our clients do for us at TER and Bogdoggie.
"hic ego puellas multas futui" (here I fucked many girls)
And the prostitutes would respond back with their notes carved in the walls.
"felix bene futuis" (happy man, you fuck well)
I love how all the sex positions that we do now was done thousands of years ago. Noting we do today is new. Who would have thought eating pussy took place that long ago.
Check out this fresco depicting the customer eating the ho's pussy. Oh hell yeah!
I was reading a post on the fabulous blog funkybrownchick.com about women sleeping with married men, and just when I was about to post a comment, my inner spirit guide said to me....
“Don’t you fucking dare".
And immediately commenting became a BAD, BAD, BAD idea.
This is a debate I will never win and I never expect to. But when you’re in a business where you’re intimate with married men constantly and you depend on them financially, it anesthetizes you to reality, and everything that is supposed to be sacred becomes fair game. But to avoid becoming a predator that destroys marriages, I’d keep my distance from married clients emotionally and maintain business at all times.
But sometimes the waters you swim in become murky and you loose your way when you unexpectedly fall in love with one, and it takes you so far out of your comfort zone. It’s like shooting up a drug for the first time and becoming addicted to the high, although you know it’s wrong. But I can’t stop the addiction now, even if I wanted to because he has become my drug of choice and I’m a junkie for him.
I keep hearing the quote from the movie “The Bridges of Madison County” when Meryl Streep says:
“And in that moment, everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before”.
I don’t know what’s going to become of all this. Maybe Karma will kick my ass later, who knows? But I pray that if an ass kicking is in my future, that it’s swift and painless so that I can get back to my regularly scheduled programming of being a Hustler.
If there is ever a skill that I believe that everyone should master, that skill is knowing WHEN and HOW to shut the FUCK up. Back in my youth it was customary to always get my point across and be heard. And because of this fault, and YES it’s a fault, I lost, destroyed, and sabotaged a lot of great things and people in my life.
But with age came experience, and experience brought me small sprinkles of wisdom that taught me how to conveniently maneuver around people and their temperaments. And what I’ve learned in my short 32 years is that no matter how much people tell me they want truth and honesty, that doesn’t mean that I should always be truthful and honest with them. And the best thing to do if I believe that my honesty will cause me grief is to shut the fuck up!
Shutting the fuck up has saved me grief and headaches over the years that even when I want to strike and defend myself, I find it best not to react. It’s the reaction that makes you look like a fool and your silence that gives you power, and I’ve always been able to control certain situation through silence. It’s a Jedi-Mind trick that I learned from the book, “The 48 laws of Power”, which says conceal your intentions and always say less than necessary.
But it’s Law # 9 that has taught me the most.
“Win through your Actions, Never through Argument”
Great Book, everyone should own it!
(Goddess Ishtar- Sacred Prostitute)
Let’s go to church ya’ll.
Did ya’ll know that certain ancient Gods were said to use the service of prostitutes? I mean, how bad can hookers be if the Gods used them?
Just imagine Jesus having to cohort for months with a bunch of stinky men in a desert, then in his down time lying up with some young supple prostitute? Wasn’t Magdalene an alleged prostitute and also Jesus favorite disciple? In Luke 7:38 it states that Magdalene was crying and washed Jesus feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them over and over again, and poured the perfume on them.
These Prostitutes to the Gods were called “Hierodule” or “Sacred Prostitutes”, and their sole mission was pleasing the Gods sexually. After while they became knows as Goddesses, and rows of naked men would flock to them carrying various objects, bowls, vessels, baskets of farm produce, sheep and goats as payments for their services.
I even read that the Hebrew folk dance named the Hora, a tradition at Jewish weddings, is named after the circle dances of the sacred harlots. Such holy harlots were often "brides of God" similar to modern nuns, the "brides of Christ." The holy harlots were set apart to give birth to Sons of God. In other words, these women had the job of merging humans into Human Gods, like Jesus was.
The early fathers of Christianity claimed power by abolishing goddess/prostitute worship. But surprisingly the Prostitute/ Madonna idea was a construct of the early Papal Councils around 600 AD, so what made them decide to abolish the idea?
But what I find most funny is how modern religions make you believe that having a virgin is the ideal woman to have, yet all the Gods wanted whores and harlots as wives and lovers.
Pictured above is the Goddess Ishtar who was a prostitute to the Gods. Below is the building dedicated to her called "Ishtar Gate" that was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II.
I read an interesting article that stated ONLY 1 in 20 African Americans actually had Native American Ancestry and what we mistook as Native American Ancestry is actually European Ancestry.
So - to my fellow black folks who thought that they were descendants of any Native American tribes, ya'll are actually descendants of the Spanish, French, Dutch, and British Tribes.
During slavery times, fugitive slaves were often returned to their masters by bounty hunting Native Americans. As a matter of fact, the colonies implemented policies that rewarded Native Americans with guns, land, and cattle if they returned a significant amount of runaway slaves, dead or alive.
Native Americans weren't going to risk their land and freedom by protecting black folks. They had already lost so much from the Trail of Tears journey and the mass extermination of the Buffalo, so they were willing to do just about anything to get their shit back or recoup what was lost. According to researchers and historians, substantial social contact ONLY occurred in the early colonial era (circa 1619) where settlers enslaved Native Americans and Africans together, and then between the Revolution and Civil War where a small amount of black slaves were owned by the 5 civilized tribes.
So my question is, who started the myth about blacks and native Americans race mixing? I guess Chris Rock said it best; "It's easier to say you have Native American Blood than to say your ancestors got raped by master a few times"!
I guess that question shouldn't matter to me because I know who I'm a descendant of. My documented European ancestor's name was Baptiste Becquette. The French and Spanish governments ruled parts of Missouri before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Both the French and Spanish governors provided land grants to the early settlers, and Baptiste was one of those early settlers who were granted land circa (1799).
I don't know anything about the early Becquettes, but I do know that they settled in the St. Genevieve MO area in the late 1700's and my Nana is from St. Genevieve and had that last name up until she got married to a Jones in the 1920's.
I think tracing your family roots is fascinating. We should all do it!
