[QUOTE=Steel Blue]Keep voting Democratic, between taxes and the restrictions he is putting on my cock I want to leave this state. That dam dog of a govenor now wants us to pay a toll to get to Providance, where "it" is legal.

Though you're bashing democrats, remember that "That dam dog of a governor" is a republican who replaced the previous corrupt, convicted felon republican governor.
Think about it, roughly half the truck traffic on I-95 or I-84 or I-91 every day is going THROUGH Connecticut, not even stopping in Connecticut for gas or lunch. Those guys are using our roads, beating the shit out of them, and going off to NY, MA or RI without paying a penny to maintain them.
Tolls? Bring 'em on!!
Craig"s List Prostitution
They are selling prostitutes on Craig's List? I'm shocked! I couldn't even sell my golf clubs when I put them on Craig's list.
If my taxes would drop as a result
[QUOTE=Bubba261]But your "Connectonian" taxes pay to repair the roads that out of staters rip up with their semis.
Doesn't work that way in NJ, NY, MA or even "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire![/QUOTE]
I'd be all for it. But we all know that's not happening.
Something completely different
Saw this while trolling, couldn't agree more:
"I don’t understand why prostitution is illegal. Selling is legal, fucking is legal. So why isn’t it legal to sell fucking? Why should it be illegal to sell something that’s legal to give away? I can’t follow the logic. Of all the things you can to do a person, giving them an orgasm is hardly the worst. In the army they give you a medal for killing people; in civilian life you go to jail for giving them orgasms. Am I missing something?" - George Carlin
Re: Legazlize prostitution
It depends what you mean.
I don't think anyone would want to legalize streetwalkers.
They have a negative impact on the area where they work.
Arrest of streetwalkers often give them a chance to get in a drug rehab program or get away from their pimps.

Sex workers are increasing advertising and considering returning to street-walking during the recession

Kim Capozziello, owner of Scruples Lounge in Bridgeport, has not seen much of a change in her bottom line, but her dancers have.
“People will continue to drink regardless of the economy,” says Capozziello. “When given the choice between a $20 lap dance or $20 on drinks, many of the patrons are opting to drink.”
Patty Willmott has been dancing at Scruples since leaving the insurance business nearly 15 years ago. Now in her 40s (although you’d never know it), Patty believes this is the worst economic hit of her career.
“A lot of our regulars don’t have the same disposable income they used to have,” she says. “I haven’t had anywhere near the amount of private dances I used to get.”
A Scruples patron we’ll call Rod says he has to spend his entertainment funds wisely. “I have been coming here for years and sometimes the customers have to be more cautious with their spending than at other times,” he says. “I haven’t changed my habits much, but lots of my friends who come here have curbed their spending significantly.”
Adult spas reported a huge decline in appointments. Marilyn, a spa manager, says her spa has decided to open by appointment only. “We couldn’t justify being open all the time,” she says. “Keeping the spas and saunas operating costs money.”
If exotic dance clubs were seeing their girls losing income, and spas were opting to close early, I wondered how my sisters of the evening were holding up. Some of the women I found thanks to this paper, some on Craigs-list (yes, they are still there) and a few through a friend. They all work in the Bridgeport area.
Statistics on increases in the number of women working as prostitutes, how many women are currently in that line of work and projections on prostitution are difficult to come by.
An article published in September, written by Columbia University sociologist, author and documentary filmmaker Sudhir Venkatesh, found that during difficult financial times there is an increase in the so-called indoor sex worker trade. “Sex workers of the past waited on street corners, outside bars and around parks, and their transactions were fleeting and usually for a few dollars,” Venkatesh says. He discovered that now many of these women, working exclusively indoors and managing their own careers, view themselves as therapists — part of the wellness industry, like yoga instructors and personal chefs. He found that many of the women felt the comfort and kindness they shared with their clients was just as valuable as the sex.
Since these women are not entitled to the protection normal citizens take for granted, such as unemployment benefits, severance pay and health care, what did they do when the well dries up?
Marissa, not her real name, says she has begun to panic. “I have been working for nearly 20 years and I have never seen things this bad before,” she says. “I have learned to try and manage my money better and have advertised more than I have felt comfortable doing in the past.”
Marissa has not worked on the street for many years, fearful of incarceration, but has considered revisiting those old haunts. “I may have to. I don’t really have many other options.”
Amy, her professional name, has been in this business since graduating high school and was able to make a good living.
“Even after 9/11 I was able to make good money. Now all of those untouchable money men no longer have disposable income,” she says. Amy went from five to 10 calls a day to one (if she’s lucky). “The competition has become fierce,” she says. “If you go on Craigslist and Eros online you will see how many women have begun to advertise. Escorting is a business of last resort. It has become clear that many women have arrived at their last resort. I am fortunate in the sense that I have regular clients who are wonderful to me.”
Many of the ads Amy referred to used terms like “Early Bird Special,” “First Half Hour Free!,” “25 Percent Off”, “Specials for Repeat Customers” — terms usually associated not with prostitution but with desperate times.
Cindy, a professional “scheduler,” has seen a huge drop in call volume. “I know the girls call constantly wondering if I’m getting any calls, and I’m not. We used to get tons of calls a day. Now some days the phone doesn’t ring at all. I worry about how the girls will get by.”
In some areas of the country women are pooling their resources to make ends meet. A small percentage of high-end sex workers are trying to find innovative and mainstream ways to protect themselves during these harsh economic times. Sharing a slush fund to help each other get by is one way they have found to maintain their lifestyles until the economy improves.
All the women interviewed believed the economic stress they felt was temporary. Marissa said she and her co-workers have faced difficult times before and will probably see them again, but is confident things will improve.
“We are survivors,” she says. “We work in a difficult business, but so do lots of people. I think the only jobs that are recession-proof in this economy are lawyers and psychiatrists.”
Mystique Upscale Gentlemans Club
[QUOTE=Liquidending]I went to check out the new club in Bridgeport called Mystique Upscale Gentlemans Club. It is located 2458 Main Street near the corner of Capital Avenue. I got there about 8pm and stayed till close. The place had no cover charge and there were about 15 hot dancers. Many of the girls were young college types, but there was a flavor for all. The place is big, with three stages and a very nice VIP and lap dance room. I met the owner he seems to be accomidating. The drinks were a good size, much larger than most of the competition, but the prices were the same. What I noticed there was alot of non dancers girls (24-30 years old college type) just hanging around and drinking. Best of all they were giving the girls many dollar bills and getting lap dances.
I will be going back in the near future. I haven't had this good of a time in a while.[/QUOTE]Sounds like an advertisement to me. I may have to toftt and check this place out. I will give a legit review.
Stripper's 'sex toy rape accidental'

This is funny shit!

Article from: Australian Associated Press
A BUCK'S night reveller was completely naked and on his hands and knees when he allegedly was raped by a stripper with a "statuesque'' pink sex toy, a court has heard.
Stripper Linda Maree Naggs, 40, will argue the rape of the best man at the party in the bayside Melbourne suburb of Mornington in September 2007 was an accident.
The alleged victim had volunteered to take part in a dildo routine, but asked the stripper not to penetrate him, the Victorian County Court heard.
As she was performing her routine the man felt a sharp pain and the sex toy enter his anus, it is alleged.
The court heard he later showed the stripper blood he had wiped from his bottom.
Today, Ms Naggs' lawyer Paul Higham held up the dildo to the jury, describing it as being of a "statuesque nature''.
"This is the tool that apparently was used to commit the rape,'' he said.
"The facts of which are quite unique. Certainly, I think we all agree extraordinary.
"This is a case of accidental rape, if in fact there is one.''
Mr Higham said that during the performance the best man was stark naked "with all his bits on show''.
"He then got down on all fours, if I can use the expression 'doggie style','' he said.
"Don't worry, there aren't going to be any demonstrations in His Honour's court.''
Mr Higham said he preferred to describe his client as a "dancer'' and told the court it was the alleged victim who found her website and ordered her.
On the website, you can chose between PG rated shows, ``the sort of thing you could probably take gran to'', and XXX rated shows, he said.
Prosecutor Kieran Gilligan said Naggs was the second stripper for the night at the party and came armed with a whip, vibrator and "strap on penis shaped'' sex toy.
He said the best man urged Naggs not to penetrate him.
"You said you weren't going to do that and you did,'' he told the stripper after the alleged rape.
``Do you think this is a joke when there is blood.''
The best man reported the rape to police the next day.
He also visited the Monash Medical Centre where a doctor found his injury was "most likely caused by blunt trauma''.
Judge Tim Wood said the case "perhaps has some notoriety about it'' and urged the jury to decide it only on the facts before them in court.
Ms Naggs, of Rosebud West, has pleaded not guilty to one count of rape.[/quote]The trial continues tomorrow.
