What’s In The News:
From The Washington Examiner – Feb 4, 2019: Pot legalization activist turns sights on prostitution, ‘comes out’ as client
- The longtime leader of the Marijuana Policy Project says that after helping legalize pot in 10 states, he’s decided to spearhead a national push to legalize prostitution.
- Prostitution is against the law in all 50 states, with the exception of some Nevada counties.
- Rob Kampia, a savvy political campaigner who grew the MPP from a low-profile nonprofit organization into a well-funded vehicle for designing state political campaigns, “came out” in an interview with the Washington Examiner as a someone who has paid for sex himself.
- “It’s important, like the gay rights movement. … If everyone knows someone who is gay, maybe being gay shouldn’t be a hassle or a crime,” Kampia said. “With this, anyone who has been engaged in paid sex, on the provider or the client side, should speak up and out themselves. I just outed myself to a reporter for the first time here.”
- Kampia said he paid for sex rarely, and that “the reason I admitted this to you right now is that it’s extremely hard to find professional men to admit to a reporter that they paid for sex, because usually their family or their girlfriend aren’t going to like to hear it.”
- According to Kampia, an unmarried political libertarian who left MPP in 2017, many of the well-heeled donors who backed marijuana legalization also support Decriminalize Sex Work, a new national advocacy group that recently launched.
- Decriminalize Sex Work currently has four staffers, including Kampia. The group’s communications director, comedian Kaytlin Bailey, said in an interview that she’s been a sex worker during two periods of her life, and she applauded Kampia for outing himself as a client of prostitutes.
- “It’s so important to show people that these are not monsters. These are not crazy, creepy people who you would never want to be associated with,” she said. “Perfectly normal men purchase sex. … I can speak with authority.”
- “Our goal is not to teach our allies not to be dumb,” Kampia said. “It is working with well-meaning legislators and activists on specific bills in specific states and winning. With marijuana, we have the playbook.”
- When successfully pushing for state legalization of marijuana, MPP branded the effort in simple terms as a bid to “regulate marijuana like alcohol.” For prostitution, he intends to push the message of “making sex legal.”
- “‘Making sex legal’ is a punchline and it’s actually more powerful than regulating marijuana like alcohol. It’s more powerful because about half of American adults have smoked pot, but almost 100 percent have had sex,” he said.
- But Kampia, who favors both legal brothels and the legalization of independent-contractor sex work, faces strident opposition to his claim that legalization would improve sex worker well-being.
- “I’m so sad I can hardly stand it right now,” said Lori Paul, spokeswoman for Breaking Free, a group that opposes prostitution, citing exploitation and violence against sex workers. “They don’t see the faces that come in here broken.”
- “No woman really wants to do this,” Paul said. “This is something where she is marginalized and someone else is trying to screw her for their own pleasure, physically or financially.”

Hey girls! Thank you for the amazing advice you’ve given through the podcast.
I wanted to ask you a question about websites. Unfortunately, I purchased Squarespace for a year at a discount because I’m a student.
Since then I have changed the email on the account but I’m afraid that if I use it, it will become an issue in reference to my personal identity.
I hate that I didn’t build my own site first but now I feel stuck. Should I keep the site and try to make it work before the year is up or should I let it all go and start from scratch?

Hey ladies, I’ve been binge listening to your podcast. Thank you for providing so much info. I’ve been camming for a few years and have only met a customer (long time regular) in person once (him and his wife paid $1500 for a night out at casino- nothing sexual happened and they paid for my own suite separate from theirs- we had a blast and plan to do it again). There are other customers who want to meet, but they are clingy/obsessive types and I fear their obsession would escalate.
Anyway, I’ve been doing research on becoming a companion on the side because camming is isolating.
My fears holding me back are somehow getting arrested or placing myself in dangerous situations. The thought of being alone with a stranger is terrifying. In my last relationship, I left because one day he physically abused me, took my phone and would not let me leave. If a boyfriend could do that; anyone can.
Sorry this is getting long. My point is that I’m hoping I can work with you ladies to connect me with trusted clients; and would like to know more about how that would work.
Thank you
