When Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, was charged with two first-degree misdemeanor counts of soliciting a prostitute at the Orchids of Asia massage parlor, the question on many lips was, ‘Why would a wealthy, famous man risk his reputation to pay for sex?’ Jenni, who was sold for sex at Orchids in 2017, tells me that outside the massage parlor where Kraft was arrested, tourists have been spotted taking selfies, either oblivious or uncaring about the fact that inside the building, enslaved Chinese women were forced to perform sex acts on men for money –

Why should they not?
Perhaps because God pointed out that fornicators are not allowed into the kingdom of God?

As someone so wisely put it, "wealthy men do not pay for sex they pay for you to leave".

I am always surprised when very wealthy, important men pay for sex. I thought there was always a Monica Lewinsky waiting for the chance.

Hard facts, and sad to say, it´s impossible to impose morality. As long as sex purchased from a prostitute costs less than the money spent on a date, with dubious guarantees on how the evening will end, there will always be a social misfit, miscreant or loner who chooses that avenue. As long as a woman chooses to degrade herself by engaging in prostitution, by choice, it´s her body, her life.
Alongside hunter/gatherer/farmer, it´s the world´s oldest profession. All a government can do is to try to make sure the women who engage in it do so by choice, isolated from the public, are free of disease and are protected from harm. This at least eliminates the need for them to operate through intermediaries by allowing them to be independent contractors.

#4, read #3.
Rich men always end up paying -- one way or the other. Slick Willie paid by getting impeached because of his time with Monica Lewinsky, and infidelity is his legacy as president. All because she was in "love" with him and wouldn´t just go away.
Most rich men would rather pay a high priced call girl -- with the clear understanding that she will walk away and never speak of their little dalliance for a nice cash payment. It´s basically a win/win for both of them (in the sickest interpretation of that that expression).
Which speaks volumes about how immoral and hopeless this world has become as God, and His rules, are more and more lost!!!

No danger of anyone paying this author for sex, it would seem.

Because they have the money, they have the urge, and there are willing sellers?

Surprised at the apparent pro-prostitution tone of some of the posts here. Also, surprised that a woman who is trying to prevent sexual violence is accused of having an agenda (and insulted for her looks). Prostitution is exploitative. It is also illegal (most places at least) Men who pay for sex doing something illegal and are also exploiting women who often
need the money to pay for drugs or an abusive pimp (or are being trafficked, like the women at this spa). It is not a profession.

If the shop was full of slaves, then the police should have freed the slaves and arrested their captors. The transgressions of the Johns (if you see it that way) are relatively trivial. It´s not as if the shop was billing itself as a house of slave girls.

First point: The author is a reporterette with The Guardian,yeah the authorette has an agenda.
Second point: Men pay,even for not so pretty ones-see Hillary! and BJ Clinton.
Third point: Power is an aphrodisiac,see Hillary! and BJ Clinton.
Me thinks Kraft is not so much lonely as he is desperate to have someone to push around in the bedroom.
Fourth point: Want to end prostitution?--Start putting the men in jail...

It seems like the author is saying it´s ok for the women to have sex with the men as long as they don´t receive money for it. I don´t think that is realistic unless women are expected to have the same interests as men.

The author doesn´t condemn high class hookers nor "dates" having sex with men, only johns who frequent public spas where immigrant women slaves are held in bondage and forced to perform multiple sexual acts on males who can pay the modest price.

The sheriff investigating the episode who originally said there was human trafficking involved came out yesterday and said there was not the evidence to prove that. The premise of the story is false. If the woman can choose to make more money at a massage parlor than she can make performing more difficult chores at the local buffet restaurant, why shouldn´t she have the option. She is an adult. There is no accusation that any were not.

Look: a shiny object we can write about. How about banning alcohol and imprisoning drinkers?

I used to believe all the goody two shoes stuff about sex. You know, wait until marriage. Stay faithful to your wife. Man up and do the right thing.
Then I was married for eight years most of which she spent cheating on me. She left me and my three children and moved away for two years the last six months of which she fell off the face of the Earth. One night she showed up demanding all her "Rights." She wound up with full custody and 40% of my income and she moved my kids three hours away.
In comparison to my ex-wife prostitutes, even high priced ones are a better bargain, far more virtuous, and even less likely to spread infections.
Go ahead, tell me I´m some terrible man after paying almost half of a million dollars over the last 15 years.
