The Hookies (NSFW)

Did you know there was an awards ceremony for professional escorts? I didn't. But there is -- the Hookies (thanks to Benjamin Nicholas for the link).

I have friends that do this, and I have one question: how is this legal? I mean, I get it, escorts are paid for their time and the companionship, not by the act (which is prostitution). But it seems like it's very much an open secret... with people only going after Craigslist, small-times hooks as opposed to what seems to be a booming online industry.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the act. I think it's one of those that, if legalized, becomes a "no victim" crime, like marijuana. Oh, and I will admit that the guys that won these awards are about 10X hotter than any Craigslist trick. Anyways, but I digress...

Oh, and congratulations to the lifetime achievement winner, also a blogger (NSFW)!

Let me reinforce this: NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW)!!! You know when *I* say it, I probably mean it.

Well, aside from a few pockets of the country, it's not legal. That doesn't mean the police have the manpower to make cracking down on online escort services a priority - especially in big cities. Some of the guys I knew in Vegas who did escorting said that learning to spot police stings was part of the deal.
