You know the woman is smart. She took a job that made her money from high prices and not from a street corner where they come a dime a dozen. She took her feeling of wanting sex and to maybe be wanted and made a living. The one thing that should not fit is her being smart, educated, and standing her ground to take care of her self. She did not have to answer to anyone but herself. What harm has she done the men who paid married or not knew what they were getting into. And I look at it as: If you want this piece as you may call it you will pay the price I set and do what I want. And it is not free to anyone...........

One can look in to this from three perspectives
I believe as a humans we should be celebrating everything thing that gives more freedom to greater number of people, where it does not imply harm to others. Dr. Magnati’s has ridden the wave of the man kind eldest professions and our infatuation with media and sex. What brought us throughout our years of development, social and otherwise, is capabilities of few to challenge pre conceived ideas. Whether it was perceived as right or wrong is immaterial, what counts is starting us to think outside our perceptions and mental chains. Such individual earns history and human kind respect. And I know for sure that the author of these blogs and the writer Ms Alisa Miller fully qualify as one. Using her blogs to detail encounters with her customers might be have some ethical undertones and I think she said once ““Yes. I’ve felt worse about my writing than I ever have about sex for money”. The fact she opted to write the blogs anonymously and only revealed her identity after giving up, my pause some questions. Us as modern societies accepting that more and more college students are taking up prostitution to meet their financial needs, is something to be addressed in terms of being desirable, immaterial or otherwise. The number of students having sex for tuition money has exploded in Europe and experts believe it will continue to rise due to the rising costs of education. There is unusual trend in sex work has grown by 50 percent over the past seven years.” In early 2008, France's education minister vowed to increase financial support after a freshman's diary and a book of interviews with undergrads exposed their experiences with prostitution” We can go and paint Dr. Magnanti with feminist, moral or ethical brushes but we need to acknowledge there is much more to her than her proclaimed sex doll, she is a medical researcher and even more noble ; she research cancer in children. The sophisticated elite look she portrayed is sexy and let me state here that sexiness is different from beauty.

OK lemme get this straight
We are glamorizing a hooker. There is no reason to praise this woman, she is a hooker with a blog. Just because you are a beautiful woman with some brains, doesn't mean you have to start a prostitution business. And then write about it! Sarah Palin just came out with a book. She is not that smart, but ran for Vice President, so don't tell me you have to open your legs to make it as a good looking woman. This sends all the wrong signals to young women. Ten years ago it was cool to shake your ass to make money as a women. Now it's cool to put a price tag on your ass? Am I the only one who sees this as really really reallllllyyyy F**K'ed UP?

Willz I think you need to understand that the 'hooker' as you say actually sold her services to men. If men were content with their wives or girlfriends or if some of them could actually form relationships then there would be no need for them to buy sex.

As long as it is legal, the choice of being a hooker and the choice of men to buy the services is entirely up to them.
The issue of men buying the service is individual issue, and can be only judged by the persons involved. In this instance it is the man conscious and the partner.

Leona,
Sex and relationships are two different things. Men look for sex in different avenues as they do relationships. Sex should be a dealbreaker when looking for a relationship, but thats up to the man. If a man's SO cannot satisfy him sexually, there is a problem for that relationship. That doesnt give you the green light to find a hooker. If a man cheats, it doesnt matter if it's with another woman or a hooker, it's still cheating. Back on subject, it hurts to see how this 'business' is glamourized and accepted. A hooker is a hooker.

Sex and love are as far apart as sex and lovemaking. Here you will need to apply your own understanding and thoughts on this as my focus will be on something else. For the past two years the UK literary world has played on and off with the identity of Belle de Jour, a supposed former high-class call girl who chronicled her experiences in an online blog and then, subsequently, in a six-figure book deal.
