  3. The price of sex is about $300 these days.
    The price of these war on the wh$re non profit poverty p$mping profiteers is the debt bondage our country now lives in. Decriminalize sex and immigration NOW!

    I’m sorry to say, but in the Tenderloin there are still women only charging $40 for a session.

    This brief video did not really explain or define the horrendous tragedy which has and is occurring around the world including the U.S. The few comments seen here make light of something which is horrific. Sex is designed to do two things. Strength the bond between one committed man with one committed woman, and to hopefully create new life. All of the other pornographic depictions of sex are just that, pornographic, demeaning, sinful, what ever negative connotation one wants to or can put to it.
    Peace and God Bless

    to jonas i posted above: what a lame, thoughtless comment. as if Ms. Chakrova’s drive is about technology. here’s a hint: it’s about exposing slavery and the dehumanizing of women, globally… period. it is also very dangerous work. i sincerely commend Mimi for bringing this to public awareness.
