Secrets Will Keep You Sick

I am a very curious person. I am interested in the darker side of life as well as the lighter side of things. Afew years ago I read a book entitled "Soiled Doves" about the lives of prostitutes in the 1800s West. What lives they lead. More recently, I watched a YouTube video about the lives of 'concubines' at the Mustang Ranch in Reno, Nevada. They talked about their lives there and how they were treated. They would do line ups and the customers would choose who they wanted to be with. They said that maney times the men didn't want sex, they just wanted some attention payed to them, some companionship. They said that if the situation didn't feel right or they didn't hit it off with a guy they did have the right to bring their session to a close. They made a lot of money, and talked about all the vacations and cruises they went on. One young woman was married and her husband was okay with what she was doing. They had certain goals and were able to reach them this way. Then I watched several interviews of young women who had no family life or were abused from a very early age. There were some that were trafficked. Others didn't know any other kind of life. Now many were in their 30s and were so confused and ignorant of how or what a decent life was even like. They had no normal childhood, didn't know what boundaries even was, no parental guidance or education. Sex was just something they did in order to stay alive and eat. They have no clue about decency or grace. They have never experienced kindness. They live in a depressing, violent, indecent world but-- they don't know there is another positive way of life. The difference between those two worlds is like night and day. There will always be prostitution but it can be dignified, not nasty. It is one thing to choose a life of prostitution and be treated with respect, and quite another when people treat you horribly and you are chained to such awful trauma and you don't even know there is another way of life.
