The internet is a wierd place. It makes virtually everything possible, literally. In the case of this story, even the law did not seem to apply.
In Georgia and particularly Atlanta, prostitution is illegal but where there is a will, there is a way. So you can imagine I was not surprised when I saw on Twitter, a lady asking men to "meet up" with her for 40$. Before I tell my story, I would like to say for the record that I do not condone illegal activity of any kind. Nor would I willingly or otherwise engage in any acts of prostitution including acts that may fall in a gray area of the law.
As a journalist and writer, I simply saw a story here and chose to pursue it as much as I could without actually commiting any acts that would be heinous or unlawful. In light of this to pursue my story, I DM'd (Direct Messaged) the woman to figure out how she operated.
"Hey so you want to Meet up?" I asked.
"We can. Meet ups are 40$" she replied rather nonchalantly.
"What do you get with 40$ we meet up and chat?" I replied. This may need some explanation. I have read that many men who hire escorts, are just lonely and want to chat. So it was reasonable to assume that a low amount like 40$ may just be for company.
"Do it look like I wanna chat?" She replied. It seems I was incorrect. Still I had to probe to get the full story.
"So 40$ is sex. I just didn't know if it was like 40$ to meet up for head but sex is 60$ more," I casually asked.
"Head , anal and anything else is more," she replied.
So I dropped it there. After all it's illegal and I'm not going to jail for a story but it is interesting that by calling it a "meet up" instead of organized prostitution, they can get away with it. In this case, I believe this woman moves around the country, so that may have something to do with her success but still, it's amazing how easy it is, to use social media like Twitter to make the impossible, possible and to avoid the detection of law enforcement, ill equiped to deal with the problem. After all, if she didn't think she could get away with it, why would she do it?
I'm Dylan Paul and this is the news.
