The Physical Universal Shifts of Consciousness
Another Side of
Prostitution
You
are not Your Physical Body; You are Not the Physical Matter: You are
Energy! And Everything what happened to You, happened for One Good
Reason: to Merge Your Energy with the Energies of Others, with the
Energies of Earths, with the Energies of Universes! The Mixed Energy is
the Final Product of all Universal, Galactic and Planetary Games. The
Culmination of
this Blending Process for this Universe will be in December 2013: the
Final Stage of the Universal Shift!

What
you need
to remember that Prostitution and Sex have another, more
important function: to mix different Energies of different
people/Et's/animal life together with Earths and Universal Energies for
the Planetary and Universal Shifts! I am against any form of Violence
though (rape is
a cruel mixing of
energies)!
There
is
nothing wrong with prostitution from non-physical point of view: it's
just a mixing of different energies. When you get into non-physical
level permanently, you will understand
me pretty
well and you will laugh at everything you did in this "Planetary Game"!
Model Show by
Prostitutes
Prostitutes Hold Fashion
Show In Rio de Janeiro's Red Light District, Brasil
A model walks the stage at a fashion show in the red light
district, Vila Mimosa, wearing clothes designed by sex workers on
December 11, 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The fashion show, which is
a government
sponsored project to give female prostitutes other career choices, displayed
dozens of new designs on both models and three fellow prostitutes.
The Association of the Residents and Friends of Vila Mimosa teaches the
women skills in sewing and design. Out of the 105 woman to enroll in
the fashion design program 65 have now found jobs in other professions
besides working in the sex industry.
Prostitutes turn models for a

Prostitutes
became models for a night in Rio as they paraded the latest collection
of their Daspu brand, founded four years ago to fight discrimination
against their in Brazil.
The
voluptuous
mannequins cheerfully exhibited the colorful wear during a night time
catwalk of sorts, showing off the summer 2010 collection -- 'Farofa
(fried manioc flour) caviar!' -- inspired by bar and nightclub culture.
They
swaggered,
hips jutting forward, on a red carpet laid in the middle of Tiradentes
Square, in the heart of a decaying historic neighbourhood where some
300 prostitutes still work.
'When
my hooker
girlfriends parade pretty and proud, they are speaking about themselves
and become revolutionaries,' said Gabriela Leite, 57, after the show.
The
former
prostitute launched the Daspu label -- a play of words on 'das putas'
(for the whores) and the posh Daslu department store in Sao Paulo. She
also heads DAVIDA, a non-governmental group for AIDS prevention and the
protection of prostitutes' rights that represents 4,500 women in Rio
state.
The
new
collection, created in collaboration with designers from the
southeastern Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, sought to show that
prostitutes feast on farofa -- a dish popular among the poorer classes
-- but also caviar, champagne and cachaca, a sugar cane liquor.
The
brightly-hued
T-shirts and mini-dresses sported inscriptions like 'Daspu a la carte,'
'Whore serving' or 'Puta libre', a reference to the Cuba libre rum
cocktail.
This
year, the
fashion show closed an event organised by the city to 'celebrate health
and citizenship' that was supported by artists and circus dancers.
Daspu
was launched
in 2005 as a way for prostitutes to gain regular income while also
fighting preconceptions of people affected with AIDS. Sales revenues
are reinvested into initiatives combating sexually transmitted diseases.
'Daspu
gets rid of
prejudice. It opens paths for the citizen whore,' said Leite, an
activist in favour of regulating the profession."

Males-Prostitutes
Dangerous Sex
Vatican chorister Thomas Eheim hired male escorts for papal attendant Angelo Balducci - report
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/vatican-chorister-thomas-eheim-hired-male-escorts-for-papal-attendant-angelo-balducci-report/story-fn3dxix6-1225837580667
March 06, 2010 7:41AM
A SINGER in the Vatican choir had sex with one of the Pope's
gentlemen-in-waiting and procured male escorts on his behalf, the
Italian weekly Panorama says. Telephone intercepts collected as part of
an extensive corruption probe into Angelo Balducci showed that
40-year-old Nigerian Chinedu Thomas Ehiem would find men on the
"Pianeta Escort" (Planet Escort) website and set up encounters between
them and Balducci in his apartment in Rome, the weekly said on Friday.
In an interview with Panorama, Mr Ehiem said he had sex with Mr
Balducci "for five or six months" because of financial problems. After
a lengthy period without making contact, Mr Balducci then got back in
touch with Mr Ehiem, asking him to organise encounters for him via the
internet.
"He asked and I executed. He would give me 50 or 100 euros, never more
than 1000 or 1500 euros a year," Mr Ehiem said, adding that for Mr
Balducci "a 26-, 27-year-old man was too young. He preferred meeting
mature people - 40 or older."
New Woe for Vatican as Usher Linked to Prostitution
March 4, 2010
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=10007166
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - One of Pope Benedict's ceremonial ushers and a
member of an elite choir in St Peter's Basilica have been implicated in
a gay prostitution ring, in the latest sexual scandal to taint the
Vatican.
Ghinedu Ehiem, a Nigerian, was dismissed by the Vatican on Wednesday
from the Giulia Choir after his name appeared in transcripts of police
wiretaps, published by an Italian newspaper, in an unrelated Italian
investigation. Among four people arrested last month in the corruption
probe was Angelo Balducci, a engineer who is a board member of Italy's
public works department and a construction consultant to the Vatican.
Balducci was arrested on corruption charges and the allegations of
prostitution emerged only later.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4656143&page=1
Even as he told reporters on his flight to America that he was "deeply
ashamed" over the church sex abuse scandal, Pope Benedict was accused
by victims of protecting some 19 bishops accused of sexually abusing
children.
"As a Catholic, I have to sadly conclude that he is not serious about
ridding the church of corrupt bishops," said Anne Doyle, co-director of
BishopAccountability.org, a group tracking public records involving the
bishops.
According to the group, of the 19 bishops "credibly accused of abusing
children," none has lost his title, been publicly censured by the
Vatican or referred for criminal prosecutions.
"The sexual corruption in the Catholic church starts at the very top," said Doyle.
Pope Benedict told reporters on his flight this morning from Rome to
Washington, D.C., he would do everything possible to avoid a repeat of
the scandal. "We will absolutely exclude pedophiles from the sacred
ministry," he said, according to Reuters.
Balducci is also a member of an elite group called "Gentlemen of His
Holiness," ushers who are called to serve in the Vatican's Apostolic
Palace on major occasions such as when the pope receives heads of state
or presides at big events. The wiretaps were carried out in connection
with a probe into corruption in contracts to build public works,
including the planned venue in Sardinia of last year's G8 summit. The
summit was eventually moved to the Abruzzo region as part of efforts to
help it recover from an earthquake. Gentlemen of His Holiness" carried
the coffin of the late Pope John Paul at his funeral in 2005.
Excerpts of the wiretaps and police documents published in the Italian
newspaper La Repubblica showed that Ehiem, 40, had been in regular
contact with Balducci before Balducci's arrest last month and the
subject of their conversation was gay sex.
A police document prepared for magistrates and published in part by La
Repubblica said Balducci was in contact with Ehiem and an Italian who
were part of what the police called "an organized network ... to abet
male prostitution."

Nevada's First Legal Male Prostitutes
http://bigpondnews.com/articles/OddSpot/2009/12/15/Nevadas_first_legal_male_prostitutes_406377.html
The owner of a brothel more than two hours' drive from Las Vegas said
she hopes to hire Nevada's first legal male prostitutes within a month,
now that state health officials have approved a method to test men for
infectious diseases.
The world is ready for women, or even other men, to legally buy sex,
said Shady Lady Ranch owner Bobbi Davis. Plus, being the first to offer
male service could boost business in tough economic times, she said.
'With so many other male revues going on in Vegas, we thought it was
time to give this a try,' Davis told The Associated Press.
Until now, men have been effectively barred from legally plying the
world's oldest profession in Nevada by the specificity of a state
health law requiring prostitutes to undergo frequent cervical testing
for sexually transmitted diseases.
The health board approved a regulation to allow urethral testing for
men a crucial rule change by the state agency with ultimate power over
whether prostitutes can or can't work.

If you read David
Icke's and other
writers books on Illuminati, the Secret societies actions, you will see
that a lot of it is based on Sex. Children of both genders have been
made into prostitutes. Draconians and other entities are eating us as
children. Males as prostitutes is not a
new thing: it's been done
on Original and Parallel Earths for thousands of years.
But what
could
be new for many is the fact that most men have female- Alters working
as prostitutes on any of Parallel Earths or the Original one!
Everything what is happening in
our 3D worlds is approved by the Councils on much higher Densities.
Why so much Sex and Violence, connected to Sex, have been allowed in
our lives? The answer is : the Planetary and Universal Shifts and the
Creation of the New Evolutionary Energy, which will take us through
these Shifts.
To achieve the Creation of this New Energy the different energies of
different beings/animals needed to be mixed constantly,
for thousands of years and often against our will with a lot of
cruelty. Wars, Sex, Creation of Genders and us being food for others
are the best examples of this Energy mixing process (and there are
other examples). The problem is that we see it only from 3 D, physical
point of view. We don't see us as energy, which needs to be mixed and
distributed all over our Original and Parallel Earths. And when you
look at it from a non-physical point of view, then all the negative
sides of the mixing us with everyone/everything imaginable would not
seem as negative anymore.
To make us not to be aware of
the Energies mixing process and interfere with it, thousands of tricks
have been designed.
Sex also has been a colossal obsticle for astrals travelling
for
both genders. The army of Low Astral Beings has been employed to
interfere with our lives, sexual relationships and Astral Travelling.
For years I've been witnessing the sexual torture of my son by the Low
Astrals and humans from other dimensions. Many times he's been
complaining to me that he didn't want any Sex, but someone invisible
would make him to perform it. Sometimes (he told me) his penis would
move to the different beats of heavy metal music, he was fond
of. Sex also has been a colossal
obstacle for Astrals Travelling for
both genders and it, definitely, showed in my son: he stopped
remembering his astral travels.
The movie "Total Recal" with Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed
prostitution on Mars, which could be Mars in any Parallel Universe and
it is a fact.
The best example, of Sex being an ostacle in Astral Travels, I found in
R.Monroe's "Journeys Out of the Body", in Chapter 15 "Sexuality in the
Second State, p.190-193:
15.
SEXUALITY IN THE SECOND STATE
Throughout
the entire experimentation, evidence began to mount of a factor most
vital to the Second State. Yet in all the esoteric literature of the
underground, there is no mention of this, not so much as one word of
consideration or explanation. This factor is sexuality and the physical
sex drive. If the Second State data is contemplated as fact, this
business of sex among humans has somehow become thoroughly confused,
distorted, and badly misunderstood.
In a nation where over 90 per cent of the practicing psychiatrists are
Freudian, much mention is made of this factor. Virtually no thought or
action stems from any other motivation, if we subscribe wholly to this
theory.
With the label of
"evil" long
pinned to the subject, the underground probably ignores it as something
grossly "material" and unworthy of any bearing in spiritual
development. Much the same pattern has applied to religions, formal and
otherwise. Like food, this necessity was manipulated in man's history
again and again under artificial rules and
taboos to exercise
control over the mass populace.
To a great extent, this still applies as a basic control over our
desires and actions. Watch almost any American TV commercial to observe
one facet. Listen
to a hell-fire-and-damnation preacher for another.
Study the uncensored history of any major civilization or religion for the long look.
In the underground, there were rumors based upon mild evidence that
many well-known "psychics" were highly sexed individuals. The more
sophisticated group claimed knowledge of this parallel, but nothing was
synthesized from it. Gurdjieff, the famous early-twentieth-century
mystic, was reported to have stated that if there had been two obstacles
to achieving the mystical state such as the sexual one presented, he
wouldn't have achieved it. It is impossible to describe how deeply I
now appreciate and understand Gurdjieff's comment. For I have been
subjected to the same environmental concepts and conditioning as any
American. Even now, after a deconditioning process, I sense echoes of
guilt and sin in attempting to bring some candor to this section. Yet I
know this would be an incomplete report without it.
Here are some excerpts from the notes in the early experimental stage.
5/7/58
Late night, bedroom, low humidity, no moon, 1 was physically tired,
mentally calm. I lay down to sleep, and the vibration pattern developed
some five minutes later. I got up courage to try a "lift-out" thought,
and moved out and up slowly and steadily to about five feet over the
bed. I was trying to decide what to do when I was filled with a great
desire for sexual satisfaction. It was so strong that 1 forgot
everything else. I looked around and spotted my wife lying below me on
the bed. I went down and tried to wake her so we could have a sexual
act, but was unsuccessful-she wouldn't wake up.
I felt that the only way I could achieve results would be in the
physical, so I dove back into the body. The vibrations started to fade
almost immediately. By the time I sat up physically, the sexual desire
had gone completely. This is very strange;
I didn't know I had such strong undercurrents of desire.
6/1/58
Late night, bedroom, average humidity, cloudy. 1 was sleepy, but
mentally alert. The vibrations came in some two minutes after lying
down to sleep. I lifted straight out and up by the "think" method, and
was overwhelmed again with the sex urge, for the fourth time in a row.
I can't shut it off, no matter how hard I try. Disgusted with myself, I
went back into the physical. The vibrations were not in evidence when I
sat up. There must be a way to shut it off!"
Later Bob found that
way to shut it off.
*****************************
Prostitution
on Parallel Earth Worlds
On Parallel Worlds the
situation is the same: men depend on female's energy, females recharge
them, like here on Earth. There is some interesting extract from
R.Monroe's "Far Journeys",
p.85 abour R.Monroe visiting one of the Parallel Realities:
"Unable
to attract
the attention of those moving on the street, I entered one of the
buildings and found myself in a large room which greatly resembled the
lobby of a medium-sized hotel. There were people standing around,
apparently in conversation. I approached a man (?) who appeared to be
standing behind a desk. He looked at me expectantly. I knew I needed a
reason.
"Do you, uh, do you have a
restaurant here?" I tried to make it casual, but as he
blanked I knew I had done it wrong.
I turned to my rudimentary NVC (nonverbal communication).
(Do you have the means for me to recharge?)
The man lighted brightly, waved me off to the right. As I walked in the
indicated direction, I felt smug (self-satisfied).
I had passed one test. They didn't
vocalize but they understood me. Even my weak, nonverbal communication.
From here on, it would be easy. I
began to speculate as to the food they consumed. It was sure to be
unusual. An archway, rounded, was in front
of me, and it appeared dark beyond—no, not dark, just lit
differently in a mixture of colors. I strode confidently through the
archway and into the colors.
Just
inside, the radiation hit me like a sheet of hot flame and I staggered
back.
This wasn't the restaurant, the man got it all wrong. From all sides
came the
overwhelming attraction of female sexuality, inviting, asking,
offering,
promising—it was too much (females
are used as a bait, sexually by males in Original Timeline and,
perhaps, in most Parallel Realities. If males were not dependent on
females energy, this trick wouldn't work. I'm sure that this is one of
the traps for spiritually not evolved males, which our Universe is full
off. Parts of our souls are trapped in many places, gaining experiences
till the time comes to retrieve them, LM).
With great effort, I backed out
through the archway, breathing heavily and trying to calm down. I had
just about
smoothed out (pull myself together) when I looked up and the room clerk
(?) was in front of me, accompanied by two other men—percept
police, authority, KGB,
etc. One KGB moved in. (Your ident, please?) I began fumbling (using
the hands uncertainly) in my pockets for my wallet, only there were no
pockets in the one-piece cover I was wearing. But there was a belt on
me with a small pouch attached to it. I reached in the pouch and there
was
a card in it. I pulled it out and it resembled nothing so much as a
typical credit card. KGB took it from me, examined it carefully, then
looked up.
(From Earth, huh? Never heard of that city. Over on the other side of
the ocean?)
I smoothed. (Why, uh, yes, you see . . .)
KGB waved the card at me. (Well, we don't particularly like you
visiting here, but you got to obey the rules.)
I brightened. (Sure, I understand.)
(Here, we don't go into private space and take without paying first.
Always pay first.) KGB turned to the desk clerk, handing him my card.
(How much of it do you want? He hasn’t got very much.)
The desk clerk dropped the card into the pouch on his belt. (That ought
to about cover it.)
I started to protest. (But that's all I got, I can't . . .)
(In that case we'II have to flag you.) The second KGB stepped forward
and took my hands. (Can't have you walking around upsetting things
without any ident (mental name or address).
I flickered. (What are you going to do?)
The second KGB pulled a small flat box out of his pouch and opened it.
(Hold still, this won't hurt.)
He took one hand and pressed my fingertips into the box. I thought,
fingerprints, they're taking my fingerprints. But
I was wrong. A black
dye spread quickly up my fingers until it covered my entire hand. As I
stared at it, bewildered, they stuck the fingers of my other hand into
the box
and I had two black hands. I tried to rub it off, but it had penetrated
the
skin. The first KGB looked at my hands, satisfied. (That ought to do
it. At least the people will see you coming.) (And be warned,) the
second KGB added. (I'd advise you to go back home. Not much action for
you here,
the way you are. No ident to play with.) The first KGB looked at me
hard. (We'll be keeping an eye on you.)
Then the two turned and walked across the room and out into the street."

Quarter of South African men
admit to rape
http://bigpondnews.com/articles/TopStories/2009/06/19/Quarter_of_Sth_African_men_admit_to_rape_343618.html
Friday, June 19, 2009 » 07:42am
More than a quarter of South African men have admitted to raping a
woman or girl, with 9.8 per cent forcing themselves on a victim for the
first time before the age of 10, a study has found.
The Medical Research Council (MRC) study of 1,738 men found that nearly
half had done so more than once, driving home South Africa's reputation
as one of the world's worst rape capitals.
Among the men surveyed, 27.6 per cent admitted to raping a woman or
girl. One in five of confessed rapists had HIV, added the study, which
canvassed men of all race groups, different socio-economic backgrounds,
and urban and rural areas.
Nearly 10 per cent of the men said they had forced a woman or girl into
sex for the first time when aged under 10 years old.
Nearly 73 per cent of the men committed their first rape while under
age 20.
The incidence of HIV among rapists was similar to the rate among the
general population. But 27.8 per cent of the men who said they had
committed same-sex assaults tested positive for HIV.
More than 42 per cent of men in the study said they were physically
violent to their partners, and those men were more likely to have HIV,
the council said in its study released on
Thursday.
South Africa has one of the world's highest rates of reported rape,
with 36,190 cases -- 99 per day -- reported to police in 2007, but
experts say only a small number of attacks are reported.
The country has the highest number of HIV infections in the world.

Refugees are forced into Prostitution

Iraqi
refugees forced into Prostitution
Without the right to work, Iraqi refugees are forced into drug
trafficking and prostitution.
We show this segment courtesy of http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org
Alive in Baghdad employs Iraqi journalists to produce video packages
each week about a variety of topics on daily life in Iraq.
Damascus, Syria - The situation in Iraq forced many Iraqis to flee to
nearby countries such as Syria and Jordan. Many of them fled between
the years 2003 and late 2007. When a family flees to one of the nearby
countries, often part of the family will remain in Iraq to provide
money and financial support.
Many families send the father or a brother back to Iraq to help them
collect money and support their life in Damascus or Amman. The reason
behind that is Iraqis are not allowed to work in those countries, the
only visa the are permitted to apply for is the tourist visa, and if
you will look at the visa stamp which says “Not allowed to
work.”
Unfortunately, some fathers and brothers returned to Iraq and they
never came back, either killed or kidnapped or detained somewhere,
families were forced to return to Iraq because they cannot afford
living in Syria or Jordan any more, and some remained rather than
returning to the potential dangers in Iraq.
Some families were lucky and found a job “under the
table”
that helped them to remain in their new country and to afford living in
the lowest life standards. Others were forced to take difficult or
unappealing jobs that do not cover all their expenses. Iraqis without
sponsors were forced to do work that no human would wish to do, such a
working in drug trafficking or prostitution. Some of the sex workers
are under the age of 16, those sex workers are afraid of being hunted
down by their families in Iraq for the work they performed in Syria or
Jordan, and at the same time they are afraid of being deported from
their new country. Some sex workers committed suicide, and a number of
them began to consider doing the same.
In Damascus the average payment for sex workers is approximately 500
Syrian Pounds (10 US dollars) to 1000 Syrian Pounds (20 US dollars) per
night. The customers are from all different nationalities, others get
paid much less, even just 100 Syrian Pounds (2 US Dollars) to 250
Syrian Pounds (5 US Dollars) which is barely enough money for food.
Alive in Baghdad has been informed that in several cases a sex worker
has been killed after returning to Baghdad. Many militias such as the
Islamic Army decided on killing some of them because they consider
prostitution to be a great sin and the punishment is
death.

Fundamental
Truth about Human Females
The
extract from the book written by Taisha Abelar "THE
SORCERERS' CROSSING" p. 51-55. This book in electronic form can be
found on this website (one of the last links):
"Clara
explained that we must start the recapitulation by first
focusing our attention on
our past sexual activity,(recapitulation
is taking the foreign energy out and moving your lost energy in, LM).
"Why do you have to begin
there?" I asked suspiciously.
"That's where the bulk of our energy is caught," Clara explained.
"That's why we must free those memories first!"
"I don't think my sexual encounters were all that important."
"It doesn't matter. You could have been staring up at the ceiling bored
to death, or seeing shooting stars or fireworks- someone still left his
energy inside you and walked off with a ton of yours."
I was totally put off by her statement. To go back to my sexual
experiences now seemed repugnant.
"It's bad enough," I said, "to relive my childhood memories, but I
won't hash up what happened with men."
Clara looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Besides," I argued, "you'll probably expect me to confide in you. But
really, Clara, I don't think what I did with men is anyone's business."
I thought I had made my point.
Clara resolutely shook her head and said: "Do you want those men you
had to continue feeding from your energy? Do you want those men to get
stronger as you get stronger? Do you want to be their source of energy
for the rest of your life? "No. I don't think you
understand the importance of the sexual act or the scope of the recapitulation."
"You're right, Clara. I don't understand the reason for your bizarre
request. And what's this business of men getting stronger because I'm
their source of energy? I'm nobody's source or provider. I promise you
that."
In the
authoritative voice of a teacher enlightening a neophyte, she explained
that women,
more so than men, are the true supporters of the social order, and that
to fulfill this role, they have been reared uniformly the world over to
be at the service of men."It makes no difference
whether women are bought right off the slave block, or they are courted
and loved," she stressed. "Their fundamental purpose
and fate is still the same: to nourish, shelter and serve men."
"That may be true in some cases," I said, "but I don't think you can
make such sweeping generalizations to include all women."
Clara disagreed vehemently.
"The
diabolical part of
women's servile position is that it doesn't appear to be merely a
social prescription," she said, "but a fundamental biological
imperative."
"Wait a minute, Clara," I protested. "How did you arrive at that?"
She
explained that every
species has a biological imperative to perpetuate itself, and that
nature has provided tools in order to ensure that the merging of female
and male energies takes place in the most efficient way. She said that
in the human realm, although the primary function of sexual intercourse
is procreation, it also has a secondary and covert function, which is
to ensure a continual flow of energy from women to men.
Clara put such a stress on the word 'men' that I had to ask, "Why do
you say it as if it were a one-way street? Isn't the sexual act an even
exchange of energy between male and female?"
"No,"
she said emphatically. "Men
leave specific energy lines inside the body of women. They are like
luminous tapeworms that move inside the womb, sipping up energy."
"That sounds positively sinister," I said, humoring her.
She continued her exposition in utter seriousness. "The energy lines are put
there for an even more sinister reason," she
said, ignoring my nervous laughter, "which is to ensure that a
steady supply of energy reaches the man who deposited them.
"Those
lines of energy, established through sexual intercourse, collect and
steal energy from the female body to benefit the male who left them
there."
As I listened, I felt my nervous smile turn into a snarl.
"Not that I accept for a minute what you're saying, Clara," I said,
"but just out of curiosity, how in the world did you arrive at such a
preposterous notion? Did someone tell you about this?"
"Yes, my teacher (a sorcerer) told me about it.
"At first, I didn't believe him either," she admitted, "but he also
taught me the art of
freedom, and that means that I learned to see the flow of energy.
"Now I know he was
accurate in his assessments, because I can see the worm-like
filaments in women's bodies for myself. You, for example, have a number
of them, all
of them still active."
"Let's say
that's true, Clara," I said uneasily.
"Just for the sake of argument, let me ask
you why should this be possible? Isn't this one-way energy flow unfair
to women?"
"The whole
world is unfair to women!" she exclaimed. "But that's not the point."
"What is the point, Clara? I know I'm missing it."
"Nature's
imperative is to perpetuate our species," she explained.
"In order to ensure that this continues to take place, women have to
carry an excessive burden at their basic energy level, and that means a
flow of energy that taxes women."
"But you still haven't explained why this should be so," I said,
already becoming
swayed by the force of her convictions.
"Women are
the foundation for perpetuating the human species,"
Clara replied.
"The bulk
of the energy comes
from them, not only to gestate, give birth and nourish their offspring,
but also for ensuring that the male plays his part in this whole
process."
Clara explained that ideally
this process ensures that a woman feeds her man energetically through the
filaments he left inside her body, so that the man becomes mysteriously dependent on
her at an ethereal level. This is expressed in the
overt behavior of the man returning to the same woman again and again to maintain his
source of sustenance.
That way, Clara said,
nature ensures that men, in addition to their immediate drive for
sexual gratification,
set up more permanent bonds with women.
"These
energy fibers left in women's wombs also become merged with the energy makeup of the offspring,
should conception take place," Clara
elaborated:
"It may be
the rudiments of
family ties, for the energy from the father merges with that of the
fetus, and enables the man to sense that the child is his own.
"These are
some of the facts
of life a girl's mother never tells her. Women are reared to be easily
seduced by men, without the slightest idea of the consequences of
sexual intercourse in terms of the energy drainage it produces in
them. This is my
point and this is what is not fair."
As I listened to Clara talk, I had to agree that some of what she said
made sense to me at a deep bodily level.
She urged me not just to agree or disagree with her, but to think this
through and evaluate what she had said in a courageous, unprejudiced
and intelligent manner.
"It's bad
enough that one man leaves energy lines inside a woman's body,"
Clara went on, "although
that is necessary for having offspring and ensuring their survival.
"But to have the energy lines of ten or twenty men inside her feeding
off her luminosity is more than anyone can bear. No wonder women can
never lift up their heads."
"Can a woman get rid of those lines?" I asked, more and
more convinced that there was some truth to what Clara was saying.
"A woman
carries those luminous worms for seven years,"
Clara said, "after
which
time they disappear or fade out. "But the wretched part is that when
the seven years are about to be up, the whole army
of worms, from the very first man a woman had to the very last one, all
become agitated at once so that the woman is driven to have sexual
intercourse again. Then all the worms spring to life stronger than ever
to feed off the woman's luminous energy for another seven years. It
really is a never-ending cycle."
"What if the woman is
celibate?" I asked. "Do the worms just die out?"
"Yes, if she can resist having sex for seven years. But it's nearly
impossible for a woman to remain celibate like that in our day and age,
unless she becomes a nun, or has money to support herself. And even
then she still would need a totally different rationale."
"Why is that, Clara?"
"Because not only is
it a biological imperative that women have sexual intercourse, but it
is also a social mandate."
Clara gave me then a most confusing and distressing example. She said
that
since we are unable to see the flow of energy, we may be needlessly
perpetuating patterns of behavior or emotional interpretations
associated with this
unseen flow of energy. For instance, for society to demand that women
marry or at least offer themselves to men is wrong, as it is wrong for
women to feel unfulfilled unless they have a man's semen inside them.
It is true that a man's energy lines give women purpose; make them
fulfill their biological destinies of feeding men and their offspring.
But human beings are intelligent enough to demand of themselves more
than merely the fulfillment of the reproduction imperative.
She said that, for example,
to evolve
is an equal if not a greater imperative than to reproduce;
and that, in this case, evolving
entails the awakening of women to their true role in the energetic
scheme of reproduction.
She then turned her argument to the personal level and said that I had
been reared, like every other woman, by a mother who regarded as her
primary function raising me to find a suitable husband so I would not
have the stigma of being a spinster. I
was really bred, like an animal, to have sex, no matter what my mother
chose to call it (Princess Diana said similar thing, LM).
"You, like
every other woman, have been tricked and forced into submission," Clara said. "And
the sad part is that you're trapped in this pattern, even if you don't
intend to procreate."
p. 40 :
"Intent is the power that upholds the universe," she said. "It is the
force that gives focus to everything. It makes the world happen."

War
Sexual Violence to Women
UN council urges action on
sexual violence in war
http://www.bigpond.com/news/world/content/20080620/2280744.asp
June 20, 2008 - 11:28AM

FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=The UN Security Council has called the sexual
violence against women a military tactic."
The UN Security Council has demanded that warring governments and
factions act to halt violence against women, saying rape was no longer
just a by-product of war, but a military tactic.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who chaired part of the
session, told the council the world had now recognised that sexual
violence during conflicts went beyond individual victims to affect
nations' security and stability.
Echoed by a string of speakers, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told
the 15-nation council the problem had "reached unspeakable and pandemic
proportions in some societies attempting to recover from conflict."
Major General Patrick Cammaert, a former UN peacekeeping commander,
told the meeting "It has probably become more dangerous to be a woman
than a soldier in an armed conflict."
Speakers identified former Yugoslavia, Sudan's Darfur region, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Liberia as conflict
regions where deliberate sexual violence had occurred on a mass scale.
UN officials have said the problem is currently worst in eastern Congo.
But a recent survey of 2,000 women and girls in Liberia showed 75 per
cent had been raped during the West African country's civil war.
A US-sponsored resolution adopted unanimously by the council called
sexual violence "a tactic of war to humiliate, dominate, instil fear
in, disperse and/or forcibly relocate civilian members of a community
or ethnic group."
It said the violence "can significantly exacerbate situations of armed
conflict and may impede the restoration of international peace and
security."
It called on parties in conflict to take immediate measures to protect
civilians from sexual violence, said such crimes should be excluded
from amnesty after conflicts, and warned that the council would
consider special measures against parties that commit them when
imposing or renewing sanctions.
Abuses by peacekeepers
The resolution also called on Mr Ban to submit a special report on the
issue next year and tighten procedures for stopping abuses by UN
peacekeepers, who have been accused of sexual offences in several
countries.
Mr Ban said he was "profoundly committed to a zero-tolerance policy"
and would strengthen disciplinary procedures by holding not just
individuals but their supervisors accountable.
The United States, council president for June, chose sexual violence as
the theme of the month's debate on a general issue. As well as Dr Rice,
several government ministers replaced ambassadors as their countries'
representatives.
Opening the debate, Dr Rice noted there had long been a dispute about
whether the theme was a security issue and hence something the Security
Council was authorised to address.
"I am proud that today we respond to that lingering question with a
resounding 'yes'," she said. "This world body now acknowledges that
sexual violence in conflict zones is indeed a security concern.
"We affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health
and safety of women but the economic and social stability of their
nations."
Dr Rice focused on Burma, where she said soldiers regularly raped women
and girls as young as 8 years old. Burma's envoy, Than Swe, later
called the allegations unfounded. "We categorically reject them," he
told the council.
Backers of the resolution had said that if the Security Council defined
sexual violence as a security matter the text would give peacekeepers
the high-level support they needed.
The resolution had been negotiated for weeks between council members
and with human rights and women's groups. Diplomats said China and
Russia, which both voted in favour, had watered down some language,
including on sanctions.
Chinese Deputy Ambassador Liu Zhenmin told the council it should focus
on preventing conflicts in the first place and that sexual violence
"should not be treated as a stand-alone issue, nor should attention be
given to its symptoms only."

Education Qld to survey sex-related incidents (Australia)
September 13, 2008 - 8:25AM
Source: ABC
Education Queensland will head a state-wide survey into sex-related
incidents at schools. The State Government has revealed it investigated
the alleged sexual assault of a seven-year-old girl by another student
at a country primary school. Last night Education Minister Rod Welford
announced a Brisbane primary school is also being investigated.
Mr Welford says the latest incident, involving three students in grade
two, happened last week but was only reported by the school yesterday.
"I have directed the head of my department to alert all principals
throughout the state of the procedures that are required to be followed
when incidents like this arise and to undertake a survey as to whether
there are any other incidents that need further investigation," he
said. The move has been strongly supported by Dr David Wood from the
child protection group Act for Kids. "I think that this is an
appropriate thing to do, I am shocked that
I have heard this happened a week ago and has only just been reported,
one would hope that there aren't other schools who are withholding this
sort of information," he said. "The perpetrators of this act should
really clearly be spoken to and checked to make sure that they're
actually not being exposed to sexual experiences with older people
either in their homes or elsewhere. "You've have certainly got to be
checking very carefully that they are not experimenting because that is
what they have been exposed to."
This
is one of the numerous ways children (especially girls) have been
mind-manipulated into prostitution for years, starting in
childhood.
It's happening all over the world.

Sex workers call for a fair deal
http://bigpondnews.com/articles/TopStories/2010/06/02/Sex_workers_call_for_a_fair_deal_468950.html
Sex workers across Australia are lobbying state governments on
International Whores Day for increased protection against
discrimination.
The Scarlet Alliance, a peak body representing the nation's sex
workers, is calling for amendments to existing legislation to cover the
industry's estimated 20,000 workers.
'Sex work is legal in all states and territories, sex workers are tax
payers, and we believe we deserve the same rights as everyone else,'
the alliance's CEO Janelle Fawkes told AAP on Wednesday, which sex
workers have designated International Whores Day.
'We are sisters, mothers, wives, brothers, sons.
'We pay our taxes, we provide a service to the community and we deserve the same rights.'
Ms Fawkes believes social attitudes have been slow to change, even though sex work is no longer illegal.
Sex workers will rally on Saturday in capital cities around the
country, including Sydney where hundreds are expected to protest at the
Opera House carrying red umbrellas.
NSW has the highest concentration of sex workers - about 8000 - yet its
anti-discrimination laws are inferior to the ACT's, Queensland's and
Tasmania's, Ms Fawkes says.
In those jurisdictions, legislation protects against discrimination based on legal sexual activity or occupation.
'The other states have fallen behind quite dramatically,' she said.
'It has been brought to the attention of the other states why this
needs to happen, it is very clear to them but unfortunately there
doesn't seem to be the political will to take the next step to change
the legislation.'
Sex workers are most commonly discriminated against when applying for
rental properties, bank loans and credit cards, according to the
alliance.
It is also prevalent in dealings with police and within the judicial
system, including in custody cases where women will often lose because
of the negative stereotypes associated with their jobs, Ms Fawkes says.
'This is unacceptable and sex workers will continue to demand an end to
discriminatory practices and policies which directly impact on our
livelihoods and lives,' she said.
'We will continue to demand the introduction of anti-discrimination protections in each state and territory.'

Prostitutes offer free sex
at Copenhagen
http://bigpondnews.com/articles/OddSpot/2009/12/06/Prostitutes_offer_free_sex_at_Copenhagen_402473.html
Prostitutes of
a Danish sex
workers association will offer their services for free to delegates of
the UN climate summit in Copenhagen.
Association official
Susanne Moeller
told AFP on Saturday the move is a protest against an anti-prostitution
initiative undertaken by Copenhagen city hall.
The city, host of the
December 7-18
UN climate summit, distributed postcards in Copenhagen's hotels that
said 'Be sustainable: Don't buy sex'. It also sent letters to hotel
managers inviting them to take measures to avoid prostitutes meeting
clients in their establishments.
The prostitutes, whose
work is not illegal in Denmark, promptly reacted to the move.
'All delegates who come
to Copenhagen
for the world climate summit will be able to use the postcards for
payment after making a request on our website,' Moeller, of the Danish
association for the defence of sex workers, said.
'We do not expect many
delegates (to
make use of the offer), but we want to protest what we consider
discrimination,' Moeller said, adding the offer is good for the
duration of the climate talks.
The Copenhagen summit
aims to craft an international climate accord to replace the Kyoto
protocol, which expires in 2012.

Prostitutes revive sale of
sex debate
http://www.bigpondnews.com/articles/Health/2009/12/12/Prostitutes_revive_sale_of_sex_debate_405089.html
Danish
streetwalkers' offer of
free services to UN climate negotiators has evoked little interest, but
an influx of prostitutes from eastern Europe has revived debate on a
law allowing the sale of sex.
With an estimated 30,000
visitors
from around the world due to visit Copenhagen during the UN climate
talks which continue until December 18, authorities have seen a flood
of sex workers descend on the city.
'We've observed an
increase in the
number of prostitutes in the streets of Copenhagen, in particular from
eastern Europe,' police spokesman Lars-Christian Borg told AFP, noting
that the world's oldest profession 'is not illegal in Denmark'.
Danish law enforcement
authorities
have beefed up security for the UN conference and will 'do our best to
maintain law and order in the red light districts and hunt down the
pimps', he warned, adding that procurement was illegal.
Copenhagen Mayor Ritt
Bjerregaard
had, prior to the opening of the climate conference, asked the city's
hotel owners to 'not facilitate contact between their guests and
prostitutes'.
She also sent along
postcards to the
hotels to be distributed to guests, emblazoned with the slogan: Be
Sustainable: Don't Buy Sex.
The move sparked the ire
of Danish
prostitutes: to protest against the campaign which it deemed
'discriminatory', the country's sex workers' association, SIO, has
since the start of the
conference offered the
services of its 85 members for free to delegates.
But the offer does not
seem to have tantalised conference-goers during the first week.
'We have received four
requests so
far but our offer still stands,' said Susanne Moeller, a former nurse
who became the head of SIO to defend the interests of sex workers, who
'must charge VAT and pay income tax' in Denmark.
She explained the lack
of delegates'
interest by the fact that conference-goers 'have to register on our
site, provide their identity and state that they are a conference
delegate if they want to benefit from our generosity'.
'That may have dissuaded
a fair amount of people.'
Seven Copenhagen hotels
have,
meanwhile, launched a campaign against prostitution, an initiative led
by Hotel Guldsmeden located on Helgolandsgade street in the city's red
light district.
'The scene has become
much rougher
and the prostitutes are getting younger and younger, some are just 16,
according to the police,' a Hotel Guldsmeden spokeswoman, Kirsten
Skovgaard, said.
A banner unfurled on one
building in the street reads: No More Trafficking, Drug-dealing, Abuse,
Fear.
Skovgaard said some
businesses and
people in the area 'have had enough of watching this horrible sex
trafficking beneath our windows'.
Denmark is the only
country in the
Nordic region to allow both the sale and purchase of sex, its Nordic
neighbours having outlawed the purchase of sex but not the sale in a
bid to strangle demand.
There are normally
nearly 6,000
prostitutes working in Denmark's clubs and streets, of whom about 2,500
are believed to be foreigners from eastern Europe and Africa.
The Danish prostitutes
are sometimes
students, employees or mothers who want to earn a little extra money on
the side by working in massage parlours or as escort girls, Moeller
said.
At Waterloo, one of
Copenhagen's most
well-known stripclubs, where champagne served by hostesses flows in
abundance every night, the climate conference has clearly had an effect.
'The effects are already
being felt,'
says the manager, Maria, adding that she expects 'more and more
clients' seeking a break and a bit of 'distraction'.

Brothel goes
green to beat the crisis
Saturday, October 17, 2009 » 05:44am
Stung by the economic crisis, a brothel in Berlin has leapt on the
'green' bandwagon and is offering discounts to clients who can prove
they arrived by public transport or bicycle - with some success.
'Everyone's a winner,' explained Regina Goetz, a former prostitute who
runs the 'Maison d'envie' (House of Desire) brothel in Berlin's
Prenzlauer Berg, a district in the former East Berlin, which is a
stronghold for the ecologist Green party.
'The environment is a topic on everyone's lips and it's pretty
difficult to park around here. So we came up with the idea of an 'eco
discount' of five euros ($A7.40) to anyone who leaves the car at home,'
Goetz told AFP.
'The crisis has slashed our turnover in half in the last year,' the
56-year-old told AFP over coffee and cakes, flanked by scantily clad
prostitutes.
But the green discounts have proved a roaring success and got business
back on track, she said.
Fifteen minutes in the brothel costs 25 euros ($A37) rather than 30
euros for environmentally-conscious punters, around 10 per cent of whom
have taken up the offer.
To qualify for the discount, 'clients who come by bike show their
helmet or their padlock keys,' she said. 'Others hand in their ticket
or monthly pass if they have come on the bus.'
The brothel itself is a model of discretion - only a small brass plaque
advertising 'the little sexy address' betrays the true purpose of the
building, housed in a block with a bike shop, a burger bar and a pub.
Clients pass through a courtyard scattered with rubbish dumps,
pushchairs, kids' bikes and buggies before arriving at a corridor where
a doormat emblazoned with a red heart indicates the hoped-for
destination.
'We have a really nice atmosphere here, the neighbours are great,' said
one of the prostitutes, a pretty blonde in her thirties with short hair
sporting fishnet tights and sexy red lacy undies under her turquoise
dressing-gown.
She said she had already welcomed several customers on the eco tariff,
like all her colleagues, about a dozen woman aged between 20 and 45,
the majority of whom work part-time.
One of them said she was a nurse secretly moonlighting as a prostitute.
Another said she was a dietary counsellor in a gym - 'but times are
hard'. A third said she was a housewife.
As for the clients, they come in all shapes and sizes, from all social
classes and all ages, right up to the 'doyen', who is 86 years old,
said Goetz.
All the employees of the 'Maison d'envie' wholeheartedly approve of the
eco tariff.
'Regina is full of good ideas,' said one.
The establishment also offers special 'weekend rates' with Jacuzzi
options and a 'two-for-one' rate.
For Goetz, the brothel is 'a business like any other' and prostitution
is a legal sector in Germany with around 400,000 employees.
'In these tight times, we are cutting costs. We've binned the tax
advisor, reduced the hours of the cleaning lady and I only buy low-cost
cleaning products,' she said.
And like any other head of industry, she is careful to appear bullish
on the sector's prospects.
'In a business like ours, there are always ups and downs. But we want
the recovery to come quickly. I check the stock market prices every
day,' she revealed."
Child sex tourism study
'blames Aussies'

Australians
make up the largest portion of foreign sex offenders against children
in Thailand, according to research that studied cases between 1995 and
2006.
He is
the
co-worker, relative and mate who awaits cheap flights to Southeast Asia
that the economic downturn has made all the more plentiful.
But
he is drawn to such tropical places not for the beaches, cheap drinks
and a brief escape from the rat race.
He is
the customer
in a growing global issue that sees over 1.8 million children as young
as eight years old being sold for sex - sometimes up to ten times a day
- until they're considered 'worthless' before they reach their 30th
birthday.
And
new studies reveal this man has more mates than ever who think and act
just like him.
Australians
make
up the largest portion of foreign sex offenders against children in
Thailand, according to research at John Hopkins University in Baltimore
that studied patterns of arrests and prosecutions between 1995 and
2006.
His
money is
fuelling a $US31.6 billion ($A36.5 billion) industry in trafficking in
what a recent report by a global network of groups against child sex
slavery concludes is a 'massive human rights violation that is
currently going largely unnoticed around the world'.
Bernadette
McMenamin, CEO of Child Wise Australia, says child sex trafficking
remains a hidden problem that most Australians have become complacent
about - even though a main root of the global crime is the Australian
offender.
'People
tell us,
'It happens overseas. Isn't that an issue we talked about years ago?'
But what we've found is that ... the supply and demand factors fuelling
child sex slavery have actually grown,' she told AAP.
'The
number of
children entering the trade has grown. Efforts to combat this problem
have not succeeded despite pouring money into overseas governments.'
A new
global
campaign called 'Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People,'
will be launched on Monday to help reverse the trend and bring the
issue back into the homes of the average Australian.
Being
run across
45 countries, the campaign aims to raise awareness, conduct a survey on
people's attitudes and lobby national governments.
In
February, Child
Wise will step up the campaign by backing stalled amendments to child
sex tourism laws in the federal parliament.
Rather
than seeing
authorities wait for child sex to occur before acting, the amendments
seek out preparatory offences: stopping sex offenders from travelling
overseas, buying flights and possessing child pornography.
'We've
waited long
enough,' Ms McMenamin says of the proposed changes. 'We're simply not
keeping up with travelling sex offenders.'
Only
small changes are required to save Asian girls from being sold into a
life of slavery, she says.
The
Body Shop has
already joined the Child Wise campaign by selling a hand cream that
directs profits to Cambodian outreach programs.
Such
programs can provide support for girls and keep them in school with
books, pens and bicycles.
It
may not seem
like a lot but the average child sex slave is sold for only a few
hundred dollars by a family or boyfriend in poverty desperate for cash,
she says.
In
Cambodia children are brought in from Vietnam or taken from village to
village, then off to Thailand.
All
these victims
suffer lifelong mental and physical damage. Some contract HIV/AIDS
while most find it hard to reintegrate into society after a decade of
such slavery.
Ms
McMenamin says most Australians view the price of petrol as a greater
concern than the welfare of foreign children.
'We
have increased awareness and there have been some arrests but overall
we're not putting a dent in the problem,' she says.
'We
need people to try and think beyond what's going on in their lives.'

Prostitution
in Ukraine
"Sexy Ukrainian Women
Looking For Love": The Fight Against Sex Tourism
Anna Hutsol, founder of
Ukranian feminist organization FEMEN
http://blog.kievukraine.info/2009_06_01_archive.html
KIEV, Ukraine -- Late last year, as Ukraine started getting seriously
hit by the financial crisis, a man in a faux-leather jacket stood on
Kiev’s main avenue, Khreschatik Boulevard, strapped into a
red-lettered billboard offering "Sexy Ukrainian Women Looking for
Love." Next to him on a small table was a folder of pictures of
potential "brides." Women walked past, averting their gazes. Anna
Hutsol, a young woman wearing long shorts and high-top sneakers,
emerged from the metro stop. She rolled her eyes at the sign before
heading to a nearby café.
"People think of Ukraine as this giant brothel," she said. "They
can’t tell you about any landmarks or monuments in Ukraine.
But
they can tell you that there are pretty girls in Kiev who wear next to
nothing when it’s summer, and that Kiev’s an easy
place to
find so-called love."
Hutsol, 24, has cropped, tangerine colored hair. She founded the
feminist organization FEMEN last spring to fight the culture of sex
tourism in Ukraine. FEMEN organizes its activism via VKontakte, a
Russian version of Facebook, and stages provocative protests that have
won press attention.
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1993, Russian mail-order brides
became a distressing cliché, but as Russia grew wealthy its
women were less reliant on foreign husbands. So foreigners looking for
an easy marriage turned to Russia’s neighbor, Ukraine.
Traveling
there was once a lengthy process involving embassies and visa fees, but
in 2005 the nation dropped visa requirements for citizens of the
European Union and the United States. Consequently, more than 20
million people visit Ukraine each year, and the capital, Kiev, is now a
popular tourist destination.
Unfortunately, one of Kiev’s main tourist attractions seems
to be
women. When the visa laws changed, Ukraine, once just a notorious
source of sex-trafficked women, now became a sex-industry destination
as well, a gateway from East to West. Explained one sex worker,
prostituted Ukrainian women who had worked in other Eastern bloc
countries such as the Czech Republic and Poland then came home. Child
pornography also grew more prevalent, since it was now easy to enter
this relatively poor country and exploit underage victims, especially
homeless children and orphans.
Prostitution is illegal in Ukraine and difficult to track. Official
police reports claim there are 12,000 prostitutes, but FEMEN believes
the numbers are much higher. If someone is caught soliciting, a nominal
fine is paid. No customers or johns are apprehended. In regional
cities, police contact the prostituted woman’s parents, a
shaming
technique intended to decrease the incidence of prostitution.
But brothels remain boldly unembarrassed. The website of Gia Escorts
proudly declares, "Ukraine is now the Sex Capital of Europe!
…Ukrainian women are more agreeable, dress more revealingly
and
are cheaper than Western women. Men from the West can get away with
saying and doing things they could never get away with [with] the women
in their native countries."
In July of last year, FEMEN organized 30 young women to stand in
Independence Square in Kiev carrying signs reading "Ukraine is not a
brothel" in several different languages. The most attention-getting
part of the protest was that the demonstrators were dressed
stereotypically as prostituted women, in tiny skirts, thighhigh
stockings and feather boas.
"The Ukrainian newspapers were angry, saying we were creating problems,
talking about something that didn’t exist," says Hutsol. "But
the
Western press [Reuters and AFP] actually looked at the problem for what
it was, and only then did Ukrainian papers follow."
The rise in sex tourism has also led to the growth of industries such
as child pornography and child prostitution. "I can see a direct
correlation between tourism and child prostitution," says Iryna
Konchenkova, head of the international nonprofit School of Equal
Opportunities in Ukraine. According to Konchenkova, 11 percent of
prostitutes are between the ages of 11 and 15, while 19 percent are
between 16 and 17: "So I would say 30 percent of prostitutes in Ukraine
are underage. …Street kids get attracted to this. They get
fed,
they get cleaned, they are warm; some think it’s one of the
better things that has happened to them." Konchenkova has had many
cases where children became upset when they were no longer wanted by
pimps: "A 14-year-old girl told me in an aggrieved voice that she was
considered too old to work in pornography anymore."
Konchenkova adds that the children’s values are a problem.
"When
you ask [these girls] where they see themselves in 10 years, they say a
nice house, a floor-length dress, an expensive car," she says. "They
see Western commercials of luxury life and they want it. At the same
time these girls get only threes [C’s] at school, so they
must
change either their intentions or their attitude towards money."
Women are drawn to accepting "dubious" proposals from traffickers by
the desire to make money, provide for families and see other countries,
says Katya Cherepakha, the social assistance coordinator at the
international women’s rights center, La Strada Ukraine. An
exacerbating factor is Ukraine’s relative poverty: The World
Bank-estimated average annual purchasing power of Ukrainians is $7,000
per person, compared to $46,000 in the U.S. Women are also misled by
lack of information about the true nature of trafficking and deceptive
examples of successful emigrants. "Traffickers are getting smarter,"
says Cherepakha. "They give a piece of true information—about
the
process of employment, for example—but all the rest of the
information is not true." Women who have a lack of familial support or
problems at home, such as domestic violence, are especially susceptible
to such offers.
In 11 years, La Strada’s helpline has received 38,500 phone
calls, 64 percent from people applying for work overseas and checking
on how safe a country is. But 4 percent are from people searching for
loved ones, and another 4 percent are from family members trying to get
help to trafficked relatives, ranging from paying for court cases to
getting them to an airport.
Hutsol wishes Ukrainian women would be more suspicious of little-known
men making promises of any sort: "My own friends think that if they
meet a foreigner they will have the perfect life. …But in
reality they meet men, mostly from Turkey, who sleep with them, promise
them the world and don’t even leave a phone number.
That’s
another problem with Ukraine having a reputation for beautiful,
available women: Sex tourism isn’t always solely about
prostitution."

women's rights organization, protest during their action "Ukraine is
not brothel " on Independence square in Kiev
http://blog.kievukraine.info/2009_06_01_archive.html
KIEV, Ukraine -- In the early summer evenings you see them individually
and in groups: foreign men, of all ages and nationalities -- ex-Soviet,
European, North American, Middle Eastern and African. They sit in the
outdoor cafes that adorn Kiev's winding central streets, or patrol
about the main Independence Square like guerrilla squads. At night they
pack the discos and restaurants and bars. Some of them study
and
work here. Others have come to take in the architecture, history and
museums of this breathtaking Eastern European capital, or are on their
way to a vacation in one of the picturesque outlying towns.
Many, however, have a less exalted purpose in mind: to meet women. And
the more the better.
It's called sex tourism, and the practitioners "sex pats" -- a play on
the word expat or expatriate. The phenomenon is all-too-common
throughout the world, including in South America, Asia and Africa.
Now it seems that it has arrived in the former Eastern Bloc with a
vengeance.
Riga, Prague and Krakow have been overrun by the planeload, aided by
budget airlines like Ireland's RyanAir. The men are lured by
perceptions that the pickings are easier than at home, whether because
of reported liberal attitudes, a possible preference for foreigners or
difficult economic circumstances among the local population. And that
thanks to their anonymity, they can behave as boorishly as they want.
Ukraine, where the women pride themselves on their beauty and
femininity, has become one of the most popular destinations. ("What
country has the most alluring women?" is a favorite and legitimate
conversation topic here -- pondered by men and women alike. Any answer
other than "Ukraine" usually elicits disappointment or even outrage.)
The stag parties that have blighted other Eastern European cities --
drunken, rowdy and often British hordes who accost locals and regularly
expose themselves -- thankfully have not arrived here. But a multitude
of other parties have.
For many, the purpose is straightforward enough: find a girlfriend or
even a wife. (Western Internet introduction and marriage sites, with
names like "Ukrainian Brides," are a worldwide business that rakes in
the millions, if not billions.) This often bleeds into a quest simply
for easy sex -- often among the marriage agencies, where men abuse the
service, trying to meet and bed as many women in their short stay here
as possible.
Unsurprisingly, prostitution has by all appearances metasized, and with
it a host of other ills. According to the International HIV/AIDS
Alliance in Ukraine, the country has the one of the highest HIV rates
in Europe, and for the first time last year, infections through sex
exceeded those from drug injection. Human trafficking for the sex trade
also remains a chronic tragedy, though no official figures exist to
pinpoint whether it is actually rising or remaining constant.
Anna Hutsol of the organization "FEMEN" wants to change all this. For a
year, she and her group of activists have carried out a series of
eye-catching demonstrations -- for example, parading around the city in
skimpy and provocative clothing to attract attention, and then handing
out fliers to expatriate men, informing them that, among other things,
prostitution is illegal in Ukraine.
"We are certain that the aim of your visit to our country is absolutely
decent," one flier says. "Unfortunately ... your compatriots come to
Ukraine to get easy sex using the fact that Ukraine girls are poor,
unprotected and naive."
FEMEN strives to add teeth to laws against prostitution. At the moment,
sex workers and pimps pay a a fine (although very small), while clients
are left alone. The organization would like to see sex tourism defined
in the legal code and clients punished as well, and possibly deported
from the country. Recent anti-prostitution legislation was introduced
at the beginning of the year, but so far has languished, Hutsol said.
Ultimately, FEMEN wants to change how all foreigners regard Ukrainian
women, who suffer from an association with the sex trade throughout
Europe, as well as how Ukrainian women view themselves.
"The basic problem is that we lack emancipation," Hutsol said. "Men
take care of us economically -- men provide everything. Very few women
see any kind of independent future."
On a recent Friday night, Hutsol and her cohorts conducted a major
action under Kiev's central monument. German electronic-music celebrity
DJ Hell provided the sounds for a mini rave, while dozens of college
students paraded in avant garde fashion from local designers. At the
end, a group of protesters, dressed only in bikinis, held up a banner
and shouted, "Ukraine is not a bordello!"
Many young women among the hundreds of onlookers supported FEMEN's
message that foreign men should also appreciate Ukrainian culture and
history, and that it was insulting when they spent their days simply
chasing introductions.
The majority of those questioned, however, said that the foreigners
were in general very respectful, and in many cases better behaved than
their own male population. Many said that they had foreign friends and
boyfriends, and that men would not come here if local women were not
themselves interested in meeting non-Ukrainians.
"We love you all very much," said Yana Pashchits, 19, a student, who
was participating in the fashion show. "We want you to come here."
Nevertheless, FEMEN's message was lost on some of the crowd.
Three Danish 30-year-old professionals happened upon the action, just
three hours after arriving in Kiev for a long-weekend. "This is what
it's all about," pointing to one of their number's T-shirt, which read,
bluntly, "I Love Ukrainian Girls," and staring at the half-dressed
beauties parading around him. However, when told what the demo was
actually for, and that they were in fact being interviewed for a
Western publication, they insisted that they had not come just to meet
women.
But Rasmus Anderson, a product manager, added, almost as an
afterthought: "You have to agree that there are some very pretty girls
here."

I
haven't read this book, don't know if it exists and can't work out the
meaning of the title. Everyone would make their own opinion on that.
There is a saying in Russia " Dog is a Human's friend", but also
another one "Female is a Human's Friend". For many men a
woman is worse than a dog and can't be considered a human! Here
is an interesting article: maybe all women need to go on sex strike and
more than just a week to have not physical, but more spiritually
oriented planet?

The
Kenyan
government's internal fighting has moved to the nation's bedrooms with
thousands of women embarking on a week-long sex strike.
It
is hoped the
boycott will put pressure on Kenyan leaders to make peace and focus on
the real issues such as poverty and corruption.
A
rift has developed between the country's Prime Minister Raila Odinga
and President Mwai Kibaki over government protocol.
But
members of the fragile coalition government say the strike is blackmail.
'Any
organisation or any group could carry out any activity to get what they
want,' a government spokesperson said.
Even
the Prime Minister's wife said she would 'definitely' join the strike.
The Women's Development
Organisation said they would also pay prostitutes to join their strike."
