The undercurrent seems pragmatic, reality & choice based rather than a morality play with a clientele that was more Eyes Wide Shut than Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, without the moral dilemmas which perplexed Tom and Nicole in Eyes Wide Shut, although Gregos Loft Parties eventually came to an end when Grego found religion and no longer the fulfillment he sought in this lifestyle.

SEX SCANDALS: Consensual Sex Work vs. Victims of Human Trafficking
Fast forward a few years later and we find a focus on Sex Scandals, harassment, raids and arrests on high end escorts and madams. Upon closer examination, in retrospect, one has to wonder whether this was part of an intelligence gathering effort by the intelligence community in the United States. While in some cases it may involve the local police, the directive goes straight up to the federal level at the FBI, IRS. It is important that we not demonize local law enforcement for merely following orders and enforcing the law as it exists. Police men and women, like teachers and other municipal workers, enforce the law and operate at pleasure and the directive of a higher authority. Police men and women are people like you and me, who if they do not follow order risk their livelihood. Notably, however, Eliot Spitzer's private affairs may not have gained public exposure if he intelligence community was not on a heightened level of alert for suspect activity post 9/11.
Consider first that high end sex workers, most often are not victims of human trafficking but rather work consensually. Whether they operate independently or through their brokers or agents, most often they cater to and service an elite, upscale and affluent clientele. As a result of the intimacy of their conduct and often strict verification procedures, certain folks usually come into possession of the dirty secrets and personal information of some of the most affluent, successful, powerful and influential people in society. High end sex workers separate and apart from victims of human trafficking, work of their own free will and volition. Sex Traffickers pose much more difficult targets for local, national and international law enforcement.
Crusades against escorts and madams operating at the upper echelons of American Society have little or nothing to do with preserving the safety and security of women or cracking down on human trafficking, even if they give the appearance of such. It is but an illusion and deception perpetrated on the American public. In short, Sex Scandals and busts of prostitutes of this kind are never really about what they claim to be. By targeting the low hanging fruit so to speak, the Police State gets to go on a fishing expedition, gathering information about the affluent, powerful and influential for use at a later time. Material gathered might be of use at a later time to persuade, cajole and perhaps even blackmail influential people who might otherwise be unwilling to play ball and cooperate with an overall agenda which might be against theirs or society’s interests.
LEGALIZATION OF PROSTITUTION?--Guide to Utilization of Sex Workers & Avoiding Victims of Human Trafficking
In my opinion, legalization of prostitution, at least in the manner that it has been discussed is not necessarily the answer. Government involvement is unnecessary in consensual transactional romantic encounters, whether they involve companionship or even sex. Government efforts should focus its efforts instead, nationally and internationally, on breaking up and prosecuting human trafficking rings and not high end escort services, madams or independent escorts who are often models, actresses and students who choose this activity as a means to supplement their income. Patrons of sex workers should likewise consider hiring only women who work independently, with reputable escort services or agents, brokers or madams that compensate women fairly allowing them to keep a majority of their earnings minus a brokerage fee for their networking the transaction. Once we recognize and accept that in a free market system that transactional romantic encounters are inevitable, they ought to be decriminalized and the right for parties to contract privately be respected. Consumers should be educated about the proper etiquette in the utilization of sex workers and the avoidance of patronizing prostitutes enslaved via human trafficking. One should do all that is possible to hire women who speak the native language, appear independent, secure, clean and do not otherwise appear to be the victims of human trafficking. This should be relatively easy for most reasonable people to determine even in the absence of a guide.
As we look back from the position of December 2008, with the American economy in crisis from the sub prime mortgage meltdown, the financial industry bailout and then the subsequent exposure of Bernie Madoff’s $50 Billion Scam one has to wonder who and what end was served by Governor Eliot Spitzer’s removal from office.
The series of arrests of escorts and madams leading ultimately to the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's doorstep seem at somewhat curious if not suspect. Was Eliot Spitzer targeted by powerful forces in our society? Discrediting The Sheriff Of Wall Street was one way to disarm their greatest critic but could it have also been an effort to thwart more significant exposure and to control the economic fallout that may have impacted some prominent people and institutions in a profound way? Consider the recent headline on The Huffington Post leading to a story on Bloomberg: FBI AGENT: FINANCIAL CRIMES NOW POSE 'THE GREATEST THREAT' Turns out that Eliot Spitzer was right all along. Imagine the Eliot Spitzer’s political position today without his private contractual transactions with a high end sex worker. Spitzer was elected by a substantial margin with the support of 69% of New York voters on Election Day in 2006, a truth crusader who was not beholden to anyone but the voters, one who scared the hell out of some of the most deeply corrupt in the financial and business community. In many ways, Spitzer was like a bull in a china shop. Society can handle political crusaders who use flamboyant and challenging language in a campaign but who once elected lapse into a more cooperative working tone with society’s power brokers. Eliot Spitzer’s strength was in fact his greatest weakness. Eliot Spitzer was screwed largely because power feared him and did not trust that Spitzer would act diplomatically. In removing Spitzer, an element of the status quo was kept in place and perhaps some deeply corrupt people get to hold on to their bounty. Contrast that with the tenure of Bush & Cheney, what has been done to the Constitution, the Justice Department, the Nation’s Treasury, their conduct of the War overseas. While they were allowed to complete their time in office worth hundreds of millions more than when they came in and that Eliot Spitzer, who was right about Wall Street, had to resign because he paid a high end call girl for private contractual sexual encounters, if nothing else is clear, some believe that there was a second coup d’état in the time period of 2000-2008.
