The Problem with Whores

Another whore is coming out with a book about her famous former clientele. This happens with a surprising regularity (Heidi Fleiss anyone?). I mean what kind of profession is whoring anyway? This time, a former Tommy LaSorda whore details her encounters.

Which brings me to the following question: Isn't there some sort of hooker code being broken here? Wouldn't the discussion of former or current clients be strictly forbidden? Shouldn't it be? In the name of maintaining some sort of semblance of whoring credibility? At least with the potential consumer?

Isn't a hooker's exposing, for lack of a better term, her list of clientele tantamount to a magician giving away the secrets to his or her tricks? Or like Barry Bonds giving up his roid supplier? Or a reporter giving up an anonymous source?

Is there no hooker code of conduct? Do code abiding whores ostrasize those who break the sacred vows of their field? Are membership priveledges revoked?

I guess when you're already engaged in what can at best be described as a fringe profession, it's difficult to do something to further damage your name and reputation, no?

But I digress, "Secrets of a Hollywood SuperMadam" on bookshelves now!!!!
