In the last couple of lectures, we have been discussing prostitution. The one person that comes to my head everytime prostitution or porn are brought up, is the one and only…Heidi Fleiss. Heidi is doing something huge right now, and that is being the first woman to open the country’s first brothel serving female customer’s only!
The Stud Farm, is the name of this new “whore house” in Nevada. It is explained to be a $1.5 million dollar sexual fantasy land. I find this to be extremely interesting, because Heidi is really bringing Prostitution out and making it more mainstream than ever. I did some research on Heidi’s new project, and found her website http://www.heidifleiss.com/studfarm/ to have all the info on her new project, a store to buy merchandise (like t-shirts, sex toys and videos) and she even has a section where you can listen in on her wire taps with an undercover cop in 2003, before she was arrested. She also writes on her website about her deal with HBO filming a documentary on The Stud Farm. All of the controversy that she is creating, and the marketing she has done on herself and her product (of selling sex), is going to create a whole new target audience…WOMEN.
This type of “high class” prostitution is so much more accepted these days that this is the start of a whole new type of Pornography. What I mean by that, is woman are going to start being the audience targeted. Like I have said in previous posts of mine, women are rising up, making money and getting what they want-just as men have been doing for as long as I can remember. I don’t think people realize that the opening of the Stud Farm is just the beginning to the change of the Pornography industry.
