Prostitution is a profession since time immemorial when men with or without money got there desires fulfilled as their women cringed and coveted at homes.
I have always maintained that prostitution was never about sex, but about power. If I can buy you, I have power. The powerful one has been buying and ruling ever since, with or without the permission of the law. When ever I used to cross mumbai streets in the night, I saw women lined up on the roads, selling themselves. I went to Dubal and I saw the same situation. and then one day I happenned to see a man.. being picked not by a woman but another man...
It was like sex had become the prerogative of a man, either ways, after all its been a MAN'S WORLD, as the saying goes.....
I was always keen on delving into the minds of a woman or a man who actually sell themselves for money.. what would be the thought process. i mean how can some one just go and sell themselves.. what would be the circumstances or conditions which would force them to do that. Wouldn't it require lots of guts to actually sell one self or even murder some one or actually get into the dark side of life?
Then I used to think, why aren't men sold the same way as women? Is it that women don't indulge in power play or they don't have money to indulge in buying men for a night or are they too busy cleaning utensils and bringing up their children. Will a time come when there will be a place where women would enter, and series of men were displayed in front of her and she would choose to pick up a man! Will that be the end of the power of man and the beginning of the power of woman? will then we be entering in another world called the WOMAN'S WORLD?
On early tuesday morning my doubts were put to rest. As I was browsing through the times of India, I discovered a new name... HEIDE FLIESS.. I had never heard of her before.. until I understood that she happenned to be a high profile madame. some one who had the richest and famous clientele of arabs, actors, politicians- all men of course, on her list. She has made millions through this racket: she has also served a jail term for 21 months for running her sex racket.
I became very curious to know what would have made her get into this business as a single women.. I mean what would be her thought process.. what could be the back story that would force a woman to start a illegal business like this.. I mean don't we have some sort of a moral responsibility towards the society. Why couldn't she think of starting an ngo to help the needy people in Indian or Africa.
As I read further I came to know that she has announced the opening of a 'stud farm'- exclusively catering to the women client! And she already has 400 women ready to buy a membership. Her website had letters written in bold- EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR MEN....
In a way there was a smile on my face, a smile which showed and hinted at women power, liberation and finally coming out of the closet. A power which men would be intimidated with, a power which often is considered a taboo to talk about... I wonder how would our moral police react to if Heidi Fleiss had to open a branch of the stud farm in India!!! If they were ok with the fact of a woman picking up a man when it was openly displayed that all this while men have been picking up women.. How would they reach to this new empowerment of woman not just in rajya sabha but also in their bedrooms. Will this be the real empowerment or the real doom!!
I wondered would Heidi Fleiss be a hard core feminist.... hating men... I don't know but I would be very keen to make a documentary on her.....to know how was it like ruling the limited worlds of men!!
