...one of the "boys" it turns out is a girl with a short haircut.

"Erica"

Whoever the idiot is that is doing this they probably cannot tell boys from girls. Or, maybe the victims are targets of opportunity and the boys take more risks, I don't know.

I still bet that the disappearances are connected and that it is a serial killer. Word needs to get out to the youngsters to travel in small groups and that "macho" can get you killed.

BTW,

Peanuts, you have to be pretty BAD to get bBoy to censor you. Better watch it.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

One can find something about the theme of modern white eunuchs in harems also in:

although it seems to be about Central Asia (ex-USSR).

I, myself also think it is possible, although cannot be sure, of course. The background is reallistic.

This is a different matter, but it might help frame this discussion.

New Orleans has a reputation for child prostitution. I never knew how to judge this claim, even though I lived in the city for twelve years.

Although I worked in the courts and my wife taught school in the Vieux Carre, I wasn't really aware of any prostitution, though that must be an aspect of life in New Orleans. However, I read a newspaper report two or three years ago of a study done by an academic sociologist that indicated hundreds of children are involved in prostitution. This seems to involve women and men in their early to mid teens.

The article revealed that the police thought they encountered only a few cases (perhaps twenty) each year of child prostitution. Everyone seemed dumbstruck by the claims that the sociologist made.

Intuitively, I know that the sociologist may be quite accurate in his findings. LIfe isn't always what it seems on the surface, but I don't know for a fact that any child prostitution exists in the city. But then I don't know first hand that adult prostitution exists!

Yet, of course, it does. A former mayor of Baton Rouge died during the last decade from a drug overdose while he was with a prostitute at a hotel in New Orleans.



By the way, a long time ago, I realized that, if I have had a sexual fantasy, somebody else has had the actual experience.
