"Male prostitutes from Napa?" Possibly, but read "Special Operations Team, Gang Unit and Narcotic Investigations Unit worked together targeting prostitutes as well as the prospective clients." (and the pimps).
1. providing sex acts for money or valuables; 2. offering to trade sex acts for money; 3. offering money for sex acts.
"Another women's issue, prostitution. I do not understand why prostitution is illegal. Why should prostitution be illegal. Selling is legal. "Bleep" is legal. Why isn't selling "bleep" legal? You know, why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away. I can't follow the logic on that at all. Of all the things you can do to a person, giving someone an orgasm is hardly the worst thing in the world. In the army they give you a medal for spraying napalm on people. Civilian life, you go to jail for giving someone an orgasm. Maybe I'm not supposed to understand it." George Carlin
Does George Carlin still perform, or is he retired?
By the way, it is much better to see it and hear it rather than read it. http://youtu.be/73hnG_JfJ_k
