This might end up becoming a national scam. There’s so much negative publicity surrounding anything the police do anymore, it’s time for us to salute the good things they do. Police in Ohio bust a sex ring, involving a 44-year-old woman and possibly her mother. No shots fired. No one hurt. [How the scam worked](http://www.theonion.com/article/housewife-charged-in-sex-for-security-scam-1773) Imagine the woman, demanding a thousand dollar ring before she’d have sex with the man. yes, I know… ---

In non-police parlance, it’s usually referred to as tittyfucking. ---

Good Lord - My older sister is now a criminal! It used to be SOP (anybody know that one?) for women to view marriage as a meal ticket. Sis was the “Pretty Girl” all her life, actually going to a college town for her “MRS Degree”, as the expression went. She lived on Jello and vitamin pills to keep thin. She did find the “big, strong man” to protect and provide. She has never worked a day in her life. Then, 30 years later, she noticed what everybody else had noticed about him - he was a control freak who liked to beat/kill people. So are we now to the point that “Traditional Marriage” (he works, she is “housewife”" and “mother” until she becomes “grandmother”, then “dead”) is now criminal? Sometimes, I’m happy I’m not going to live long enough to see how things work out. This trend, I’d love to see play out. ‘You relied on your husband for material support! - You’re under arrest!’ 50 years ago, the wife working outside the house was proof that husband was too poor to feed his family. Then it became acceptable (the obscene inflation in real estate was first caused by 2-income couples out-bidding “traditional” couples). Now it is going to be required by law! LOVE IT!!! ---

You know the linked article is humor right? The Onion is a fake satirical newspaper. This is an old joke, but if a guy marries and provides fully for a woman JUST for sex I don’t have much sympathy. You just want a flesh and blood sex toy hire a hooker. ---

I think it’s time to come forward. You see, I’ve been a victim of a sex scam like that for many years. I’ve thought of seeking help, but the shame, the shame of it all, it’s just too difficult to talk about. It started easily enough when we were first dating, a dinner here and there, some trinkets for her birthday, but before I knew it she was taking me for cars and houses, and her favorite, jewelry, gold, diamonds, emeralds. It just got worse and worse over time, I have to stop, this is just too emotional… ---
