And on a lighter note==++Prostitution classes being offered in Spain.

Coming to America any time soon?

The Sex Professionals Association in Spain, or Aprosex, is a service-oriented organization looking to defend the rights of sex workers and ensure solidarity and safety within the community, and this week, they're offering their first course on becoming a sex worker. The four-hour intensive will be run by a clinical psychologist, a sex therapist, and a veteran prostitute. It will cover everything from the drawbacks of the profession, stigmas and psychological consequences of the trade, sexual health, financial planning, marketing, and security.

Conxa Borrell, the president of Aprosex, spoke of the high number of women who are brought to Spain each year to enter an industry where they don't know their rights or how to get ahead. "Women are fed up with being treated like submissive slaves, humiliated, and raped. They are entering the profession at different ages, from 18 and 23 to over 50," Borrell stated. This is not the first prostitution school to be offered in Spain, but it is the first to market itself as a practical crash course for the wisdom-seeking and not merely a means to decrease unemployment. It's not all brass tacks and policies, though: Aprosex will still talk about how to give an amazing blowjob.
