San Francisco Woman Offers Red Light Education

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) – The world’s oldest profession is now being taught in the world’s newest school. On May 4, the Epicenter Gallery in San Francisco will become the site of the world’s first “Whore College,” to teach wannabe working girls and guys the ins and outs of prostitution.

The kinky college is the brainchild of prostitute and sex activist Carol Leigh and will offer classes in titillating topics like “Beauty Standards and Sex Work,” “Do-It- Yourself Web Cam” and “Safer Oral Sex Techniques.”

Leigh – who calls herself the “scarlet harlot” – claims there’s been a big demand for sex worker studies ever since the dot com bust of the late 1990s caused many Silicon Valley employees to become sex workers instead.

She figures the “Whore College” is the best way to lay down the facts to aspiring prostitutes.

Students can qualify for scholarships and will have a chance to earn a degree but don’t need to worry about passing tests because Leigh admits she’s “too liberal” to make the pupils pass a final.
