Legalized Sex Work
The Morning Show with Bill and Laura.
Bill: With the passage of the Sex Work Act, Prostitution, now known as Sex Work, is a legal and protected profession in the United States. The act mandates licensing for all persons engaged in providing sexual services as well as training/id cards for all patrons of these services. Brothels will be licensed and inspected. Police will be retrained to understand the difference between a legal sex worker and a trafficked person.
Laura: The issue that allowed this controversial bill be passed was informed consent. One of the major requirements of the law is that all parties must document their consent. Informed consent opens up a world of possibilities.
Bill: What sort of possibilities, Laura?
Laura: The proponents of this bill suggest that people who are sexually active get their license even if they don't anticipate using it. Married women could be licensed and prepared to subsidize their income if they needed extra funds due to emergency situations.
Bill: Are you getting your license, Laura?
Laura: Well, that's a private matter. If you want to know if a person is available as a sex worker, just ask 'Are you working?'
Bill: I still think that will get my face slapped. Either by the woman or my wife.
Laura: Unless she's working...
Jim grinned at his 39-year-old wife, Mary. The mother of three still didn't look her age. He turned off the TV. "You ought to get your license."
"What?" Mary threw a pillow across the room at her husband.
"Sure, then you could quit your job with that crap store and keep us in high style." Jim laughed.
"You'd be OK with me as a sex worker?" Mary walked to where Jim was slouched on the couch and dropped a knee between his legs with enough speed and accuracy to make him flinch. "Do you
want
me to be a sex worker? Use my ass to put food on the table for you and the kids?"
Jim slapped her denim clad butt with a sharp smack. "I'm just kidding. I don't want you taking a bunch of random cocks."
"Why? Do you think some random cock is going to take me away from you and our kids? These are guys that need to pay to get laid." Mary looked in the mirror. She was almost 40 though she didn't really look her age. But she did look like she'd had three kids and never quite lost the baby fat. And her boobs were petite. "I probably couldn't get any hits on the app anyway."
"I'd pick you." Jim didn't believe his wife of nearly twenty years would open herself up to let strangers touch her, and the thought disturbed him when his cock twitched.
"You'd have to get a client card. All clients must be registered and tested. It's tracked in the app." Mary pulled her hair loose and shook it out. She still dyed it dark pink and purple. She stripped off her outer shirt and looked at herself in the mirror with her Five Finger Death Punch wife beater clinging to her figure. She twisted back and forth and considered all the extra lumps. Would guys want to pay for her favors? She looked back at Jim. "I think I will. Thanks for the idea."
"Well, I don't like it." She had to be teasing him for mentioning the sex worker license. But she'd been researching the subject. Was she interested? "You haven't applied for a license already, have you?"
"Not yet." She kissed him. "But I might."
She led him into the bedroom.

A week later Mary breezed into the kitchen and dropped her keys on the table. "I picked up my license on the way home from work."
Jim stuck his head out of the laundry room. "What? What license?"
"The sex worker license. We talked about it."
"No. I thought you were teasing me." Jim's temper usually got the better of him but when he looked at his wife's determined face he backed down. She just got the license. That doesn't mean she'd be taking clients. Lots of women were getting licensed as a way to tease their husbands.
Mary was the love of his life. They had three kids, and she looked like she'd had three kids. Two of them were teenagers and their little girl was going into first grade. Mary hated her job, but they needed the money to supplement his disability payments.
"I don't want you to get fucked by other guys," he whispered so the kids couldn't hear. "That's bullshit."
"Yeah, well I'm tired of getting fucked dry at work." Mary kicked the table. "Besides I need to set up a site on the app. Do you want to help? I need photos."
Jim's face turned hot, bright red. "What kind of photos?"
"Advertising photos." Mary peeled out of the top layer of clothes until she got to her tee shirt and bra. "I want to show off my tattoos."
"Oh..." Jim groaned. Her tattoos weren't too bad, except for the chest piece on top of her breasts. She could still be covered. "OK but you're not showing everything to the world."
"No, I don't want to get too explicit. Do you want to see what other people are doing?"
Jim's eyes flashed open. "Wait how many people are on this app?"
"In our area... 675 as of this afternoon. And 12,293 clients."
Jim and Mary bent over the phone and scrolled through the listings. They were marked as available for men only, women only, couples along with sex preferences and gender. The client list for women available for men was the longest at 506 workers.
Jim shot several bedroom shots of Mary with and without her bra in just a pair of lace boy short panties. She covered her nipples and displayed her back, arm and chest tattoos. Jim loved her tattoos, especially the dragon with its long green wings wrapping around her nipples and flames shooting from its nostrils onto her belly. He sighed when he sent the cropped photos to her phone. If she turned on the app someone was going to see her hot dragon.
"How can I see how your site looks on the phone?"
"Download the app and input your client number."
"I don't have a client number. Why do I need a client number?" Jim grumped.
"Because no one gets to see the sex worker listings unless they have been vetted, logged and trained."
"Trained?" Jim almost laughed. "I'm pretty sure I know what to do."
"Training teaches you the law and the responsibilities of the client. You can take the test online and get your client number. They can validate you through the camera on your phone."
"Jeezus. That's a little intrusive." Jim shuddered.
"The business is intrusive too, you might say." Mary arched an eyebrow at him.
"You're not really going to do this? Why would you?" Jim pleaded.
"I don't know." Mary looked at her husband. "Mom had to when we were young. My father died and there was no money. She worked at the diner but rent and fuel oil sometimes got paid by the landlord. And he expected sex for his help."
