Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Raise your hand if you're going to be googling provocateuse as soon as you aren't on a work computer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IT'S NOT PORN!!!!!

Okay, mine isn't.

If I only had a brain...

Why do you think we still differentiate this activity as white slavery?

I agree with your reaction, but the problem is that nobody created has a catchy phrase for "prostitution slavery".

Teppy Slavery, perhaps?

I don't vanity google for me, since I don't really want to be found.

The last time the subject of vanity Googling came up on the board I searched for myself. I found out how unfortunate it is that there is only one Internet, not conveniently separated personal and business Internets. The third hit for me was a magazine article in which the author discussed my research on the dangers of alcohol abuse. The fourth hit pulled up several pictures of me, very drunk, at a high school reunion. Cruel juxtaposition is the way of the Google.

That's really unfortunate. And hilarious.

You can run, but you can't always hide.

If you do an image search on the term provocateuse, there is one picture in the first 100 that's not from one of my sites. Huh.

What is even happening?

I agree with your reaction, but the problem is that nobody created has a catchy phrase for "prostitution slavery".
I don't think it's ever occured to me, before. It didn't even ping me when I read it here. It was when I read the article itself that I got to thinking about it. I googled it after I made that comment. A wikipedia article used the term sexual slavery as a synonym. Since slaves always have been vulnerable to rape, I don't know what I think about that term, yet.

Just look at it as following the maxim "write what you know," Rick.
