Riffing off that. Someone was just now mooting the idea of in-house escorts as a Google perk. Well as I’ve said, a few years ago when Google started hiring non-STEM grads from top-flight colleges, disproportionately female, for customer- and public-facing phone jobs (I know a few! I’ve had sex in parallel with them back at Risley!) they were getting a trainable PR/political executive cohort aaand they were getting a status-appropriate wife pool for the programmers.

But if we’re talking about sex workers, not sex hobbyists, what Googler wants to do their fucking on-campus, really? (Don’t answer that.) So you’d pawn it off on third party facilitators, just like Google doesn’t hail you a taxi itself, you use Uber.

Like all those Korean girls offering GFE sessions from the apartment blocks at the edge of the valley here on 1- or 2-year rotations (as they say, the thing about prostitutes isn’t that they fuck you, it’s that they leave after) that you would find off myRedbook.

Which wasn’t quite Web 1.0 but certainly predates “apps”, because that’s what the “oldest” in “the oldest profession” refers to. Whenever you’re at, they were there first.
