NPR on Homeless Male Prostitutes

[FrancoDiSantisxxx]

Below are some links provided by Aaron Lawrence elsewhere on a two--part series that ran on NPR about homeless male

street prostitutes in NYC.

The second link provides a summary. Mr. Lawrence can be reached at aaron@aaronlawrence.com and his website is, of course, http://www.aaronlawrence.com

OK I understand that I'm old and slow. Though the above two links look the same to me I tried both, hey I am bored, and could not find the feature. Does someone know of a direct link

Links

 

You may try the usual suggestions, such as clearing your cache, etc. The first link has Real Audio and other features which may take it long to load or which have plug-ins that your browser may not support, particular for AOL users or for users with an older modem or with a computer with less ram. The second link is a summary without the "bells and whistles."

 

Unfortunately, I am the wrong person to make any further usefull suggestions on computer related issues. Perhaps others here may offer more productive suggestions.

This may be far off from the original posting. I miss Aaron Lawrence's articles here, and this time was my first time to enter his website. Does he have financial connections with Cobra Videos? If so, it is quite surprising that he seemed to have taken barebacking in a stride.

 

This is taken from his website:

 

"Austin's Beach Buddies

August 31

 

The Cobra Video releases are

winding down, which means their

hottest videos are now being

released on this site. Austin's

Beach Buddies is, in my humble

opinion, the best video of the seven

so far. It has hot boys. It has

barebacking. It has cum all over

them."

For what it's worth, Huey, I can't make these links work either.

:-(

[+ deej]

For what it's worth, they don't work for me either. (And yes, they're the same...)

 

Unless the story is buried somewhere inside a story about attacking Iraq, there's not much "there" there.

Alexander you might be slightly off base. The thread is about an apparent article informing of the plight of homeless male prostitues. I really don't see the connection between that and a Cobra Video release

Franco doesnt seem to be working for any of us. Are you sure the hyperlink is right. I know if two moderators can't get it to work I sure never will. HUGS Chuck

Links

 

I got the links directly from Mr. Lawrence. When he wrote me back (after I advised him I had posted here), I wrote him back tonight with the URL to this thread and asked for his help as I also could not locate the original piece while searching on NPR. I expect he will post directly on here, but if I hear from him first, I will provide what information he did.

 

My search came up with this OTHER article from the achives of the NPR station in New York City, but this is about the Johns, not the prostitutes:

 

http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/episodes/07162002

 

I believe what happened is that the link Mr. Lawrence provided to fellow escorts in a different forum was to the main page, and had you clicked on it that day, as for example on this site, you would get TODAY's NEWEST reviews, as opposed to one of say Rick Munroe that ran on August 30, 2002.

 

However, here are some interesting links which I promise DO work:

 

San Francisco/Bay Area1995 - http://www.bayswan.org/homeless.html and also http://www.bayswan.org/stats.html

 

Vancouver/BC - 1999 - http://www.walnet.org/csis/groups/swav/johnschool/fictionfact.html

 

San Francisco 1997 - http://www.caps.ucsf.edu/toolbox/Riskprost.html

 

1998 - http://www.virtualcity.com/youthsuicide/street.htm

 

This last link is a bibliography of a selection of abstracts, muchof which are written very academically and, therefore, are of course, exceedinly dry. However, there is some interesting reading among them. The full source material would probably have to be found in the specific journal, many of which can be obtained through interlibrary loan for a small fee, your research librarian or the library at your nearest college or university should be able to assist in obtaining reprints or copies.

I believe, but cannot say for certain, that Mr. Lawrence has taken a position in opposition to barebacking. I am sure he can and will speak on his own behalf. I do know that he and his related or partnership production company (and I do not recall it being called COBRA), has released a series (four volumes)of pornographic tapes featuring young models from Eastern Europe or perhaps all from Russia. Again, this is not my area of interest sexually, but I do know the tapes are out there and available for sale.

He was kind enough to write me back with the corrected link, which I had simply copied and pasted from his original post in error. My regrets. I hope everyone is able to reach both of these. It is a very interesting piece. Again, the top link has audio and the bottom one is just the summary.

The WNYC stories

 

Thanks for the links. Wow, what sad stories. I was so blessed to be raised by a supportive family. I can't imagine what life is like for those kids.
