This text had to be written for a bunch of lesbian.

The Course is $150 and we are at the POWER AND CONTROL section.
This is from the section:
Power and Control
Some people feel they must control others and have difficulty sharing power for fear of being overpowered.
Some people believe that only one person in any kind of relationship can have control. They fear that if they are not the one with the power they will somehow be “less than” the other person. They believe that there is not enough power to share with another person. They might believe that another person can give or take away their “power.”
Prostitution is about power.
Prostitution is a form of male violence against women.
Prostitution, pornography, and other forms of commercial sex are a multibillion dollar industry. They enrich a small minority of predators, while the larger community is left to pay for the damage.
People used in the sex industry often need medical care as a result of the ever-present violence. They may need treatment for infectious diseases, including AIDS. Survivors frequently need mental health care for post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic episodes and suicide attempts. About a third end up chronically disabled and on Social Security.
The sex trade plays an active role in promoting alcohol and drug problems. Pimps also use prostituted women in forgery and credit card fraud. The community must pay for chemical dependency treatment, insurance costs and incarceration.
Power and Control, cont.
The sex industry targets young people coming out of abusive homes who are emotionally needy, and have no real idea of what a normal love relationship looks like. The five genetic needs we talked about previously, especially Love and Belonging, are completely lacking for these young people.
One may become involved with a "boyfriend" who initially treats her better than she has ever been treated before.
The boyfriend gradually becomes extremely controlling, and eventually violent.
He convinces her to engage in commercial sex in terms of his pressing need for money, and "If you love me, you will do this." He quickly transitions from "just this once" into "You are just a whore, my whore!" and requiring daily prostitution.
He continues controlling the victim with alternating emotional manipulation and explosive violence, while living on her earnings, for as long as she lasts.
Leaving this kind of relationship is extremely difficult and can be very dangerous. There are many programs set up to help victims of the sex industry. Every State provides services to help people caught up in this vicious cycle to get out safely.
Locally, in Clark County, Nevada, contact Help of Southern Nevada at 702 369-HELP or http://www.helpsonv.org for information about a program that could be appropriate for you if you feel that this is what you need.
