I’ve Seen My Share of Spitzers: The View From an Escort Service
Well, here is one male reader who is not enamored with power, but with his one and only wife of 17 years. Ruth, you can believe in “romance, intimacy, equality between the sexes and monogamy.” It is what is right, and fulfilling. I count myself richer than any of those clients you describe, not because I have their money, but because I am blessed with a spouse who supports me, is my partner in all endeavors – including raising our children, challenges me to be better than I am, reminds me of my moral duties as a man and father, helps me keep my values in perspective, and shares in some very satisfying intimacy. She and I complete each other like pieces of a puzzle. That’s worth more than all the power and material wealth in the world.
It is about Spitzer cheating on his wife, as well as breaking the law. If we as a society would stop trying to obfuscate the behavior of such men as Spitzer, and held them and ourselves to the highest ethical standards, we would all be better off.
