When the weather’s bad (either meteorologically or economically), people turn more readily to “indoor sports” (and I don’t mean Wii, though October video game sales were indeed up 18% year over year). At Jimmyjane, the design-centric sexual accessories brand I launched in 2005, we’re seeing strong evidence of this — 2008 online sales will double last year’s figures, and products emphasizing connection have been particularly popular.
Meanwhile, according to CNBC, the high-end escort business is “thriving”, even in this down economy. There’s a new trend on the rise in that market — the “GFE”. The “Girlfriend Experience” includes talking, cuddling, foreplay and — contrary to what we all learned from “Pretty Woman” — kissing. The GFE is taking over where the “PSE” or “Porn Star Experience” used to reign. Apparently, even Johns are seeking connection (albeit a fabricated one).

NEW YORK — The prostitute at the center of the salacious scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and generated national headlines is going to dish on her life as a pricey escort. ABC says Ashley Alexandra Dupre sat down with Diane Sawyer on the program “20/20.”
Dupre reveals how an “upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience.”
Spitzer resigned March 12 after it was disclosed he had used Emperors Club VIP. Dupre worked for the escort service.
