A three-months pregnant legal prostitute at the world famous Bunny Ranch brothel has vowed to continue working as a hooker up until the very day she delivers—and is blogging in real time about the experience. The courtesan, Summer Sebastian, is portraying her controversial decision as a woman's rights issue, saying she is defending "a woman's right to choose" to continue working at the Carson City, Nevada bordello while pregnant, even in the face of conventional societal condemnation and public shaming.
The 30 year-old Sebastian conceived her unplanned pregnancy with her longtime 70-year-old boyfriend, and only recently found out she was in the family-way after feeling sluggish and fatigued and visited a local doctor for tests. According to Sebastian, she was both surprised and delighted—and determined to keep the baby, and to keep on hooking.
"I knew two things: one was that I needed to continue building financial security for my family, and the second was to continue on my personal path to education. I have less than four years left to accomplish my Master’s degree in forensic pathology; in successfully becoming a medical examiner. Anyways, if society already looks down on me for being a working girl (even though legal), you can imagine what they will probably think of a pregnant working girl!"
Indeed; as Tracy Clark-Flory wrote on Vocativ.com, "In 2008, Alana Love began working at the Bunny Ranch while seven months pregnant and, just like Sebastian, she blogged about the experience. She landed on an episode of The Howard Stern Show, where she was asked to strip down to reveal her belly and swollen breasts; she was chastised by an outraged Tyra Banks ('That’s the only option for you to support your child?'); and she was targeted in shaming blog posts from lady mags ('Have a little pride!')."
"I want to make a statement that supports the right of a woman to choose to work as a prostitute while pregnant," Sebastian wrote. "And if I can make it any easier for the next working girl to make the choice to work while expecting, then more power to her!"
Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof said he was proud of Summer for taking a stand and being a trailblazer for future pregnant prostitutes.
"Summer is doing a wonderful service, not only for herself, but in making a declaration that all prego prosties can embrace, and that is, it's not only okay to be a legal prostitute, but it's okay to be a pregnant working prostitute."
"I’ve never been one to let myself be intimidated by what others thought! It actually never occurred to me that I would stop working at the Bunny Ranch while I was pregnant," wrote Summer in her first blog post. "I loved working here before, with my average sex drive, and I am lovin’ it even more now that I have all of these hormones pumping! And with that, I also knew I wanted to publicly, regularly and most of all proudly blog about my experience as a prego-working girl, from where I am today—14 weeks/three months—in my 2nd trimester, right up to the day I pop!
"Already I have gone from my usual 100 lbs to 122 lbs (still 5’ tall though—not growing that way—hee hee!). But adding this creative component to my parties with my clients has just made sex that much more exciting, and interesting.
"I have two weeks until my next appointment and I hope to learn the gender then! I’m so glad I have decided to share this beautiful gift and experience with all of you. Every week I will be adding updated photos and information, as soon as it becomes available to me!"
