CARSON CITY, NV—Despite the fact that Gov. Steve Sisolak has ordered all of Nevada's legal brothels closed, licensed sex worker Alice Little, who has been working at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch legal brothel, is offering an incentivizing 50% discount on her intimate services to individuals that donate blood during the current coronavirus crisis, once her brothel reopens.
The devastating COVID-19 pandemic has caused a serious blood shortage due to massive blood drive cancellations, so the sex worker is encouraging eligible donors to make an appointment with the American Red Cross to donate blood and help save lives.
“Now is the time for every American to stand up and do our part, in any way we can, to help each other through this catastrophe,” Little said. “I want my customers to know that their sacrifices and gestures of goodwill during these trying times will be recognized by me.
“Any guest that shows me their Red Cross blood donation sticker throughout 2020 will receive a half-price discount on my services,” Little said.
The legal prostitute said that she decided to offer the discount because current U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommendations to establishments that accept blood donations prevent individuals who exchange sex for money from donating blood.
“Legal Nevada prostitutes are tested regularly for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV,” Little said. “Despite this fact, FDA recommendations and the stigma surrounding our profession prohibit sex workers from donating blood.
“Even though sex workers like me are restricted from donating blood, we can still take action to motivate and reward the wonderful and selfless people that can help others by giving blood,” Little said.
“When the Bunny Ranch and other legal brothels reopen, I am determined to repay these amazing people for stepping up in times of need,” Little said. “Blood donors deserve to have the time of their lives when this pandemic ends, and I’m going to give it to them.”
Since the early 1970s, Nevada has been the only state in the U.S. to legalize prostitution in the form of licensed and regulated brothels. Last week, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak ordered all nonessential businesses in the state to shut down for thirty days due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His order specifically named brothels among these nonessential businesses.
While wary at first about the brothel closures, Little understands that social distancing is a necessary temporary measure to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
“Intimate touch and physical and emotional connection is literally my business,” Little said. “I’m understandably distraught over the temporary brothel closures because I’m so passionate about sex work and the joy and comfort in brings to so many people.”
Little is optimistic about society’s ability to defeat the virus and believes Nevada’s sex industry will thrive in the future.
“We as a society will triumphantly overcome the coronavirus,” Little said. “When we do, Nevada’s legal sex workers will play an integral part in the celebration of life, love, and togetherness that is certain to follow this calamity.”
