Nevada's Legal Brothels
Air Force Amy
"Air Force Amy" is a highly decorated disabled veteran of the USAF. She finished out her military career with the USAF at Nellis Air Force Base just North of Las Vegas, Nevada with an Honorable Discharge in 1990 and she immediately launched her new career as a legal courtesan at The Famed Chicken Ranch Brothel in Pahrump, NV.
She toiled at all the major-player brothels for ten years before hooking up with Dennis Hof, late proprietor of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, where she's an 11-time "Bunny of the Year" recipient and the #1 earner of all time.
Amy reached stardom thanks to her appearances on Hof's highly-acclaimed reality TV series, "Cathouse." And her "Cathouse" fame led to a flood of mainstream radio, TV, magazine and newspaper interviews which, in turn, made "Air Force Amy" a household name.
With nearly thirty years experience as a legal courtesan in Nevada, Amy can be relied upon to relate many first hand historical truths about modern-era Nevada legal brothels.
Among many certificates of completion and college degrees, Amy has associate's degrees in Sex Education and Criminal Justice, a certificate in Clinical Sexology and a doctorate degree in Education, specializing in Human Sexuality. She is also a former faculty member at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.
Air Force Amy has remained a Nevada resident throughout her career, minus two years in the early 1990's. She is a Lyon County homeowner for nearly 20 years. She participates in her community, donates extensively and she incurs all costs for an annual charitable children's Christmas Party she hosts at her home.
Air Force Amy is a survivor of and champions the causes of abused women, missing and exploited children, US military veterans, mental illness, substance and alcohol abuse and, of course, the future of the Legal Brothels in Nevada.
Air Force Amy is a single woman in her early fifties. She dedicates all her time to her work, her neighbors, her clients, her coworkers, her education and her causes. She has traveled the world and loves to attend the local events Nevada has to offer. Amy likes the bright lights and shows of the casinos as well as four wheeling, hiking, ATV and horse back riding in the Nevada countryside.

Suzette Cole, CEO, Moonlite Bunny Ranch
"Prostitution is the oldest profession and will not go away. Nevada has been doing it right since 1971 when we took it out of the criminal's hands and put it into a highly-regulated industry. As an added benefit, there has never been a case of HIV/AIDS in the history of legal brothels here…and you can't say that about any other profession in the United States."
John Stossel, Syndicated Columnist
"We don't have to cheer for prostitution, or think it's nice, to keep government out of it and let participants make up their own minds. It's wrong to ban sex workers' options just to make ourselves feel better."
Steve Chapman, Syndicated Columnist
"Prohibition doesn't eliminate the harms generally associated with prostitution, such as violence, human trafficking and disease. On the contrary, it fosters them by driving the business underground."
Christina Parreira, UNLV Researcher/Sex Worker
"Sex work is my CHOICE. I'd like to continue to have the opportunity to make that choice legally. We don't need protection. We're consenting, adult women."
Washington, DC Councilman David Grosso
"We need to stop arresting people for things that are not really criminal acts. We should arrest someone for assault…but when it's two adults engaging in a consensual sex act, I don't see why that should be an arrestable offense"
New York Assemblyman Richard Gottfried
"Trying to stop sex work between consenting adults should not be the business of the criminal justice system."
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker
"Yes, sex work should be decriminalized. As a general matter, I don't believe that we should be criminalizing activity between consenting adults, and especially when doing so causes even more harm for those involved."
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders
"I think the idea of legalizing prostitution is something that should be considered…(and) certainly needs to be discussed."
U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris
"When you're talking about consenting adults, I think that, yes, we should really consider that we can't criminalize consensual behavior, as long as no one is being harmed. … We should not be criminalizing women who are engaged in consensual opportunities for employment."
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren
"I believe humans should have autonomy over their own bodies and they get to make their own decisions. … I am open to decriminalizing sex work. Sex workers, like all workers, deserve autonomy and are particularly vulnerable to physical and financial abuse."
U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
"If a consenting adult wants to engage in sex work, that is their right, and it should not be a crime. All people should have autonomy over their bodies and their labor."
Gov. John Hickenlooper
"Legalizing prostitution and regulating it, so there are norms and protections and we understand more clearly how people are being treated and make sure we prevent abuse, I think it should be really looked at."
Mike Gravel, former Alaska Senator
"Sex workers are workers, and they deserve the dignity and respect that every worker deserves. For too long, we've denied them that. Sex workers, not politicians, should lead the way in crafting sex work policy."
Prof. Ronald Weitzer, George Washington University:
"Unlike illegal street prostitution in many other places, Nevada's legal brothels do not disturb public order, create nuisances, or negatively impact local communities in other ways. Instead, they provide needed tax revenue for cash-strapped rural towns."
Prof. Barbara Brents, UNLV author, "State of Sex":
"Teams of scholars…have concluded that Nevada's legal brothels provide a far safer environment for sex workers than the criminalized system in the rest of the United States."
Prof. Sarah Blithe, UNR author, "Sex and Stigma":
"Discussions of legal prostitution are rife with misinformation. Academic work and popular press publications alike often conflate legal prostitution in the United States with illegal prostitution."
Lee Herz Dixon:
"Do I think eradicating legal prostitution from all Nevada counties will erase the practice of the oldest profession in the state, or break the nexus of drugs, crime, and exploitation of the vulnerable? I do not."
Journalist Michael Cernovich:
"It's empirically proven that criminalizing sex work allows children to be sex trafficked more readily as they are afraid to turn to authorities and wonder if they will be arrested."
Enrique Carmona:
"We need to put aside moralistic prejudices, whether based on religion or an idealistic form of feminism, and figure out what is in the best interests of the sex workers and public interest as well."
Ruby Rae, professional courtesan
"In the brothels, we have the choice, always, to say which clients we will say yes and no to. We have staff that would never let a man hurt us, and we have a clientele that do not come here to hurt us."
Kiki Lover, professional courtesan:
"We are human beings who chose to do sex work on our own free will. We get treated with respect and like family at the brothels. It's a job just like any other job. We sell a service that all humans need."
Paris Envy, professional courtesan:
"I'm not 'exploited.' I'm not 'trafficked.' I'm not 'brainwashed.' I don't need to be 'saved.' I've freely chosen this line of work, which is a legal, private transaction between consenting adults."
Alice Little, professional courtesan:
"It's ILLEGAL sex work that exploits children. It's ILLEGAL sex work that traffics. It's ILLEGAL sex work that sees women exploited and abused by pimps."
Jim Shedd, Nevadan
"Prostitution should be licensed, regulated, taxed like any other service industry. There are many single or widowed men and women who should be able to take advantage of such services provided by consenting adults for consenting adults. Let's act to at least reduce illegal sex trafficking and other sex crimes by creating safe and legal outlets for paying adults who wish to use them."
Paul Bourassa, brothel customer:
"Some people are just never given a chance in the dating scene, so brothels offer those of us with no experience a chance to learn what it's like to be on a date."
Lewis Dawkins, brothel customer:
"It's not always about sex. Little compliments and encouragements offered by the ladies help build my self-confidence. It's a business, yes. But the ladies care personally about their clients. That means a lot."
Brett Caton, brothel customer:
"I think brothels provide an important function in society. Legal ones give a safe outlet to their customers and for some men it is the only way they get so much as a hug."
