VBS Visits Casa Xochiquetzal Retirement Home For Prostitutes
1 July 2008, 5:40 PM. By Guanabee Staff
Remember Casa Xochiquetzal, the retirement home for prostitutes in Mexico City? Well, VBS.TV is all over that shiz as they are all things Mexican dees days. Once again, Mexico City leads the way in progressive sexual politics and we for one are thoroughly impressed that a place like this exists. In the first video, we meet Canela (pictured here), a 75 year-old sex worker who’s been retired for four years and now sells candles, Paola, aged 60 who still works and says she occasionally gets some young clients. “Son ricos!” Last, we meet Reynita who won’t tell her age, but looks about 90 and sings like an angel. The first two videos are after the jump (part three posts tomorrow) along with some choice photos of the ladies. All are very worth you’re time, so check them out. And don’t forget you can donate to Casa Xochiquetzal here.
Paola explains the trouble with the working these days.
Casa Xochiquetzal director Rosalba clues us in on the typical Mexican prostitute’s story.

This could not happen with government money in the U.S., only with private funds. The Puritan tradition rules here, even though the Puritans have been gone for centuries.
