1. "Prosti-tots"
We are a materialistic world, especially when you live in a developed country. It's all about keeping up with the Joneses. It's the "whoever has the most toys wins" mentality. And that desire for more goods starts as children and can get worse with age. This is especially true in teens and pre-teens. So eager to impress their peers, they may do whatever they can to get the latest, newest brands. That desire can turn dangerous.
They're called "prosti-tots." Young girls (and boys, too) can be anywhere from age 13 and up. They are usually recruited by older girls, thus continuing the cycle. The girls will head over to the mall and wait. A man who knows the game will proposition a girl for sex. She will accept and they'll do the deed. After that, the man will buy her something they agreed upon, whether it be the new Prada bag or Lucky jeans. Then they'll part ways until next time.
This behavior is deeply explored in Oral Sex is the New Goodnight Kiss by Sharlene Azam. Among other things, Ms. Azam interviews girls to find out how exactly a 14 year-old ends up getting into cars with strange men, getting into college parties, and end up giving oral sex at a fraternity. It's a chilling yet informative read I recommend to anyone.
This doesn't just happen in low income or struggling families. In fact, this is occurring primarily in middle class to upper middle class families in suburbia. And from catching STDs to being alone with unknown, strange men with nefarious intentions, the dangers are real.

This is horribly sad. I do agree with the idea of "removing the forbidden fruit." Being told not to do something makes it that much more attractive, especially to young people trying to defy their authorities. Education is a much more practical approach to dealing with things. This was a very insightful article. Thanks for posting.
other than the use of a tampon for it, the -as i call it- "ass alcohol" is nothing new. very quick way to get alcohol poisoning. the not eating is also cuz you can get drunker faster with an empty stomach, alot of drug and alcohol users suffer from malnutrition because they do this, and also forget to eat.
Wow. Just wow. I've never heard of a lot of these. Just so very disturbing.
An Alcohol Enema will kill you, damn near instantly. You by pass the bodies ability to process the poison by for going the liver. Sorry I hate to tell you this but none of these things actually happen. This is an other example of sensationalism becoming news.
Anyone is free to research if they think something is off. I don't want to spread false information, However, there is more than one incident for the existence (and practice) of alcohol enemas.
They have a bit of history. The first major reference is in 2006 in a Jackass movie, but there was a man named Michael Warner that is believed to have died from a sherry enema with a BAC of .47. In 2008, the enemas are briefly mentioned in an episode of Doctors Also, more affordable boxed wine and beer are the preferred alcohols for enemas (as opposed to vodka for tampons).
Yes, there's the big story regarding the Tennessee fraternity, but, as shown, it is not the only reference.
Remember the recent, say about six years ago, about Rainbow Parties, because someone wrote a book about a supposed sex act, she completely made up. People read it and decided this was a thing that actually happens, got a big story on Oprah, and other places. Until someone finally decided to talk to the author who said they made it up. Teenagers lie, if you interview them about things say like sex.. Rumors about the girl who has nice things they don't spread, and they become stories about, "you know she has sex with men to get that stuff." When confronted with an interviewer suddenly these rumors become facts. However yes Micheal Werner was killed by an alcohol enema. I jumped a bit on that one, your article blatantly explained how dangerous that was. AS for Drunkarexia, yeah that happens sadly. Which is kinda stupid because most alcohol is quite fattening. Specifically if you mix it, which many young people do. Not mean drink it strait up.
Also not trying to make an argument, more a discussion.
It's cool! I want people to tell me if something isn't quite right or should be stated a bit better. It's science and how we learn! So don't worry! I just didn't throw in some of my preliminary research because then the article would be HUGE!
Thanks!
Prostitots are nothing new. Over a decade ago when I worked the night shift at a downtown fast food restaurant in a college town, I had heard a rumor that a 14 year old had been arrested for prostitution at one of the nearby bars. I wrote it off as a rumor, until one night after closing at 3 am, I encountered a drunken high schooler wandering the downtown. I knew who she was, and knew she was 14. When I did not know but soon found out was that she was getting into bars by giving blowjobs to the doormen. Once in the bars, she was picking up male patrons and arranging sexual encounters with them at a nearby apartment (after they bought her drinks).
She had no shoes on. I later found out her parents had been locking up her shoes at night to try to make it easier for them to catch her sneaking out. More disturbingly, I found out later that she really was recruiting friends.
The only bright side is that her recruitment failed as others who worked downtown kept track of her and intervened. Unfortunately, last I knew she had gone from alcohol to drugs and worked at a nearby massage parlor that fronted prostitution.
And this was over 10 years ago.
