Pimps' Rules
By Joseph Parker, Clinical Director
The Lola Greene Baldwin Foundation

  1. Always get the money up front. Depending on how much control I have over you, I might collect my money from you every few hours, or wait until the end of your working day. You may never even see the money that a john has paid to sexually use you.

  2. Always make your quota. I will demand as much as $500.00 a day from you, and if you do not bring me that much I deny you food, water, a bath, clean clothes, and/or prevent you from even sitting down or sleeping. If you are drug addicted I might withhold drugs from you. I will yell obscenities at you threaten you and your loved ones, hit you all over with my fists, a pimp stick, or with anything else I want to use. I might even rape you, and I will certainly make you go back out on the street to make your quota, no matter what the weather is like, or what kind of condition you are in. If I find out you are "holding out" any amount of money from me, I will take it as a weakening of my control over you, or a plan for escaping me and I will hurt you or the people you love even more.

  3. Always use a condom. I am concerned about my own risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease if I have sex with you. The risk to you or to the johns is of no concern to me.

  4. Always buy your dope from me. Having you addicted and dependent on me for your drugs only increases my control over you. I get high, too, and I like volume prices for my own use.

  5. Do not make eye contact with men other than potential johns. Making eye contact with a pimp is understood by all pimps to be "choosing" that pimp as your new owner. I do not want to give another pimp the chance to take over my property.

  6. Everything you own or earn is mine. If you succeed in leaving prostitution you will leave destitute, and I will make your exit from "the life" as violent and humiliating as possible, even leaving you naked out on a street.
