A volunteer talks on her cell phone at the entrance to the "Whore College" in San Francisco on May 4, 2005. Prostitute and sex activist Carol Leigh opened the world’s first college for prostitutes, the “Whore College”, in San Francisco. It is open to male and female prostitutes who want to learn and improve their safety, business and technical skills. Classes such as “Beauty Standards and Work”, Safer Oral Sex” and “Give Your Sex Business a Make Over” are taught here. Leigh – who goes by the name of “Scarlet Harlot” – claims there has been a demand for such studies since many Silicon Valley employees became sex workers after the dot com bust of the late 1990s.
