Yet another Manhattan paper, the alt.weekly The Village Voice, leans heavily on our own sex trade reporter to examine Eliot Spitzer. Voice writer Tristan Taormino argues that by hiring out instead of getting a real mistress, Spitzer was minimizing the impact on his marriage. Part of what you're paying for in a hired girlfriend experience: She won't get drunk and call your wife. Plus, Melissa adds, she won't let you get too crazy over her: "Sex with clients is very different from sex with people I am in a relationship with. I had to cut loose a client who was becoming too close and relying too much on me." Yeah, I had a Web contractor like that once.

Melissa is cute, no doubt, but Tristan Taormino is sex on a plate.
Wait, so Melissa is a hooker? Or did I read that wrong?
Doesn't everyone write "Melissa Gira Grant" over and over in their notebook? I dot the i's with little hearts.
Former, no? What she lacks in looks she makes up for in sexy knowledge. That cannot be discounted. Yeah, I said it.

Valleywag may be the first person or entity ever to imply that Tristan Taormino doesn't do her homework. Careful, folks: that kind of affront to a woman with a body of work like hers can have serious, up-the-butt consequences.
@tootingbec: My, aren't we looking for offense where there is none. Sourcing Melissa instead of Sudhir Venkatesh *is* Taormino doing her homework.
@Paul Boutin: "Looking for offense where there is none" is what Voice readers do best.
@Paul Boutin: Okay, now that's a big 10-4.
@random_play: Most people dot the i's with dollar signs.
