The coronavirus has been hard on almost everyone, but one industrious 20-year-old man appears to have made that work for him.

This morning, Twitter was rocked by the story of the so-called "Hamptons Ho." Twitter user @JaimePrimak opened a thread on Twitter today by saying, "Y’all. My girlfriend lives in the Hamptons…. and her 20 year old son has been living with them since March (covid) he’s a Junior… going back to school. She was cleaning his room and found ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in cash."

Naturally, any mother would be concerned about where this massive pile of money came from. Drugs? Thievery? Prostitution? It turned out to be the latter. According to Primak, the son was approached by an elderly woman back in April with an indecent proposal: she and her friends were looking for sex during the pandemic and were willing to pay the young man a good amount of money – "$5,000 a pop" – for it.

The mom apparently plans to force the son to return the money, which seems a bit hasty, considering he earned that through hard, albeit not socially acceptable, work.

As of this moment, there are no further updates on the so-called Hamptons Ho and his money, and here's hoping it remains that way for the sake of the anonymity of all involved. Obviously, the whole picture of the young man and his business transactions are unknown, so it's impossible to know if anything that took place wasn't on the level, but for a Twitter story, it's gold. It's the exact kind of salaciousness Twitter thrives on, and reactions were gold. Who was right? Is the mom justified in returning the cash? Was the son justified in taking it? If the genders were reversed, wouldn't this be a much different story?

If this story involved a 20 year old daughter smashing old men for $5000 a pop, I feel like the response to this whole thing would be very different.

Just as I staunchly defend & advocate for women sex workers, I will staunchly defend & advocate for this young man.

He had CONSENSUAL sex with these women willing to pay him for his services.

Sex work is work…that’s HIS money.

I dunno, at first I thought it was funny, but if this were a 20 yo woman and 60+ men, we'd think differently about it. Those old ladies lured that young man into doing sex work. Women can be manipulative and abusive too.
