A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Brook Urick, author of WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE: Sexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy Website, where she reveals the horrors of sex trafficking, fraud, and predatory behavior at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement.Brook worked on staff for years while trying her own luck as a sugar baby. Now she says, “We can’t allow young women to get involved, sometimes unknowingly, in a life of sex work and abuse as a result of this website.” Her journey continues as a writer and content creator. Learn more at BrookUrick.com.When the New York Times and ABC News interviewed her, she wrote a book proposal, thinking her story was going to be broadcast and a book would help. But those stories didn’t run, and no one would publish her book.Then she learned about Kris and TrineDay through Whitney Webb (ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL: The sordid union between Intelligence and Organized Crime that gave rise to Jeffrey Epstein), and Kris published her book, which examines many things, including the psychology of young girls seduced into making bad decisions.A similar website, Backpage, wasn’t hiding what it was. It was a Craigs List for sex workers. It was shut down. The 2018 FOSTA-SESTA law holds websites liable for sex trafficking on the internet.So why isn’t the DOJ pursuing her former company, now called Seeking? Brook wants to know.“It’s really warping girls’ minds to think that money should come easy to me because I have this body.” Brook wants girls to know how much your psyche changes as you get older, especially if you seek attention from older men because you had a poor or no relationship with your father.“Women are biologically incapable of having casual sex.” During sex they release oxytocin, “the bonding hormone,” which makes you feel you need to be attached to that man because you might be pregnant. The body tricks you into believing you want to be with him no matter who he is. “No one taught me that, growing up.”Slutty heroines who get all the attention and glory in our culture are bamboozling girls and young women into exploiting themselves, which can get them money and attention, but which is very damaging as you get older. It’s hard for girls and young women to see that paradox and that’s why Brook wrote her book, to help them avoid similar bad decisions.Our society is rotting because we’re being programmed to relate through technology and we’re abused through anonymity and gaslit by being told what we see with our own eyes is not what we’re seeing, conditioning people to not think for themselves. “If a technology is free to you, then you are the product, not the consumer. People need to understand that their data is valuable, especially their biodata.”Profound questions of identity and self-worth, urgent and important to everyone, especially to young people, are raised by Brook’s book. Her advice to young girls and women growing up in this atmosphere is, “Don’t chase money. It’s very confusing when you’re young and you don’t have enough money to have your basic needs provided for.”WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGESexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy WebsiteAt TrineDay.com and the usual sellers.Brook Urick worked behind the scenes at the notorious sugar daddy website SeekingArrangement while trying her own luck as a sugar baby.Urick wants the DOJ to take a closer look at this website, especially after legislation called FOSTA-SESTA passed in 2018, making these websites criminally liable.
