...pimp's total control over his women starts from the moment he takes a "square broad" (a non-prostitute) and "turns her out" (initiates her). "Pimping isn't a sex game," said Iceberg Slim. "It's a skull game." In other words, a pimp has to use his head and his psychological skills. Bruce explained: "It's a brainwashing process. When you turn a chick out, you take away every set of values and morality that she previously had and create a different environment. Instead of bookkeepers or secretaries for friends, you give her professional...
...Pimps obviously have unconventional views on male-female relationships, but their material values are relentlessly middleclass. As Bruce put it: "A player is striving for the same things that a square is striving for-security, Utopia, annual income." The latter ranges from $25,000 to $50,000, out of which the pimp pays lawyers and bail bondsmen, buys food, cars, clothes, and sometimes drugs for himself and his stable.

At one party attended by the Milners, the guests consumed cocaine worth $6,000. "I don't work," admitted one pimp. "I just eat, sleep, rest and dress." He does work, of course, making the rounds of bars to recruit new "bitches," make drug contacts, and keep track of the latest police activity in his area. He also has to keep his old hos from deserting him by making each...
Jesse James. Some psychoanalysts believe it is the lonely prostitute's need to feel cared for by someone that binds her to her pimp. Others think that what cements the bond is non-threatening sex: prostitutes are often frigid, pimps latently homosexual. Thus the prostitute feels more comfortable in bed with a pimp than with a man who might expect more of her sexually. Some analysts also suggest that what the prostitute really wants, and thinks she has in her pimp, is someone even lower than she. To French Analyst Maryse Choisy, pimp and prostitute "do not unite...
