==Prostitution==
Loebner was open about his visits to prostitutes.<ref name=salon/> In 1994, after a campaign by officials in New York City to arrest customers of prostitutes, he wrote an opposing letter to ''[[The New York Times]]'', which was published.<ref>[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0DEFDC1F30F93BA2575BC0A962958260&scp=2&sq=Hugh+Loebner&st=nytProstitution Arrests], ''The New York Times'', 18 August 1994</ref> In 1996, he authored a ''Magna Carta for Sex Work'' or'' Manifesto of Sexual Freedom'',<ref>[http://loebner.net/freedom/magna-carta.html Magna Carta for Sex Work] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221154607/http://www.loebner.net/freedom/magna-carta.html |date=2007-12-21 }}</ref> in which he denounced the criminalization of consensual sexual acts, and asked all like minded people to join a protest on June 9, 1996 (a play on the [[69 (sex position)|69 sex position]]). In interviews, he stated that he believed himself to be too old for the young attractive women he is interested in; they would not have sex with him were it not for the money. He has compared the oppression of prostitutes and their customers to the oppression that [[Alan Turing]] faced because of his [[homosexuality|homosexual behavior]].
