Are prostitutes the solution?
Posted: 11/22/2007 10:24:33 AM
^^^
For your information, I wasn't referring to anyone in particular.

Like everyone on here, I too have a right to express my opinion.

And that's what I did. You may do with it as you wish.

I clearly stated "some" men and "some" young girls. I never once claimed, or implied in any way, to be speaking for ALL, or for anyone in particular.

I spoke from my own personal experience and I clearly stated that this was my opinion.

You may even suggest that I'm arrogant, narrow minded, AND self absorbed for thinking the way I do.

That would be YOUR right to express your opinion.

Just like I did mine, and just like we all do.

JMO

"""I would think that it's rarely done for pleasure ergo it must be a choice based on desperate need for money. Not all (any?) of the guys they have sex with are good looking young studs....think about all of the other possibilities...."""

As mentioned, it probably is rarely done for pleasure BUT THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! A lot of money! There is some pleasure in that! Hell, I even think to myself sometimes "I wonder how much I could make giving Gay Blowjobs", Of course I am straight, But....

People will do what they want or need or think they want or need. Yeah, there are some "bad parts of town", Ugly Smelly Johns, cheap whores, etc...Just like in real life. I won't judge them for these decisions at least.

Well a view ceases being just a view when it implies someone is lying or "making themselves believe something" hence me asking IF you were referring to my post oddly enough

And trying to claim any scenario is ALWAYS a certain set of circumstances when not only common sense but many peoples personal experiences prove quite the opposite isnt JUST a view either, it IS closed minded, unless you can think of another description for someone doing that of course


Also, just for the record, can you show me where I said you SHOULDNT post your view? Saying what I think is wrong with it and innacurate about it isnt saying it SHOULDNT be expressed, its responding to it actually oldy, which isnt even a subtle distinction either, its a pretty obvious one really

So unless you think your "right" to expression also includes the right to not be responded to I really dont see what point you thought you were making in the last post to be perfectly honest

Fish bill, not all prozzies HAVE to sleep with a client, I think as with some other posters youre just seeing prostitution through the eyes of the media or in terms of street corner hookers who ARE desperate and strung out and in need of a fix

The girls I knew frequently turned down customers either because they didnt want to do them or because what they wanted wasnt something they were prepared to offer as a services, it was their business, and their choice what they did or didnt do

Infact one of the more surprising "services" many of them offered was the psuedo date, where they would pretend to be someones girlfriend or partner for the night, and not simply for functions but often just literally as tho it was a date and the sex at the end of the night was a "bolt on" rather than included as a lot of men simply wanted non neurotic female company, also it wasnt uncommon for men to hire them for an entire night quite literally to "sleep with" . Again with sex as a bolt on as it wasnt always wanted as the purpose was simply for the closeness and intimacy of skin on skin company and waking up with someone often after the ending of a relationship or during bouts of singledom

prostitution has many layers and facets, but many people seem intent on ONLY clinging to the worst example imagineable and then trying to claim its "all" like that which just isnt the case

Hey guys (and gals), this is the 21st century. Women have as many choices as men do when it comes to careers, as well as to sexual lifestyle. What girl (or boy) aspires to growing up to become a prostitute? I've heard that many prostitutes, male and female, were victims of childhood sexual abuse. Perhaps it caused them to lose a healthy emotional connection to sex.

As far as being a career choice and making lots of money: how long do you think a prostitute's career lasts? A few years, maybe? I don't imagine that there are a lot of wealthy retired prostitutes living happily ever after.

These days there are plenty of women, such as myself, who have great jobs and make more money than a lot of you guys in respectable careers.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you guys that think prostitution is an easy way to make a lot of money.... why don't you take to the street for a couple of weeks?

why pay for a drink of milk when there is a pasture of the same milk everywhere giving free milkshakes ??????

prostitute could cost 10-20 dollars, far more than I would have to spend for sex.
so it makes no sense to get a hooker.

Well the only 25 year old with a brand new car and two houses being rented and a third they lived in that I have ever met male OR female was a female prozzie

And their career lasts as long as there are men who want to shag em, so that would be as long as non prozzies dating days last really wouldnt it?

"As mentioned, it probably is rarely done for pleasure BUT THEY MAKE A LOT OF MONEY! A lot of money! There is some pleasure in that"
There is a world of difference between a highclass, highly paid call girl/escort. They certainly do it for money, and move in a totally different social circle.
Those described as prositutes come from poorer neighbourhoods, usually enter the "profession" to feed themselves and/or their kids, of feed a drug habit. Some are as young as 14, in poorer countries they can be younger still. Some of the above relates to "rent boys" as well as girls/women.
Don't kid yourself that any of them make "a lot of money" I'd bet they could earn more working a lowly paid job, but don't have the wherewithall to do so. Circumstances lead them into that kind of life, some with tragedies that we can't even begin to imagine.
I don't think there can be any justification for a grown man to pay a 14 year old child of either gender for sexual gratification. It's distasteful and immoral, as is the attempt to glamorise it. To any of you that have daughters....how would you feel if they decided to earn their "living" in this way?

I saw a documentory called something like "I'm a sex addict". It was a bit crazy but was about someone progression through stages of sex addiction that ended up with prostitutes. Unless the question is "how can i get a painful, embarassing and probabally deadly STD" no they are not the answer.

I doubt even escorts woke up this morning thinking. ALLL RIGHT i'm gonna go down on a guy today for money. Sorry to be vulgar. I maintain that almost all prosititues are drug addicts, no mater how much they charge or how they look. Even if they aren't they dont get screening for STD from the 15 guys or more they did before you this week. Just my thought.

They do it for a living, hence being called "pro's", as such you will find they are often FAR safer bets than your common all garden drunken slut hanging around in bars

And are also going to be a lot safer than the delusional naive "good girl" with a low count who was "just ever so ever so sure" all her partners were just as wholesome that she didnt want to insult them by asking them to be checked

Naivity or just drunken sex are the two most common ways STD's get spread, no decent hooker would allow sex with a condom, many not even oral sex without one

How many non prozzies are that careful? Very few I think you will find

As for an individual, unless they practise UNsafe sex theyre unlikely to get and STD

And that goes just as much for them shagging a prozzie as any other woman

Since prostitution has been around for many thousands of years, and practiced in many ways in different cultures, it is not that hard to imagine that not every prostitute is a drug addict, is 15 years old, or is unhappy. But if there is something to be gained from a particular stereotype, by all means.

Prostitutes are not the answer . . . Why would someone prefer to sleep with someone who doesn't give a s--t about them . . . ?

> I agree with Missie1819 one hundred per cent.
> If I were a billionaire, and even if prostitutes were 'giving it away', they'd be the last people upon whose door I would knock. I mean, paying money to a total stranger who doesn't really want you, who doesn't know you, who doesn't care about you, and who wants the whole thing over and done with as quickly as possible. Where is the joy in that?
> And then there is the matter of self-respect.
> Naw, forget it. Prostitutes are the very last resort, one that I will never choose.

People need sex and sometimes the only way to get it is by being deceptive. I think some men don't like being deceptive but find it as a means to achieving an end. At least with prostitution there is no deception involved. It is a transaction, sex for money, and no one gets hurt in the end. I find that more ethical.

Its often called by other names than prostitution tho, like the greek "da-ting" or the latin "marr riage" too


And yeah, sex being sold for money in an above board kind of way has a very ethical and honest aspect to it


Unlike when its exchanged via the "lucky dip" method of "wine me and dine me and who knows "

Even with casual sex its being "swapped" for sex in return, so its not as different as people like to think it is, theres ALWAYS a treade of one sort or another going on, the only altruistic sex is pity sex, and even then people get a saintly "feel good" factor out of it

From a purely hypothetical point of view, lol, one might want to because the pro would do what they want them to do with no complaints. I'm still not for it, but I understand the thought process.

I feel the same way about paying a gardner to mow my lawn. Why would a woman want the bother of nagging a husband to the chores when she can simply pay a pro?

with all the sexually active women around, giving it away, it amazes me anyone would even consider a hooker.
