Escort Work

SailorSam

I know someone who was an escort, she made a shed full of money, but she also caught a nasty disease and died.

I use to have an escort myself, but i've got a fiesta now.

There is nothing wrong with exchange of money for sex between two parties with equal bargaining power.

However, it remains a fact that the enormous numbers of women in the sex trade are involved in it because they are addicted to alcohol and/or drugs, or they are coerced by pimps. In my view any man who takes advantage of women in that situation is little better than a rapist.

Prostitutes who walk the streets and women who work in brothels, generally are the drug addicts. Escorts are the "higher class" of women. You would see a considerable difference in price of services between these types of services

I find it interesting how some women seem to be unable to accept that other women can willingly sell sex, so tend to assume they're doing it because they're drug addicts.

I fully understand that there are many women in the sex industry for those reasons and women who are in the industry against their will.

But there are also women who do it through their own free will because they want to and drugs don't ever come in to it.

That's where I always tend to think that the police should concentrate their resources where they're needed - stopping the trafficking and violence.

Wasting time criminalising people who enter into the agreement consensually and openly is just avoiding the bigger picture.

I never said there weren't women who willingly sell sex. I just don't happen to believe that they are in the majority, much as some men would like to kid themselves that this is the case.

What I do see, every day, are smack and crack addicts standing on street corners where I live. The men who go with them are filth, in my opinion.

it sometimes is really useful for "gay" men to fit in at occasions where the rest of the team may not know they are gay or are very homophobic

i wouldnt say your sad to hire an escort sometimes its about the company if your on business in a hotel its sometimes better to have two people at teh table then being instantly recognisable as the sad loner who is eating alone

Yes..i sometimes have to pretend I'm gay to fit in with groups of gay men also..:rolleyes:

I completely agree that it is very sad that so many people don't believe that there are people who would hire companion without expecting sex.

So many young highly professional people that are building career do not have time/mood to find a life partner, but still have to go out with clients for dinners etc and if the client brings a partner/opposite sex colleague (or even misstres:p) it would be very uncomfortable if they were sitting there by themselves - 2 against 1.

Or people who travel abroad a lot for business and don't want to spend every night by themselves sitting in a hotel on the bed.

I have never done it myself, but would I find myself in any of these situations I would probably consider it.

But why is it that we sterotype? Why is it the busy "professional" the up and coming city type or high flyer who apparently needs a pretty girl on his arm? Why isnt it the road sweeper or the unemployed/disabled guy..? Or does this not fit in with the positive imagery?

Yes..they are more covert about their drink, drug and psychological problems.

I wasn't stereotyping, I was giving an example.

And clearly - I just watch too much TV!!:rotfl:That's maybe why it came to my head first.:rotfl:

But mainly - because I met between people like that and I can see these situations happening. Not hiring escorts - but where people ask any opposite sex friends to go with them to a business dinner or night out. I could imagine that if noone is available then you could find yourself hiring escort.
