Has Dubai become a coded word on the Internet for prostitution?

I thought that was humour no? She obvs couldn't name names .

Are you people really reading this ^^ and thinking it's real?

"Prince Bin Fakin..."

🤣

It was happening twenty years ago and obviously well before that. So I stand by my comment. It's nothing new.

It's nothing *new.

Dubai is though, considering it was little more than a fishing village on the edge of a desert little more than half a century ago. It's made on new money and attracts it.

I remember being in a hotel in Dubai 20 years ago. An elderly M.E. man was with his wife and they were walking along holding hands.

A few hours later he was in the hotel bar with 2 Asian prostitutes. It's nothing new.

I have also seen really young girls loitering in lobbies. I think hotels mist be given backhanders to ignore "guests" as its a law to present passports. This is all going on in the higher end places. I would hate to hear whats happening in Deiras dodgy dives.

Leaving my Dubai hotel at the crack of dawn for an early flight I noticed two tired young girls perched on a window ledge and sharing a can of Pepsi. They were dressed cheaply but provocatively, looked Eastern European.

Could this scenario have been anything other than them waiting for their pimp to collect them after a hard nights work in the hotel?

They were so young, kids really.

People traffickers are everywhere.

It's really depressing Candy imagine the emotional cost of that, in your mind and memorialised forever on video.
Imagine that following you, for the rest of your life? Makes me shudder.

It's such a degrading act.

@TheQueef degradation of western women is absolutely part of it.

Makes me want to herd up all the women and girls and keep them safe in a big female-only utopia. The men can shite all over each other on the wastelands surrounding it.

Sorry to lower the tone even further.

Was the shitting always a part of it? I always thought yachting was just escorting.
I knew a kink existed but the overarching Dubai toilet thing feels more about degradation than skat iyswim.

Because they are commodified, too. Just in a different way. I have very successful, friend who is publicly known to come from a wealthy family. The requests he gets for money, etc shocked me. It is how the world sees him (and only someone as clueless as me didn’t see it. )

Men are commodified from an early age for their physical strength (working class men), their soft skills (middle class) and their connections (wealthy). They also brutally know this. Some see women as the reward for the expectations society has of them. How that works out from the spectrum of dating to escorts, depends to some extent on how people negotiate that territory. Either way, we are not the prize.

It’s a power thing isn’t it. The powerful show their superiority and/or disgust towards the economically/morally weaker.

Why do rich men like shit ? Truing and failing to think of a logical reason

I didn’t think the Jezebel article was that bad - very specifically said what the women were doing (gross stuff for money) was less of an issue given presumably mutual consent. It called out the rape of children and sex with animals though (not envy)

@Dailywalk

Me too. I am

I knew it happened but not at this extent, so blatantly.

I have an Instagram account for drawings, landscape photography. All very bland really. My username sounds make and I was very shocked at the invitations I received early on to ‘join’ a group from women I didn’t know.

I have also noticed lots of posts from women with vinyl strategically placed on their thighs whilst they wear very skimpy shorts, etc.

I’m not buying it that they are really into an obscure white label Brian Eno track.

Absolute commodification. Legitimised. Who remembers all of that stuff about sugar dad dying your way through university? At a time of student loans, it really was a way of saying to low income women they had to earn their right to that space which they don’t.

I also remember reading an interview with the belle de jour blog writer who thought she would go on to university work and no one would know. She also said her father used prostitutes.

I really hate this stuff. I was working as a freelance web researcher whilst doing my postgrad and everything I researched was educational programmes, code based stuff but I still got unwanted pop ups on some of the sites. I also remember the postgrad Berkeley university student who got a grant to help ex working women get into computing and she showed them how to set themselves up as webcam girls.

Some days, I am deadly serious about joining a convent. I’ll renter the world once it values us.

LOL indeed

This reminds me of a Turkish film on Netflix about this topic. I can't remember the name of it. Utterly depressing

There are a lot of male prostitutes too. At Christmas I stood waiting or a lift and the doors opened to reveal 3 identically dressed young guys with sequined face masks. They werent on the way to a panto ..
It is a very dangerous profession at the best of times but in the ME it is really really risky. There is no police officer going to be quoting sex workers rights when you get beat up ,strangled, dragged out to the desert and set alight.

I have heard that the highest earners are the ITV2 reality stars. One particular dating gameshow set on an island Apparently the sheiks go crazy for those boys and girls.

Yy obviously male prostitution is in as much demand as ever in a country like that.

I was referring to heterosexual male influencers/ reality show types in Dubai, being just the same as your typical sex tourist.

I have clearly led a sheltered life. Reading this thread has been an education for me! The humiliation and degradation these women are prepared to endure is staggering. And what do these men think of women?! It’s sickening.

I assumed influencers were paid to promote tourism there? Unless - are the male influencers prostitutes too?

In a country where homosexuality is illegal, there is a need for foreigners willing to provide that service.
