Prostitute checked into our hotel!

Hotels do day rates that are much lower than standard rates. They offer them when there is spare capacity. People use them for a variety of reasons.

I bet she wasn't a prostitute.
I remember when I was young meeting a friend at King's Cross Station after a night out (not gone to bed yet night out). It was about 7.45am I was standing around, in my clubbing gear, looking the worst for wear, waiting for friend. Some bloke comes up, pretending to look at postcard stand next to me and says to me '£40'. I reply 'OMG! I'm not a prostitute' bloke scooted off.

Another time, I went skiing in Eastern Europe 25 years ago. In the 'posh' hotel we stayed in loads of very heavily made up women with very skimpy clothes hung around in the bar. Day one, we thought they were sex workers. By day five, we realised, no, that was just how the local women dressed.

OP would have a blue fit walking down my road. We have a well known ‘love hotel’ that rents rooms for €60 for six hours. Lovely decor (lots of mirrors) and a garage with ever-so-convenient curtained off parking bays 😂

And OP, of all of the people going in and out only about 10% ever look ‘the type’. Put your pearls down.

No because then what I would have said is “it’s impossible to enjoy your work” as opposed to what I actually said.

The vast majority of women having sex with men for money are not enjoying it. Remember Paula Clennell?

men review their “sex workers” online. It’s very revealing. It does not reveal that the women are enjoying it nor that the punters think they are.

No one is laughing, but do you think your bleeding heart is going to stop prostitution? No, it isn't. So, allow them to ply their trade in the relative safety of an hotel instead of offering it in the back of a van or an underpass. You will never ever remove prostitution as an 'option' from these women. It's not laughing at them or being a cool fucking girl, it's having some realisation of what the reality is for some.

No. Technically his money.

I used to work in a hotel. Anyone who has will tell you, you would not believe the crazy shit that goes on.

Someone once, did a poo on an ironing board.

@Pookerrod You are ignoring my point and you know it.

I worked in a hotel where an old man came in every week with a different girl.
an hour later they would leave, hand the keys back and say he wouldn’t need them again.

it was always after pension day so technically tax payers money. Even more shocking op.

Seconded.

Well said @Pookerrod.

I used to work in a naicehotel and one Male guest dug a hole in one of the sofa seat cushions, filled it with shower gel and fucked it

OMG 😂😂😂😂

This made me chuckle! I love Pretty Woman.

They are hurting people. WOMEN..

We are not commodities and we should
not be just laughing and turning a blind eye on thinking that any man should be able to pay for sexual gratification.

Men are not entitled to sex, and we should not be allowing our most vulnerable women to be exploited for men’s pleasures.

Women who are struggling to eat, who have complex needs, mental health issues, live far away from home, who are addicted to drugs, or even have children at home. These are human beings who have no choice to sell their bodies for sex, and the only reason they are able to do so is because some men are vile creatures and think they are owed it and want to get a blowie for a tenner on demand. Like ordering a kebab or a pizza.

It’s not judgemental to spot a prostitue from a mile off in a hotel, they stick out like a sore thumb. It’s painfully obvious who they are, and how we are just leaving them behind.

I will never forget the bbc documentary “life in the red light district” filmed in Leeds. It was and will be one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever seen.

And I will never forgive other media for making it seem like “sex work” is choice and glorifying it.

Would you rather these trafficked, abused, desperate women get in men’s cars? Or fuck in a dark alley, or under a bridge?

These women exist. Whether you agree with prostitution or sex work or whatever anyone wants to call it, or not. It isn’t going away. It will always be part of society. And the more visible it is, the safer it is.

OP, I suggest you stay away from Soho, Covent Garden, or Mayfair. There you can see doors that say “lovely ladies upstairs” plastered on them.

Oh bolleaux! It's really not the same as rape, rape is when you are forced to have sex against your will.
With the exception of trafficked victims who can't change their minds and walk away , it's really not rape.

That's an insult to real rape victims.

I agree with you OP and all the cool girls who feel so very ok with prostitution might want to consider how vile, exploitative and anti-consent prostitution is. Trafficked, abused, desperate women.

Would you want that future for your daughters, cool girl posters? Or yourselves? Fuck off.

All the posters laughing about how supposedly uptight you are just fucking handmaidens to patriarchal norms.

Oh @GrumpyL please do share how you are certain this woman was a prostitute? Counting out cash at 10.30am could have been for many things and only if you heard her say ‘I’m a prostitute, please hand my key out to the 10 men arriving at these times’ could you possibly be sure!

What's going to happen to the children then? They're probably going to be more freaked out about the adults they trust acting weirdly suddenly then a person going about their business.
Unless you equate sex worker with child snatcher or something?
Why not use it as an opportunity to address some of your triggers, and then use it as an opportunity to think about how you want your children to learn about this kind of topic.

Perhaps she thought you were a prostitute too

I understand why you might have felt able to identify that the woman in question was a sex worker.

I am deeply disturbed that you think your ten-year-old, or any other child in the hotel lobby, would be able to ascertain the same.

So?

Really? So you’re saying it’s impossible to enjoy your work?

Any man who pays a woman to let him fuck her knows she doesn’t actually want to do it.

Meh... A pal of mine works in a certain budget hotel, and they get prostitutes in there several times a month. 6 or 7 different men overnight (from 8pm to 6am...) No-one really cares. They're not hurting anyone, and always leave the room tidy and clean.
