Is sex working ever 'acceptable'

having sex for money does not equate to being bought.

I think in some scenarios sex work can be acceptable.

I think sex work is fine if thats what she wants to do.

sex can be bought. consent can be bought. relationships can be bought.

whether people find that problematic sometimes doesnt change that. You dont have to like what she does, nor try and find a way to believe that she is exploited or doing harm, because it doesnt fit in with your idea of prostitution.

Let's hope so, for her sake.

"And that top one was £40, vijon. NOT £100 or £200."

It didn't mention how much time the client spent with her. Not all bookings are 1 hour you know, sometimes it is for 30mins or even 15mins.

Yawn... not that again. They're real.

Yeah yeah - NAPALT.

And she (Gaye) made a stat. declaration meaning if it turned out Gaye was lying she would be in legal trouble.

That's bollocks. People swear false stat decs all the time. Gaye Dalton was on here a few weeks ago and her behaviour was very odd and did not lend credibility to her smears against Rachel Moran.

What's your interest in prostitution hannah ?

And that top one was £40, vijon. NOT £100 or £200.

It's not me smearing you, hannah. It's reviews of prostitutes like this:

The invisible men Project: What about HIS choices

If society tolerates the treatment of one woman like this, it tolerates the treatment of all women like this.

vijon wrote - "Even if you can guarantee they won't face poverty, why should they give up their high paid job? What gives you that right to tell them what other adults can and can't do?"

Do you have any idea how many millions of laws there are in societies worldwide telling adults what they can and can't do? It's a lot. But you insist that prostitution has to be exempt from that. On the contrary, prostitution does not have to be a special case.

Hannah - I'm describing it from the punter's POV. They want a section of women in society available for them to fuck for money. Judging from what's written on the Invisible Men website, they do not treat these particular women as fellow, equal, human beings. It's written in their own words.

Men that will pay to fuck women who don't actually want to fuck them (only about 10% of the population of men) are suffering from the Madonna/Whore complex. Some women are 'pure' - their wives, mothers, sisters/daughters. Some are not: "prostitutes", "loose women," "slags". These men subscribe to the view that women are not their sexual equals, they are just people to get sex from. They have no sexual needs of their own, sex is not an equal-participation activity at all for them. It's all about their own gratification.

I consider women equal participants - not something to be bought for sexual gratification of the man only.

" it was the results of the polls "

Polls are bollox. There's no way to tell if they were biased or not and usually we don't know the sample size.

It's like claiming "90% of British people believe in god" but conveniently missing out the fact you only asked 10 people and only asked people in a church.

Well, Sabby dear - you're smearing me online at this very moment

I don't see why Gaye Dalton would lie, unlike Rachel Moran she isn't earning money from speaking out. And she (Gaye) made a stat. declaration meaning if it turned out Gaye was lying she would be in legal trouble.

"Bollocks"

Don't take my word for it. The person exposing her is a sexworker (a real sexworker, just to add).

She hasn't. She has been the target of an on-line smear campaign.

And I am offended by being referred to as a 'subset'

Or possibly because she has been exposed as a liar??....

Corrected that last stat for you as I don't believe every single person in the country was asked.

I'm not really bothered by what you believe - it was the results of the polls - more than one in fact. You also "believe" that a subset of women in society should be made available for men to pay to fuck - so how much of a fuck do I give about your beliefs?

"Not offering a guaranteed income of £100 per hour for life is not the same as consigning an exited prostitute to abject poverty."

Even if you can guarantee they won't face poverty, why should they give up their high paid job? What gives you that right to tell them what other adults can and can't do?

Bollocks. You just hate her because she speaks out against men like you. You want to be able to pay to fuck women without any legal recriminations, and you don't particularly care about whether the women involved share her traumatic experiences of prostitution. Many other prostitutes have spoken out too - including one on this thread.
