Calling all prostitutes and former prostitutes on MN, as there seem to be a few around right now...

[Aitch]

I'm curious to know how it makes you feel to see threads on here from wives and girlfriends etc when they discover that their husbands etc have been visiting prostitutes? even if you are happy in your own jobs (and i hope to god you are somehow, because the alternative is intolerable), how does it feel to be confronted with the downside of your work on these pages?

(i think it goes without saying that the men are culpable in this scenario, but am looking for some insight into how your work squares with sisterhood etc).

AL: your contribution is unwelcome. Attacking Manda like that is not on.

Legalize it
These whores need protection (trained security) and medical testing and safety. Also trained therapists etc and free contraception for them.

They do provide a service. it is their choice and why shouldn't they do their job in safety? makes me fecking angry that the Government haven't made this safe for women.
Stop (hopefully) the evil pimps that take these women for granted.
The Government would make money from the brothels.

At the same time legalize drugs.

I imagine that drug addicted girls would have to be weened off from their drug addictions in order for them to beable to work in the brothels.

if there are any whores readingmy post

What problems do you envisage if above scenario was actual reality?

Do you still fear that most girls would be controlled by evil pimps etc

The Governement should definately employ whores to design the brothels, their location, the house rules and to implement safety for what may go wrong

I am a fat cow
Spade is a spade to me babes x

Thank you all.

AL There is absolutely no need to shout at me. I am not ashamed at all. Yes, I am a prostitute, I have never denied that.

You seem to have some issues with what I do, that's fine. Make sure you never do it then. However, what I choose to do is entirely up to me.

I already have regular medical check ups, I buy my own condoms. I could get them for free, but with my hourly rate, that would be beyond cheeky.

Being a prostitute is already legal.

I also pay tax and N.I. contributions and pay into a private pension.

I don't need a therapist.

And I belong to a union.

I wish things wouldn't keep popping into my head after I press post.

Anxiousland has some (understandable) issues - on another thread she says that her ex visited massage parlours.

The fact that he did that is not the fault of Manda or any other prostitute, the blame is only with him.

Exactly
Not the whores fault either
Just remember what you are
but whatever that maybe
You are better than the guy that is cheating

Mandamumu - "There is a courtesan (her word, not mine) who is currently on an extended booking of a year with a client. That would have cost him 1 million pounds"

If the man is some billionaire, that money is probably less than one morning's income for him. Easy come, easy go.

Without seeing her bank statements, how do we know for sure that is the actual amount the she will receive. Millions of people are economical with the truth when it comes disclosing their income, even to family and friends.

Mandamumu what sort of guys do you get (sorry always wondered but never had anyone to ask directly) Are they the sort of guys who would have a reputation or quiet guys who no one would ever think? I know every guy is different but is there a certain type of guy iykwim. Asking this as a totally non provocative way out of interest.

You can put down Escort on the tax return, many girls do. Others choose to put something like Masseuse, Therapist, Companion.

Some girls have another occupation as well. I know a girl who also works for Ann Summers, so her tax return says Party organiser.

Mine says Escort. I can't be arsed to put anything else.

Yes AL, I am a whore, do you feel better now?
I'm sorry to hear that your ex was unfaithful, you don't seem to be handling it well. Time is a great healer though.

Pomp, I see all kinds of guys, right across the spectrum.

I suppose the most common ones are the shy, quiet guys who couldn't face trying to "pull" a girl using conventional methods. Every now and again I open the door to a young, fit guy (recent example was a Marine) and think "What the HELL are you doing here?"

I mean, I'm 37 and I'm not averse to a cream cake or two. Some of these guys are the ones you would normally expect to be going out with a young, model type girl. It baffles me, but I'm certainly not complaining.

apologies to mandamumu that this thread has provoked such abuse. clearly you understand that she is angry with her dh, though, which is kind of you.

LOL @ having a go at the unhiged that found out her ex had been to a massage parlour lol

Oh well - where is the nearest street corner

i might get some respect lmao

Not kind at all. Just a basic level of understanding and empathy. Most of us have picked a wrong 'un at some point and had to pick up the pieces afterwards.

I mean, Christ. If it'll be cathartic to AL, she has my full permission to PM me a stream of abuse. Although the fact I don't mind may well make it less helpful. I don't know.

AL if you stand an a street corner, you're more likely to end up wearing a puddle courtesy of a passing motorist than get any respect.

AL, I don't think that's called for. I would be devastated if my DH went to a prostitute, not least because of what it would suggest about his opinion of women. I also do happen to think that Manda and other women who choose to be prostitutes do have to take some of the responsibilty for infedelity. IMHO it's mainly the man's fault, but pretending that it's got nothing to do with the women he shags is ridiculous, prostitute or not. I don't call that feminism myself.

But AL, attacking Manda who at least has the guts to speak to us isn't really fair.

If you go to SN children you will find out my child is blind

There is something for you to have a go at me about too
Was going to tell you about my ex 14 years ago but the sad stalker got there first

Anyway must go whores lol

Onmce a whore always a whore

FACT

Le sigh...

AL you need help. FGS. There is no need for all the vitriol.

You are very angry. Maybe you should talk to someone about that, it must affect your quality of life.

Fuck me, that sounds patronising! Wasn't meant to be.

I HAVE NEVER SAID IT WAS THE WHORES FAULT
BUT THE TERM WHORE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO LIKE LOL

I'm fine with whore.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AND IF IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT WHY ARE YOU SEEMINGLY SO ADAMANT TO UPSET MANDA?

And as an aside I really don't give a shit who your H shagged. I find your attitude towards other women disgusting and disturbing. I'm sure it was very upsetting at the time, you have my sympathy for that. But your vendetta against Manda is out of line.

If you think your behaviour here is normal I suggest you seek counselling. And no-one mentioned your child or had a go at you. What the fuck are you on?
