How do you feel about prostitution?

Hello everyone, I have name changed for this(no sinister reason) but i do post on here from time to time.

Anyway, I would love to know what your thoughts are on prostitution. I don't mean political views and I dont really want to get into a discussion on whether girls are trafficked, pimped, druggies. Just what you think as a whole.

I am talking about girls who willing become escorts or work in massage parlours under the guise of 'masseuses' when really they provide extras.

What do you think of men who see them? Are that losers, sad and lonely, 'sex addicts'or what? Would you think your dp/dh was cheating if he saw a prostitute.

I ask just out of curiosity, I do not think my dp has ever visited a prostitute! Also, apparently 1 in 10 men see prostitutes. Do you agree with this. If this is true what hope do we all have eh?

My take is that i belive some girls use their looks to earn money an 'easy' way. By easy, I mean that they do not have to train for yrs to get a decent paid job, or they do not have to work 9 to 5 in an office when they can earn a wks wages in a day.

I have asked my own dp and he beleives that there is something missing from a relationship if a man sees a prostitute.Obviously its different with a single man. He also thinks that some men have issues sexually with their wives/partners and are inhibited. Therefore, that is why they pay for sex acts that they can't ask for at home. These are exactly my thoughts.Anyone agree or disagree?

I'd like your thoughts or experiences!

What question? I don't have a daughter, as EA should know if she's been hunting me all over t'interweb.

(Thought that kind of thing was rather discouraged here, btw? Or don't normal manners extend to whores?)

Hypothetical question, not probing.

OFFS · 12/11/2010 21:35

Dittany, you are a bit obsessed with PN. Didn't you start thsi thread seeking to prove PN had planned an incvasion of some sorts? It's never happened.

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:36

OFFS....Are you all obsessed with dittany?

Pimps?? I work for myself I answer to myself, I don't turn to a husband and ask for 'pin money'

There it is in a nutshell.

What exactly in a nutshell?, oh yes sorry my mistake I look to others husbands for 'pin money'

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:37

The fact that men represent money for you, you either have to ask or to sell to get it from them.

OFFS · 12/11/2010 21:37

OK, I'll answer a hypothetical question with another; if your (adult) DD came to you and said she'd chosen to become a WG to provide for herself through Uni, would you throw her out and call her all the names you've called us, EA?

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:37

And Sabrina why do you hate womankind?

EscortKarin · 12/11/2010 21:38

Just a few questions....Why have none of you properly addressed the notion of women marrying for money and the pain that entails? - why has no one addressed the hatred felt by a quite a few of you toward prostitutes that perpetuates the violence that some can experience?

Posie, you say YOUR questions aren't being answered - neither are the ones I pose

quizling · 12/11/2010 21:38
Confused

But who am I?

OFFS · 12/11/2010 21:39

Posie, I'm not at all obsessed with dittany. :) We've crossed swords before on this topic; I know her thoughts and I know they're not going to change.

I also know she's wrong. Wink

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:40

I'll answer. If my dd said she wanted to be a prostitute I would feel ashamed that I had let her down, I would worry for her mental, emotional and physical health. I would feel I, as her parent, had failed to create a person that valued, respected and loved themselves.

SabrinaYork · 12/11/2010 21:40

You asking me or telling me?

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:42

"Why have none of you properly addressed the notion of women marrying for money and the pain that entails?"

If those women were marrying for money what did the men purchase?

"why has no one addressed the hatred felt by a quite a few of you toward prostitutes that perpetuates the violence that some can experience?"

You are now saying that 'middle class' women cause the rape and murder of prostitutes?

quizling · 12/11/2010 21:42

I have to leave. I can't continue with the uncertainty of not knowing who I am.

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:43

Sabrina....'?' is usually the give away.

quizling · 12/11/2010 21:43

'If those women were marrying for money what did the men purchase?'

Sex and the status of having a beautiful woman as a wife. Obviously.

I am being told who I am!

OFFS · 12/11/2010 21:43

No, quizling, don't go! You're a warm and wonderful person. That's all anyone needs to know. :)

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:44

quiz...you and I both know. Given some of the threads you post on I don't think it's fair to out you.

quizling · 12/11/2010 21:45

Honestly, go for it. I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.

OK, give me a clue

OFFS · 12/11/2010 21:45

But it's fair to "out" me and MissH? Hmm

Ah I was not used to being asked anything on here just being told! So excuse me for not being sure.

PosieComeHereMyPreciousParker · 12/11/2010 21:45

quiz....So they are punters then, no pain in a bad purchase. It would be quite different if you'd said they were in love, but you didn't.

I understand the confusion but I'm not paying you, so you are allowed an opinion.
