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!

Dittany, you still haven't said why you make things up?

But you said there are pro-pimp posts, and that WGs posting here claim to speak for all WGs. That's simply not true, is it? So, you made it up.

Quite straightforward, really.

Anyway, gotta go, been lovely chatting with you. :)

Where is MY right as a woman to do as I see fit with MY body?

I can share it with whoever I want for cash as some non wgs do for an alcopop and a kebab on the way home from a night out on the town.
Or some mothers probably do with the milkman while hubby is away earning to keep a roof over their heads, oh yes sorry you do know that woman sometimes screw around on their partners also?

Or are those girls/woman ok because they are having sex with sometimes partnered men and taking away their need to pay for it? And lets face it that happens so much more than someone coming to pay for my services.

I love being able to make my own choices with what I do in my life and how I want to earn my decent tax deductible income. And I also appreciate that feminists over the years have fought bloody hard to give me that right.

"I've already said how women in prostitution would be helped - by prosecuting punters and pimps and decriminalising prostituted people themselves."

Why punish the punter ? It's nonsensical to make what we do legal and illegal for our clients. Why not pour resources into tackling the shameful care system that allows children who are already deeply traumatised to be groomed by paedophiles and sold into sexual slavery ?

Why is this country so obsessed with what goes on behind closed bedroom doors when there are consenting adults involved ?

Sabrina, I"ve already said how women in prostitution would be helped - by prosecuting punters and pimps and decriminalising prostituted people themselves. As well as that women in prostitution need to be given support to leave the life. It's working in Sweden and Norway.

Go back through the thread you will hear my views on it, I have the opposing view, I have worked and lived in NZ where it is decriminalised and I will argue that it is working well there.

Prostituteandproud · 13/11/2010 16:17

Methinks they protest too much.

Why spit out such venom when they no very little or nothing about the sex industry.

Perhaps they do know what their husbands are up to but choose to turn a blind eye. Who knows.

No matter what anyone else says all I can see in this thread is a lot of bitter, twisted and closed minded females, I could never call them ladies.

Yes my name does speak volumes. I work as a prostitute and im proud.

I offer my services to guys and im not ashamed to say so. I actually get paid to piss on guys/piss IN guys mouths and then they come home to YOU. Dont worry though ladies I always make sure they shower afterwards. I wouldnt want you to be tasting me when you kiss your guys.

HappyWithLife · 13/11/2010 16:19

Eeugghh...Prostituteandproud....TMI! But I agree that the level of venom is interesting.

HappyWithLife · 13/11/2010 16:21

Have to say though, that you haven't helped your cause P&P with your last paragraph.

I find the continual insidious inference that our husbands are the customers of prostitutes very tiresome - it smacks of going on the offensive because you are losing the arguement.

As for prostituteandproud, pathetic attempt my dear, the regular sex threads on here get much more freaky.

SabrinaYork · 13/11/2010 16:30

I find the continual insidious inference that our husbands are the customers of prostitutes very tiresome - it smacks of going on the offensive because you are losing the arguement.

There is a HUGE chance that your husband is NOT seeing a prostitute, there is actually more chance that you are shagging his best mate behind his back.........

We are saying that our clients are NO DIFFERENT to..........

HappyWithLife · 13/11/2010 16:32

Sabrina....I back your opinions all the way, but P&P's post was inflammatory. She's caused a lot of damage to the argument.

NoDecentNamesLeft · 13/11/2010 16:39

I think many on here are missing the point on here of prostituteandproud.

Tell me if I am wrong, but are you implying your services include things that wives or partners would not perform in the bedroom. If so, I agree you did not put it very eloquently and did other working girls an injustice.

Not all prostitutes are quite as blatant in their talk but perhaps you felt you had to lower yourself to their level in order to be understood. I can understand that but please maintain your dignity when posting, after all the thread is almost over and you dont want to give out the idea that ALL working girls perform the services that you indeed do.

SabrinaYork · 13/11/2010 16:41

Yes I must admit I do agree, I not sure what to make of it, maybe an attempt to show also a side to the industry where the men want humility, thus squashing the myth that men are always the dominant ones in these transactions.
Could be a number of reasons for that post.
I will not dismiss her as not a prostitute though as some on the opposite side of the fence have attempted to do to posters that are not within the industry that hold opposing views.

Prostituteandproud · 13/11/2010 16:46

Sorry if i was blunt and rude but its no more than the other females on here have been towards girls in my profession.

Many guys have fetishes which their wives or partners do not know about and if they did they would not help them with eg crossdressing, what would the females on here do if their husbands wanted to dress in ladies lingerie, would they entertain it or condemn it? I entertain it and get paid for it and in no way is it lowering myself.

I do think that they are very silly though all believing that their partners are not the guys who come to visit me. Some men are very good liars and not all my clients are married.

HappyWithLife · 13/11/2010 16:48

Sabrina, I don't doubt she is what she says she is. I just disagree with the way she worded it. There are many narrow minded people who hold a certain opinion of the sort of woman a prostitute is; P&P's post has just added fuel to their fire. I am sure there are many on here who feel that just because I am not lambasting prostitutes I must be one. I am not. But I am also not a persecutor.

HappyWithLife · 13/11/2010 16:50

P&P, again I agree that there has been an incredible amount of nastiness on this thread - don't lower yourself to getting dragged into it.

escortandmum · 13/11/2010 16:54

To address a point brought up by several posters about your husbands, I get and understand why the notion of us having sex with them angers you, but at the end of the day the men who come to see us pay because they want anonymity.

We are told all sorts of reasons as to why they're there but in the end we are never to know if they are telling us the truth anyway. They may remove their wedding ring, they may not. We are not predatory females who actively seek to break up relationships, we advertise a service and our clients / punters choose us.
