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!

AF, see it how you will. The truth is there are a lot of men out there who visit prostitues, it may not be your husband, or any of the women who have posted on this thread, but there is a least one women who is a member of Mumsnet, who has a husband who visits prostitutes. However you want to dress my posts up or down, it is fact.

Lou4fun · 10/11/2010 19:47

Your questioning why I am here.

I have brought a bit of background and welcomed discussion. Furthermore I have offered to answer any genuine questions on prostitution so a few facts can be gained as opposed to the speculative ideas some may hold.

And to boot I am being very polite

loopylou6 · 10/11/2010 19:49

Oh no no, wasn't meant for you dragon, was aimed at Lou4fun :)

loopylou6 · 10/11/2010 19:51

My phones about to run out if battery so will check back later.

TheOleDragon · 10/11/2010 19:53

Oh that's ok then Smile... I'll leave the rest to lou4fun, she seems to be enjoying the battle Wink!!

Gosh I don't think it is an easy way to earn money! Think some women do though. Personally i cannot think of anything worse than having sex with someone who is old, smelly, ugly for cash.

As much as my jobs kills me sometimes, I would sooner earn money the legit way.

Prostitution is LEGAL in the UK

isthisanEA · 10/11/2010 20:05

TheOleDragon, your posts interest me because you are very eloquent and have calmly answered all questions and clarified misunderstandings.And stood up to people .

It is very interesting that your married clients don't consider it cheating, though I am not surprised.

I am more surprised women think there is no way on God's earth their husband would visit a prostitute. Who ARE the wives of ToDs clients, if not unsuspecting wives?

BillieH · 10/11/2010 20:07

lou for fun ?? No idea what you are talking about. Member of punternet? Hardly! What a bizarre thing to sayShock.

I shall read more then reply!

I would not join a forum discusssing prostition, what on earth would I have in common??

I shall read more of the more sane replies and get back.

AnyFucker · 10/11/2010 20:08

isthisanEA...do you think all the wives of men who use prostitutes are "unsuspecting" ?

Malificence · 10/11/2010 20:10

WTF? Hmm

Has there been an invasion from punternet?

BillieH · 10/11/2010 20:11

I absolutely would be against massage with a wank!! Jesus. Iasked my dp if he would pay for such a service? His reply was pay for a wank, ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?!

Lou4fun

You will find that although many members here are interested in the realities of prostitution, there are many who will shout you down and deny your voice. Although in your case, I wish them luck. Wink

ShirleyKnot · 10/11/2010 20:13

I'm interested in something I found earlier

isthisanEA · 10/11/2010 20:14

AF, of course not.
ToD would be the one to ask though, if you are interested in percentages

When i think of the number of dickheads i shagged in my 20's for free you wonder who the fool is, at least the prostitutes get something out of the deal.

brilliant Grin

AnyFucker · 10/11/2010 20:16

I see manda has joined us

do you have a red button that flashes on your pc when there is a prostitution thread on MN ?

serious question

AnyFucker · 10/11/2010 20:18

isthisanEA...how the hell would TOD know ?

do you think these men tell the truth to the working girls they use too ?

Mandamumu · 10/11/2010 20:18

Yes I do, it's like the Bat phone.

I take it you're pleased to see me, as always?

AnyFucker · 10/11/2010 20:21

as always, manda ?

seriously, do you lie in wait for prostitution threads ?

if you are a MN user, why don't you post on other threads ? I assume you have dilemmas about BF/FF, disabled parking spaces and which way to hang your toilet roll just like the rest of us ?

So it's entirely coincidental that post 235 on this punternet thread, by lindilala, says "Look out for a prostitution thread on mumsnet but I will have to namechange lol " Hmm

OFFS · 10/11/2010 20:25

I wouldn't call Lou4fun an invasion lol! Grin There's a link to this thread on a later page of the PN thread I linked previously.

TheOleDragon · 10/11/2010 20:29

Apart from me having to google the word 'eloquent'Blush

Thank you, for explaining your reason.

I am not as I have said trying to offend anyone, I am not a nasty person out to steal peoples husbands and pretend that by visiting me they are doing no wrong. To me it is a job, that pays well and suits me.

Ladies may I ask, how many of you enjoyed watching 'The Secret Diary of a Call Girl'?

Did you laugh and think it was funny. Whenever I meet ladies, some like you and they ask me what job I do, I am always honest, I am honest with my son, who is now 18 and my parents and whole social circle know what I do. I am not ashamed by it.

I promise you when I tell people of my profession, the whole group will be intrigued and ask me questions, tease me and be genuinely interested it. It seems to take over the topic of conversation. Whilst these ladies are laughing and asking me about the clients I see, they do not for one moment think that it could be one of their husbands. Of course I never suggest it to them, as I am in thier company and would never accuse anyone. However I once went to a childrens party, and recognised a lady who was their with her two children from a photo that her father had shown me of his two grandchildren and his daughter.

Recently a regular of mine asked about someone who is my cousin, because he recognised her childrens photos in my house. It turns out that his wife is best friends with my cousin. I have promised I would never say anything, and I won't. Even when we attend the same function that my cousin is throwing in March 2011.

Both these women, would not for one moment believe that their father, husband, brother etc would ever visit a prostitute.

Ladies I write honestly, from the heart, I am not here to cause any hurt or pain. I am like an open book and have just responded to the thread as you have.

BillieH · 10/11/2010 20:33

If i were lindilala, then I would say wouldnt I? She isnt supposed to be a prostitute is she? So why name change? Im utterly confused now!

Anyway, back to the thread. I agree, it does make us look stupid by saying we wouldn't know if our dp/dh was seeing prostitutes. Of course I would know(or eventually find out).

I don't really think that he would want to pay for sex anyway while in a partnership and he still gets it. maybe if he were single and couldnt pull. But Even then...

OP posts:
OFFS · 10/11/2010 20:38

OK, so it's entirely co-incidental.

You have a similar writing style, and lindi also said she doesn't post here much.

But I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

Not that I actually care anyway. :)

BillieH · 10/11/2010 20:39

Some of this is making me feel sick. If men are as deceptive as this and the statistics are to be believed, then I may as well pack up and leave my dp now!

Sorry I refuse to believe the bullshit from the hookers.
