Hypocrisy on MN

Been having a look at some of the threads on here....

There are some of you who seem to be tempted to have an affair - to put it bluntly, to fuck outside of your marriage/partnership and are asking for advice. Whatever that given advice may be, the desire, the temptation is still there.

Do you care to acknowledge that your SO may have similar thoughts....if he chooses to have an affair he may invest real emotion in the arrangement; alternately the other woman may become a bit of a 'bunny boiler'.

All a man is doing in seeing a prostitute is yielding to the same temptations that women also are vulnerable to, but ensuring that there is NO threat to the status quo of their marriage.

Prostitution SAVES marriages

Just probably? -I'm despairing of the level of intelligrence on this site if that is the case.

How very dare you...i'm not any old sort you know...!Wink

memoo · 13/11/2010 22:48

whats the level of intelligence like over on puntersnet?

LynetteScavo · 13/11/2010 22:48

Maybe we should give EscortKarin a chance to have her say.

Seeing as we have an "escort" in our midsts, ready for a discussion, maybe we could use it as an opportunity to ask a few questions, and get in insight into a way life we may other wise not have.

Can't think of any qyestions my self, right now. Confused

And no, I certainly don't think prostitutes save marriages. I do think men convince themselves that's true, though.

kyotokate · 13/11/2010 22:49

intelligrence I want some!!!!!!!

OracleInaCoracle · 13/11/2010 22:50

actually, a man seeing a prostitute brings him to the same level as an animal. it shows no restraint or self control. not every man is driven by urges they cant control (oddly, the argument used in many rape cases - I just couldnt stop) asking for advice about being unhappy and considering an affair is very different to actually having one, and by reducing sex down to a basic animal urge makes a mockery of real relationships forged by intimacy, committment and joy in each other. so there you go OP, sex with a prostitute is not ok, it doesnt save marriages, thats just the lie you tell yourself as some filthy man grunts on top o you before going home to his wife and family, so you can take the money and feel that you retain some soul.

AitchTwoOh · 13/11/2010 22:50

i'm not clear on the hypocrisy element, could you explain further?

booyhoo · 13/11/2010 22:51

OP are you saying that because women think about having affairs, men are justified in using prostitutes? do you think the two equate?

FunnysInTheGarden · 13/11/2010 22:52

sorry PP I'll accept your offer with good grace. How much are you paying?

EK you sound like a 'english is not my first language speaking woman of the night'

'I am despairing' sounds like a translation from another mother tongue

AitchTwoOh · 13/11/2010 22:52

yes, that's the causal nexus i'm having trouble with, booyoo.

PeppermintPasty · 13/11/2010 22:54

wellBlush, i was rather expecting a freebie, just to get me started...i could throw in some chocolate santas that i bought rather too early, as an added incentive.

Kewcumber · 13/11/2010 22:55

Is there a question in that OP? Or should there be a "discuss" at the end like a university essay?

Why do you care what an group of mothers think?

I'm single so currently really don't give a shit whether prostitution saves marriages but when I have suffered form it in a previous relationship I have just felt cheated on - sex with someone outside a committed relationship isn;t what I signed up for. If it was and I was having sex on the isde then fine, if not then doesn't matter whether they're paid or not, its deceit.

LoopyLoops · 13/11/2010 22:57

It would be hypocritical if people on here were advocating going and finding a man to buy sex from, but as far as I'm aware that hasn't happened.

A marriage that involves prostitution is a failed marriage. It conveys such little respect for the other partner and for sex in general, that a marriage is unlikely to ever recover. Affairs are difficult to recover from, but it is possible because the differences are thus:
It is natural to see someone outside of your marriage and be attracted to them. You learn about them and grow to like their personality. It is weak and wrong, but sometimes people cannot draw the line and go on to have an affair.
With prostitution, the offender does not strike up a relationship with a person in particular, they simply make the decision that what they have at home isn't good enough. This is not respectful to humans on the whole.

Can you see the difference?

FunnysInTheGarden · 13/11/2010 22:57

a freebie PP have you any idea how expensive Christmas is????? Chocolate santas just don't cut it I'm afraid. Throw me a crisp £50, sit on my face and tell me that you love me, and we have a deal

DioneTheDiabolist · 13/11/2010 23:00

OP, you say that no one has responded to your original post, but I did. I have asked to show me some research supporting your suppostition. We are all entitled to our opinions and as this is simply yours, the posters here are just as entitled to what they think as you are to what you think. It sounds like you are pissed that no one here agreed with you, yet you knew when you posted (see previous prostitution threads) that would be the case.

My question to you now is why you sought such opinions knowing they would be disagreeable to you?

wukter · 13/11/2010 23:00

I'm inclined to think you are a man also, not least because you are from Punternet, as evident on the current prostitution thread.

You seem to think Sex With Someone - anyone - Different is what causes affairs, when in fact it's more about an attraction to a particular person. Your analogy is more suited to one-night-stands, no strings kind of encounters, which is pretty much the same as going to a prostitute. Aside from all the exploitation, imbalances of power issues etc, which I'm sure you're not ignorant of.

So no, prostitutes don't save marriages.

emmyloulou · 13/11/2010 23:00

Oh I do wish the whores from PN would fuck off.

Their sanctimonious bollocks that they are the Mother Theresa and the saviour of all rather than being skanks they are is getting boring.

AnnieBeansMum · 13/11/2010 23:03

Your logic is flawed though. Women on a forum contemplating having an affair does not equate to a man actually visiting a prostitute and cheating. Whilst it is horrible to even considering having an affair, it is entirely different to actually commit adultery.

Flawed logic - therefore no hypocrisy.

Akkad · 13/11/2010 23:06

Sure, my DH may have thoughts about having an affair.
As long as they stay in his head, I don't give a shit.
If they dont - well, don't let the door hit you on the arse on your way out.

Prostitution saves marriages? Hmm I wouldn't know, since mine hasn't yet failed, but if it does I'll let you know how my male escort fucks.

mrsbigw · 13/11/2010 23:10

OP, if you are spending your Saturday night off thinking about work maybe you should try & develop other interests outside of the job?
