Made me fink

Which kind of 'sexworkers' are you talking about, punter?

So, you like watching women being killed as decoration in games. Women shutting up. And wanking into women who don't want you to be doing that, but have to let you, because you've paid for it. What a catch you are!

I want to know about the new guy's experience in prostitution (gah, I can't find his name, but it really doesn't matter does it). I am sure that a male experience of either being a prostitute or being a john would be of enormous interest to us.

So gowan new guy, tell us about your experiences, either as a prostitute or as a john .

re OP, I stopped reading when I saw the source for Q1 was Melissa Farley who (as you may or may not know) was kicked out of the APA following a complaing about her "research" on sexwork and used to have a page full of rape "jokes" about sexwork on her "research" website. (Which she removed after it got negative publicity when it came to the attention of sexworkers).

You stopped thinking, more like.

If you were reading a list of "facts"on something and the first one used the Daily Mail as a source, would you continue reading to the end?

Or tell us how much we know or don't know about prostitution?"

How many years experience do you have selling sex then?

Depends if I had a vested interest in ensuring a supply of women for me to wank into or if I was actually interested in learning. So, you'd be the former then.

buwegevove - no, you just stopped thinking.

Probably a long time ago. It went, along with your humanity, when you first became a pimp/punter.

oh thank goodness. a couple of days without a punter on here explaining things properly - there was me thinking how much they were missed. what a relief one has turned up in the nick of time

If I wanted to learn I wouldn't want to "learn" from some person who gets evicted from the APA and who thinks her "research" website isn't complete without a list of rape "jokes".

"4: Consider the prominent male voices in support of prostitution. Are you comfortable supporting an industry fueled almost solely by the demand of anti-feminist and openly misogynistic men?"

And the evidence to support this claim is a link to an article written by one guy??

What about all the sexworkers with years of experience selling sex who speak out against criminalisation (or part criminalisation such as the nordic model)?

1. Ah the "invisible man" thing by Nia Thomas who took the time to wade through well over 100,000 reviews on PN to cherry pick a couple of dozen and then attempts to portray those as "representative". I just knew the invisible man would be in there somewhere, but I'm surprised there wasn't anything using The Guardian's Julie Bindel as a source.

Yes yes punter, we know. Only men who want to rape women for money should be allowed to speak.

You've been here a long time, punter. You raise the same points over and over - all of which have been argued at length on other threads.

Do you ever actually read replies to your posts? Or do you just come here for the laffs?

yes yes feminist. But what I want to know is how many years experience you have selling sex?

Ooh, "Feminist"

How long have you been selling sex?

I know, only radical feminists who aren't sexworkers (and whose only knowledge of the sex industry is what they have read online from Farley/Bindel/some feminist blog) are allowed to speak.

"I asked first"

Yeah - but you're a punter. You buy sex from women who don't actually want sex with you. Which makes you a bit of a loser.

Can you point out where I posted that?

Yes yes, we're all sunk, you're right. Only men who pay to rape women really know how badly they exploit those women.

You're a punter. You don't get a say.

HTH

You enjoy having sex with women who don't want to have sex with you, punter?

Can't imagine being that sad - did you have a very entitled childhood? Or perhaps women you like have not felt the same about you? SO you buy other women to have power over them? Or does your wife just not fancy you anymore?

You're a feminist. You want to dictate what other woman can and can't do.

Topless modelling??? Prostitutiton??? Ban them!!! No need to ask what the adults who actually work in those jobs think, just pass a law to ban them!

You're a punter - you want sex with women that don't want it with them. That's rape.

I am wounded. No no really. A man who thinks it's fine to buy consent from women who have few choices is totally schooling me.

Oh, no, wait a minute. He's a punter. And one who neither knows not cares about the issues. Plus ca change.....

If it's "rape" then why is it (paid for sex between consenting adults) legal in the UK? (as well as much of Europe, Canada, Mexico, most of S.America, Aus and NZ)?

And yet, he takes the time to come and educate us, Chaos. He's just tooooo kind.
