It's generally a woman thing... they cannot imagine how a man could be happy if the man is not in a relationship.

Also, since this was female researcher, the guys were probably just telling her what she wanted to hear to try to get in her pants.

They're not paying for milk. They're paying for the cow to walk back to the pasture and not moo.

Electrify: As someone who hasn't been with a member of the opposite sex for a long time, and has had trouble attracting the company of any woman, let alone the ones I find most attractive, I have seriously considered hiring the company of an escort (escorts are legal here, off the street prostitutes are not). I think the reason why I haven't yet is because I see her as being a victim, and me furthering her suffering.

That said, if I ever do hire one, I am not going to kid myself that she will be the love of my life or anything like that. Simply put, I would like to have a physical moment with a member of the opposite sex, and because I am having trouble developing the emotional connection which makes said member want to join me in said moment, I will simply resort to other means to engage in consensual intercourse.

If prostitution was more socially accepted, I wonder how it would affect gender relations. For example, some people suggest that women can get sex any time they want it. While I don't believe this to be true, there is no question that it is much easier for the majority of women to find a partner than it is for men - whether it be for a casual encounter or romantic relationship. If men could simply buy sex without any legal or social stigma attached, essentially getting it 'any time they wanted,' I wonder if it would even the game between the sexes.

Sounds like you need to do some serious "you-work" first, fella.

Hint: Most women care a lot more about a man's attitude than what he looks like. Wanna make yourself desirable and attractive to women? Figure out what's wrong with your attitude and outlook and then change it.

ACTUALLY change it, not just pretend. Pretending is manipulation, and manipulation of people is wrong.

IPhone FAIL.

I was going to say that the hookers - at least the good ones - will encourage a john to fall in love with them, as it creates a substainable source of revenue for her. But in reality, she's about as emotionally invested in her John as she is her coffee maker.

Moral of the story - don't trust hookers.

kaimaru: Having a teen age daughter and being close to my three early 20 nieces, I can say with certainty that they would ignore any awareness training about things they could care less about.

When she turned 18, my youngest niece began nude modeling. I talked with her about a little of my past (not much though) and tried to discourage her from starting down that path, and tried to at least encourage her to avoid going any further than tasteful art-nudes and glamour photography, but yeah- she ignored me completely.

kaimaru: Between them and their friends (of both sexes), the bottom line is simply what they selfishly want.

And that is the real problem with people these days...or really of any days. Selfishness. Refusal to show even the slightest degree of empathy or to consider how your actions affect others. Admittedly that isn't everyone and again selfishness is as old as time, but it does seem to be becoming increasingly accepted as an alright thing as of late. It is not, and it is truly the source of all evil in this world.

kaimaru: I can't see how awareness would be anything but a useless jesture to the current young adults today.

It probably is, but by God we still have to try. If just one kid becomes a better, happier, healthier, more emotionally and spiritually mature person because of it, then it was worth the trouble.

precious_crotchflake: Yes, I agree there are a lot of subtle consequences in every action. Sometimes it's damned if you do damned if you don't. But I think when it gets to the point of being SO overblown, as it is when it comes to women in the culture, we need to step back and not pretend that "let everyone do what they want" is the final answer. So much of the arguments around prostitution rely on "consent! No one gets hurt!" When actually there are consequences that are harder to see than the stereotypical drug addicts, etc.

While I certainly don't feel that "everyone should do whatever they want," I still definitely believe that people should be allowed the freedom to make their own decisions regarding their own bodies, beliefs, attitudes, and sexuality. Again, free-will is paramount. Nothing is more important, especially when it comes to one's own body. It is generally the only thing in life that we have any real control over, and we shouldn't give that control up.

I certainly agree with you on the consequences of prostitution (or any wanton sexuality for that matter), as it goes far beyond mere drug-addiction or STDs. The true, deep consequences of these things are (as we've pretty much already covered) that society begins to view women a solely sexual objects instead of valuing them as thinking, feeling, frequently hurting human being on par with men. It also instills a view in men that our only purpose is to chase women and to fark. But again, the great thing about freedom and free will is that it gives us the opportunity to show these people love and compassion, and to try to help them find a better path.

Totalitarian rules against sexuality aren't the answer, and in fact they create a vacuum that is frequently filled by evil, opportunistic, manipulative people who are able to use these women because the women are unable to protect themselves by going to authorities, etc.

70 USD in Bogota will get you this fresh 20 year for 2 hours, 250 you get here for 12.






You can get an 8 ball of booger sugar for about ten. So you could throw yourself one hell of a party.

precious_crotchflake: D_Evans45: precious_crotchflake: she comes across as nothing less than an insecure, "women who don't agree with prostitution being totally cool are all horrible feminazis out to enslave us all with their Puritanism" twit.


What about prostitution isn't "totally cool"? Putting the worlds oldest profession on the black market was a recipe for disaster. If nobody is being harmed, you shouldnt give a flying fu k what 2 consenting adults want to do with their bodies.

Oh knock it off. I can tell you're mystified by the "consenting adults!!! blah blah no one gets hurt!!" simplified B.s. of the Maggie Mcneill sycophants. It has to do with commodifying women's bodies and sexuality and don't farking play stupid thinking there are no problems with that. K?

So, it's okay when women do it to snag a man for marriage, but not okay when they do it as a profession.

precious_crotchflake: sex will be a WHOLE lot better, and prob more plentiful, for everyone when we all cut out the b.s. of women being commodities and men being meal tickets. go for something better. it may be harder, but at least you're not continung the desperate whoredom of both genders.
