Dann, I have to admit to being a little bit shocked at your attitude. I can't figure whether you're close to a prostitute who was severely damaged by the game, whether you're just a prude, or what the problem actually is, because you're just not making sense. You appear to have suspended what I'd seen as a great, critical and objective brain, to take up an extreme feminist position on this subject.
You pay the prostitute to overcome her revulsion. I don’t think the sadist (usually) pays the masochist.
This is tending me towards thinking that you're just a little lacking in factual detail on the subject.
I suggest that visits to prostitutes for the sake of fulfilling S&M/B&D fantasies are about 50:50. For every bloke who wants to get his bottom spanked, there's another john who wants to spank a schoolgirl.
And it's not paying to overcome a revulsion - women who find sex, male sex organs or anything to do with sex revolting don't become prostitutes, or if they do, they don't do it for long.
Is it good work to have sex with people that revolt you, but with an employer who earns money from your ‘services’ and in return sees to it that you don’t use drugs to overcome your revulsion and check up on you so you don’t pass on STDs to the johns?!
Revulsion, revulsion, everywhere. I'm beginning to wonder why?
Yes, paying somebody to overcome her unwillingness to have sex with you is what makes it disgusting.
Again, you're out with the straw. Who says prostitues are "unwilling"? (Improvement on "revolted", though) They're willing enough, they just take money beforehand.
But being in a situation where you would even consider having sex with somebody even though you don't feel like it, is the real problem.You assume a lot.
The only assumption I see is you assuming the girls are revolted by, or unwilling to do the sex bit.
Yes, having to disrobe and masturbate for somebody that you wouldn't otherwise want to disrobe and masturbate for is revolting.
Purely personal opinion. How can you even make that statement, wihtout adding the rider, "In my opinion"? Or did you suddenly become the voice of all human morality.
What if the prostitute is an exhibitionist? They do exist, you know.
So you actually think that your businessmen would enjoy hearing the truth? 'You are an ugly bastard, I hate what I'm doing with you so much that I have to take drugs, and when I yell that I'm coming, I'm only play-acting to boost your ego and make you come.
Crikey, I thought that what psychologists were for! I think they charge a bit less than hookers, so I doubt the businessman would be too happy if his hooker said it.
That's what you pay me for!' Or isn't that the "Simple sexual gratification" you are thinking of?
And what about the prostitutes who are turned on by some of their customers. I can relate numerous cases of hookers telling me about some bloke who just clicked and they had several actual orgasms during sex with a paying client. This isn't fantasy - it may not happen often, but it
does happen.
You seem to be constantly missing the point that (at least where legal prostitutes are considered) prostitutes will decline sex acts they aren't comfortable with.
No, I probably wouldn't. Leave your masturbation fantasies behind and get back to reality, Atheist!
Unfortunately, when you've sat around drinking Earl Grey tea with hookers while they knit cardigans as they wait for business, I'm pretty inured to it myself.
The sensible prostitute versus the drunken slapper! What a beautiful argument!
But does it happen?
Dann, the more I read and re-read your posts, the more I'm convinced that you have a personal agenda here. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think you're letting fallacy get in the way of facts, because like alcohol consumption, prostitution is not going away and seeking continuation of illegality is turning a blind eye to the plight of those women who have been coerced into the game. In a legal environment, those women have far greater protection that in an illegal one.
