Anyway, my comment is completely off topic, but all the same you have a good point.

They are selling their bodies, looks and sexual attractiveness to faceless strangers who watch their movies or see their ads.

Perhaps you peeps cannot visualize the need in your own capacity but there's a large segment that could certainly utilize these services.
Charlie Sheen has paid thousands for pro's. You telling me he can't get chix? So therefore he has to pay big money to get it 'coz he's a loser? Uh huh.

There's also lots of guys and prolly gals too, who just want a quickie and that's it for now. Roll over and get to sleep. You've all heard that one before. Sound like someone's getting used just for sex? Would a prostitute complain about it? No, because you paid, got what you wanted and now she's gone.

The girl can go into a bar and get it easy, sure, if she looks halfway unlike Quasimodo, right? Believe me some girls want to pick up the phone and get a quickie also. No strings and with a total stranger too. Trust me on this one.

hey if someone wants a quickie from a prostitute.
that's fine.
if that's what you're looking for... hey, you're the one
taking the risks.
i don't think anyone is judging the a person who
seeks sex for hire...
we're debating on wheter it should be legal or not.

Afterward, she could go about her regular. Would that be empowering?

this is an interesting twist on things...
when it comes to viewing it the OTHEr way around...
and i would say yeah... it kinda is empowering...

when it comes to sex and desire...
you actually speak of my own experience...
the difference is... i never felt a need to have to pay...
since its easy for females to get it for free...
but yeah... the idea is still there...
hooking up with guys
for an hour or so... a quickie...
due to out of desire...
knowing i can go back home afterwards...
and go about my regular business...

and if the only reason i ended up feeling negative
about it all... was how i ended up perceiving myself...
but when i dig deep down inside myself...
when i look back of all my experiences...
they're experiences... i currently openly talk about...
just cuz... i dont see my own sexuality...
my own desires, my experiences i've encountered...
as something to look down upon...

but than again... i'm also a manic depressive...
which i believe has prolly played a huge role when it comes to my own heightened, increased, sexual drive... and my unordinary experiences when it comes to the numerous men that i've been with... but yeah... it makes me question sometimes... when it comes to regular prostitutes... how many of them... may also suffer a mental illness too... not to stigmatize, label them... but its a thought that just crossed my mind...

but yeah, this situation puts an interesting twist on things...
prostitution being seen the OTher way around...

Shoot me please!

Lol.

Is it really easier for women to get it whenever they want to? Don't women also have to sometimes settle?

[mrazntre]

This is one of those grey area things because 1) you don't hurt society by doing so 2) you don't improve society by doing so.

but at least you get your nut off.

I think that the main problem with prostitution is that it is related to pimps and drugs.

Tapestry Babe,

I've seen a couple of your posts alluding to these encounters. I am always fascinated by these stories. You must share them sometime in a PM?

my earlier post was tongue-in-cheek. but as tapestrybabe said, it's not wholly off the mark.

On the other hand, I read an article about 'John' school here in San Fran, dealing with and educating Johns about the exploitation and oppression of women.
It stated how most of the typical streetwalkers (lowest rung in the hooker hierarchy) hate what they do and have almost all been the victims of sexual abuse as children. Their feelings of worthlessness translates into walking the streets for the cheapest amount of money and exposure to the most danger.

Most prostitutes were sexually abused.

Have you been reading up on this?
Then again, the higher echelons of hookerdom have hot young women who actually enjoy their 'careers' as lucrative and empowering according to them. Many claim that they cannot make a fraction of what they earn in such a short amount of time. And this brings into play that a lot of them get paid well for non sexual services like shopping, going to dinner, the symphony, things along those lines. A non sexual escort who provides company and eye candy for the client.

I'd like to see a statistic on this...

[nola]

Child Abuse Statistics from http://www.pokrov.org/aboutabuse/abo...tml#Statistics.

There are 30 abuse and neglect cases for every 1000 people

Average age of a child victim is 7 years of age.

In 1985 an estimated 113,000 children were reported with sexual maltreatments.

Experts estimate that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 8 boys under the age of 18 will be involved in some form of forced sexual experience with an adult.

80% of prison inmates have been abused as children

More than 80% of all prostitutes and hustlers were sexually abused as children
