This is a more accurate description of how prostitutes live, if you want to watch it. It's sad, dismal, and deeply disturbing.The video is graphic. Very graphic with some nudity and a lot of violence, so don't watch it if it's a trigger for you. http://youtu.be/9U_EqgBWnmc IP: Logged |

Maybe you could do that since you're a guy, but it's been scientifically proven that sex is different for men and women. When women have sex, it releases hormones that makes them attached to the person they are having sex with. This is why women are generally less promiscuous than men. It makes sense from an evolutionary viewpoint. When women have sex with someone they are either not attracted to or cannot connect to (for whatever reason), it creates a phenomenon in the brain called cognitive dissonance, which is not healthy for the woman. It basically means "mental stress". Why do you think so few women seek out male prostitutes? [/B]

The question isn't about whether we feel "threatened" by prostitutes AG, (which is ridiculous by the way, I couldn't care less what they do with their lives or how they earn their living. And neither would I desire a man who felt the need to go to one). The question was whether we could be friends with one or not. Yeah, I'd give them the time of day, I even did have a friend who told me that when she was at a low point in her life financially she had resorted to doing "tricks". I just felt sorry that she'd gone that low. Prostitutes do it because the money is (usually) quick and easy, tax-free and - if they are good at it - temptingly good, and often because they also have a "habit". No, I can think of much more interesting women to have as friends than prostitutes. lol IP: Logged |

That's true. I wouldn't consider them beneath me or anything, simply because that's not in my nature (and we all do things that aren't healthy or spiritual, in some way or another). I would probably not befriend any, but I don't mind treating them like the human beings that they are, and giving them directions to where they can find help and get back on their feet. IP: Logged |

Jesus pretty much wanted to see prostitutes get out of prostitution. He wanted to reform them. IP: Logged |

No but its very easy to see that alot of women do feel threatened by them by the way they talk about them.

Such as? Please elaborate. Also interested in what these women in real life have said AG since you've obviously done some market research on the matter.

If you are referring to me I do not feel threatened by prostitutes in any way. I'm not jealous of them or the attention they get. It's not good attention. My SO would be welcome use their services if he so wanted. If I was married it would just mean I would file for divorce the moment he filed for such moral bankruptcy. I don't feel "threatened" because I wouldn't want that life, and I certainly don't want that guy. IP: Logged |

Just making little comments like "their life must be empty" or "they must have issues" or something else along those lines. This is what women do when they feel threatened by other women, they belittle them but try to do it in a sneaky way. IP: Logged |

AG, I'm talking from personal experience knowing women who have been prostitutes. I have never felt threatened by their sexuality (got my own, thanks), or felt like they were some sort of rival in that sense. So do you want to know the details of what I've heard women say about prostituting themselves? As in, people I've known, not just a theory in my head about how they are. Some women may be jealous of women who work in the sex industry, but not any sane women that I'm aware of. Do you know any prostitutes personally? Have you ever known any? Or is this all just assumption on your part, or an extremely poorly thought out hypothesis? IP: Logged |

So its hunky dory for a girl to expect a guy to wine and dine her but its morally bankrupt for a girl to cut out all the bs and offer what the guy wants for cash ?IP: Logged |

Yes, I have interacted with escorts/prostitutes and they dont seem any different then other women i have met. I also know guys who have bought them and they are usually happy with the service they get and speak highly of the the girls. I even know an older guy who dated a prostitute for a time and gave her a place to stay and helped her study for college. I realize that some prostitutes are like you describe but at the same time I understand that feminists are in the business of painting women as victims and exaggerate this stuff to push their agendas.

LMAO. Wow that's screwed. What kind of women do you associate with? Personally I doubt most prostitutes' lives are "empty". They're motivated by money and financial need. I dunno, I've never known one personally other than the old friend who'd done it briefly. I wouldn't care to befriend one seriously and talk about the details of their work day thanks. lol If anything I think the jealousy might work the other way. And women will also get jealous of hot or attractive women who AREN'T prostitutes, it's just human nature. Prostitutes are usually considered as pretty sad by most normal women, you'll find. How can anyone who lets a stranger use their body, risking STDs, aids, physical abuse and God knows what else, have any self-respect? IP: Logged |

Most women?? If you mean using men for money/security, no I don't. I wouldn't want to be friends with them either. (I'm talking about gold-diggers by the way, not women who have a job but might not earn as much as their partner or are bringing up kids and have decided not to work for a while.) Believe it or not AG, there ARE good women in the world who don't exploit men financially, value their own independence and look after themselves. Quite a lot in fact. IP: Logged |
