Ever been with, or been, a prostitute?

Question answer: no, not even tempted. I'd just be embarrassed.

Just dropped in to say that this thread is really, really skeezing me out.

(Reason I'm on this thread = I dare myself to read all sorts of things these days.)

gotta be more to that story, like how did you find out? Did she tell you before or after? What was your reaction? Inquiring minds wanna know, etc., etc.

Revive! There's got to be at least one ILXer who'll admit to hiring a real prostitute for real sex. None of this, "I gave a prostitute a cupcake" or "I dated an ex-prostitute" stuff.

Why don't you start a poll?

ILX0r you think is most likely to have been to a prostitute?

;-)

Which ILXor is most likely to have offered another money for sex?

As per usual, Gear always delivers.

When was the turning point where visiting a prostitute became socially unacceptable and embarrassing even 'among the boys'?

Former boss of mine once told me he had slept with several hundred prostitutes while in the Far East. He was proud of this as, in his mind, it didn't count as cheating on his wife while he was away from her.

The shitty thing about this thread is that it wd be one thing if we were likely to put our money where our collective mouth is and be like "HAY SEX WORKERS DESRVE RESPECT TOO, THAT'S COOL, SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE" and let it go, but the not-at-all disguised prurience I get from thread/revive sez to me that any admission here is going to be a downward spiral w/ sniggering and judgements made. So fuk all that.

XPOSTwas it ever that acceptable? There is some reference in an ancient Greek text to meeting a friend as you come out of a brothel being one of the most embarrassing things that could ever happen to you, and this in a society where prostitution was a very accepted part of social life.

I have oddly started wondering whether it might just be possible for a prostitute-client relationship not to be hideously exploitative and depressing, in the way that it is possible to have polite relationships with service industry people generally, but I kind of doubt it.

He was proud of this as, in his mind, it didn't count as cheating on his wife while he was away from her.

proud of paying for it (regardless of the being married thing)? whatta freak

I've been sniggered at by a prostitute.

No, I think this happened in the 20th Century.

There used to be (well, still is, in some quarters) the idea that nice girls *don't* have sex at all. Therefore visiting prostitutes was an item for manliness, showing that you were having sex. I think that it's much more acceptible these days, the idea that even nice girls can and do have sex - with the advent of free love, as it were, the idea of having to *pay* for sex became more demeaning than the cache of having sex.

Someone who used to be a prostitute in Coventry wrote me a bunch of letters when I was 18 and in university, basically saying she'd fallen in love with me. This would be one thing but we'd been in each other's company once, for about three hours, with several other people, loading stuff out of a removal van. I politely brushed her off and then she got married via a lonely hearts ad I think

Perhaps even on ILX there is too much public shame in admitting this.

I think this depends on what you mean by "among the boys". I think in some circles it still isn't exactly socially unacceptable - cf Wayne Rooney and friends, or some groups of City boys.

No, I think this happened in the 20th Century.

Yes, but hardly recently

i was propositioned, not once but twice, standing outside of one of my college dorms (yes, indcidently, on the corner. it was apparently a high-traffic area for that kind of thing.) so while i've never been a whore, i've at least looked like one.

I was once offered money for a blowjob on Charing Cross Road. I politely declined. And walked away very quickly.

I once hired a fake prostitute for real sex :((

and another time, a real prostitute but for fake sex :(((((

xpost to matt

Years ago I found this site by following a link from somewhere else and it completely fucking blew my mind. www.punternet.com. There are A LOT of people out there visiting prostitutes. Link probably NSFW.

Also, engaging in sexual acts with a stripper counts. I personally know at least 3 men who have done this and doubt any of them would answer yes if asked if they'd been with a prostitute.

But I thought more men were visiting prostitutes these days? Or maybe they're just more honest about it? Or maybe I made the whole thing up?

NRQ - giving.

Also, I didn't really need a tenner that much.

but this was a tenner plus a wanger

one piece colonel's meal

It's been suggested there are more prostitutes in the UK these days, because of illegal people trafficking from the continent in the last 10 years. Guess this means the demand was there to meet this and/or has risen with it. Could all be spurious tho.

I reckon it's more acceptable and more common than, say, fifteen years ago

conversely the conditions seem to have worsened for the girls brought over then forced into it. read this article and got really depressed/angry.

i've paid money to have sexual intercourse with a prostitute.

OK, that's one of the most depressing things I've read in a long time.

I guess I was wrong.

i'm not being facetious but i think prostitution has become more formalized/professionalized if you will in modern times. i'm thinking of hogarth's london as the comparison.

Yeah Re: escorts versus prostitutes on the street.

with the advent of free love, as it were, the idea of having to *pay* for sex became more demeaning than the cache of having sex.

There are still circles where it's a point of bragadacchio - city boys, stereotypically the military. There was a time, even into the 20th century (maybe the turning point was post-WWII?), when it was acceptable or common for men of all walks of life to visit a prostitute to make themselves men.

But now, even if it's more common, it's generally not something men will be proud of or joke about, because needing to frequent a prostitute for actual sex (rub 'n' tugs perhaps a different issue) is seen as pathetic, there must be something deficient about you.

There was a time, even into the 20th century (maybe the turning point was post-WWII?), when it was acceptable or common for men of all walks of life to visit a prostitute to make themselves men.

My sense is that brothers used to be what titty bars are now -- questionable but acceptable.

brothels, not bruthas

Wow, what a Freudian slip!

Bro's before ho's.

Those rogue apostrophes are the most offensive thing on this thread.

i used to live with two 'escorts.' i'd drive them to their calls and wait and take them home. they usually just stripped or gave handjobs. sad, messed up girls. it was a low point in my life, being around that.

Andi should come forth with details.

oh stone gato

then again, maybe people shouldn't admit this in public. it comes across as extremely creepy. xpost

the "i don't get people's hangups" excuse just, i dunno. it sounds like typical sex offender language.

I dunno, isn't that the logical extension of the majority (for ILX, anyway) sex-positive position? Personal choices aside, I suspect we mostly agree that sex should be safely (for both parties) available for hire, if there's a market for it in the first place?

Sex offender? Er.

That makes it sound like he's out molesting 8-year-old girls.

Well, there is the George Carlin argument: "Selling's legal. Fucking's legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?"

yeah, i dunno. legal or not, guys who go to prostitutes would still give me crepe vibe.

Which is exactly why I thought it was a stupid question for ILX, b/c enough people are going to be judging each o. based on the responses that you're not likely to get an actual interesting discussion from it.

yes, exactly, that is what it sounds like!

You can make a reasonable argument that prostitution is wrong, exploitative, and sexist, but it's far more tenuous to attempt to equate molestation with (soliciting) prostitution.

i'm just saying pedos use the same language to justify what they do.

They're on the same waterslide, eh?

"Babies are legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't fucking babies legal?"

Yeah, bell, but I wd use the exact same language to defend lots of things from people who I think are wrong...? It's not like pedophiles have the market cornered on disagreeing w/ people about their opinions.

Where's nabisco when you need an OTM?

Ie "I don't understand people's hang-ups about shooting guns/swimming in deep water/heights. I've enjoyed shooting/swimming/free-climbing the few times I've done it."

Bill Magill = NS? (hi 1PE!)

Yeah, multiple x-posts, I'm not on that waterslide. I do enjoy sex though. I've bought illegal drugs before too, god forbid.

Sorry I don't meet your standards, bell labs.

I suspect we mostly agree that sex should be safely (for both parties) available for hire, if there's a market for it in the first place?

I just don't know that I agree with that.

see, laurel those things are different, because they don't involve paying someone to have (most likely very exploitative) sex, and therefore don't make me shudder in revulsion.

you're both right, in a way, i think: Laurel in theory and Bell in practice.

Yeah, well, everyone's lines are different -- I've had some one-night stands that I might as well have gotten paid for, altho I didn't. So...I'm not gonna judge on this little data.

I'm still laughing at the concept of the crepe vibrator.

...speaking of very exploitative. xp

yeah, i guess that's where i draw the line. i'm not usually shrill or moral about things, honest.

xp to Dan - It's very thin.

I know! I'm sort of surprised, actually. xp

Well, you're entitled to that opinion. I've done it three times, and twice it was legal in the place I happened to be. If you don't like it, don't do it, but don't judge people who may feel differently.

Have you ever seen the Cathouse series on HBO? Those women aren't being "exploited", they're raking in the dough, and seem to love what they do.

xpost

The thought of sex with a prostitute gives me the willies for personal reasons... I've had perfectly consensual sex with strangers before, and the sex was awful, even though nobody was getting paid and nobody was telling lies. It's a bad feeling. It makes me feel bad, personally. A prostitute would make me feel *horrible*.

Those women aren't being "exploited", they're raking in the dough, and seem to love what they do.

Uh-huh. Just keep telling yourself that, big boy.

Sure, will do.

Empirically speaking, the women featured on "Cathouse" are raking in the dough (presuming that they aren't lying about their take-home cut) and they do give the impression that they are enjoying what they are doing (though they could be lying). The logical fallacy lies in assuming that the Cathouse situation is the norm, not the exception.

My belief is that prostitution ought be legal and that prostitutes ought have rights encoded in law to protect them from at least some forms of exploitation. And I don't deny that prostitution is exploitative, but then, so are most jobs, although perhaps to a lesser degree, depending on yr viewpoint. The best argument I've heard against this is that if prostitution is legal, then for example, welfare-to-work programs would have to count prostitution as an acceptable form of employment transition, coercing women into prostitution who otherwise wouldn't have gone there. While exploitation is bad, it's a fact of life. Coercion, though, shouldn't be.

Speaking for my own preferences, I would never have visited a prostitute, even before I got married, 'cause you can't pay someone to like you.

> you can't pay someone to like you.

Try me.

I think the Cathouse income can be misleading, because I gather that most of those women only work a few weeks out of the year (because banging strange men routinely probably takes a heavy toll) and so the earnings are middle-class, but it's not like the 'courtesans' are all earning six figures.

Yah, it would be less exploitative if it were LEGAL/SAFER, fer chrissake. NB: I said "less", not "not".

the constant "I LOVE SEX, I HAVE AN ORGASM WITH EVERY SHRIMP-DICKED DRUNK JOE WHO COMES IN" refrain is probably the most tiresome part of that show, next to the douchebag owner

Agreed.

Like I said upthread, I don't have too many hang-ups about sex. I never bought into a lot of the puritan bullshit they feed you in this country about sex between consenting adults. And if there's money involved, so be it. Who cares?

you can't pay someone to like you.

What else comes with this package, Oily?

Okay that is appallingly stupid reasoning. Legalizing prostitution would open sex workers up to a ream of legal protextions and a slew of legal recourses that they could fall back on if their place of employment broke basic labor laws.

Also, and more importanlty, legalizing prostitution does not magically make all other jobs go away!

"legal protextions" is when you Bluetooth someone a restraining order

I'm not quite sure I can parse that counter-argument, HI DERE. Am I missing some sarcasm?

This is the first I've heard of "Cathouse" but it sure sounds depressing.

personally speaking, I'm fairly certain I would feel utterly empty and skeeved out if I were to visit a prostitute. Hell, I felt that way the time I got a lap dance at strip club during a particularly drunken, debauched (for me, anyway) bachelor party. CAn't speak for others though.

I just can't imagine having sex with someone who didn't, on some level, have genuine affection for me.

1. If prostitution were legal, it would exist in a form different from how it exists today, ergo condemning it as a viable legal work alternative based on how it works as an illegal enterprise is intellectually dishonest.

2. Creating opportunity in sector X does not remove jobs from sector Y. Opening up a paper factory in a town that contains a thriving law practice does not, as a consequence, decrease the number of available law jobs in town. By similar reasoning, legalizing prostitution does not reduce the number of available waitstaff positions in nearby restaurants.

Ugh, this is so true. Ugh.

I wasn't actually condemning prostitution as "viable legal work", as you might have observed from the sentence above that argument. I was merely saying it was a good argument, not that it carried the force of science.

I'm not sure I said anything at all about removing jobs from sector Y. I don't subscribe to the fixed-employment-resource theory of economics.

Confessions of a College Callgirl:

I am a tangle of contradictions. I am not ashamed of my choices and I will fully defend mine or anyone else’s right to make them. But when you ask me if you should do this? My immediate instinct is a loud, desperate no. It’s hard for me to write you back. I can’t make your decisions for you, but I am scared for you. I just want you to know that for every dollar you make there is a price. It’s up to you to decide if that price is worth paying.

More to the point: I brought up the welfare-to-work argument simply as a point of thought-departure. I'm not actively interested in pursuing it, because I think it's ultimately incorrect.

Yeah yeah sorry, I was thinking more about countering people's squickness than about presenting a scientific defense. I mean, I'm pretty sure the minds of those who are grossed out aren't going to be changed by an economics lecture, however enlightening the lecture might be in its own right.

Nah, no harm. I think thread is increasingly pointless, esp if our one confesser is a troll to start with.

One? Andi confessed, didn't he?

She. And she's about as dependable as the other one.

Wow, I was hoping there would be something here that turned my stomach a little more. And calling your sex partner 'Mommy' or 'Daddy' certainly fits the bill!

No. No, I don't love it when they call me 'Big Poppa.'

OMG c'mon now. Do not use this thread to pass judgement on people's personal sex practices, okay? Jesus christ.

I remember andi doing the suicide troll thing, but I thought he was a he and that maybe trollishness had subsided.

How are you going to coerce people into doing something they wouldn't normally do without removing the opportunity to do something else?

Furthermore, if you reread what I wrote, I never attributed that argument to you; I attacked your assertion that it was a good argument and stated why I disagreed.

Massive xposts but if everyone else gets to bask in the inanity of their own masturbatory typing, I do too.

I am going to be really disappointed if ILX turns into that guy I used to know who said "But I can't dump (my really stupid girlfriend), how will I ever again find someone who'll dress up in little costumes??" First of all, that is the least of your problems. Second, if they sell it in Frederick's of Hollywood, it's not that kinky.

Andi isn't a she, he's a goth-boy.

i know a girl who appeared on an episode of real sex. she was my roomate for about a year and...definitely had some sex addiction issues, would go to those types of parties and troll craigslist casual encounters, and be fine and not feel any guilt and be confident that she was having fun. i never judged her for this, even though it would make me really squeemish if i thought about it to much.

to my knowledge, she only had sex for money a few times, and after each one got extremely depressed and violent towards friends. even though she chose to do it and had so much sex that she "might as well get paid for it" it still made her feel x330243 worse about herself than a casual encounter/one night stand where no money was exchanged.

i know that doesn't apply to everyone, but i think there are usually awful consequences to your psyche/idea of self when you receive money for sex, and the whole idea of getting off on that is a bit creepy to me. i think maybe there should be shame involved for men who pay for sex, cos there definitely is shame, publicly and privately, for the women.

ILX loves you, never fear, whether you dress up in little costumes or not.

(xpost) I think it's the whole "getting used" bit; I know singers who are violently opposed to getting paid to sing because they feel it would ruin their enjoyment of their art.

Are there two Andis? Because those WDYLL photos were...kind of clearly a girl, I thought?

Are you thinking andi mags, Laurel?

(xpost) Haven't you seen "Silence of the Lambs"?

Not a troll. And I don't know what nude spock means. I don't really think I have anything to "confess".

x-posts

I think that for the most part, we can agree that adults should be allowed to engage in consensual sex acts for money given certain protections and restrictions.

But agreeing to that isn't the same thing as agreeing that prostitution, the way it's put into practice right now, (certainly in the US) is O.K. I think most of us can agree that current (mostly illegal and "underground" prostitution) is far too exploitative, abusive and/or physically and emotionally harmful to the prostitutes to be "O.K." for people to visit.

In fact, those two positions (in theory, prostitution is O.K.; the way is it currently practiced, it is not) in a lot of ways lead into one another, i.e., prostitution is crepey the way it is now (illegal), so maybe we should legalize it.

bill "nude spock" means, do you like to have sex with prostitutes while you wear vulcan ears, y/n?

Hey, I'm not stupid or insane (much), I know that pet names and fantasies are harmless. I know that fulfilling fantasies through role-playing is harmless. But still, when fantasy role-playing gets into simulations of pedophilia and incest I get squicked, and I said so. I'm pretty sure I didn't say anyone should be shamed by their fantasies, or go to jail for them, or even care what I think. So, if this is a big problem for you, please give me your arguments in favor of pedophilia and incest. Or climb a tree. Whatevs.

Oh, Dan, you're not crazy. The economics convo at least made sense.

prostitution is like the drug war: it should be legal but that doesn't mean it's 'good,' just that it's hugely more damaging and expensive to police than any real utility we get back by doing so, to no real effect.

Stand by that 7 years later. 110%

Unrelated, but how did Amsterdam get the hooker capital of the world reputation in the US when prostitution is essentially (or explicitly) legal in much of Europe and other cities have comparable red light districts?

Better Chamber of Commerce.

My best friend and I were only in college a few weeks when we got curious, bored and bored enough to call those numbers on the back page. We thought it could be cool having that gorgeous hunk of man pictured in the ad come to our dorm as we had no male visitors and every one else was hooking up with orgies (it seemed). So we called this male escort and his voice didn't quite match up with the photo but we kept talking, asking stupid questions like,"If you come to our dorm, what will you do?" UGH, 18! Finally asked him how much just to come and walk down the hall to our room (with the plan we'd leave the door open so everyone could see what a "great" time we were having with this stud. $100 and that was our art supply allowance. Turned into phone sex, giggling, a frustrated escort who became irate and finally told us to fuck off. Later, we were a bit depressed, so we made a bunch of prank calls to bars around town and that saved the night? Yes. Geeeeeez

This thread is interesting to read, but to get a wide array of straight answers it is better approached as poll material. btw, I have never been a prostitute or been with a prostitute, mainly because I find either possibility impossible to imagine myself doing, which tends to strangle the possibility before it ever could take on a tinge of reality.
