Okay, I'm doing a term paper on this. I'm arguing that the average woman (at least the age of consent, with no intellectual handicaps or anything that would affect her judgement) in average circumstances (not being threatened or coerced, not under influence of any drugs or alcohol and not in extreme circumstances) would not practice prostitution.

I'm arguing for women, because:

1) The large majority of prostitutes are women
2) I'm a woman and I don't know what a man would do.

Thoughts?

Depends, do I get to refuse the right to refuse my services?

If so, then probably still no. I'd rather be with someone I love wub.gif

yup, being a prositute doesn't mean having sex with every guy that'll throw down $20. It does happen, especially with streetwalkers, but many prostitutes only have a select list of clients.

Sorry Oni, but most male prostitutes (man whores) service male clients... Not too many women visit prostitutes....

That's a damn shame.

But seriously there are some women who do, why is it so unplausible that they might want me? not that I think they would.

No.

The diseases. Think of the problems that would go along with it. A stripper is a much better job. close to the same money but none of the disease that goes along with it.

Besides I may be stero typing things, but I would guess that most guys that go looking for a prostitue are dirty, and have to have something wrong with them if that cant find any tail at the bars.

Okay, so what if you worked in a really high class brothel where you were protected from violence, no one knew your name and all the guys had to wear condoms. Would it still be the same thing?

Hmmm, could go either way. I mean, whoring yourself out isn't exactly preferable, but if you're REALLY down on cash, and you're covered for protection, and reserve the right to refuse service...it's a way to make a living. If I weren't? Nope, because I don't like the idea of having sex with people I don't know on a regular basis...

So I think I'll just vote "no".

I really don't see much of a problem with it. If somebody has the right personality to cope with the work it can be good money which can set them up for the rest of their lives. Not every prostitute is hanging around under street lights for the first punter who comes along. A lot service visiting businessmen.

Not many people have the correct mindset to do that however.

No I still wouldnt do it. If I didnt have to sell my body to make cash I wouldnt. I would much prefer a job that I felt proud of having. Not to say people that choose that life style cant be proud of it, I just dont see it as a great job. And besides its not as though the job leads anywhere, atleast with other job you get to move up and ect.

I dunno suppose I would just rather have a job that depended on my knowledge rather then my body.

Personally I would never contemplate selling my (very fine wink.gif ) body. But, if you where a bit of a slapper anyway then it would be easy to make the transformation from sleeping with guys for fun to sleeping with guys for cash.
Me....I`d rather be poor!

Actually you could move up if you wanted. Prostitutes in legal areas such as Nevada bring in a good 6 figures a year. That's a lot of money. One could start their own brothel after 6 months if they wished to. One could even work for a couple of years and make enough to retire for the rest of their lives more than comfortably. If that's not moving up I don't know what is.

That's true. But would you personally do it? That's the question I'm asking. Not a theoretical person who may or may not be you. Me and theories don't get along well. I like to deal in the concrete.

I have no problem with the idea at all, however, it's not for me. I don't have the mind set for it. I tend to get attached to people I have sex with. Also, I like to know the people I bed before I bed them. smile.gif
