Is prostitution just another service, like hiring an electrician?

[leonardo5]

It really is a service. When you think about it, you're paying for sex any way you cut it. In fact, a $30-$50 tryst with a hooker is actually cheaper than dinner and wine at most restaurants nowadays.

I see cases where prostitution seems to be an useful service. You have to take it as something that has absolutely nothing to do with love and affection; just with fulfill something you crave a lot.

Suppose you have a kind of fetish with certain sexual activities which your wife is not comfortable (some kind of oral or anal for example)

Of course it’s not an enough reason to break up the marriage or mess your marriage up with an affair. So you have 2 options:

1-Give up your fetish and resign you never fulfill that.

2-Hire a hooker and ask her do what your wife cannot/ want not to do.

I think it would be a worth for everyone. You’ll have your fetish done, your wife will be free to do something she find disgusting and the hooker will get her payment for something for her was not a big deal.

No. There's really no moral stance on electricity. However, if you sleep with prostitutes you are at the very least risking your health and making yourself un-dateable by many, which I don't think would ever be the consequence for hiring an electrician.

Yes prostitution is providing a service, just like an electrician is providing their service.

It's illegal and puts the consumer in the disadvantageous role of trading on the black market, as well as putting himself at risk of arrest. So I guess it's along the lines of hiring a cowboy electrician without certification to wire up your house. Dodgy and risky when there are plenty of better alternatives available.

Awesome - I'll rep you for that one.

You really do sound like Charlie Sheen.

[MD Geist]

Yes it is. Truthfully its sad that people have to give them call but they do.

 

I've considered using an Escort service to lose my V-card.

I would love to see the commercial for Angie's list for this one.

If you have a wife that doesn't care you go to a hooker, she probably will fulfill the fetish anyhow. lol.

 

I'd be soo out of there. Who seriously wants a man that stupid?!

Some people are already pretty much undateable by anyone who may be somewhat worthwhile. So going to hookers really doesn't make it that much worse.

I think it is just another service.

 

If the electrician does something wrong, it could be a whole lot more dangerous than what a hooker brings to the table.

 

Fire or herpes? Take your pick.

 

If someone is getting a high class escort, they could be much safer than a drunk hook up at a club. Alot of them get tested regularly from what I hear.

 

If someone is going out and getting plastered before they have sex, the probably aren't very big on STD testing.

I think condoms have been invented to prevent this. Plus people are not going to reveal they go to hookers to their dating partners.

I’ll generally make a point of sticking up for sex workers during conversation with just about anyone. Even if it does shut the conversation down and put me in an uncomfortable situation.

I just cant stand people criticizing others like that.

 

Sure many sex workers are in their trade for the wrong reasons but lets not try and paint prostitution as something that is “always” a bad thing.

 

Many men and many women can separate sex from emotional attachment. I don’t see it as a stretch of the imagination to see such a person as being able to work in this trade in a emotionally gratifying way. They are, after all, providing a service that some people value.

 

I also agree with what a couple of others have eluded to here: it’s a fairly equal exchange between a sex worker and prostitute. Both parties need to think carefully if this is really something for them.

 

I hope I get to see the day when prostitution is only condemned by a tiny minority.

I see the subject of prostitution as an extreme example of a persons ability to accept that two different people can have two different experiences in the same situation. A simple concept but one so poorly grasped by most.

Perhaps Mercurial Girl is not someone who feels the need to “fit in” as keenly as most do. An admirable quality in my book.
