Would you ever consider prostitution if it was necessary?

[Pyramid*]

If things were really touch and go - I don't mean a few hard months financially etc: I mean if it was coming to the bit where you had lost your job, managed to stay afloat but now were about to lose your home etc: would you ever consider prostitution to keep a roof over your head?

This is not a flippant question; it's deadly serious. Easy to say in the cold light of day 'Never'... but if the push came to shove..... would you consider it (seeing it through I am sure would be a totally different thing) - but would you consider it?

Me? perhaps not now..... but if I was younger - I'd have a tendency to say yes. Not the best of careers but if it was necessary to avoid me losing my home - I have to say yes - I'd most certainly consider it.

Might not be proud - but proud enough to not have to live on the streets I guess.

What's your thoughts?

[Ninastar]

yes

[King Gizzard]

Nah, couldn't do it, rather be bust

[thesheriff443]

well some girls give it away every friday night,to someone new,
girls in lap danceing clubs have it easy they do very little apart from tease the men and get good money,
girls on the street its a different storie most do it to feed a drug habit,
then there are the high class hookers,wich is a joke really to be called that,

[Maia]

Would rather be homeless

[Boothy]

No. It would be far to degrading for me, personally. I'd feel more comfortable living on the streets.

[Bollo]

It's really difficult to imagine myself getting into that situation and until I'd been there I guess I'd never really know. But in all honesty I don't think I could bring myself to do that, no.

[Ninastar]

/feels like a slut now

but yeah it's just sex imo

if it were safe then I don't see the problem

[Niall]

No. I'd be worried about the shady people I was um... 'servicing'. It seems to me like they're all crooks and I'd be terrified of getting beaten up or something.

[Locke.]

Nah, much easier ways of making money, imagine the state of some of the people they have to sleep with... disgusting

[Jack_]

If I was a girl, then yes. As a guy...only if it were girls paying (which I think is quite unlikely).

[King Gizzard]

..it's huge in Japan

[Samuel.]

Impossible to answer until you're in that situation.

I can't imagine you'd make much as a male prostitute. Plenty of men willing to have sex with anything for free.

[Kizzy]

No, I would rather be poor....What am I on about?...I am poor *puts on fishnets*
Seriously, no I couldn't.

If I had the looks for it then I would, not the 'hanging around on street corners' kind though. I'd work for an agency.

That's the kind of thing I meant - I didn't mean the literal fag hanging out of mouth, chewing the cud and swinging handbag whilst resting hand on one hip at lamp posts !

Ninastar - you are such a slut !! LOL ! :D We'll be sluts together (hey: that would really put the price up !!)

This is of course only a 'thought'. Doing it in reality would be a whole different matter when it came to it - seeing it through in reality.

[Tom4784]

I wouldn't walk the streets, far too dangerous.

[Redway]

Wouldn't have a problem with it. I'm peng.

[Pyramid*]

I wouldn't walk the streets, far too dangerous.


If business was brisk: hopefully you'd be doing more laying than walking !!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

some guys get off on having to pay for it idk what it is its some kind of strange fetish that turns them on so if i was (as redway put it) peng i would so exploit this i would be like yeah £500 and i will take my coat off bitch

[arista]

yes

Spiffing

[Livia]

I'd be far too choosey and never make any money.

Women that become Hookers
get hooked on Drugs and it's a Crazy Circle.


High Class Hookers
earn Big Cash (Tax Free) and do anything
they are not on Drugs and are Fit.



Only some get the the Vibe to be Hookers.
Many Poor Women that look Hot will not do it for money.

I think if you were so poor that you actually turned to prostitution out of desperation, you would not be able to afford to pick and choose who you actually slept with (if we're talking about the kind where you pedal your wares on street corners). You'd be off in the back of a car, in some deserted car park or secluded alleyway, with, well anyone. I think it takes a lot to act pretty convincing with somebody who may well be physically repulsive to you. I don't think I could pull it off (no pun intended).

And what about the risks and the dangers?

Well high class hookers go into for the money. And the street ones go to feed addictions. It's never really to do with money per se, only in the sense they need it to get their fix.

You've raised an exceptionally good point - if things had got that bad - you wouldn't be in that position to pick and chose.

That's the problem with things just being theoretical - the real hard facts as you've laid them out can't be denied. When it is put over like that - no, I couldn't.

Nah, don't think I could do it, it's dangerous and you could get diseases and the men are probably horrible and sleazy

Interesting question as I've just come back from Amsterdam which might have influenced my answer, but here goes...

I think prostitution is given a bad rap. Ignoring the drug culture amongst prostitutes in the UK, and instead looking at Amsterdam, it's a very safe, well run operation. The prostitutes aren't ruled by pimps. They aren't doing it for drugs, at least for the majority anyway. They're doing it to pay off rent or debts or, hell, because they enjoy it. It's a business transaction, it's not like you're hiring yourself out to be intimate with someone, you're just selling your private parts as an object and you name your price. You can refuse customers and you can decide what you want to offer as a service. The police are there within 30 seconds if something goes wrong, all the girls have a buzzer they can press to get them there. A guy who slept in my hostel room there came back from just having had sex with one of them and he told us what it was like. He said it was mechanical and weird but it was a worthwhile experience because he said he'd never do it again and he saw the cold distinction between intimacy and sex. These women don't care about you, they care about your money, so I think it's something I would probably do if push came to shove and I needed the money and it was regulated here like it is in Amsterdam. It's insane how backwards the UK can be - if we legalised prostitution and gave prostitutes better conditions to work in, we'd see less people on the streets and less of a drug problem I think.

I back you on every word you have said here Zee. I've said the same thing for years and years. It is the oldest profession in the world. If it is allowed to be regulated and run like a proper business.

It does not have to be seedy. Of course that element will always exist - but I've had the Amsterdam view for years and years.

Keeps it all clean, above board, taxed, regulated, inspected.

Yeah, If you ignore the drugs, physical and mental abuse,human trafficking, exploitation, moral and etical issues prostitution is a good idea......

[Black Dagger]

If I was getting paid a considerable amount (£50-150) per person, then yeah I'd be all for it.

Especially if they were conventionally attractive as well.

I wouldn't even need to think twice about it, sex is sex, as long as it was clean, I couldn't care less. In all honesty.

Sorry, I should have made myself clearer, this was back in the past, during the Victorian age when she had no chance to draw any benefits.

It's still extremely sad though, and later in life she couldn't live with it :(. The children were well brought up though and did quite well for themselves and looked after her too.

Prostitution is always going to exist and there is always going to be a call for it. Don't you think it would be a lot better if it was properly regulated and prostitutes were able to trade in a safe environment off the streets, so they are not ripped off and abused by their pimps? Also with access to contraception, sexual health checks and screenings and away from residential areas where they can attract all kinds of low life?

It should be made legal, doing so will take away the profit from pimps and gangs and regulations can be put in place to make it safe for it's workers and that nobody is forced into it. If you make it legal you can control it and tax it.

They HAVE to hide behind modelling / dating / escort agencies: because it's illegal. They wouldn't have to if it was made legal. I'm not sure how you can't see that. :conf:

For me, this again is one of the sensible approaches to what is the oldest profession in the world.

Let's be honest here: there are plenty of (men) and women who are quite happy to infrequently 'date' a man who takes them out for nice meals, takes them an odd trip away and the sleep with them. That's not a whole world away from a form of prostitution. (a different slant albeit) - they may not be taking money in the currency form but they are benefitting from someone else's money paying.

[Shaun]

I'd consider it if it were unnecessary tbh

[Z]

If you make it legal, you give the power back to the women who are ultimately the ones who provide the service. The tour guide who took us round Amsterdam said that Amsterdam had something like only 300 people known to be drug addicts in the city, out of a population of nearly 800,000 people. The UK on the other hand has a huge drug problem, and it's linked to prostitution. If you legalise prostitution, regulate it and improve the conditions they have to work in, not only do you provide a safer atmosphere but you even get tourism from it - how many people do you know of or have heard of that go to Amsterdam for such adventures? It's quite a common thing. It's a controversial topic but you have to accept that prostitution will always exist because some people will do anything for sex. And it's not always horrific looking people who can't get it anywhere else - you get tourists wanting the experience, you get people who want the fetish idea of it, you get people who want to do things that other women won't do. Some men don't want to spend like £50 on taking a girl out on a date hoping that it might lead to sex, some would rather just pay for sex. There are so many reasons why people do it. I can list off so many benefits behind the idea and I'm sure there are just as many for why it's not a good idea, but I'm for legalising prostitution.

And it's not always horrific looking people who can't get it anywhere else - you get tourists wanting the experience, you get people who want the fetish idea of it, you get people who want to do things that other women won't do. Some men don't want to spend like £50 on taking a girl out on a date hoping that it might lead to sex, some would rather just pay for sex. There are so many reasons why people do it. I can list off so many benefits behind the idea and I'm sure there are just as many for why it's not a good idea, but I'm for legalising prostitution.


Fine post with ever finer points made.

I agree Greg. There is a totally different attitude to prostitution in Amsterdam and it's a completely different approach. People actually want to venture into the red light district over there. I would even go so far as to say it was a tourist attraction for some. It is not a no-go area at all. Just watch out for the blue lights....

[Jords]

Oh get over yersel!!!! I have dignity too - it's a theoretical discussion.

Pride comes before a fall and all that.

Nah Im a strong believer that no matter how tough things get keep your head up, morals close and put the graft in to make a change. Theres no easy way out even if prostitution makes it economically slightly, very slightly, lighter.

Its not about getting over yaself Pyra, Id want to keep as happy and clean. Diving that low wouldnt put me in good spirits at all about life.

oh, dont get me wrong here: I doubt if it came to such a decision, that most would think it was a great idea - not at all.

I guess that often I look from the perspective of "there for the grace of god and all that".

No one knows what's around the corner - and these days: with people losing jobs right, left and centre: money worries becoming more prevailant - jobs so much harder to come by etc - that it can happen all too easily - unfortunately. :(

[GypsyGoth]

I thought about this before hypothetically, and probably homelessness is one of the few things that would push me toward prostitution. I've heard life on the streets is truly awful, loads are alcoholics and drug addicts and there's a chance being beaten and raped if you fall in with the wrong crowd.

So I guess having sex with strangers wouldn't seem as bad confronted with that alternative.

But I think part of my soul would die, and it'd be difficult enough being close to people I don't know, let alone have sex.

[Jords]

I know, people think 'Ill just do it once' when theyre really strapped of cash and boom they end up doing it every day of every week.

I think thats whats so bad about it, people become dependent on prostitution and try less and less to get out their situation and become complacement on 'just getting by'. Which says more about what aspirations they have in life... waste.

it may be less to do with lack of aspirations and more to do with the desperation to survive - I know that sounds lame but that is true for some that are in that situation I'm sure.

I do think it's the type of profession that does come with far too much stigma attached to it: due to those who do go down that line for drugs etc. That's the very sad part to it - but there is that in many aspects of life too.

I do think you would have to be a certain type of person to really detach yourself - and I totally get the comment about 'losing a bit of your soul'. but again: if it was legalised: that stigma would eventually die out.

Look at how 'promiscious' people are these days compared to even as little as 20/30 years ago (well you can't since you are so young) -but sleeping around and having god knows how many sexual partners before settling down is regarded as 'acceptable' these days by many. I'm sure if it was legalised, controlled - that perceptions would eventually differ and it be regarded as less sleazy that it is currently.

I can't see it working ever, It would simply remove the safeguards in place currently for victims.
Think we will have to agree to disagee here:)

Escort agencies of course do in fact provide the service of prostitution that is "left up to the individual" as they do not advertise sex for cash. There are plenty of willing people in the escort industry. There are also high class prostitutes that offer their services to business men in swanky hotels. Ones that run their businesses from home and advertise in telephone boxes. Street workers. Many kinds. I am not sure I understand how legalised prostitution/brothels would "remove the safeguards in place currently for victims". Could you please explain?

[Jords]

Im so bored I might go out and look for a hooker and give her £10 for a chat and drink :joker:

haha depends on the hooker!

think of it being like the last hour of a market stall and you still have some goodies leftover that you could get rid of at a cheaper price before you call it a night......... hell, you might even get a Buy One, Get One Free Deal !

You got to think positive here Jords.

No...I don't wish to explain I have stated my view....Those who wish to sell sex can via escort agencies.....end of....
I have no desire to discuss the ins and outs of the sex industry (dont be cheap)

[Pyramid*]

If you have no desire to discuss the ins and outs of the sex industry then why come onto the thread at all then? The subject title is very clear as has been the replies and the how the thread evolved.

It's seems that when it comes to debate Kizzy - you seem to have this "just coz I said so" reply tactic, but can never actually validate or offer anything to substantiate and back up your views. It actually kills debates rather than enriches them.

[Mrluvaluva]

So you make a statement that makes no sense to me and you don't wish to explain yourself? I sort of got the idea you were avoiding the question, that's why I re-posted.

PMSL. forgiven especially when it's on the subject of something similar! tee hee.....

I'm not sure they give coupons outs though..... I think you might have a problem there. Perhaps you'll have to use your charm to allow you to take a rain check!

Oh, you've just reminded me - I was given a DVD gift the other night that I forgot about (how ignorant does that sound). The In-Betweeners - I could stick that on and watch it. (no idea what it's about though, didn't even read the cover). In fact - the Inbetweeners could be a In Between the Bogof deal ! haaaa!!

Again my view is attacked.....I do not agree with prostitution...Im not going to apologise for that or enter into a prolonged debate about it.....Just have the good grace to accept my stance is all I ask!

No one is attacking you, and no one is asking you to apologise for having a view.

If however you are going to enter a debate thread, then be prepared to be expected to debate and offer counter arguements, through logical and factual accuracy. That is what a debate is: not just sticking up 'my view' and then not be expected to discuss your view in detail and to examine & consider all possibilities regardless of agreement.

[Jessica.]

No.

[arista]

For those who are not doing it through choice, there are agencies you can join if you want to prostitute yourself, an ex friend of mine became an escort.
Hide it behind a 'modelling' agency or 'dating' agency and voila....

PMSL Arista. You're worth your weight in gold when you come away with stuff like that! :joker:

Banter aside: it would be great to 'hear' that side of it from someone who has been there, seen it, done it.

[bananarama]

The fact is life is about prostitution anyhow. Buy a lass a drink and or a meal hoping for a bed time result . What are you doing. Yep buying a prostitute just as the lass that accepts the drink or meal and has sex has indeed prostituted.

High maintenance dates expecting loads of dosh to be spent on them are of course another version of prostitution.

Every sexually active dating person at some time or another buys and sells themselves.

Now the really cheap ones that are lower than prostitutes are the one night stand merchants who don't even put a price on themselves and give it away to total strangers....

Controversial !!!!!!!!!!!

[Mystic Mock]

Only if it was women lol, but I don't know if I could do it as I probably would be laughed at.

[CharlieO]

Yea I probably would. I have a low enough self esteem and couldn't live without money so I guess I would.
