Yes, the sex just happens.

It's ridiculous really, they should just legalise it and then they can tax it as well as regulate it and make sure that the workers are safe.

I imagine she'd look at you pretty funny if you offered her up a bit of garlic bread and salmon before the youse got down to brass tacts.

I remember escorts.ie being some weird revelation to me years ago. I couldn't believe it was so easy and out there and legal whereas it becomes illegal as soon as you take it off the internet. Crazy.

It's super overpriced though. I recall it being like 250 quid to get dominated. Maybe for my birthday.

My head hurts. It just never ends does it. 'And it was my opinion too'. We know, yeah. Smashing stuff.

Obviously there will be a few. But I would expect it is extremely rare.

Its just...Im pretty sure escorts know, that while it doesnt quite say it on the tin, sex is very likely, if not certain, to be a part of their job.

Escort is just a more pleasant way of saying glorified prostitute with extra perks, such as dinner.

In many cases yes. My point is that picking up some hooker from a dockside is not the same as arranging an intelligent, educated, well dressed woman who is and will be comfortable and able to act appropriately in certain social situations that require her to mix with others known to the person she is escorting.

Not quite the same deal and a quick wham, bam, thank you man and here's your £20, get out my car.

I defended my original post against your response out of necessity. I didn't take it upon myself to quote your original post and say 'well I can't imagine that's what escorting is lol'. That was your doing. I suppose I did have to point something out to you in the fact that I had to basically repeat my original post because in your mad hormonal dash to catch me out you forgot I was only speaking from my own experience at a local level.

So back to square one why bother pointing out to me the flaw in my thinking then when it was a remark on locality and rooted in fact? It would be like me quoting your original post and saying 'well actually that's not what escorting is I think'. It's obvious to me that this is another improvised response because you tried too quick to catch someone out again.

My head hurts. It just never ends does it. 'And it was my opinion too'. We know, yeah. Smashing stuff.

*sigh*

It's only through putting that post together that I remember your insane ability to create an argument from nothing. To hell with it. You are making me sound riddiculous and I'm giving in to you which is my fault.

There ar prostitutes are out there, because they have no core skills to fall back on, and legal basic wages are not enough for them to survive on and desperation turns them to having to sell their bodies to allow them to keep a roof over their heads, feed, clothe their children - and genearlly just exist.

Yes, there are a great many that have to resort to it to feed drug habits: but let's not tar all with the same brush.

It's for these very reasons that I believe that prostitution should be made legal.

Escorts are cold hearted women making rich men fall in love with them so they get can all they can out of them

Prostitutes are women on the street chasing crack and whatever who will give it up for very little.

It's reality dear.

I think in general the term "escort" is just a posher name for a ***** than "prostitute"

Having said that, there is such a thing as an actual escort, who is paid well for basically providing company and looking pretty for a night.

And you can quit right now with the patronising sarcastic, 'It's reality 'dear' comment. It's downright rude, as well as facetious and totally uncalled for.
