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.

You're the one who is arguing. Not I. I merely clarified my stance and to what I was referring to on the subject matter. I'm certainly not making you sound ridiculous. You're the master of your own fate as you readily agree to in your final sentence.

Well Escorts are seen as sociopathic business women and prostitues are seen as crack heads

A valid, worthwhile observation, Joe.

In the United Kingdom, prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is not a crime, but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes.

In England and Wales and in Northern Ireland it is an offence to pay for sex with a prostitute who has been “subjected to force” and this is a strict liability offence (clients can be prosecuted even if they didn’t know the prostitute was forced).

It is illegal to buy sex from a person younger than 18, although the age of consent for non-commercial sex is 16.

According to the present law, one prostitute may work from an indoor premises, but if there are two or more prostitutes the place is considered a brothel and it is an offence.

The total number of prostitutes is not known and is difficult to assess, but authorities and NGOs estimate that approximately 100,000 persons in the country are engaged in prostitution. The personal circumstances of prostitutes are not clear and are, as elsewhere, the subject of political controversy.

The sex trade takes different forms, such as prostitution practiced in massage parlors, saunas, private flats, street prostitution and escort prostitution. The enforcement of the anti-prostitution laws is very lax.

According to a 2009 study by TAMPEP, of all prostitutes in the UK, 41% were foreigners - however in London this percentage was 80%. The total number of migrant prostitutes was significantly lower than in other Western countries (such as Spain and Italy where the percentage of all migrant prostitutes was 90%). The migrant prostitutes came from: Central Europe 43%, Baltic 10%, Eastern Europe 7%, Balkan 4%, other EU countries 16%, Latin America 10%, Asia, 7%, Africa 2%, North America 1%. 35 different countries of origin were identified.

Slavery is as much of a problem in the UK today as when it was abolished 'due to trafficking of women into prostitution'

The Centre for Social Justice will launch a review of slavery and human trafficking as estimates show at least 6,000 women have been trafficked into the UK and forced into prostitution.

Really. That is an incredibly blinkered view in my opinion.

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.

I think my point still stand tbh

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 didn't say your point didn't still stand. I said that I found it to be a very blinkered viewpoint. Escorts make rich men fall in love with them? PMSL. Life isn't like Pretty Woman!!

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.

That view is extremely simplistic and very far from "reality" .....

[Lee.]

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.

Now to me a ***** is simply a female who puts it out like a dog on heat - minus the money taking.

BIB - yes indeed. There is such a think as an actual escort - offering the service you have described above.

Well the power a cunning woman can have over a rich man is astounding. Women like that aren't on the street for a reason.

True, and that reason is not soley down to the one that you believe it to be. That is the reality of the situation.

As for the power cunning women have over rich men? I think you'll find it's the riches that allow the men to buy the woman. Hugh Heffner ring a bell, for starters?

[Zippy]

Escort covers a wider ground. It's not specifically about paying for sex even though that may be offered as part of the service.

Prostitution is about paying for a sex act.

Better question; are pornstars prostitutes?

A 15-year-old schoolgirl earned almost £100,000 a year working as a high-class prostitute, it was revealed yesterday.

By day the teenager attended classes but at night she was regularly paid hundreds of pounds for sex.

The girl, who cannot be identified because of her age, is believed to have been working for an escort agency based in Newcastle.

She lied about her age before going on to earn £1,700 a week, meeting dozens of men on school nights and at the weekend.

Her double life was exposed in November when a suspicious teacher searched her schoolbag and found condoms, a card with the name of her pimp and details of the agency she worked for.

The school alerted police and officers later searched the £200,000 family home in South Tyneside, finding £8,060 in cash hidden in the loft, a court heard.

Underage ..... and with a pimp .....

[Livia]

The term "High-Class Prostitute" always makes me laugh.

It's about time all prostitution was legalised. It'd give the girls the protection they need and stop criminalising both the girls and the men for what is essentially a business transaction.

[Lee.]

I remember reading about a high class prostitute who made her living off one customer.. All she had to do was have dinner with him once a week then dress up in nice underwear and fling sticky buns at him. For each session she was paid 3k!!

Now I ain't no ho, but if some wrinkly old man was willing to pay me 3 grand for flinging cakes at him, then I would be totally up for it!

Yeah, they ban smoking in pubs but still allow girls to be sold as sex slaves

Seems like they mostly want to brush it under the carpet

Nah. Having consential sex is allowed. Having it filmed is allowed. Selling such movies for others to watch - all strictly above board.

Absolutely agree 100%.

I'll go one further - I bet a lot who say they wouldn't do that, would be lying.

It's hardly 'allowed'. Do you have any idea how huge the sex slave trade is - and more importantly - why it exists, the people behind organising it, why they do it and the huge connection to that and the drug trade?

Obviously not allowed, but it still goes on. I think they should put far much more money into stopping it than they do, so it almost seems allowed at the moment.

[Shaun]

The only scenario I can imagine (though feel free to offer others) where a man hires an escort purely for show (to colleagues / family / friends) is if he was in the closet and afraid of coming out of it. Obviously then they'd not be in it for sex. But I struggle to believe any others (other than the weird fetishist Lee pointed out ) hire escorts for company.

[Zippy]

A lot of women hire male escorts to take them to certain do's or events they don't want to attend alone. Its actually very common.

I just don't think women crave sex enough to pay for it like men do. But they do crave company.
