A qusestion to men who would pay for sex...

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I make no judgement on why women turn to prostitution.

I blame the men who exploit them.

Madame Cleo - Do you have any pictures of your daughter?

[KaiserD 12]

I would be really disappointed, I don't think I could do a good job of hiding it either.

She had better be able to give me a good reason why she's doing it, we would talk about all the effects good and bad this would have for her. The money, the circumstances, the threat of catching spreading stuff and quite frankly what it's going to do to the rest of her life.

Ultimately I couldn't stop her, if she was determined to do it but she would at least make an informed decision. At the end of the day I would still love her and I would get over it but it would hurt a lot and I would probably always be worried about her.

So they are victims? What about males that willingly sell their bodies for sex? Are they victims too?

Some of them are victims, some do it willingly. My issue, as I said, is with the men who buy those services. IMO they are perverted, self-loathing or both.

How about you address that and not minutia. Next I expect you'll ask menacing dogging and swinging. Nope, not interested.

I am going to take a guess here and say that based on this answer, you would not buy sex either. Am I wrong?

Madame Cleo - Do you have any pictures of your daughter?

My hypothetical daughter? Loads, take your pick.

Perhaps you should make a poll: How many men have on VJ paid for sex in cash, gifts, or favors and how may women have exchanged such things for sex. Make it anonymous, and you might get some honest answers. Do the reverse as well if you want for the women.

There are a lot of old, fat, ugly USC's here with young tasty foreign morsels in tow.

Course not! I also have a problem with porn but not in a "I think porn is bad so it should be banned!" kind of way. It's a complicated topic with many facets to the argument. Of course, there's bound to be more than one person rolling their eyes at the mere mention that a) someone should find it objectionable in any way and 2)that it even could be a complicated subject. But hey, it's VJ, what do we expect

[DEDixon 39]

If it was legal I would still hold the opinion that a guy who pays for sex is despicable.

ever watched porn? what do you think of folks in porn?

There are some compelling arguments against porn.

Do you also hold guys who go to strip clubs, Hooters, etc., despicable?

How about guys who look at pornography on the internet?

I'm less inclined to judge the prostitute than the Johns.

Why?

As if anyone here would really be "happy" if their daughter turned to prostitution.

If prostitution was a legal profession and my daughter was successful at it, I would be happy for her.

I expect noone wants to admit that because men who use prostitutes don't want to think about the woman being someones daughter.

Every single woman in the world is someone's daughter. Many men like to imagine their wives were virgins too...

My issue, as I said, is with the men who buy those services. IMO they are perverted, self-loathing or both.

How are they any moreso than guys who are in unhealthy relationships with steady girlfriends/wives?

Many of the guys I know who used prostitutes regularly were actually quite respectable of the ladies and women in general. It was strictly a business transaction, not payment for abuse.

Perhaps you should make a poll: How many men have on VJ paid for sex in cash, gifts, or favors and how may women have exchanged such things for sex.

Every single one of us has done so at one time or another.

I don't know why it needs to be anonymous since this is a "legal" thing to do in this assumed world.

Marriage is the jackpot of all tricks.

Like what? That it's the most lucrative business in America?

What do you think about men who pick up streetwalkers or use prostitutes from the Internet?

It's true, there are some for as well. Do we all really want to go there? I can't see this discussion ending well if it does

oh, so women who are hookers are so weak they have no choice? they must submit to exploiting men?

how do you differentiate women in porn? how about the woman-owned porn production companies? how does that rest on your mind?

your opinion of men is really in the gutter, do you have any "man" friends?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Sorry Slim, I'm not playing the relativastion game with you.

A serious discussion of ethical issues pertaining to porn? I think that's beyond your abilities. Nothing personal.
