I have a few scenarios that I know to be true that may change your opinion of this whole pay for sex situation:
-I know an attorney who negotiated a marriage contract for a couple, he HAD to make a certain outrageous income a year, and she HAD to maintain a certain waist size. (He's paying, and she's taking the money, but they're both in power to a degree)
-I know a single mom who makes well over 50k and she's broke a lot. A lot of people would be baffled by this, but her lifestyle COSTS 50K. She and a male friend negotiated a deal for certain 'activities' and she said, 'well, I want to get something out of it so you can fukk while you're down there'. The surprising thing is that he didn't want sex. Apparently the deal fell through and he just let her borrow the cash.
-I briefly dated and fukked an amazing looking Asian chick. We were a bad match and it didn't work out, even though she insisted that we take a stab at being a couple. We became friends and later told me that she'd often go on dating sites when she was low on cash for the free dinners (dates that people seem to say aren't paying for sex). She enjoyed sex a lot and said she saw intercourse as an 'extra' and often times wanted it more than the dudes. She's very attractive, intelligent, has an advanced degree and a great career. Her main interest was being fed high quality dinners at restaurants she didn't want to pay for herself, it had nothing to do with the men, the money, or the sex. But she wouldn't turn it down.
-A lot of escorts are sex addicts.
-I'm not going to tell you what I do for a living because that would reveal too much, but wealthy white guys with families see prostitutes...A LOT. And they're called hobbyists. If you think these are lame guys that couldn't get it elsewhere, you have no idea how wrong you are.
-Also, rappers pay for escorts to show up at their parties and fukk. It's true. It's been true. And it will keep being true.
If people are safe, honest, and upfront about their interest in the exchange...that's none of our business. And placing judgment on the situation seems a little archaic. But that's just my take.
