youve bought drinks at bars... flowers for SOs rings, houses condos cars dresses etc etc etc.. not to mention the emotional investments...
dating and or marriage is all paying for sex in 1 way or the other...
this just takes the complications out of the whole deal..
its no different that the swingers that do it... in fact alot of swinger couples use escorts for the 3rd person in their adventures.
and if you are a swinger and frequent any of the clubs id let you know that at least 3 outa 10 women thta go there may also be int he escort racket.
Im a little disapointed with you guys specially the younger guys...
Im older so so is Val... we arnt 18 years old and most of you can only wish your girls will still look this good when they get to our age.
I would never flame your women for being brave enough to post pics.
yall are hypocrits if women dont look like demi moore or lindsey lohan or Zta jones etc etc they are trash to you people..
well lets just see how your now 18 year old GFs fair 20 more years then talk some sh!t...
Val came here to learn more about computers and post some stuff in here casue i told her yall are cool people.
guess I was wrong about the majority including some of you other women who I would expected more out of.
Val is wanting to be a web designer/photographer she is not here promoting herself but shes not shy about what she does either... and shes a scapper so she will fight back..
give her a chance she is a very smart pretty lady that is trying to learn the geekier side of life.

Ah, you misunderstand. I'm not saying that they have no choice, I'm saying that YOU have no choice. This whole thing about accepting the consequences is something that you and those who think like you have forced on those people so that you can pretend to yourself that you do have a choice. Powerlessness lashing out in hate and anger at its disapproval of others.Originally posted by: Nik
If those "women" would obey the law, they wouldn't be subjecting themselves now would they. They choose the lifestyle and must accept the consequences.
You're talking as if they have no choice to prostitute themselves out, as if that is the only gainful employment possible for them, which is the fatal mistake in your logic.
Are you going to give me a similar speech about folks who sell controlled substances and fire arms illegally?
And why should I repeat any speech I've already given many times before here? Text.

How do you explain cause and effect, then? How do you explain "consequence for your actions" then? Why are you so intent on enabling people to shirk their responsibility? Do you not believe that people are responsible for their actions and, by making the choice to do those actions, are then also responsible for the consequences of those actions?
People aren't just responsible for just some of their actions and not others. If you don't want to accept the consequences that society deems necessary for your actions, then choose to live in another society or petition that the society change.
Don't like laws against prostitution? Petition to get them changed. Until then, they're still illegal. However, whether they're illegal or not, I and many many many others will share the opinion that the profession is a vile and repulsive way to live and to treat your community.
LOL! No, seriously, I actually did laugh out loud. I can't believe I missed that post. That is bash-worthy. :thumbsup:Originally posted by: AdamSnow

I post in vain. 🙁
Do what you're gonna do, Nik. I will continue to have the knowledge that being a pseudo-moralistic overreaching busybody is a vile and repulsive way to live and to treat your community. Seriously. You're just not getting this.
Not even if Mayori tribesmen and a Spider Monkey are involved?????Originally posted by: Nik
You're married and it's in the privacy of your own bedroom. I don't give a crap what goes on and there's nothing immoral about sexual activity in private between you and your wife.
In most cases, yes it is.Originally posted by: Vic
Morality is not a matter of opinion, Nik.

Anyway, I digress. So, Nik, I'll bite. I can't help myself. Nik, tell me where I'm going wrong:
- You don't like Val because she's an escort.
- The only reason behind this that you can share with ATOT is that you hated having streetwalkers and empty boxes of condoms near your previous company's location.
- Val DOES NOT walk the streets, and DOES NOT leave empty boxes of condoms around.
You can say all you want about how an escort is the same as a streetwalker, but you can't possibly deny that last point.
Now, unless I missed something there, that means that the only reasonable problem that you have with Val is one that you cannot post here, correct? If that's the case - and understand that I actually enjoy most of your banter - why are you posting in here?
Fair enough. I mainly just posted that because I didn't want to be left out of the conversation. 😉Originally posted by: Nik
Meh, I wasn't trying to bait my comments.
I don't have anything against Val personally. Hell I don't even know the woman. However, I have such a disgusted opinion of her chosen profession that it kinda spills over into things like passion in conversation 😉
Like I said earlier, I won't get into the personal reasons. Like I told someone else who PM'ed me asking, If I start talking about the personal reasons, I'll become enraged and lose my self control and probably end up getting banned from saying some very very mean, cruel, unsubstantiated things based on assumptions that I have no right to make, all out of difficult-to-control anger. Folks say that I get pissed all the time, but I really don't and there's a reason for that.
However, the reasons I have major issues with the filthy profession have already been stated. I don't understand why people keep asking. 😕

Now, as for Geekbabe, GREAT QUESTIONS! I hope Val answers them, because I'm dying to know the answers too!

My finger cramped after scrolling 10+ pages! If I was the OP, I don't think I would come back after 13 pages of escort/prostitution morality debates.lol, my scroll wheel works just fine ! no hijack here , lol, I think this subject is interesting , I've never known anybody who works as an escort . Maybe if we're nice
Val can give us all a few pointers so we can all learn a new trick or two to spice up our romantic lives

It's cool everyone, I'll take these.Originally posted by: kumanchu
though i don't particularly hold a grudge against prostitutes/escorts/people in the sex business; i have to say there are more reasons to be against the industry other than a puritan sense of morality.
first, there is the public health issue. the possibility of spread of disease through the industry is much higher than outside of it; it's a simple reality due to the traffic. true, people outside the industry have multiple partners and such but its not nearly on the same scale. testing is not mandatory for people in the business (because its not legal to begin with so the government (or anyone other than the people themselves) regulate it). it is quite possible for a person to carry an STD, not know it, and spread it. Even worse they could have an STD, know it, then spread it. Due to the traffic within the industry it becomes a problem not only for those involved (as reffered to by other posters as the "two consenting adults in private") but for the community as a whole.
the sex industry even when regulated has been shown to have many problems outside of public health as well. according to a colleague involved in women's interest law, the instances of violence against and abuse of women is much higher in the industry than outside of it. though particularly high for streetwalkers (prostitutes) it remains true for the entire industry. though my colleague didn't provide where she got the statistics from, she said the statistics were based on extensive surveying in las vegas, amsterdam, and bangkok.
in short, the sex industry causes problems with
1.) public health
2.) women's interests
in anycase, welcome to AT val. i hope people will learn to like/dislike you on your merits rather than a broad generalization that has labeled you as a member of a stigmatized group.
