    also the sweetie thing bugs me too can you stop that kthnx
    Of course documentaries represent a certain perspective and point of view. Are they biased? I would not use that term. Do they represent and portray a particular ideological point of view. Yes. Why is there always an assumption that documentaries are objective? They are not. Is there such a thing as objectivity? That is open to debate. Everything in our lives is ideological and political in nature. That is an inescapable fact. Should we dismiss documentaries because they are not objective? No. Why? Because we would be left with an extreme form of cultural and political relativism and left to live in a world where in words of Paul Feyerabend "anything goes."

    Right, that's what makes them biased. They are biased toward that point of view.

    Presence of bias does not mean a total lack of objectivity. You are assuming too much.

    Yes there is and no, it's not.

    No it's not, there is nothing ideological or political about the lap dances I got last weekend. I'm a registered independent and she was a Brazilian who doesn't even vote in this country.

    So you form your opinions and live your life based on what you see on television documentaries? That seems a bit limiting.

    When did I say I form my opinions and live my life based on what I observe on television? Nothing like that was implied in my statement. Documentaries are one of many sources that one makes an informed opinion about the social world. And, of course, lap dances are ideological and political in nature and I don't mean political as in belonging or representing a political party.Pfffttt.

    If your only form of education is a documentary, then you're not very educated!

    I never said that nor was it ever implied. You are making too many assumptions about what others know and don't know. As a moderator, you should know better than that. This thread has already gone off on a tangent.

    I didn't quote you, why so defensive? You clearly know your way around escorts & the business of, no assumptions made.

    I don't even know where to start with this one. I just tried to clean it up a bit, especially the last couple pages. I have left more questionable posts in than I ordinarily would have, in order to attempt to let people have their say. Also if you delete one post, you often have to go back and delete the post it was a reply to, and forward to delete the responses, and read and re-read the thread to see where the drama all started, and where do you draw the line?

    I also ran out of time. I will try to come back and edit it some more later.

    I have to say this, though. Criticizing a woman for fucking a lot of guys and not charging them for it is fucking insane. Though god knows a lot of promiscuous women are compensating for deep-seated insecurity and mental issues--just like the men so often are.

    But of course the men are 'studs', and 'Players'. The women are 'sluts' and 'Hoes'. Therein lies the problem. This double standard seriously warps both sexes' ideas about what is right and wrong about fucking a lot of people.

    I am not saying I will never pay for sex--who knows, maybe someday I will? But I'll be damned if I will give any woman the time of day who thinks I should always pay any woman for sex just because I don't have a vagina. They really aren't made of gold, they are made of the same basic kinds of tissues and nerve cells and blood vessels as my fucking dick. There ain't nothing inferior about my dick to any vagina in the entire fucking world.

    Lest you think I am being arrogant, I didn't say my dick made me superior, as so many women will say about their fucking vaginas...



    But seriously, what the hell do I care if hordes of insecure men will fall all over themselves and debase themselves and pay every time for a little bit of vagina? I'm supposed to get in line for that shit as well? I don't think so.


    OK, carry on. Please be civil.

    More than you would think. But that's besides the point. The point is that most threads in the lounge I have participated in are more about a few members bullying, intimidating and berating others who don't agree with their point of view than it is about having respectful and meaningful dialogue. There is a gang mentality on this board that even moderators unhesitatingly participate in. More disturbing is how some members deliberately misinterpret arguments made on this thread. A case in point is when I expressed that most escorts are 'managed.' Lo and behold, I was attacked and accused by some member of making a statement that all escorts are managed. If anyone cares to go back and read the post, they will see that is far from the truth. One example I chose to share was the documentary Client 9 to make a point that most high-end escorts are not independent, if by independent we mean that they schedule their own appointments, drive themselves to their clients, and take security and screening measures in their own hands. Next, you have a few members including two moderators making the assumption that the documentary I decided to use as an example is the only source of my information. In the end, what we are left with is a few senior board members questioning and interrogating a board member because they are new they believe their views have no value, or because it does not represent the 'official view' expressed by a few senior 'know-it-all' board members. But to answer your question: no I am not defensive at all. In fact, I find it quite amusing.

    Why would you think that I wouldn't understand the paragraph? English is my first language. I my not agree with what you said but I am choosing not to debate the rest of the paragraph, only the last poorly constructed sentence. As I said, would you care to elaborate?

    It's not worth our time to engage in a meaningless melodramatic chest beating contest to get one's point across. I prefer to remain humble than the arrogant persona some like to project.

    Interesting since you are projecting a fair amount of arrogance in these posts. OK, fair enough, if you don't want to elaborate you certainly don't have to...

    Whining? Hardly. Legitimate complaint? Absolutely. Issues? Zero. When I signed up on this board, I was immediately accused of being someone who was banned simply because I disagreed with their views on education and immigration. This time, I have been told I have issues. One has to wonder why there are even board rules here, or who they are intended for, especially when senior board members including moderators who I believe should moderate more than becoming deeply involved in debates, don't abide by those rules.

    Lovelyme, you don't have a leg to stand on, and as a board bully it is easier for you to engage in character assassination by labeling me as a member with 'issues' than it is to engage in a debate. Why? Because board bullies like yourself believe that a discussion on an internet board has to involve winners and losers, and by flexing your muscles, and being more vocal about your position than anyone else, especially if you have been a long-term board member, carries more weigh than the counterexamples presented by others. It is no wonder why so many board members refuse to participate in board discussions and are intimidated to express their opinions out of fear that at any moment an established or so-called senior member will lash out against them, in effect, silencing them.

    Two days ago, I asked the moderator of this thread to delete my account and delete all my posts because I see no reason to participate on a board where a few spiteful, angry, self-righteous intolerant members hijack or dictate which directions the thread should head towards, and often as we have observed, they go off on a tangent. Initially, when I joined this board, I was naive and believed that the topics under debate were worthy of my time to participate in, and members were genuinely interested in engaging in a dialogue. Now, my views have changed. I am a respected member on other boards with the same handle, and I see not reason to continue with anymore board brawls than I already have. Good day.

    And why are you still here? No one is forcing you to post. If you don't like the board, the members or the moderators you are absolutely free to log-off of Stripper web and never return.
    Demanding that your account be deleted is just another ego-maniacal attempt at you displaying a superiority complex. Just go already!

    Not to add to the drama, but the reason why long-term members' views tend to carry more weight, and newer members are "attacked," is because long-term members have proven themselves. It's not about seniority or number of posts - it's about showing that you have a leg to stand on to support your views. Lovelyme is an escort, and admits she's an escort. So when she speaks on escort issues, people here listen to her more. You, on the other hand, have done nothing but make vague references to how you "know more than we could guess" about the escorting world. Look, you either know your shit from experience and you're willing to just SAY that and offer up where you get your info from, or you don't. Either prove yourself or be prepared to be "bullied" by others who think you're full of it. You're an anonymous screen name on the internet - nobody is going to take anything you say seriously if you can't even admit to anything real about yourself. Playing cutesy word games about your vague sources doesn't impress anyone - offer up your real-world experience or don't be so shocked when nobody thinks you actually know anything.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    To answer the actual OP question, I think women should get paid for sex if they want to get paid for sex. Those who want to charge for it, should do so. But I don't think women who don't are fools. I think that women who don't charge for it and just give it away, not because they actually want sex for themselves, but see it as something to be given for attention to feed their low self-esteem are fools. But at the end of the day, I guess it's not really my business either way what anybody's reasons are for anything involving their own body.

    Sometimes, it is hard for me to see promiscuous women who aren't getting paid and not judge them for it. 1) Working in this industry, it tends to instill in you an automatic $$ calculation for anything sexual you do for a guy. It's really hard to look at an interaction between a man and woman where the woman isn't getting paid and not instantly think to yourself "Damn, she could be making $X if she was charging him!" And 2) I think promiscuous women and sex workers are looked at in the same sort of way by outsiders: That is, when you're viewing them as a group and from your limited interactions with them, it's really easy to say that a lot of women are sleeping around out of desperation for attention, so you just assume that's how everyone who sleeps around is... just like some people see a lot of cracked-out strippers with issues, so they assume we're all like that... but we know that isn't true, so I try to remind myself not to make snap-judgments on the girls I see "ho-ing it up" for free in the bars.

    Complaints? Willful participation negates the proposed complaint. Issues? Persecution complex, for starters; some inferiority issues (Daddy?) when your POV is not accepted. Outbursts with some youthful issues with self-control. That is youth though.

    I figured you for a sock puppet, however I am inclined to agree with others. This is not your first go around with this community. You spend too much time talking about the rules, and you know the Members to well……. Stumbled across this site for politics and relationship advice, really? However, not interested in the Strippers, well except as someone to be confrontational with. Of course, I can believe in stumbling across Stripperweb because of a non-sexual purpose, I myself came because of links to Electronic music. Really Strippers are the show case though, not the music, or the politics. The banter can be quite engaging.

    See here is your misinterpretation of the rules. Your barely tolerated here as am I. You are not a Stripper. I am not a Stripper. I don’t work in the sex industry, and a sex industry documentary viewing marathon is not really going to give you a credible viewpoint as far as the actual sex industry workers here. The rules are for the Sex industry workers, not the gawkers. Your participation can actually (and has) been terminated without cause.

    What do non-industry males do here? Mostly audience participation. The Strippers ask us, and we reply. Is this music ok? What is a good lap dance? What is it we want to be entertained by, and in what manner? Etc. etc. Essentially, the Ladies ask us and we tell them how to better take our money. Win, Win, as each half comes away feeling for the most part like they made a fair exchange. We act as a sounding board to go over ideas, so as to facilitate a better money making night for the Strippers.

    This is where I usually step aside. A remark like that often calls up the hydra attack. If you thought the replies to your vulgar presumptuous arrogance had called forth a backlash before.

    Try this again. Strippers and Escorts have their differences, however one place they do agree, if a non-industry male makes an attack on either, it is an attack on sex workers as a community.

    The clock is ticking.

It is no wonder why so many board members refuse to participate in board discussions and are intimidated to express their opinions out of fear that at any moment an established or so-called senior member will lash out against them, in effect, silencing them.
    That persecution complex of yours is pretty ugly.
    Actually, there are many reasons for why or why not Members participate. It is night as I post this here in the US, a lot of Members are working. A lot of threads could be stopped before they start if newbies would simply acquaint themselves with the search feature. The Members who have been here for years have grown tired of repeating advice given to each new crop of baby strippers disgorged onto the market every summer. Lastly let’s face it times are bad, and competition is fierce, help could well cost someone a portion of their income. Sad on a support site, but we have to be real about motivations. Alot don't read or post outside of their favorite board. It is presumptuous indeed to believe you have the pulse on how a few thousand Member choose to participate.

Initially, when I joined this board, I was naive and believed that the topics under debate were worthy of my time to participate in, and members were genuinely interested in engaging in a dialogue.
    Why should anyone else accommodate your big, big show departure? You can delete your own posts (search feature by right click on your screen name) and you can delete your own profile. It is a feature of your profile. Available anytime.
    Just spare us one thing, be the first to make a dramatic vegas showgirl exit; then not make a new profile to read and respond to the commentary on said exit.
    Want to be the big girl here? Do that.

    Meh, we will see.

    Default Re: Should women get paid for sex?

    I don't think women (or men) getting paid for sex is an ideal thing at all.
    In my unattainable ideal world, people would get married to have kids. Before that or if kids are not in your future, have sex with people you can and do respect, are friends with, and have that 'chemistry' with. If they were really friends, you would not jeapordize their marriage or whatever. As friends, if they really do need help with their finances (and they do work for their own pay), then help them out, and expect that help to be mutual if you need help finaicnally. Or for that matter, moving furniture, babysitting the dog, whatever.
    I would like to feel I have the freedom to f/suck any single woman that fits that category, and I just don't like the idea of play for pay. Dolphins don't do it, and I don't like it either.

    That being said, if a woman has a very interesting specialty service that I cannot get somewhere else, I might be tempted to pay for her services. I just don't know any women I can have sex with who is unwilling to do what I like, or visa-versa.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Fact: Male Dolphins have been known to separate female dolphins from their families and deny them food until they agree to mate.

    So umm yeah looks like they do. But I doubt anyone here is going to trade ass for a can of sardines. Then again maybe someone will for chicken mc nuggets.

    If people are hungry enough they will do it, it is true. The Visigoths were selling their own children to the Romans for dead dogs, shortly before the battle of Adrianople.

It's not about seniority or number of posts - it's about showing that you have a leg to stand on to support your views. Lovelyme is an escort, and admits she's an escort. So when she speaks on escort issues, people here listen to her more. You, on the other hand, have done nothing but make vague references to how you "know more than we could guess" about the escorting world. Look, you either know your shit from experience and you're willing to just SAY that and offer up where you get your info from, or you don't. Either prove yourself or be prepared to be "bullied" by others who think you're full of it. You're an anonymous screen name on the internet - nobody is going to take anything you say seriously if you can't even admit to anything real about yourself. Playing cutesy word games about your vague sources doesn't impress anyone - offer up your real-world experience or don't be so shocked when nobody thinks you actually know anything.
    No, I will not admit to any illegal activities nor should anyone else be forced or encouraged. Did you expect me to publicly post names, dates, places, and activities, etc? How have others proven themselves? Although from time to time there are discussions about escorts on this site, my understanding is that this is primarily a board dedicated to dancers not escorts.

    I have never said, “I know more.” All I expressed was an opinion based on various sources including, documentaries, personal experiences, journal articles, and informal off-the–record discussions with escorts and dancers about the sex industry.

    Whether Lovelyme is an escort or not is beside the point. At this time, I have no interest in verifying that by searching for her escort site, if she has one. I am not challenging her authority or expertise as an escort. She has opinions based on her experiences as an escort; I have mine. It’s that simple.

    A public debate is not about who has more credibility, or about flashing one’s escorting credentials or expertise. Anyone between the age twenty-one and ninety-nine should be able to express their opinions about social issues. You don’t have to be a politician or a political theorist to express a political opinion or to vote for a political party. True, this is an anonymous community, and for good reason. Admitting to something when trust and safety have yet to be established with board members is categorically inadvisable.

    Finally, I object to your use of the word ‘cutesy word games’ to describe the content of my posts. If there is no smiley face included with the content of my posts, rest assured that there is nothing cutesy about them.
