Asking a board filled with men who pay for sex and women who sell sex will obviously result in an overwhelming majority who think it's normal.
It's just my opinion that it isn't.
Ok. Which brings us back to the question of what the definition of "normal" is.
It seems to me that people are using it in different senses here.
At one time it was not normal {popular} to believe the earth was round, but there was nothing wrong with that idea. Just don't say it aloud and keep your head.
There are plenty of guys who have no problem getting sex from women at no cost financially and with little time investment.
I think so, though i'd be interested in the specifics re time, sex & the looks of both parties, etc.
I suppose i could do the same with the 70 YO down the hall, or even unattractive middle aged
ladies my age. Have never tried though & i doubt i ever will when i can pay the young hottie to
do it immediately without any significant blabbing, relationship entanglements or feeling i'm
leading someone down a path for my own ends that i'll probably cut off.
Still choosing to pay for it from drug users on the downtown eastside boggles my mind but maybe they think it's normal. Go figure.
This is starting to drift a bit off topic, but here is my post from a thread that no longer exists, started by Dood who had, i guess by his own request, all his posts and discussions deleted:
BBFS is out of the question, even if the lady has provided me with her blood tests showing all negative results. BTW i have asked for and recieved such down there. As for why would around 27% of PERB voters go to SWs, the streetwalker thread/poll started by dood discussed that already:
1. Money...SWs can be much more economical, especially if you are into a couple hours a day.
2. Thrills...such as doing it outside, standing in the alley, or in your car, etc.
3. Compassion...some guys feel sorry for these women, want to help, protect them. Give the
HIV infected a hug. So figure if they are going to poon anyway, it may as well be there.
Every second they are with a decent guy, they are not with an abuser like Pickton.
4. Convenience...for various reasons, some may feel they are easier to hook up with. Not
so many do's and don'ts, or hoops to jump through, for example.
5. Privacy...They don't require you provide them with any personal info.
6. Postpayment...quite easy to get agreement here, probably moreso than advertisers.
7. SP Cruiser brought up a very important point here. With many online and newspaper advertising
SP's not having any face picks on their website or in their ad, or often a purposely blurred one,
they are at a disadvantage to SWs. Pooners can not only see them from their vehicle, but also
park, walk up to them for a closer look, and have a free chat to get a feel for the SW. Some-
times she will want to get a "feel" of you too, to assure herself you are not LE.
As for the risks being "much higher", how high is high, & do you have stats/proof to back that up?
I've read of SP's here who use drugs, see homeless clients, clients who visit SWs, etc. How many
SP's have shown you their STD test results?

MAN!
Hastings is such a hole, Id dont undertsand why you guys even bother down there. Is it the toonie BJs or what ?
In my van days I wouldnt be caught dead working down there in that sick place it was just to crazy even just walking by.
The going BJ rate is usually $20 & up, not $2.
Why go down there? Guys have various reasons, i'm sure. For examples:
1. Economy. Why risk 200 on something you can get for 20?
If the 20 is blown on a ripoff, so what? But 200 is another story.
Not all can afford 200.
2. Danger. The thrill of it all in that area. Like bungee jumping.
3. Pearls. There are some great finds down there. Not all are
thieves, con artists, WOT's, or hard core addicts.
4. Destiny. God/Fate/whatever draws you there for some purpose.
5. I'm sure posters hitrack & Hatrick can give you a few pointers ;
