Peace Guy put it very well in his posts.
Back in the eighties a service was a service. There was a basic price for the hour of time, and the sexual acts were priced separately. The act of selling sex was limited to the sp and not the agency, who only sold the time slot.
The client could choose what he wanted from the list. Some women, myself included, found it more comfortable to charge a flat rate for included services and create a more natural flow to the time.
In the nineties the agencies took over obtaining payment for sexual services...although they wriggled around explaining it to the new girls. During that period the service became very mechanical and abrupt, and often downright dishonest.
Those few women in each agency who added a personal intimate feeling to their services were labeled GFE. I was considered the ultimate GFE by the Madame I worked for. I did not ever have unprotected sex.
Today GFE has become synonymous with unprotected sex. This phenomenon has blossomed in the last 5 years.
A worker I know who has been out of the biz for 5 years just got back in. I explained what GFE is and she said:
"Holy Shit! I am here to make money, not catch a fucking disease!"
My sentiments exactly.....
Every business owner is entitled to run their business as they see fit. Restaurants, tire shops, shoe stores, etc...etc...you will return if you get quality service at a reasonable price. I will pay more for a product at a business I trust because I know I will be taken care of in the event I need to return an item...I like to reward honest business people with my patronage too! I understand that it is unfair to lure a customer with the promise of something great, only to find out there are hidden costs.
"We are in it for the money" yes, we are. I would not take the risk of fucking strangers if I did not see an opportunity to better my life.
I also own and operate a small business. I am in that to make money too. I purchase products at wholesale prices, mark them up, and sell them to customers. Nobody has ever made me feel like a bad person for being a business operator and they all understand that I am making money off them.
Hands up all you who work at a job or business and are not in it for the money, meaning, you would show up for that job and do it for free.
