Samuel Clemens was a highly successful author, and a wealthy man. His near bankruptcy stemmed from his failed investments in new technology. BTW, if you find fault with this information (yes, I did watch Ken Burns' documentary), please feel free to explain it to Normy at the other end of the bar.

Am I thrilled at what she does for a living? Of course not, but I DO accept it. Much the same way as the spouse of a cop isn't thrilled that their spouse is a cop, but they accept it. I do get jealous, I am only human. I know how we met and I wonder if it could happen with another. But she helps me through these periods. As I do what I can to help her when she needs me.
That is different. She is having sex as her job. It is not all fun and games for the ladies, it can be quite hard on them. Especially if they have an SO. They are not sex machines, they are human beings, and yes, being a sex worker can be hard on the psyche. As guys we think 'great! you have sex and get paid? Sign me up!" I used to think somewhat like that too, until I saw what it is really like for the ladies.
I went into it thinking it would be easy. It was pretty tough at first, I am much better with it now. It does get easier, though it will never be easy, but, with the right lady, it will always be worth it.
You also have the strength to convince yourself that you don't care if she does several strangers a week. Its surprising how many guys think that a woman can just turn her feelings off and on for the sake of $. Women are an emotional bunch. And sex is an emotional activity. And if ya don't think they enjoy a portion of who they're fuckin', think about the SPs that you've ever gone to see who you know have BFs and who totally get into your session. Her BF is sittin' at home kiddin' himself like you are.TJ in the 'Peg said:I have the balls to love someone for who they are, not what they do. I also have the brains to know the difference.

LOL - You mean jerking a guy off and sticking your finger in his ass is not sexual??? LMAO.
BS.....we're not talking about marriage.....Anita's Massage said:I can afford to be honest, because I don't have sex with my customers. I am convinced that most sp's most of the time are acting. You guys expect them to have a good time with you, and they give you the impression that they do. I know that it is possible for women to stay completely detached while having sex. Just ask wives after a few decades of marriage and they will tell you they can go through the motions while thinking about the laundry....
Oh, I understand all too well, 'my friend'. You don't want to post anymore along this line because you'd rather not talk about it. We aint even close to a flame war here. But I understand that you'd rather read the posts that support your situation. That tell you everything will all work out in the end. I would too. And for your sake, I hope it all does. It sure as fuck was a disastrous time in my life when it didn't.TJ in the 'Peg said:I am not an idiot. I know that there are certainly times that she enjoys herself, especially with favourites, just like any job, sometimes she has a 'good day at the office' But there is a difference between sex and love. Even when she is enjoying herself with a client, all they have is her body, as sappy as it sounds, I have her heart, and that my friend, is the most important organ of all.... sexual or not. I won't bother posting any more along this line, don't want to get drawn into a flame war over something you will never understand...

Getting up the gumption to ask? It seems he came here looking for encouragement, and we've provided plenty of it. And BC_Boy has said that until it's absolutely settled otherwise, he intends to pay full price for a service from which he derives value.craiglist-lover said:But I'm not naive enough to think money won't be a factor, nor can I figure out why someone would wait 2 weeks to act on this. Why not e-mail her (or phone her) and ask her out for coffee. You'll get your answer much quicker and it's much more to the point.
At least one lady has spoken up to say that she likes BC_Boy's "pay for the service you receive" attitude. We don't know if the target of BCB's affections reads the board, but it's not unreasonable to think she might find herself similarly moved. I won't bore anyone with love stories... and they're not my stories to tell anyway. Spend enough time with enough ladies and you'll eventually hear the stories from those a little closer to the action.This going to a session that one hopes ends up magically transforming into a long-term relationship seems a little strange to me, but perhaps I'm just jaded.![]()
Anita's Massage said:We were talking about TJ in the 'Peg's girlfriend and someone said if she is an sp she is enjoying sex with customers.
I said she doesn't have to. It is possible for a woman to have sex without enjoying it.
Slowhand, yours is the most astute observation made thus far in this inane thread. Fantasy, ego gratification, and fields of bullshit stretching off to the horizon...slow__hand said:Have you considered the possibilitythat your willing to put up with anything to have a hot chick? At least for a while....personally I suggest this is a fantasy IMHO. A man will not go for this...unless he dosen't really care anyway...just having fun......GUYS.....step up to the plate and layoff the justifications. Say it like it is.....have you got the balls or what? Say it an't so

Lets hope you don't beat yourself up too badly when that strength you have eventually fades and you're hit with the reality of the situation. Check out the avatar below. Imagine that's your GF and that's some dude that's payin' her. It's okay. It's just a job. Like being a chef is just a job.![]()
OK, so I might not have given the best reply, but I didn't say that you said he shouldn't pay. I was referring to the fact that other ladies seem to be impressed by his behaviour and that may work to his advantage.craiglist-lover said:You've misconstrued my remarks completely. Nowhere did I ever suggest BC_Boy not pay for the service he receive. Show me where I ever said that. I merely said I personally would go about finding out where I stood differently, by completely seperating the desire to see her from the service she provides. Meaning it never even crossed my mind that he not pay for the services he receive.
I wish you would actually read my comments before responding.
Anita's Massage said:GBM, none of my business, but why don't you let her go? Obviously you are not on her side.... An sp takes a lot of shit at work. She needs a safe haven to go home to to relax, not someone who puts more pressure on her.
I understand that it must be hard on the BF as well. I would say let her go! Someone else might be able to handle the situation and make her happy.
Just my 2 cents.
I was in a favourite AMP of mine, knew the girls, and knew that some had BFs and even a husband. Next door to the room I was in was the SP who had the husband at home. It was noisy in there, and then came a very loud, truly-felt authentic "F**K ME!!!!!" from deep in her throat. Startled me and my temporary ladyfriend, whose face bore the look of someone who knew next door some gal was getting what she really wanted at the time. While I certainly do not fall into the category, it is not unusual for SPs in AMPs to get a little excited about the good-looking johns.georgebushmoron said:Love is blind, and makes you tolerant of what otherwise would be intolerable. But one thing for sure, where once I had sympathy that my poor lass was doing a job out of necessity, that sympathy is virtually gone.
If I was to get involved with an SP, I know I have absolutely no right to tell her to retire.Sonny said:I was in a favourite AMP of mine, knew the girls, and knew that some had BFs and even a husband.

The gals in the business do it for the money, no doubt. And, assuming that they are not being forced by some pimp or worse, they have chosen to do the job. It is for many the only way to make serious big money due to lack of language skills, education or job opportunities. It's still a choice which others in the same position did not make. I do not knock SPs for their choice in work; without them, I might be taking huge risks with SWs; I consider that SPs provide a valuable social service.
It is also not unusual for Asian gals in the biz to look for someone who, one way or an other, will provide them with money or assets, even while they are working (cuz $15k to $30k per month is just too hard to give up). And if they are to leave their work for you, then you may be expected to make up the lost cash.
Are there exceptions? Yes, I'm sure. Is yours one of them?
I'm aware of this fact, and I'd make sure she is aware of the dangers. and I'd do whatever I can to provide her with safety; but in the end of the day, if she wants to be an SP, its her choice. I can either a.) complain about it and try and force her to retire, or b.) be supportive of what she does and provide support when needed.craiglist-lover said:You know my experience is much more limited than many on this thread, but I did get reasonably close to one SP and I thought the exact same way you did, that is until she started getting death threats.
Trust me on this when I say I now know enough about this business to know how truly strange and dangerous it can be.
And it's easy to rationize that you will allow someone you care about to make their own decisions regarding working in this profession until you realize they are working in a dangerous environment and you're concerned about their safety.
Now I was never anyone's SO so these choices were never mine to make, but I do know that my thought process around her right to work as an SP, regardless of the consequences, has significantly changed.
