    just so you understand: prostitutes make bank manipulating emotionally vulnerable men

    a common phenomenon is men thinking they have “something special” with a prostitute except that prostitute has “something special” with like 40 more deadbeats and those sorry deadbets send her money in wire transfers monthly

    sorry for the depresso posting but it isn’t as rosy as you’d think

      I have to grapple with where I stand with prostitution.

      On one hand legalising prostitution probably prevents higher incidence of sexual violence because at least the “horny” component underpinning sexual violence has been dealt with safely

      On the other hand, it’s sad to see people get strung along in these arrangements where it clearly looks like they’re being taken advantage of. (Emotionally lead on to believe they have something special)

      However it may be “sad” to us the observers; but maybe this illusion is the best some of these people could hope for.
