… Because there’s one outside my window right now, which is unusual, I though most of them were near the highway, outside town… And I’m having some thoughts…

And yes I’m an adult.

    Experience as is having sex with a prostitute? If so, that’s a no.

    I have, however, spent time with strippers, hookers, escorts (which is like a hooker but more expensive), phone sex performers, one porn actress and her porn actor boyfriend, and an ex-pimp.

    Back in the day, I moved to a city for a while. Worked as a bouncer for two different guys that owned multiple places, including strip clubs (and gay clubs/bars, plus a sports bar). So I knew a lot of strippers, including a couple that hooked/escorted on the side. That ended up with me meeting other prostitutes and escorts.

    The phone sex workers were similar. Had a friend that did it during college, and met some of his coworkers.

    The porn actors I met at a party semi randomly. Ended up being friends with them for a few years before they moved to Colorado. The ex pimp was a patient.

    Anyway, I don’t personally have an issue with sex work, or the customers using the services. If you decide to, make sure you use a condom, treat them well, and pay up without complaint or negotiating price. Yeah, you can usually get a lower price, but they’re taking a stange cock and a ton of risk, so just pay what they ask. Make sure you’re up front about what you want, and don’t try and switch things up during the service.

    Seriously, be decent to people, no matter what, but the street level sex workers get treated like shit way too often, so be on your best behavior, okay? Use your manners, unless you make an agreement otherwise. This is another human being.

      What the hell happened in this thread? This is the most reddit shit I’ve encountered since coming to lemmy a year ago. Not surprised I’m finding it in a lemmy.world community, either 🙄

        That comment is literally all bullshit, with the exception of the last paragraph where that person made their own real opinion (and to justify it, made shit up) but is a valid point. So please don’t put any merit to it.

          Remember that not everyone is from the same societies.

          For instance my experiences have been largely like his. I didn’t do bouncer work, but drove a taxi, and also knew strippers and escorts.

          What’s so bullshit about it?

                I can substantially assume a lie if no evidence exists. Why the fuck do you all instantly assume everything in the internet is default true? Why am I the crazy one here?

                  It’s not an absurd claim. Why jump to it being false? You’re not “crazy”, you’re just accusatory for no apparent reason.

                  I dated someone who had a roommate that was a sex worker. She was a professional domme; I found her professional profile online along with a non-comprehensive list of services she offered, and it was definitely enough to identify her.

                  I very briefly dated someone that was a stripper, and I’m still irregularly in touch with her (she’s now an upper-level exec in advertising).

                  No, I’m not naming either of them, because it’s not my right to out them.

                  Why is it so hard to believe that someone might know sex workers IRL, and not as a client? Sex workers all have real lives outside of what they do for a living.

          Person online - I’ve been acquainted with a variety of people in the sex industry, without naming any or claiming it as some big and amazing thing.

          Second person online - You’re a liar!
