I'm now 65, and what kind of prostitute would I be looking for, which doesn't even exist? Someone around my own age, or 10 years younger. No interest/attraction in young girls or young boys. I'd be purchasing prostitutes today if I could find some hookers in their 50's! And where do you find them?

Even working as a prostitute in my 30's/40's, many welcomed the idea of having sex with someone older and more mature/experienced.

What did I used to hear from my customers:

"My wife isn't into oral sex! She refuses to even consider the idea!"

"I haven't had sex with my wife for 5 years, I'm no longer attractive to her!"

"My wife deems my sexual desires kinky! She's even told me to satisfy them with a hooker!"

"I really think my wife is encouraging me to see hookers, so she doesn't have to have sex with me!"

And, yes, Gay male couples are no different from Hetro couples. I've even heard this from members of same-sex unions:

"I haven't had sex with my male partner for 12 years now. We've become nothing but roommates, like much of the Straight couples!"
Thanks for the tips. I want to keep my boyfriend around.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

In any case, if the modern Westernized woman wasn't so picky, perhaps some men wouldn't feel the need to resort to such practices. Personally, I'm not trying to go through hell and high water just to impress some woman. If a man can't attract a woman who he is also attracted to by just being himself, who can blame him?
Picky? Explain please.

From the resource I already linked in a previous post. I am starting with this reference since you object to my assertions. Well here is a reference to begin my post.

"Decriminalization may also reduce violence by
increasing sex worker’s willingness to cooperate with police and reducing opportunities
for police corruption. Prostitutes commonly report a reluctance to contact the police
when they are the victims of theft or violence. Church et al. (2001a) find that only 34%
of prostitutes who were victims of violence by clients report it to the police. Levitt and
Venkatesh (2007) find that a high prevalence of police o"cers demand sex from prostitutes
as part of an implicit exchange to avoid arrest
. If decriminalization increases the
likelihood of victims reporting crimes to the police, then it lowers the expected return to
a potentially violent client in addition to the aforementioned deterrent e↵ects of security
(Ehrlich, 1973).3 It also implies that police can extract less rents from these women."

-Decriminalizing Indoor Prostitution: Implications for Sexual Violence and Public Health. Scott Cunningham and Manisha Shah. NBER Wor ing Paper No. 20281.

This is inline with my personal experiences. As I said, more than half of my circle of friends have been subjected to violence. As far as I know, zero have reported to the authorities out of fear of being "outed" and prosecuted for prostitution.

I agree with you. Prostitutes are often victims. But what people don't realize that the victimization is often the direct result of our own policies leveraged against them. Your daughter and my friends are victims of the very legal system that should protect them. Once again...

* I do not support street prostitution. No different from selling alcohol on the streets... illegal
* I do not support child prostitution. No different from child labor... illegal
* I do not support forced/pimping of prostitutes. No different from forced against will labor... illegal.
* Prostitutes should be offered a chance to report to authorities. No different from any other citizen.
* Prostitutes should be working as employment "at will" and have the freedom to leave the work at any time. No different from any other job/employment situation. A legal pimp of a legalized Nevada brothel does not have the right to hold any of their employees against their will. No employer should have the right to hold an employee against their will.

These prostitutes are people. Plain and simple. Your daughter and my friends included. As such they should be privy to the same protections offered to all other citizens of this country. This is regardless of whether you agree with prostitution or not... they deserve to feel safe and free to seek authorities in a time of need.

3am ... Santa Monica Blvd... Whores ..male hustlers..he-she's.. Children of the night ( later to become the name of a famous shelter in l.a.), home... Hometown kings and Queens from opakanokie USA... Stardom fleeting into reality...drug addicts.. Hustlers.. Pimps.. City council members.. All trolling the back alleys for "love"...

I stop a male speaking to a he-she I know.. Also know this he she already sentenced for street prostitution with special conditions..hiv positive..
Male id's himself..or should I say I I.d'd him a b of a corporate president out of San Diego.. Picture of trophy wife in his wallet

I have a chat with him about realities of Blvd and the man he was about to engage in sex with..or could already have had with. I asked him if he told his wife.. Or should I say asked him if he believed I would contact his wife to advise her of what he was exposing her to.. Told him he had about four hours..or until before I got off to chat with her... I was very believable .. 647(b) pc accentuated my talk

I always wondered if he did ...

We have a poster claiming to be a male hustler well into his fifties
My experience is that such a story is false.. Males very quickly lose their appeal on the street and go from hustler to hustled...

In the end the city of west hollyweird came down with the edict ..shut this crap down.. Screwing in the bushes and back alleys of Blvd... Which we did..and it moved to outcall
We had a street hustler crew equipped with a new mustang convertible.. And a fifty year old male deputy posing as a chicken hawk... Sometimes there would be mulitple offers to him at the same time.. All videotaped... Many convictions for soliciting with special conditions..hiv positive .. First successful prosecutions for attempt murder in California with disease as the weapon

Every one of the hookers and hustlers were victims or victimized others ..a high..very high percentage used drugs

Losers or sick men pay money for women.. A healthy woman would want nothing to do with using her body as punching board...
Occasionally we would talk to the older hookers... 35 was very very old.. Most looked it...life ahead was tentative at best

Bunny ranch ..yum.. I want a relationship with one of those skanks... So damaged from their experiences that they could never offer a healthy relationship afterwards

So.. For every male on here who uses.. Seeks..promotes.. Prostitution ...
Morality isn't the question ....
You are simply predators... With a wallet

Note: All of my posts are around the prostitute... not the customers/johns. As far as I'm concerned, the priority is to protect the prostitutes. As I mentioned, some countries make the sale of sex legal while making the purchase of sex illegal thus criminalizing the john but not the prostitute. This would alleviate my primary concern that a prostitute should have every right to go to the authorities in a time of need without fear of prosecution or worse.

I definitely agree. Street prostitution is a major problem.

Certainly your daily life experience exposes you to the worst of the worst in prostitution. However, there exists women who enter into this line of work voluntarily and are not "damaged". I know a few. I linked a former cop that turned to escorting and became an advocate in a previous post. THere are numerous members/advocates of sex worker rights organizations that also fall into this category.

I'm not going to argue statistics (they don't exists) but I just want to point out that they exist.... they are just people working an unconventional job.

Well, what do you do about those men that solicit prostitution online? They'll just go online more, ask Josh Duggar about that, and don't tell me that Ashley Madison doesn't have prostitutes or any other kinky dating sites.

You can't get rid of the world's oldest profession.

Except the god that is mentioned in the Declaration Of Independence is not the Christian god. Jefferson was a deist, and gave short shrift to the Christian supernatural mumbo jumbo. He was also a crafty fellow and knew the wording would fly right over the heads of the Christian contingent.

You need to read The Age Of Reason by Jefferson's friend, Thomas Paine.

The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine - Free eBook

From the comments:

"If we think of the Founders as comprised of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, major figure in politics and war that led victory, and the framers of the Constitution, then in terms of religion we have a diverse group. Many, perhaps a majority were titular Episcopalians, but the American branch of the Church of England was all but entirely disposed toward Latitudinarianism, that is to say Deism with sermons. A few were protestants of other denominations, and a handful were Roman Catholic. Some joined with Jefferson, in a more public embrace of Deism. Other's were the same, but in less visible fashion. A few like Paine and Franklin publicly or privately took Deist positions that today would be seen as edging on atheism, arguing that the voice of nature provides surfeit grounds for moral knowledge and human advancement."
