Stripper as a wife.

Some woman had to decide one day that it was profitable to sell herself for money. So yes, it was created somewhere by someone.

Quote:

Minna, the outspoken one, said, "If it weren't for married men, we couldn't have carried on at all, and if it weren't for cheating married women we could have made another million."

There's more money in illegal as opposed to legal prostitution, or so it seems.

How did we get from Strippers alleged intellect to a crime report on Chicago prostitution?

This thread may get the record for tangents (myself included). I need to draw a flow chart 'cause I'm fascinated about the directions the convo takes.

Yes, sadly joe, there are broken people in every profession.

However, I feel there's something much more damaging in objectifying a person, by staring and getting arousal from blatently staring at her genitals, then by politely passing the time of day with the bank teller, or cashier. We are not lusting after the cashier.

You mentioned prudishness before Thomas...what I am saying is more self respect.
There is a lot of ground between the 2.
It's difficult for, in this case, a woman to maintain healthy self respect for herself, when you receive the message for hours on end that all you are is a pair of breasts, or exposed genitals.

I heard/read of strippers saying they felt power over men because of what they have, i.e. their body, which was being lusted after. (btw, there's a difference between healthy desire and lust)
I've felt that power, but it isn't really a satisfying one in the long run. It's such an easy power to have, not challenging, and not one that produces healthy feelings.

Here you go, Ragman (Found with a simple search for "cjhsa".)

Thanks, Thomas (I think). While I did the search I still somehow missed it. I feel sad to see it actually. It' all so tedious when there's just no reason for that comment. Just one more example of sick racist/anti-Jewish crap.

Sorry for the quibble, but prostitution isn't selling yourself -- it's renting yourself out, or getting yourself hired.

A customer doesn't pay a prostitute for sex; he pays her to leave afterwards.

Could you imagine taking Ragman to a Don Rickles show? Geesh.

Could you please pass the wet-naps? There seems to be something on my keyboard....

Give me a break, it was a joke.

The "John" can pay, or he could stand the chance of having his throat sliced ear-to-ear. The decision is his.

Thomas, you are posting for the sake of posting.

Your quibble isn't worth responding to.
