Nice day at the orifice?


Sex workers and their supporters protest in front of City Hall in celebration of International Sex Workers' Rights Day in San Francisco, California March 3, 2008. Dozens of sex workers marched to demand the decriminalization of adult prostitution, securing social recognition of sex work as a valid profession and establishing sex workers' right to self-determination. The movement started in India in 2001 when 25,000 sex workers mobilized together to raise awareness of the violence directed at sex workers and their lack of rights.

When I see these sorts of protests by sex workers, of course I believe that they should have rights and not be criminalized, but mostly I think, why the hell are you doing such a dehumanizing job? I mean, sure, I can see why people do it if they are coerced, in the third world where there are no other economic alternatives and even in the first world if you are addicted to drugs or down on your luck, but why not pull out once you are back on your feet? The erotic masseuse, Slutty McWhore, says she does sex work for the money. In her post, If teachers were paid better, then we wouldn't have to become hookers! she talks about how she is thinking of becoming a teacher because she is pissed off at clients asking her for discounts:

"I am always disgusted when someone asks me for a discount. I feel like yelling "You want a discount for ME? ME? ME?!!! Me who has so much fucking passion, and love, and intelligence, and so many dreams, so much of everything! You have got to be fucking kidding!" That sounds arrogant but, ach, what the fuck do I care?! You need to have a large ego to avoid being ground down in this business."

Okay, I feel sorry for you Slutty, but really, your punters just treat you as a sperm eliminating machine, not a person, so why wouldn't they try and get the cheapest deal possible?



And forget about the made up memoirs about happy go lucky college educated call girls. I would love to have this Denver Escort I found on craigslist write a genital warts and all book about her experiences. I found this rant very illuminating. I had assumed that men go to escorts simply to relieve themselves when they have become tired of beating their meat. But according to this escort, most men pretend they are on a date with you, want to make you come etc. Most bizarre! I didn't realize men were quite so self-deluding.

Apparently many of the guys even give her head due to some bizarre need to please, and eighty per cent are terrible at it. This is one of the worst descriptions of oral sex I have ever heard of and I hope to God she gave them some feedback.

"Pussy Eating….for the so-called “experts” Rule #1 Don’t spead my lips apart with your hands so far that they tear the inner soft skin on the vagina….how about I pull your pee hole in two different directions…hmmm?? It would rip the sides…wouldn’t it ?fuck stick?? Rule #2 Don’t suck my clit and labia up into your mouth and catch it on your teeth…..lets say I rake my teeth over your cock? Wouldn’t that feel great?? Rule #3 Keep your tounge on the top or the bottom. The middle of my vagina is my pee hole…I don’t know about you but tounging my pee hole is NOT a turn on….it burns. Rule #4 Lick on TOP of the hood not under. There are 4,000 neves on my clit and it feels WAYYYY to sensitive. Kinda like your cock, JUST after you cum. With that said 80% of guys really really give bad head. That is just my personal observation.
If you ask to extend in the middle of a session, because you are just IN LOVE with me…as most usually are…then make sure you have enough to cover the time used buddy! You can’t refund my time asshole, and just because I didn’t want to get up and talk about business when you asked to extend in my compromising position…don’t take advantage of it and bring less then you think you will spend! Dumb shits…"

Also, how could you do sex work where you have to have sex with a guy with a gimpy arm? The Denver Escort says:

"Why is it I expect the worst when a client walks in or I show up? Ok so you have a gimpy arm that is shorter then the other arm with knubs for fingers and a bit deformed. Even your elfish body and rounded chest sets you apart from other guys. You need love too. Since no one but me will fuck ya, I go at it bravely. But why WHY WHY do you have to be so creepy with that arm? I tried to ignore it, and you then proceed to touch me with it and call them your “special fingers” and then shove your knubly deformed half fingered hand into my vagina trying to ‘pleasure’ me. Not only does that creep me out, but it really makes me wonder what karma I have put out for you to show up at my door. Why must I be punished? Therapy…I need it…"

Personally, I just get so tired of people thinking that prostitution is a valid line of work to get into. Also, I think that pornography is exploitative to women on so many levels. Maybe there is something wrong with me that I think of the people in porn movies as people rather than just orifices, and even if it turns me on, I often think, why are you doing this?

There are lots of reasons for women not to be prostitutes/not do porn, but one of the most persuasive is that women are much more susceptible to STDs than men. In some developing countries, health clinics have found as many as 10-20% of women to be infected with STDs. The sexual transmission of STDs is more efficient from men to women than from women to men. Women are therefore much more susceptible than men to contracting STDs. For example the nice middle class French porn star, Melissa Lauren, who was once a cook and now works for Marc Dorcel Productions has, during her career contracted chlamydia twice and once suffered from a pelvic inflammatory disease.

So what do you think? Why do intelligent women become sex workers or porn stars? And go on, Slutty, let me have it with both barrels.

I was a prostitute for a year. I don't have low self-esteem, have never been addicted to drugs, or have issues. I even had a full-time regular professional job as an editor when I was doing it. I still have that full-time job. I have a graduate level education.

I never had a problem with selling sex, never felt used or exploited or like an orifice. I did for the money and because it was easy money. Very very easy.

Most of the men were bored and underappreciated married men. They were nice and I gave them what they wanted...uncomplicated and good sex without nagging, questions, or illusions.

I'm not a prositute any longer because I grew bored with it, but I look back at the time I was one with a firm sense of appreciation. I learned so much about men, about relationships, and mostly...I learned a lot about myself.

debbie....

intriguing....you must have a unique ability to distance yourself from situations? I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it even if they were nice men etc etc.

BenefitScroungingScum said...

Money, specifically lack of. Plain and simple. I'm in the situation where if worst comes to worst then I'll escort rather than end up homeless, but having had a close friend who made that choice a few years back I think most women, even those who are doing it for money deep down think that they will get a Pretty Woman scenario.

Gorilla Bananas said...

I'm not convinced women in porn films never enjoy it. What about the ones who make their fannies squirt? They must be having real orgasms.

scarlet-blue said...

In response to Benefit's comment: Women can be fools for a fantasy, can't they?

EmmaK said...

GB....okay you've got me there, the ones that squirt are probably are having real orgasms ...you don't say if you approve of porn generally though

benefitscrouningscum...
escort rather than end up homeless
I hope very much that it doesn't come to that.

I must say even I was tempted for a minute to get into the profession after watching sexy Mr Gere in that film!

Gorilla Bananas said...

I only approve of squirting fannies. Anything else is degrading and offensive. And boring too..

Inchy said...

It has to be the money.
Why else would any woman do ass-to-mouth?

Fuck that!

EmmaK said...

Inchy....
lol....
I guess you would have to drink a lot of vodka first to numb the mouth/prevent germs

Inchy said...

I suppose men will more than happily stick it anywhere it can fit.
If women had a hole on the sole of their left foot, we'd happily all be foot fuckers.

EmmaK said...

inchy....it's already been done. In chinese footbinding men sometimes wanted to pleasure themselves by treating the fold of a bound foot like a vagina.

Inchy said...

Damn them and their Asian ingenuity!

Ok, the armpit then!

Wow, that was awkward said...

As a Denverite, this blog made me proud of my local sassy escorts. I'm gonna be on the lookout for deformed arms with nubby special fingers.

You gotta love Craigslist.

moi said...

Money – especially "easy money" – makes the world go' round. And sometimes in not the most delightful of ways.

xl said...

Can't speculate about sex workers or porn stars.

The Peter Sellers movie The Magic Christian had his character, filthy rich Guy Grand, staging various situations proving that people will do anything for money.

An overly developed sense of economics and an underly developed sense of morals.

Misssy M said...

I would imagine that once you do it you realise that you've just earned more for ten mins than you would for something that takes much more effort, takes a lot more time but pays much less.

And once you've gone through it and know that you can do it without totally freaking out, that money is going to be hard to walk away from.

Personally I think it's obvious.

I wonder if perhaps in the wrong place at the right time (perhaps as a poor student perhaps) that the offer of quick cash for an escort job might not have been a little bit appealing...and then once you've done it...you would get used to the buzz of doing literally not much for relatively quite a lot. And then you rationalize it.

I'll never know...it never happened to me. But it could have. It could have happened to any of us.

(I still wouldn't have done Inchy's foot thing, btw)

Inchy said...

It wouldn't happen to me, and believe me, I'd be cheap!

:: Wendy :: said...

whether or not the prostitue 'feels' degraded or empoered is beside the point. They are selling a bodily function along with a fantasy based around a power relationship thier poer is only in supplying the bodily funtion and aligning with the fantasy. By promoting the business and the fantasy they are effectively by their actions condoning those fantasies and that treatment of women as sperm-recepticals existing for thier gratification. They may advocate their intelligence and free will, I wont question that, I do question the implications of their choice

Inchy said...

Yeah, what she said.

Mars said...

i'd probably give it a go simply out of curiosity. although there's a good chance i might not do it as i'd be too picky to get any customers.

Steve said...

Having to perform for a client or a film maker - regardless of how much you may kid yourself that you enjoy it and the money is great - has to be dehumanizing and degrading. It dimishes your entire body to base mechanics and biology... there's no room for a real, thinking, feeling person in the actual act. That is what is wrong with prostitution and most porn. Personally the only porn I really like is the homemade stuff - at least there's a higher chance that all parties are actually enjoying it.

Vodka Mom said...

hey- this is SOME kind of blog. I'll HAVE to come back!

fingers said...

Slutty can object all she likes to being asked for a discount.
Fact is, hookers bearing an uncanny resemblance to Robbie Burns should be grateful for any business coming through the door...

electro-kevin said...

"Oooooh Haggis !"

That was a Robby Burns line was it not, Fingers ?

Emma - I don't know why women prostitute themselves, I would guess for a number of reasons.

I think that many of them must be really nice to give in the way that they do. The lady doing business with weirdo-hand would be my choice for a bride rather than snooty-bitch who wouldn't give head to a minging spazzer just because she thought she was too good to do it.

unique_stephen said...

I've done nude modeling - does that count?

EmmaK said...

fingers....

Interesting. I had no idea you were a client of hers. I sense you did not get serviced in the way you are used to.

unique stephen....it does not count unless you earnt more than five pounds an hour posing nude at the local art college.

badside said...

I think you bring some valid points to the argument, but you are looking at it from your own point of view and not theirs (the hookers). What's right for you may not fit what's right for them either. I have no clue as to the reasons behind a person becoming a hooker. Money would be my guess, easy money that is.

I happen to think that legalization and regulation would solve many of the problems relating to that industry. One, you get rid of the pimps. Two, mandatory STD screenings and condom usage. Three, safety for the hookers, as they could turn to the police for protection, no more street walkers. It's the oldest profession and it's always been around, legal or not, so why not make it legal and try to make it better for those who provide the services?

I'm never sure who is really the one in power, the hooker or the john, after all the john is the one paying to have sex, doesn't that make him/her submissive to the hooker. I personally don't like the idea of paying to have sex with someone, the concept I find to be unsexy in itself. Lastly, although she's probably just shooting off some steam, that hooker shouldn't complain about her nubby fingered john. The guy is there because he wants to feel sexy and get laid and she's there to provide the service of making that fantasy a reality and getting well paid to do it.

"There are 4,000 neves on my clit and it feels WAYYYY to sensitive. Kinda like your cock, JUST after you cum."

So all that writhing was in agony not ecstasy? Oh well, I enjoyed myself, which is the main thing.

EmmaK said...

badside...I agree the industry should be legalized...but at the same time I feel like there is something negative about prostitution, it is just sad that people do it as a career.

the beast of berkely hunt...for some reason your comment reminded me of my favorite joke

What did the leper say to the prostitute?

Keep the tip

(I hope you left a big one Beast!)

the beast of berkeley hunt said...

"Keep the tip

(I hope you left a big one Beast!)"

Huge.

Clyde said...

Why should it be a crime to sell anything that you own ?

Do you have to enjoy it ?---- Does anyone really enjoy doing what they are paid to do ?

Do you take your work home ?

Because someone decides to earn a living by selling their body, why should anyone else try to understand it-----
I dont want to drive a taxi but I'll hire one an I dont look down on the driver or think less of him or her and I'll pay the fare at the end.
If you dont want to sell it, don't.
You dont have to be lured into it.

Friends of mine asked me how I felt when my ex wife was out working the streets or the phones.

My answer was always the same---It's her life, I hope she stays safe and hey---I used to get it for nothing and she is bloody good
