The Show Can Start as Soon as I See Money on the Table


Now, I want every one's opinion on this one, all right? See, please comment and add your two-cents. But please, don't be snobby about it. I don't want to debate you, I want to hear your opinion. Be nice, kiddies...


Strippers. Porn stars. Hookers. Call girls. We all know they are out there. We all see them, whether it be for a brief second as we drive by, or, just perhaps, a few of you have had stolen moments with these folks. Regardless, in today's society, you can no longer deny the existence of these women.


As a woman, it seems society has put the burden on me of hating these women, finding them disgusting and grotesque... but what if I don't?


Granted, I don't want to be any of the above listed professions, but does that mean I have to hate them? Before I was... removed from my home... I lived with my mother who was a stripper, and through her I met many woman who did a multitude of sex related things for money, and maybe because of that it grew on me as a normal happening so as I grew older, it didn't faze me like it did other kids.


But what I never got was this: A lot of women I know say it's fine for a woman to be promiscuous and sleep with hundreds of men because it's their right as a woman, but as soon as money is thrown into the equation, all of a sudden the women are disgusting pigs. As an added bonus, a lot of the people who are throwing around these insulting terms have never even met a stripper or hooker.


I know women who go into stripping to put food on the tables for kids; I know women who do it because they enjoy it; and I even know women who go into selling their body because they like sex.


As a Criminal Psychologist, I understand why porn can be viewed as a hazardous, dangerous thing and the affect it has on a handful of men (women too), but the psychologist part of my also understands why women do what they do, no matter the reason.


So, what do you think?

My thoughts on the subject..
women who "don't" do not like women who "do" because of "their" man. If a don't woman's man gets it from a do women then it is so totally "not his fault" because she just threw it on him. If he, on the other hand, PAYS for it then gosh, somehow it he has to own some of the responsibility!
The men just want it for free and it pisses them off to have to pay at all. :)

I have no problem with it as a profession, as long as it is the woman's real choice - rather than being forced into it through not having any other option.
But if it is her free choice, I think we need better laws that could make the industry safer.

I don't think it's a 'bad' thing to do - there's a market for it and I think a woman is entitled to use her sexuality in any way she chooses. If it's to earn money, it's her decision.

I know if I could, and I looked right, without the danger and my fear of what people think, I would do it.
I can't see any problem as long as it is the woman's free choice.
