Re: Sexual Things....

Yep! I know because I have a friend who worked at one for quite a number of years and went on to do fetish modelling.

I mean, it's rather what you'd expect in that they usually tend to be older women in the 40-60 range, but women do pay for sex. Honestly if it's legal and there's nothing skeevy going on, why not go for it? Probably easier and safer than trying your luck on craigslist.

Yeah, but everything is safer than Craigslist. Telling Jeremy Clarkson there are only egg and cress sandwiches for dinner is probably safer than craigslist these days.

I mean particularly the T4X sections. Apparently it's just infested with junkies looking to get high in my quadrant of the globe.

Or, really: http://pervocracy.blogspot.com/search/label/craigslist

Short version: No, getting sex via craigslist is not more unsafe than any other method, provided you take the same precautions you would for anything.

See, I've actually considered it, but besides the illegality that might ruin my career there is the fact that I'm fairly unattractive by society's standards, and I'm scared that a prostitute would be visibly grossed out by having sex with me.

Actually, this is my problem with finding a sex partner in general. I'm terrified of visible rejection.

Sex workers are usually pretty understanding about that type of thing. They realize there are reasons people pay for sex. And if you're really willing to pay a lot of money... yeah. I don't think that visible rejection should be too high on your list of worries.

I'm pretty sure prostitutes get not-traditionally-attractive people ever day.

Oh, I'm sure the women get unattractive men all the time. But in my experience men tend to be more judgmental about looks and react more visibly about their lack of attraction, and while I know there are pills to make things work when they aren't actually turned on, they can't really fake it the way a woman can.

Re: Sexual Things....

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2015-03-25 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
So, approximately how many male sex workers do you know in order to make this kind of observation?

[personal profile] philstar22 2015-03-25 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not male sex workers, just my experience with men in general which has not been very good.

Re: Sexual Things....

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2015-03-25 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sex workers aren't "men in general" though. And I mean, they aren't "women in general" either for that matter.

I've heard the job described as part actor, part therapist, part conversationalist... and I have known quite a few people who have been involved in all sorts of sex work (from porn actors to amateur strippers to naked sushi tables to cam work).

Trust me, being less than beautiful is not going to faze someone whose customers are literally almost all less than beautiful.
