But as a word simply describing paying for sex, I have no issues with it. Everything else you said is spot on. Double standard, paying for time as opposed to sex, a woman's right to her own body -- you're preaching to the choir! I wish more people questioned popular assumptions like you do. XX Anthony,

It gives a negative view of the actual act that takes place. I don't see escorts as prostitutes. Escorts provide a service that may or may not include sexual relations. And I have never UNDERSTOOD the double standard applied here. Let me see if I have this correct. If I meet a women in the book store ask here out to a dinner and play drop $500- $1000 bucks on the evening or two evenings whatever the time period, it's legal. Knowing full well what my intentions are. However, if I pay a woman for her time to be with me I'm criminal and so is she. What Bull. What happened to a woman has a right to choose?! She can choose to terminate a pregnancy, but she CAN'T choose a monetary value for her time?! Lawyers do. Doesn’t that make them prostitutes? Tired of the double standard in this country. Also tired of the government writing laws for the surfs to follow while they give themselves a free pass. That is not what this country is all about. I don’t like the word prostitution.

It forms my main source of income. It's my job, my career (though currently not my only career). My main hobby is reading. Technically, anything you do that produces a profit is not a hobby from the viewpoint of the IRS. That's a very good definition of what constitutes a job. XX Bernie,
