I really like how they focus on the bad, say it's about the person (woman) being abused etc., but do they actually care about the people (not just women) who actively chose to do this? Nope. Many escorts have come forward, here and in other places to tell of how they were (mis-)treated by police and social workers, being viewed as victims when they were not, being removed from the country even though what they are doing is perfectly legal...
Sometimes it is claimed that there is a financial disparity between the seller and the buyer, that the buyer (they say this but they mean men...) is in a power position... So, how is this true any time the buyer is low income? When the cost of 60min is half their monthly rent and the seller has a job, does this on the side, and can walk away whenever they feel like it (Being used to the extra income is no excuse, they are NOT forced into it)...
When it comes to people who come here specifically to do this it becomes a bit more difficult to differentiate, but when it's someone who lives here, has other income, has access to the social security tthe system does offer, no argument can be made that they have no choice because they do.
Also, nobody who make an argument against the sale of sexual services (you pay for their time and services (you do NOT buy their bodies, no matter what some people claim, that argument is a s weak as claiming making illegal copies is theft (it's not)) always conveniently forget to include any seller who's very much against their trade being illegal, who strongly argues against the Swedish model (I read a long debate article in the UK written by actual sellers who said it will be worse for them if you introduce this in the UK) and who actually do this for a living or as a side gig.
We are always told about the bad side, how it's all trafficking and people (women...) being forced into it, never about the ones that can handle it and see it as a viable source of income.
In my eyes it's a job, pure and simple. One they shouldn't force you into if you're unemployed of course, but one that should be an option no matter your gender.
I've toyed with the idea of selling some services, though naturally it'd be hard for me to find women willing to pay me for them, and since I'm not really into men the services I could offer would be limited to what I'd find OK, but yeah, this does mean I have a valid opinion since I'm actually willing to put myself in their shoes, right? Well, wrong, because 1) I'm male, and 2) despite me (if I do it) obviously making a choice I'd still be considered a fucking victim...
Also, they never seem to consider that while monsters do exist, and some buyers are really viewing you as a piece of meat, MANY sellers can tell you how most of their customers are quite decent, regardless of if they have chemistry with them or not, I mean I see it as a date with a known outcome, and I really have no reason to mistreat anyone I meant unless they treat me badly, and in the end I will at most write about the bad experience online and maybe ask the seller in a message what happened to the promised service :p
I'm no saint, but chances are that if I've met someone they didn't hate me, and some, I know, actually had a good time with me, something which is evident when you end up cuddling and talking about life and other things besides sex.
But yeah, I deserve jail time and being subjected to character assassination. Yup.
