It's all an act...

[Long Dong Silver]

...according to Kate Holmquist in the Irish Times today, anyway.

The gist of the article is that any affection, any pleasure on the part of the ladies is entirely a performance and that all punters are misogynists (hate women) and unable to form stable relationships with women in the "real world".

Any thoughts?

She makes that point, but clearly considers married men who visit escorts are men who couldn't form proper relationships with women, otherwise they wouldn't visit escorts in the first place.

Stupid article. I don't sell my body I sell a service. I find it degrading that people talk about selling my body - it's misogynistic. It implies that my body as a a female is defined by it's sexual aspect. My body does a lot more than has sex. I went for a swim an hour ago, which body also can do.

People will do this job no matter whose children it will be. I doubt anyone aspires their children to be cleaners, but they deserve protection with this job and the Swedish Model is hardly doing that as sex workers spend more time trying to make the punters feel safe rather than themselves.

Well, I agree. I don't consider myself a misogynist or unable to form "normal" relationships with women either.

Where do you stand on her assertion that every appointment is nothing more than an act on the part of the escort?

To be fair, I'm doing role play it is. I pride myself on the accuracy of my performance you know!

I'm guessing you didn't see the reply Kate gave you?

Catriona,

I wish you best in argument but people like Kate already know best and your opinion doesn't count in their mind. Scariest comment on a similar IT article was that which stated that you shouldn't listen to/ take into consideration sex workers opinions as they were all coerced. Utter tripe!

Discussed potential criminalisation with my god-fearing upright father in his 70's who could only shake his head and say people will always want sex and the main issue is making it safe. like German model, but apparently that offends people like Kate who believe all paying for sex is demeaning and immoral.

Personally as an occasional user of escorts I generally enjoy myself, treat them with respect, hope they enjoy it and find the whole experience more honest than dealing with wife
