Sugar daddies

Now look Wobblybits, if I'm paying for it, I want to see what I'm buying, Start posting pictures with an erection.

Looks like there is a problem with my email, I have not received any of the offers that must have been sent

Tarts ! Ask those same girls in 20 years time if they are still so proud of their prostitution and i bet the answer will be no.

My body is open to offers, start bidding ladies

The problem is that in a society where people can quite freely sell their bodies for sexual use others begin to assume that everyone is available at a price.

We have enough problems at the moment where it is assumed that if a woman dresses to look good then she must be seeking a sexual encounter. If it was assumed, as it would be, that any woman between, say, 16 and 30 is available for a price, young women would as a group be seen primarily as sexual objects rather than the active intelligent rational beings they are, seeking education and careers.

This fscility would, I assume be accepted across all gender couplings, but it would be young women who would be the main victims.

I can't imagime a situation where a woman would wait hand and foot on a man, the again, perhaps

There was a case in the paper recently of a scheme whereby a student lived with a pensioner no sex involved, A reasonable rent and it gave the pensioner a new lease of life to have someone young around. I think foreign students are more into doing this as they are used to the idea of having elderly relatives living with the family. Obviously there would be the possibilty of abuse (eg the student stealing money etc) but most people are kind and honest.

Yes, prostitution, and no, nothing wrong if that is the choice they make. Selling the assets they have.
There is no way in the world I would and I doubt my daughter would either far too much personal pride and dignity.

Yes, you only have to look at the spate of girls selling their virginity online to the highest bidder a couple of years ago to see that it's a sign of the times.

I've decided that actually I can see very little wrong with what they are doing. Once upon a time some things were considered to be above commercial value. I'm thinking of education, health care etc. Now everything has a price on it. So why young women shouldn't carry this on to cover their bodies and sexual services I don't know. It is the ultimate result of a society where there is a price tag on everything.

Good point wondergran, it's becoming much more difficult for mature students. I was a single parent when I went to the Poly. I was sponsored by my future employer, had a very low income, which was just above what I'd have got on the dole. I enjoyed the course and the freedom that comes with study. I came out with a good professional qualification and no debt. If I was in the same position today, I'd owe about £60,000 minimum by the time I qualified. Would I have done the training, nope, I'd have remained working as a PA. We're heading for a place where all our nurses, social workers, teachers etc are young graduates, rather than the great mix of former hair dressers, engineers, merchant seamen, secretaries, police officers who in the past could get a small grant, supplement it by working in holidays or evenings and bring a real mix of life experience along with their professional qualification to their new careers
No sugar daddies wanted or needed

I guess they are very keen for it NOT to be seen as prostitution because of the legality of it plus are these sums of money gifts or taxable income? I hate the idea but money talks. My daughter is £47,000 in uni debt, struggling to get a job that isn't zero hours and crap pay and has a little boy to support. Life is so bloody unfair at times.

It was a tongue in cheek statement izzypopbottle

Gosh, BlueBelle, do you think these girls list their sugar daddy as a legitimate job on their CV? ?

Well I couldn't afford to get my kids through uni so they all worked I mean proper work to fund themselves and did it completely on their own The girls interviewed did not look as if they came from poor families but even so I would have thought a regular job would look better on the CV

I would not have done this, or anything like it myself and I'd hate it if any of my children did. It's selling your body for money, that's prostitution . I agree with Elegran, if these young women had respect for themselves, they wouldn't do it. My daughters worked in retail and in bars to supplement the money we were able to give them. Good for them, they're in their 30's and have worked in some way since 6th form and honestly, I consider its been good for them. I'm not going all Yorkshire - Luxury - about this,just the idea of them selling themselves so they could have a new handbag makes me feel rather sick.

A very vexing situation. If the girl feels happy and at ease with what she does, and if she doesn't do it for many men, is it being a "mistress" or "courtesan"? arm candy? who knows?
I saw an interview of a girl and her mother, the mum was perfectly happy with the situation...
I'm not sure I would have done it, or perhaps if all was needed was company - if being a hot-water bottle was involved, I think I would have not done it. I was fortunate that my parents could afford my fees, etc...

I'm still wondering if I would have done anything like this if I hadn't had a grant when I was at college. I'd like to say a definite 'no' but if the bloke wasn't too bad I'm not sure. I did some shitty jobs in the holidays that I would have been pleased to walk away from.

Maybe if they some decent respect for themselves they wouldn't do it.

Well maybe if they got a decent grant they wouldn't have to do it.

Indeed, Nannanoo, and what pleasure could a rich middle-aged or older man possibly find in spending his money on a young, intelligent girl who is willing to go to bed with him in exchange for access to his credit card, with no hanging round dodgy houses of ill repute and hoping he won't get his pocket picked or find he has gone home with more than he thought he was buying.

Wonder what the same girls would say if their own father was emptying his bank account on some gold-digger?

Certainly, the old fashioned idea of the 'kept woman' was disapproved of as just another form of prostitution, just not selling to multiple punters on the street. I've often heard of women within marriage using sex to get things bought for them and, in the days when women gave up work when they married, they were kept, financially, by their husbands. The husband got sex (and housekeeping of course). That's a kind of trade, isn't it?

I suppose more recent generations see sex simply as an activity rather than putting it on a pedestal. (Does that sound bit athletic? ?) Perhaps it's just a sign of the times. Attitudes began to change with the advent of the pill. Saving yourself for marriage was, after all, the surest form of contraception. Now here we are with rampant STIs and one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the developed world! Sex isn't special. That's progress....apparently.

As Caroline Ahern said when interviewing Debbie about her marriage ....tell me, what was it that attracted you to the balding, middle aged MILLIONAIRE ....?

Say no more ....but at least they did get married. I wonder how many balding, middle aged men on benefits attract a 20 something .......?

How can it possibly be prostitution if you're a nicely spoken, middle-class girl? Really!
