As I stated before in another thread, the only way to "fix" prostitution is to put the control of the trade IN the hands of the women. What that means is the women makes the final decision on who she allows as a client, under what circumstances & is controlled by no one. The problem with modern day prostitition is we've all been galvanized and drawn lines in the sand. People see a "pimp" as some dude in a big hat much like you'd see in a Ice Cube video. A dude that controls women by punishing them in the back of a white van for not hitting quota. That's a stereotype. A "pimp" is any person (male or female) that controls the free choices of a SP (male or female). Does the SP working at the MP have choice on the clients she has to see? No. You take whatever clients come in, that's how the game goes. The reality is the SW has MORE choice on her clients if she's got no pimp than a woman working in a micro/MP. At least on the street you can say no way, I'm not getting in the fucking car. This industry needs to move forward where there is NO control over the SP's unless it's entirely legitimate. What's that mean? It means the SP HIRES and controls someone to answer the phone for her, update her website, answer her emails. She sets the rates, she finds security, she controls everything.
As for the argument about it's a "lack of choice" for women. The world of prostitution has many types of women in it. Everything from broken angry runaways to women that just love sex & the variety working in this trade brings. Is the choice always theres? Easy to say that as a male, isn't it, but if you've got 2 kids and the old man has fucked off well...how do you feed your kids? How many SP's are single moms looking to pay the bills? The sex trade offers flexibility for women who NEED that money. It's so easy to sit as some armchair quarterback and say "well you shouldn't have made this choice"...but that's entirely condescending. Look around your neighborhood at the homeless people. Almost ALL of them are males. Why? Because WOMEN can sell their bodies to eat. Homeless people dig in the fucking dumpster. Once you're in the trade, getting the fuck out is hard. It's an ugly vicious circle. When some 28 year old walks in your office with a resume that has "no previous job experience" for 6 years, are you going to hire her? Not like she can say "I sucked dicks for 6 years" in the qualifications section of a resume. So what choice did that woman who worked in a MP for 17 years have man? If she came to you tomorrow and said I need a job, would you hire her? Probably not.
Too many "pooners" view SP's not much different than the rest of society does. They take no time or effort to understand what they go thru. Maybe you should start. And FYI, I'm not some angry, church going guy that hates the sex trade...my GF is an escort. Just her job doesn't define her..as mine doesn't define me. I'd like the rest of the world to see it that way too.
