Hooker?

[fuji]

ONLY acceptable words are sp, service provider, prostitute and/or escort.

Not callgirl or courtesan? I think rather than making a list of "acceptable words" it's better to consider how the word is used. I can imagine any of the words you gave being used with malice, and I have heard "whore" used without any ill will. Personally, I love whoring so much that I have a hard time using a word like "whore" with any malice Certainly though I'm sensitive to the fact that it's ordinarily used as an insult, so it's a word that should be used with care.

The use of the words sp and service provider is fucking silly and those words are really ambiguous terms to define something that is very clear. If you are trying to describe a woman that sells sex for money you should use the proper terminology such as a prostitute, escort, hooker or whore.

I'm sure the women about whom you use those terms feel affirmed. Politness goes a long way. Just because perhaps it is accurate to use a term doesn't mean that it is polite to do so. Do you also go around talking about cripples and retards as well?

Hooker is demeaning.

Let's use Hookah instead.

Isn't a Hookah that middle eastern pipe thingy you smoke hash out of????

I can tell you Whore and Hooker, while fun and hot to hear during a hardcore BDSM scene with the RIGHT PERSON.... will warrant a punch in the head if you just called me that for no reason or you called me that without my being comfortable with you! It's like the N*****, F** and C*** we can't say it but they can say it, well ok I say C*** lots but I'm a girl.... I know if I saw you and JUST met you and you choose to use such language you would promptly be shown the door without a refund!

I tend to hear streetwalkers referred to as hookers more often than independent and/or agency escorts. Maybe the socioeconomic position/quality of the clientele dictates the language used to describe the lady. Just a half-baked theory.

Usually people try to soften terminology to refer to things that aren't very palatable from their frame of reference. I don't think there is any shame for a girl to rent out her pussy. I guess you think being a whore is a bad thing kind of like being a cripple or a retard? I think the real issue is not with the word whore/hooker but rather people's inability to accept a whore for what she is/does.

I think a lot of SP's do. If you believe I'm incorrect - how many SP photographs with faces clearly visible do you see.

I also feel the language is crude and impolite.

I agree with you 100% and look forward to the day when the word "whore" loses its punch because the underlying concept is no longer stigmatized, the way the word "gay" has lost its punch.

On the other hand, it's not that day yet, and you have to take care when using those words to ensure that the people hearing you already know that you don't consider it offensive. Otherwise they'll misinterperet what you are saying and feel insulted.

I still don't like the word but perhaps the day of which you write will come, although I will view it as part of our society’s increasing coarseness. At present I think the proper analogy isn't with "gay" but rather with F_ g or other pejorative slang words - such as the "N word" - which I suggest very much still have the power to hurt and very well may start an altercation if one uses them.
