The' Hobby'

[VIPhunter]

I admit upfront that I only use the more tame end of the industry (Strip Clubs).

When I joined the board, a while ago, there was a term used for guys who engaged with sex workers, as hobbyists. I saw myself just like that. An odd, or sometimes frequent visit to a SC would inject some spark into a humdrum (yet satisfying) life, and as far I rationalized nobody got hurt.

The term Hobby seems to have fallen out of favour on this board, and I wonder if it's time to change that back?

With the near introduction of the Anti-prostitution law, might it not be a good idea to switch the Language from a 'business' model to the concept of everybody engaging in a hobby as equal and willing participants?

I am under NO false illusions that business is business...I just wonder if framing the debate to the public, that we're all doing this pretty much for fun, and money only exchanges hands to cover expenses might be to the industry's advantage. (More like a swinger's club model)

Not a fully formed thought yet, but I submit it for your consideration.

This is not a bad train of thoughts.

Let's say a "membership" with agency X to indy private club Y would give you access to facilities and services geared towards improving your overall well being. I am no lawyer, but to me it could work.

Seems like there is not too much interest in the idea. With all the bitching about the new law, there should be some ideas.....

Expenses being what, precisely? Always good to think about things but the result is the same. Paying for membership in a club whose sole purpose is to allow you to have sex (I don't give a shit if you also get a monogrammed wash cloth and a cheese sammich) is....

Wait for it....

Paying for sex

Paying for sex

Is it? Is paying for a room at a hotel, dinner and perhaps a car ride back and forth of your date "prostitution"...........Now many men's rights groups may say it is, but I doubt the law sees it that way.

 

[DB123]

Yes

And as to your second question, that's not prostitution, it's having an affair.

Like I said, it's good to think about things but like you said, it's not a fully formed thought.

Not a bad thought. it would all boil down to what "expenses" are being covered.

Many years ago, I was approached by some like minded gents who wanted to pool our resources to rent a condo. We would all chip in and have a place to "hobby". It was just a handful of guys, and it didn't cost much ($400/month). I didn't partake (not my thing), but it apparently worked well for quite a while.

Or we could just keep it on the down-low. You know, much like we do now.

You are aware that every guy on this board who uses incalls, MP's, or gets a BJ at a strip club has been breaking the law up to now, right

And here I though I was the only one that noticed...

I like the down-low idea better, If and when the law is truely inforced. Before hand get a collection of your 20 fav. ladies with thier nmbers and let them
know what your plan is, whether it be your place, thier place or a hotel. I believe you'll have alot of takers. and it will keep you out of the limelight as well.
This is called going underground.
