Varsovian Mar 11, 08 - 2:42 PM	Prostitutes - personal experience Seeing the recent thread threw up some memories I have of sex workers in Brussels. They were a really sad bunch of losers. A plethora of problems - drugs and violence in the main. I found it astonishing that anybody could live that way. And they were all kleptomaniacs and compulsive liars. And the kids they had were brought up as horrific human beings. I was brought into contact with them through charity work, by the way. http://www.mouvementdunid.org/ Poland is strange in a way, in that there is also a culture of "sponsorship" here. This works as follows: Polish girls works as a mistress to 2 or 3 men - often to pay her way through university.

If you watch late night tv in Poland, you'll see graphic and explicit adverts from girls looking for sugar-daddys. Channel Tele5 after midnight.
Neil Mar 11th, 2008 - 7:44 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience I'm not an expert on the subject, but, Poland is the only country where I've seen prostitutes on main roads waiting for clients. Is it illegal there?
Another Ania Mar 11th, 2008 - 9:32 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience I've seen a streetwalker in Prague.
Hans Mar 11th, 2008 - 9:47 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience There are prostitutes the world over. For many women it's easy money.
Another Ania Mar 11th, 2008 - 10:56 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience I can't believe it is easy for any woman Hans. It's disgusting to have strangers pawing you and entering your body, never mind how much they pay. I could never do it. I reckon most women who do this start from desperation. I guess once you have tried it, there is no going back so they carry on. Then again I don't understand women who want to sleep around with strangers they meet in bars.....
Hans Mar 11th, 2008 - 11:57 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience "Then again I don't understand women who want to sleep around with strangers they meet in bars..... " True. I don't see much difference to this and doing the same - but for cash.
wildphelps Mar 12th, 2008 - 10:35 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience I remember seeing a Newt Gingrich (a former Republican politician and Speaker of the House of Representatives for those who don't know/remember) speech in which he stated that marriage is basically a form of prostitution: a women gives sex/sexual favors for a lifetime of security (physical, economic, etc.). He has been married three times and was just as big a philanderer as Clinton.
Angela W Mar 12th, 2008 - 10:41 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience he stated that marriage is basically a form of prostitution: a women gives sex/sexual favors for a lifetime of security (physical, economic, etc.). -- In many cases this is true to some extent.
Another Ania Mar 13th, 2008 - 12:45 AM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience I don't understand women who can marry someone they don't fancy, just for financial security and and a nice house. I could not bear for a man to touch me if I'm not attracted to him.
Varsovian Mar 14th, 2008 - 9:07 PM	Re: Prostitutes - personal experience Prostitution is a form of exploitation which profoundly affects the pscychological make-up of the person involved. It's not easy money, it's certainly not marriage, and it's not a normal sort of job.

I could not bear for a man to touch me if I'm not attracted to him” Yes, witness Hillary Clinton. “which profoundly affects the pscychological make-up of the person involved” Yes, witness Hillary Clinton.
