At what point do PL-Dancer become John-Whore, and is that a bad thing?

drewcareypnw
not the real drew carey, but I play him at strip clubs...
Where do you draw the line in your mind between "lap dance" and "I'm buying sex from a sex worker" ? Air Dance? Inside the 3-foot-rule perimeter? Deep grind? Motorboat? Hand on boob? HJ/BJ/FS? FRMO is disqualified.


Moreover, does this matter? Is paying for sex a bad thing inherently, or can it be a simple business transaction without moral implications?

    I see nothing immoral about paying for physical pleasure.

    I think its more complex than it seems. When he pays for sex is the obvious answer.

    But I'd say when he forms any sort of attachment and keeping it is contingent on him paying for it.

    Paying for sex isn't bad. What's bad is the exploitive nature of sex work. The myth of the happy hooker is just that. There's no escaping the dark underbelly of prostitution. Denying it is delusional.

    I think a well adjusted trick is honest and doesn't sugar coat it. He's accountable.

    This is the sort of navel-gazing internal debate that most often happens to a guy who is relatively new to strip clubs. I don't care.

    "Paying for sex" covers a lot of territory. It is not automatically bad, but there are forms of paying for sex that are horrific.

    It's sex work if it caters to the sexual and/or romantic needs of customer. Physical contact or lack thereof is irrelevant.

    Sex is generally dangerous, because it often triggers emotions in unpredictable ways.

    So “John” and “whore” are pretty derogatory terms. So I guess it gets to that level depending on what social circle you’re in and what act is the line where something is considered derogatory.

    Is it shameful to admit going to a club to stage tip? That’s the line. Otherwise it’s not.
    Is it shameful to admit to getting a lapdance with no touch allowed? That’s the line. Otherwise it’s not.
    Is it shameful to admit to getting a lapdance with two way contact? That’s the line. Otherwise it’s not.
    Etc
    Etc
    All the way to…
    Is it shameful to admit to getting full service sex work? That’s the line. Otherwise it’s not. (Tho for the most part, I don’t think anybody has avoided that last step being a taboo in some way. An individual can be at peace with his/her own actions. But as far as whatever society or social circle one is in…)
  • nicespice

    Personally what *I* consider whether something is “bad” or “good”: can you look at yourself in the mirror and feel at peace with yourself. Do you feel a need to sugar coat your actions somehow, and can you be honest with yourself at bare minimum about your actions, etc

    Even if not honest with *others* for whatever reason, at least the self? (Though if one is in a situation that requires lots of sneaking, that will take a mental and emotional toll too, and not ideal)

    It may sound like a ridiculous thing from me to say, but lots of dancers and customers both are full of shit about things that are small and shouldn’t even matter. That behavior stems from somewhere

    Also bad: acts that have to do with crossing the boundaries (physical, emotional, psychological, financial) of others in some way. That is beyond the scope of this thread though.

    Oooh boy.

    So as far as customers, for example, pay attention to who I end up trolling the most on this site, and try to guess why. There are also some who I end up questioning certain things they may say but I might refrain from calling them out for whatever reason.

    For dancers:

    Money brags that have nothing to do with the conversation at hand.

    Hating on extras, and taking the initiative to complain vs responding to someone ever, but suspiciously hanging out in clubs known for activities for extended periods of time.

    Talking about making trips or something extended and alone with a customer but didn’t have sex (even if true, who freaking cares at that point)

    Etc

    Lap dance = whatever she feels like doing for the 10 or 20 or 25/song

    Paying for sex from a sex worker = paying extra money for her to give an HJ, BJ, FS, or ZJ (ZJ -- come on, somebody here has seen Beerfest, right???)


    Whether it's a bad thing depends on your own comfort level (I'm not comfortable paying for sex... I'd rather hook up with a girl who wants to do it), and / or whether it requires you to be dishonest with a significant other.

    I think if you have to lie to or hide it from a wife or girlfriend, that's where the immorality comes from...not from a law or cultural "norm", but from an intentional breach of trust.


    If you're single, or you have an arrangement with your s.o., I think two consenting adults should be able to make whatever agreement they want. As Johnny Lawrence would say, hashbrown legalize it.
  • ilbbaicnl

    Many people are bad at managing money, it's smug and nasty to be judgmental pr condescending towards them. Sex work is gig work, so unpredictable income stream. Sex workers tend to be younger, have had less time to build up savings. The main moral issue is dealing with sex workers having a financial crisis and feeling pressure to push their boundaries. If possible, get more of her services within her normal boundaries, don't see it as an opportunity to get extras she hasn't provided previously.

    Concerns about "cheating" generally seem sadly superficial to me. If somebody honestly loves you, they should be concerned if you feel sexual frustrated. They shouldn't be focused on enforcing their property rights over you, or feeling that your frustration is a willful insult to their attractiveness.

    If you think God cares if you follow some arbitrary set of rules, rather than whether you deal with others justly and compassionately, consider the logic of worshiping a God who is clearly an idiot.

    I will play along and comment on your discussion.

    The concept of selling/buying/paying-for sex is misunderstood.

    An adult is paying another adult for his or her time and companionship.

    Anything that happens between two consenting adults in privacy is nobody business. (Society, government, authorities, police, religious groups, other humans of any kind, etc etc etc)

    Sex is always a reciprocal gift.

    Remember nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in this capitalist society is ever free, you will pay one way or another.

    When buying anything, just make sure you get what you pay for and are happy about the transaction.

    Icee said "You can't consent to an illegal act."

    Yes, you can. That doesn't suddenly make the act legal, but if law enforcement becomes involved, then consent is a factor in the perpetrator's favor (not always but often). It depends on the illegal act. And with regard to vice-related crimes associated with sex work, consent is very often a critical factor.

    Again, provable consent doesn't automatically make an illegal act legal, but it does move the needle in terms of enforcement and sentencing, if it comes to that.

    But I know you care more about stirring shit than anything else, so proceed as usual.

    Denial of what specifically? That we buy sex? That it's a misdemeanor crime?

    That like people who get in fistfights, posses marijuana, shoplift, drive negligently, commit fish and hunting violations, publicly urinate, drive with a suspended license, and engage in disorderly conduct, we are breaking the law and might get a fine or a class?

    I certainly don't deny any of that. It should be obvious to anyone who reads tuscl that many of us are buying sex in one way or another, depending on your definition. We even write detailed reviews and compare notes on the subject. So where is the denial?

    I further question the premise that tusclers are "butt hurt" about being "nothing but a trick". I for one like being nothing but a trick to these girls, just as I don't pursue romantic relationships with my mechanic or my plumber. More broadly, I don't see a lot of other tusclers as obviously butt hurt. They seem for the most part to be seasoned purchasers of strippers' services (which may incude sex), and seem to have a pretty realistic and transactional attitude about it.

    I wonder what you are driving at? Some sort of PL mea-culpa wherein we admit to buying sex from girls who don't love us? I think that's already obvious.

    "Denial of what specifically? That we buy sex? "

    Whether it is a crime or not is not important. It would only be the most minor of crimes, like loitering or open alcohol container.

    What is important is that you should not be buying sex from a woman at all, as that is insulting her. You can proceed with her and have sex with her and give her money without it being like you are buying sex.

    You don't have to ever treat her like she is someone who sells sex.

    To go further with my point about stigma causing negative mental effects, and it’s stigma that makes one a “whore” or a “John”…

    In contrast, 48-cowboy is an account that likes to insult boomers pretty often. And that account hasn’t even placed in the top 40 ignored members on this site for whatever reason.

    Instead of asking when it becomes a John-Whore relationship, ask instead when it becomes a personal relationship. You can be giving her money in a personal relationship. Most of the time women are getting money or other social benefit from the guys they fuck.

  • docsavage

    Some women turn to stripping because they are desperate for money. I've thought about whether taking advantage of that by buying lap dances from them is immoral. I've decided it's not. Almost everyone works a job because they need money and I don't see why stripping is in a different category. The alternative to working a job is going on welfare and having others be forced to support you. Unlike many people, I think that is more immoral than being a stripper. I've always admired strippers because they are willing to work and support themselves.

    What is true for stripping would be true for any other type of sex work. It's common for people to think illegal=immoral but there is no reason to think that. To me, someone is engaged in an immoral act if they are using force or fraud to gain a benefit. Two adults engaging in consensual behavior is not immoral.

    Icey, I think the reason DrewCarey started this thread is that he is trying to have a reasonable discussion. Using emotionally charged language shuts down that reasonable discussion.

    Drew is not denying that there are legal lines which could be crossed. He is not trying to uphold any moral high ground either.

    FWIW, in CA, Prostitution and Soliciting are low level misdemeanors. Being a Pimp is a little bit higher level, but it is still a misdemeanor. The way they get a felony out of it is by charging it as pandering.

    But I think what Drew is trying to talk about is what are the actual moral issues, and he is not just trying to proclaim himself as being on some moral high ground.

    @nice: I agree, whore / john is rather stark and could be read as pejorative. Your point made me to reflect on my choice or words, and I think I partly went for those out of a preference for stark vs sugar coated, e.g. I would never call a stripper providing extras a mistress: I've had a mistress, and the two are not remotely the same thing.

    Additionally, I find ho/trick to be a bit hard to believe unless you're in a 1970's Iceberg Slim novel, and I find it particularly disingenuous coming from middle aged white men who picked up the terms listening to hip hop.

    Sex Worker is a bit generic, and could describe someone on either side of the extras divide, whatever it is.

    So, what are good terms for pl/stripper when extras come into the equation?

    I do agree that words have meaning, and that meaning matters.
  • san_jose_guy

    I think it depends on what kind of a relationship you want to have with her.

    In a fully free society, no interaction between people that does not involve coercion or deception is illegal.

    @SJG it's sad to see you constantly making fool of yourself with you childish thinking. Like the Beatles said, money can't buy you love. Commercial sex mostly addresses the sexual urges of our lizard brains. The more sophisticated sex workers can simulate the coos and soft moans of sexual satisfaction. If we temporarily suspend disbelief, we can get limited satisfaction of the desire to give as well as get sexual pleasure. If we permanently suspend disbelief as you seem to, that is, become delusional, we become the type of PL who totally shits on a sex worker's day.

    I have no problem with the situation.

    But now matter what they say or do, there is no reason I need to talk to them like I see them as selling sex or sexual services, or as people who can be bought with money.

In a strip club we are paying for sexual excitement if it’s the cover charge and drink to just sit and watch or it’s tipping the dancer hundreds of dollars for full service.

    Drew, you can just tell other people that she is your friend. To her you can say that you are taking care of her, or that you are looking after her, or that you are keeping her.

    She might tell people that she is being kept, or that she is a kept woman.

    I think this is common and well understood in Europe, and in Latin American, and in Asia too, probably anywhere except in the US. And the US seems to be the only country which is so serious about enforcing the prostitution law. It is our history with the Puritans and with Prohibition.

    The prostitution law is always hard to enforce.

    And the interpretations on which LE feels it can enforce have changed vastly over the decades.

    There is no real bright line test because it intersects with customs of marriage.

    Most of the enforcement is always against the poor, immigrants, and minorities, and it is always extremely political.

    @nice as you may have noticed, the TJ clubs always lead in the Top 40 rankings. The more broke chicks there are, the less sex workers change, and the more pressure they are under to provide services that involve the penis coming out of the pants. So PLs have a incentive to be pro-Republican, because that means more broke people in general, thus more broke chicks. But Republicans can't win without Bible-thumper votes. So PLs just have to hope that anti-sex-work laws will be symbolic, not strictly enforced. Liberals may support the Nordic model anyways. And their anti-poverty programs would push up the rates for commercial sexual services.

    Icey, extreme financial need does not have to be there for a woman to go into sex work. A nice guy can just offer it to her. Maybe the first time she will refuse. But eventually she realizes that she is turning down guys she would otherwise be perfectly happy to go out with. So eventually she decides just to take it on the terms that they offer it. Its better than sitting home alone.

    She does not need to have any unusual financial need, anything which goes beyond the needs of other people. All she wants is just to be able to pay her bills.

    And sesta fosta is completely unconstitutional. It tries to strictly limit online hosts and hold them accountable for the words of other people whom they have no knowledge of or control over.

    Trump went along with this just to support that portion of his base which is pro-censorship.

    It was like Diane Feinstein and the Telecommunications Decency Act all over again, but on crank.

    And Icey, you or I could see a girl out on the sidewalk, or in a strip club, one who just really gets to us. You or I could approach her and make something happen with her, which does include generosity, but which still is in no way treating her like a prostitute.

    The main effect of LE in the picture is just to drive down the looks of the women and to suppress the sexy dressing and dolling up, until no one takes them seriously.

    I am not talking about ever speaking to a woman in a manner which involves soliciting her or offering money for sex, or asking her to give a price quote. I am only talking about engaging with her when you have decided that you want to be waking up with her in the mornings.

    By generosity you mean paying her for sex. That's the thing. The p4p dynamic makes it prostitution regardless of semantics
  • san_jose_guy

    I mean showing a willingness to give her money, to pay her bills and expenses, and since she does not know you, buy demonstrating this generosity right off, like by handing her money.

    And no, this does not make it fit the legal defn of prostitution, but that does not really make any difference either.

    You might say,

    "
    I like those high heels on you. I know you have expenses in coming here.
    "

    And then hand her $20. Handing women money in strip clubs is the norm.

    On the sidewalk, handing her money would not be illegal, but you still might hold back a little and get her out of direct view from passers by first.

    Remember, you've only approached her because you intend to be waking up with her in the mornings. And so you don't need to do this very often. Money is a show of care, concern, and of respect.

    Bus stop right near Recycled, my favorite book store.

    In San Jose waiting for the bus while female is a crime. Cops always shaking then down, wanting their ID, searching their purses. I see it. Cops wait to see if they get on the bus. And the younger and nicer looking they are the worse the cops are. Coffee girls tell me about it too, how cops ask about what is in their purses item by item.

    It sucks, it is unfair, and it is unconstitutional.

    But this is what the obsession with eradicating prostitution has brought us. And in the suburbs it is worse.

    On the sidewalk in San Jose the only law is what the police say it is.

    And no, we do not have attractive street hookers, very very rare. Last ones I have seen were years and years ago. Today they are all basically bag ladies. This is what the SJPD living only by its own rules has done. And it gets the mandate to do this because real estate prices are so inflated and residents photograph these women and post them on the neighborhood groups so that they will be watched continually.

    Big problem in the economics of San Jose, not enough street hookers and the ones we have are not attractive at all.

    Our re-development agency has always been tied to extreme law enforcement crack down tactics on street hookers.

    This guy Ron Martinelli ran the hooker patrol in the early 80's. He and a police woman wrote this book. I listened to them on talk radio back then.

    The Stroll

    He is a consultant now cause he teaches things a police officer could not. And you don't want to ever tangle with anyone like him. He claims to be an expert in "Gangs", and he testifies as such. All "gangs" means is minority youth.

    And now he is attacking Black Lives Matter.

    I have built relationships with many dancers over the years and I think a key point is this. If a lady is charging you a set fee for sex and she must be paid that is prostitution. But if there is no set fee and no expectation of payment then it becomes a friend's with benefits relationship. I have had several of these where we get together for mutual gratification and I help them with bills when they run low on cash but the don't ever ask me for money because they know I will take care of them best I can. Never once in my FWB relationship with a dancer have they asked me for money. I take care of their needs physically and emotionally as best I can.

    ^^^^ Awesome Insights, Thank You!


    This Ronald Martinelli is former SJPD. He led the street prostitution crackdown in the early 80's which was in response to the Roy C. McLaren plan which was in support of the Re-Development Agency. Martinelli and a female officer wrote a book about this, "The Stroll".

    Martinelli is one of the architects of the present state of martial law in San Jose where constitutional due process is suspended, where Waiting For The Bus While Female is a crime, and where residents photograph and monitor suspected street hookers and post about them on the Neighborhoods Groups in support of a hyper inflated real estate market.

    Now he functions as a police consultant and he has taught courses on such things as Full Force Street Combat, and First Officer On the Scene Survival. He talks about things which a serving police officer could not.

    We have this testimonial on his web site:

    “Dr. Ron Martinelli is the police practices expert’s expert. He is uniquely experienced, articulate and understandable to judges and juries. He is very skilled, always dependable and consistently delivers the goods for his attorney clients.”

    http://www.martinelliandassoc.com/founde…

    He has testified as an expert on Gangs. And as it is used in the McLaren document, gangs just means racial minority youth.

    He has testified as an expert on Cults. And this is simply a way of assigning criminal intents to activities which break no law.

    Martinelli warrants renewed attention because he is promoting himself with a new book:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095CZ…

    SJPD did not conduct itself very well Summer 2020, and rumors about BLM and Antifa seem to have been a factor.

    Jestrite50, thank you for that post.

    What would you say about upfront generosity, like when you first meet the girl, like say in a strip club?

    My view is that in some venues, like strip clubs, upfront generosity is expected. But this does not mean that you are paying her for sex. And it does not mean that you are as Icey talks about, violating the solicitation law. And besides, the law is not really what is important. What is important is that the girl you have selected comes to see that you have respectful and good intentions.

    So as I see it you might best lead by handing her money. I talked about it being part of a compliment on her high heels. But that might not make sense for everyone.

    You can get friendly with her, and continuing to feed her money, like front room dancing money will probably help. It isn't literally paying her for sex. It is just showing care, concern, respect, and good intentions.

    Then things might progress to a Front Room Feel Up And Make Out Session, and then to the back room.

    What I think got a reaction out of Icey was when I suggested that something like this would work out on the sidewalk with a Street Hooker.

    Now some judgement would have to be used. San Jose operates under a state of martial law on the sidewalks.

    San Francisco is usually not at all like that, and I have been approached by street hookers. Though I could have also approached them. Initial money, then backing myself up against the wall and intitating a preliminary makeout session would likely have worked.

    It would have to be a girl I wanted to spend time with, and be generous with.

    In those times I was not looking for that, and so I did not do anything like that, but I was very polite to them.

    You don't always have to take things as they are offered. And you can give women money without asking for anything.

    What say you Jestrite50?

    Icey, Women are getting money from men all the time. They don't mind it.


    Jestrite50

    To me it seems like when you are first meeting the girl, the most important thing is to show your good will and respect, and to get the girl shifted from trying to hustle you, to following your lead.

    So pressing money into her hand as soon as she is within arms reach is obvious.

    You want to have ways of conveying money to her without making it look like you are trying to buy something or low bid anything.

    So for me, complimenting her on her high heels is an obvious one. I can say something once, but I can't go beyond that. I do want her to be in high heels when she is with me. And she will be with me outside, and regularly, very soon.

    And the important thing about her high heels is that they cost her money. So it isn't like I am trying to buy any kind of service from her, or trying to low bid anything.

    I got this idea from an AMP girl. I skipped out at lunch time and went into a new AMP. Very rare, a Vietnamese AMP girl who was a little big chubby. She was very pretty and nicely painted up.

    So I paid the house fee and things began, and soon we were doing a lot of DFKing. Then I just said something because I liked her strapped on high heels, and I was taking her dress off of her.

    She asked me, "Will you buy me those shoes?"

    What a perfect question. So of course I told her yes, and in effect I did buy them for her.

    It makes perfect sense for someone who likes to keep women in high heels. It shows care, concern and respect, and it opens a third way, that is not asking for anything for free, but nor is it paying her for sex.

    So you invent ways to convey money to her, and you get her to follow your lead and to not hustle you.

    Never tried this with a sidewalk hooker, but in lots of situations in San Francisco I think it would have worked just fine. I'd of backed myself up against the wall and began our preliminary makeout session as we got to know each other and as I demonstrating generosity, and then we'd be wearing out a mattress and waking up in the morning together.

    diltiazem azithromycin enoxaparin budedonide ipratropium prednisone

    I have never heard of anyone being on so many pharmaceuticals.

    azithromycin anti-biotic

    Diltiazem is used to treat high blood pressure and to control angina (chest pain). Diltiazem is in a class of medications called calcium-channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.

    Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation of blood clots.


    Enoxaparin is used to treat or prevent a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). A DVT can occur after certain types of surgery, or in people who are bed-ridden due to a prolonged illness.

    Enoxaparin is also used to prevent blood vessel complications in people with certain types of angina (chest pain) or heart attack.

    Budesonide is used to treat Crohn's disease (a condition in which the body attacks the lining of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fever). Budesonide is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the digestive tract of people who have Crohn's disease.

    Ipratropium oral inhalation is used to prevent wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; a group of diseases that affect the lungs and airways) such as chronic bronchitis (swelling of the air passages that lead to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs). Ipratropium is in a class of medications called bronchodilators. It works by relaxing and opening the air passages to the lungs to make breathing easier.

    Prednisone is used alone or with other medications to treat the symptoms of low corticosteroid levels (lack of certain substances that are usually produced by the body and are needed for normal body functioning). Prednisone is also used to treat other conditions in patients with normal corticosteroid levels. These conditions include certain types of arthritis; severe allergic reactions; multiple sclerosis (a disease in which the nerves do not function properly); lupus (a disease in which the body attacks many of its own organs); and certain conditions that affect the lungs, skin, eyes, kidneys blood, thyroid, stomach, and intestines. Prednisone is also sometimes used to treat the symptoms of certain types of cancer. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It works to treat other conditions by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way the immune system works.

    Take care of yourself ICEY. The only real cure for COVID is still sleep.

    Also sex is one of the only things I can think of that costs more money when you buy wholesale than retail

    A lap dance is different from sucking a dick. It's not a stretch to rationalize that difference


    Also human relations aren't based on monetary exchanges. If your relationships are you're doing it wrong

    Yeah Eltriste there was this one member here that tried to use money to get his coke junkie stripper whore just to talk to "him". "He" offered her $5K to do it and she declined. That's so wrong! Amirite, my niggette? 🤭🤡
