A distraction?

[MadHatter]

Oh. Ok. I got ya.

TBH. I wasnt trying to be moral or anything. I just think it is perverted to pay for sex.

Label me however ( not you O but in general). Some things are just nasty and that is one of them for me. I mean really...what woman wants a guy her grandpas age....lets be real.

Thats just nasty to me.

Probably a few million or so, conservatively speaking. Everyone has a kink

[Ætheling]

I was raised to repect women and taking advantage of them by paying for sex is a pervert for my book...i just find it degrading and sick.

Bet no one wants their wife or daughter in that occupation.

And for the record i have participated in ministys that ministered to HUNDREDS of victims of sex trafficking. Prostitution is sex traffickimg.

I understand what you are saying about sex trafficking and I agree it is evil, basically a form of slavery.

I do however see no issue whatsoever with a person who chooses (emphasis on choice) to offer/sell their companionship or with a person who is lonely seeking the company of that person especially when they have no one else to provide that to them. If anything it is the prostitute that holds the power in that situation, not the solicitor. Two consenting adults engaged in prostitution and the solicitation of is the exact opposite of sex trafficking.

Excuse me Sir, and I say this with all respect: You're still missing the point. If the gentleman and the lady are in full agreement with the terms of the transaction, why should it be illegal? It's consensual, it's between adults and it ain't nobody's business but their own. I think.

And for informational purposes only, the lady I mentioned is the youngest escort that I've... to use a euphemism "dated". And coincidentally, we shared a "good morning" text just today. Moving on along... All the other escorts I've "dated" have been in their forties, one early fifties. And they prefer older men - far less trouble and more respectful. Most will not entertain anyone under 40 and one particular darling in Austin (age 46) will not see anyone under 50 - don't even ask.

And along those same lines...

Three weeks ago, I traded a certain amount of US currency for a quarter ounce of marijuana. Said trade was between two adults in agreement with the predetermined amounts. A very businesslike transaction - to the point the person told me that should I be dissatisfied, that I could bring it back and my money would be returned. Another consensual agreement between adults.

I won't today, but I might sometime before season is over - find a bookie (and I can, friends in low places) place a bet on my Texas Rangers. If I choose to accept the odds. Another agreement between adults, our business.

Now, I'm not sure how the above business endeavors can be taxed. But I do have faith in local, state and federal governments to find a way to do it. I've noticed that all are extraordinarily creative given the green light to tax whatever it may be.

In lieu of arresting, prosecuting, and perhaps "Locking us up". ???

Just expounding a little upon my thoughts / stance - whatever verbiage chosen. I'm not saying that I'm absolutely right. I'm just simply saying that I think that I might be.

Geez Bob Lee if you wanna bet on the Rangers, just give me your money, at least this way I can save you the heartache of watching Sam Dyson throw another one away!

[PondPopper]

Death from Above, as stated originally, I will not argue the "morally right" or the "morally wrong" aspects. I'm certain that you are a good man and an intelligent man. Certainly in better favor in the eyes of the Almighty than I may be.

I don't live in a high rise, I own a nice modest home a few miles outside a little municipality not far from DFW proper. I registered to this particular website because the outdoors is not just a hobby or a pastime. It is a way of life.

Given a choice, I perhaps would be different, and I've made some efforts to be. But one morning, I wake and I look up at the ceiling and guess who's laying there?

Therefore, my information is not 3rd or 4th hand. It is first hand. I've been about half-outlaw all my life, it's inescapable.

In order:

1. Drugs. I've had a relationship with marijuana since 1969. My income is in six figures, my credit score is 837 and I've never been out of work, emphasis "never" in my life, and I entered the official workforce at the age of 16. No other drugs beyond the marijuana. I've known some cocaine users that were, and are in fact professionals, business men. I won't address any other substances because I'm not qualified to address them. The good or the bad or the ugly.

2. Gambling, not much. I enjoy low stakes poker games with some co-workers and friends. Horse racing, I could get into, I think. I've been to casinos a couple of times and I didn't enjoy myself very much. I haven't bought a scratch off in oh... probably 10 years. I don't fool with lottery tickets until the payoff exceeds a hundred million - when it does, I'll buy exactly one. A few dollars expended to daydream for a day or two.

3. Prostitution. You're speaking theoretically and I'm speaking form experience. Long and wide. That doesn't make me cool guy, no, not at all. I just realized at a very early age that there is a price tag attached to all coochie and I reached (and continue to reach) into my pockets and drove straight to the hoop. Most times, I've been money ahead.
I'm a survivor of: A little establishment in Villa Platte, Louisiana, hotels in Ft. Smith, Arkansas and Oklahoma City. Boys' Towns in Matamoros and Ciudad Acuna, numerous massage parlors and tub clubs. Shortly before my 24th birthday, I enjoyed a full day at the "Chicken Ranch" in Lagrange.
And for the past 8 or 9 years, professional elite escorts. Never anyone directly off the street, no "crack whores", and yes there are certainly far too many of them. I've never caught an STD. Never.
Several of the "sporting women", I came to know quite well. I'll give you one example: She was widowed at the age of 37, her husband killed in a car accident, four children at with her oldest daughter a quadriplegic for life. a home with a mortgage and he left her no life insurance. She did what she had to do. Search my history and you'll find a photo of us together. She's married now and in another line of work. But we are still close friends. We met at Del Frisco's in Ft. Worth to celebrate my 70th birthday last September,
a strictly platonic reunion. With her husband's knowledge and consent. She told me lots of stories during our over years together, she trusts me because she can. Sometimes they do enjoy themselves, sometimes not. There are good days at the office and bad days at the office in all professions and endeavors

And the whole truth is; I'll say it out loud, outlaw women attract men, just as outlaw men attract women.

I reckon my moral fibers are considerably more flexible than yours are. Probably there'll be a real high price for me to pay in the next life. But I've lived this one to the fullest.

You must read a lot of books..

I ain't betting not even one dollar unless he's down to Round Rock.

I do.

And if you're by chance insinuating that I made all this up, you've misjudged me. You're invited to search my history. I think I titled it "This much can be said for old age". Pictures don't lie and I'm too old and too technically handicapped to know how to "photoshop" - I think it's called.

Thanks Bud for the reinforcement.

I sincerely appreciate and respect ttaxidermy's cynicism, all the while acknowledging that although it is an extremely rare occurrence...
I walk the walk.

And I just want to express a genuine "Thank you" to all that have replied, expressed opinions, said some things of value... And we've still managed to keep things from going all crazy.

I expect y'all have heard enough outa me for awhile. When I authored this thread, I never intended to say all the things I've said anyway, just wanted to offer up a little distraction.

Awesome thread IMHO!! Would love to hear some of your stories with specific interest to memories you might have from Cd. Acuna....

Do you partake in evil spirits??

[boblee]

Huh?

If you mean alcohol? Well, yeah I do. Not often, but from time to time. Who doesn't?

If there's a point to your question, I'm listening - although I may not reply until sometime later on. Please don't misunderstand, it's just that I have a real and full life beyond TBH.
