It reads like Ms Amanda walked into the project with some pretty heavy handed biases, and had a hard time viewing the site’s content past her own preconceived notions about sex work (i.e. it’s all sex trafficking) and the folks who partake. I don’t think she did much research past a couple of hours trolling the forums and reading a handful of reviews, found enough information to justify her already established point of view, and/or twisted it around enough to fit the narrative of a book she read. Regardless, it’s an interesting find.

Definitely, she was a good one! It seems a lot of girls have been running into bad situations lately…

I was 20 and stationed overseas, it was around the end of my shift and I was logging on to check my email and saw that the first plane had hit. I ran out and grabbed everyone and we watched the second plane hit on the news. The entire dorm had a party that night, it was all alcohol, testosterone, loud music, and aggression, one of the only times I've seen so many people bond over one thing. We were pissed and ready for war.

How about the pizza delivery girl: "I'm sorry miss, I seem to be light on funds. Is there some other way I can pay you?" Or the plumber girl: "Thank God you're here! I've got a pipe that's all backed up and ready to burst, it's just in this room over here..." Or the nerdy IT technician girl: "I think you'll need to crawl under the desk and check the hardware." Or the martial arts instructor/student: "Now grab here, and wrap your leg around here, and pull in like this..."

Maybe. But a professional sex worker, who's career is to turn men on, jumps naked into bed with a regular client (who's relationship up until this point has centered around sex) with absolutely no intention of having sex with him, after spending the whole day with him, and she's surprised/shocked he wants to bang one out? I'm not buying it.

You're absolutely right about there always being more to the story, and I guess that was partially my point, that part doesn't fit. Eh, regardless, I doubt we'll get any more than this, and it's not really any of our business anyway.

What I don’t understand is why would she jump into bed naked and say "closed for business"? That just seems a little cruel to me. Otherwise, yeah, lots of bad assumptions made all around. Hopefully you get the chance to patch things up, OP!

Considering the hack and that 99% of the posts on there are either bots or scams, I personally wouldn't give them my payment information. If you're looking for affair sites, try looking around reddit. They have their own affair boards and some suggestions on other apps and sites to use (tinder and doublelist come to mind, but admittedly it's been a while since I went looking for a mutual affair).

This is undeniably true. I was too young to care about politics when Reagan was president, so I can't speak to any of his policies, but to his credit this quote is dead on: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. "

This comes up almost every year as a political talking point, and every year it fades away into the background. I want decriminalization as much as the next guy/gal, but I doubt it'll ever happen, at least not in the way providers and clients want. If the government is willing to go through the effort of no longer making prostitution illegal, they're probably going to want to just legalize it and wrap it in red tape and taxes so they can profit off of it too, likely introducing a new sin tax, requiring permits, enacting zoning restrictions (not allowed in residential zones, within 5 miles of a school, within city limits, etc), and so on. But that's only if they can get it by the morality police first. Here's to hoping I'm wrong!

Anecdotally, when I get the flu vaccine, I get the flu. When I don't get the flu vaccine, I don't get the flu. I haven't got the shot in three years and I can't remember the last time i got sick. Besides, I'm in no hurry to get a vaccine for something my own immune system can handle. Also, I too was a guinea pig for some very suspect vaccines during my military service, and I'm not eager to go through that again. Finally, a vaccine developed at a rapid pace with no long term testing, by big pharma companies which all stand to make billions, for a hyper-politicized disease...no thank you. I'll happily let others take that leap of faith.

I picked up running again. Got really into board games (the more complex the better). Found out that I enjoy the hell out of building lego technic sets, and find the lock step direction of it therapeutic in a sense. Got way too involved in local politics. Gave up alcohol because it wasn't doing me any favors during lockdown(s). Now I'm patiently awaiting warmer weather so I can start working on improving my landscaping.

A website is nice, but I don't consider it a necessity. I can usually get all the info I need with a text, PM, or email, plus it's an easy start to open that line of communication. I don't consider a website a sign of legitimacy. Reviews on here make validating easy, but in the absence of those a P411 and/or original pics is a great start (even better if you can see her face). Also, providing a meet and greet option is usually a good sign. I'm more than happy to provide whatever screening information she wants, it's only fair. Just no deposits.

Wow, really?! I mean, you would think that if its too expensive prices would eventually adjust naturally when clients stopped calling. It had to be a pretty toxic situation to take it to the point of getting organized.

I don't get the point of rate threads, and there's a new one every month. This is a luxury, legally debatable, hobby. If you can't afford it, move on. It's not like we're going to band together and boycott hookers.

https://www.bodibylc.com/photo-book I was in Greensboro for work a couple years ago and almost pulled the trigger on seeing LC, but got bogged down and missed my opportunity. If i remember correctly, the pickings were pretty slim around there (at least, for my tastes).

Nope. It wouldn't be fair to her to try and keep that from my wife, and even if my wife ok'd it our marriage couldn't survive it.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!! I only get them this time of year by stealing them out of my kids trick or treat stash. Surely they won't miss one or two!

I stumbled over a place like this in Vegas, full of asian ladies in their mid-twenties. Everything was as you described above, flirty, friendly, massages, she even unpromptedly popped a zit she found on the back of my head (I don't know why that part sticks out at me after all these years), but that was over 15 years ago and I haven't seen one since. I know, not very helpful, but it was a nice experience and wouldn't mind doing that again myself. Following.

I really need to start doing all of this. The longer the office is closed, the more shut in I get and the more erratic my sleep schedule gets. Too much time working in front of a computer and I keep losing track of time, and days go by before I find time to go outside during daylight hours.

She might have FS options. Her eros posting has "VIP" prices and she's advertising as an escort, not as massage. https://www.eros.com/colorado/files/2526900.htm?cat=26

Sorry OP, but you done fucked up. You ignored the red flags, got too emotionally invested, and then encouraged the behavior. I get it, you're lonely, but you need a councilor, not an escort, to help with your post-divorce emotional baggage. The fact that you didn't toss her ass off of you the moment she tried going BBFS is a huge indication of where your head is at. See a professional, get tested, and don't have sex with anyone for at least a month to make sure you didn't catch anything.

Ha! For when you're looking for the real GFE! "Hey hot_escort1, do you have availability for a 1 hour GFE incall? And could you pretend we've been in a non-committal relationship for 10 years and you're just done putting up with my shit? You know, like a normal relationship?"

Hello!

That's all fair, I was just warning you, the topic of price is usually a sensitive one. There are a lot of pitfalls in that conversation, many of which you'll fall into unintentionally. Tread lightly my friend.
