An interesting euphemism

19 posts in this topic

A porn site I subscribe to has been running a series of scenes about a young woman who becomes an escort. She's in college and working as an intern and never has any money. Her roommate has plenty, though, so she asks her how she does it. The roommate says that she engages in "transactional relationships", which is the most interesting way of describing this hobby I've ever heard.

A link would be helpful and maybe a question. Otherwise, we're at a loss as to what the OP wants or the point he's trying to make.

I believe the OP is reporting on the euphemism "transactional relationships".  Which I've heard before, but usually in a Sugar Daddy/Baby context.

Jeeze, "transactional relationships" just seems so cold.  I much prefer "temporary girlfriend."

No question.  Much warmer and fuzzier, but I prefer "professional girlfriend."

euphemism: "a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing."

It's fascinating that men get so hung up on euphemisms for this business; hobby, sport, transactional relationship and on and on...does TOB have enough cloud storage for all the male egos on here?

Did you know that in places with more prostitutes and countries where prostitution has been legalized there is less rape? Now some may call me a whore or a professional girlfriend but I prefer the term "rape preventor"

I prefer just to the level of decriminalized.  "Legalized" has the connotation of government licensing, fees, a standards and practices committee, and who wants to hear a bunch of Senators go on and on about allowed and disallowed practices on C-Span?

All of us are merely speculating our personal interpretations of the OP's post since he didn't pose a question. Something that could be resolved if he would follow up, clarify his point or post a link to the site he's referring to.

That one prepares a meal,  does the dishes, & scrubs the floors, but has a headache at bedtime. 

I'm NOT interested 👎

Sorry. Updated version:

Works all day, never cleans house or cooks, hangs out with her posse all night, and ...

- still has a headache at bedtime. . .

Boy, I never thought I'd cause so much confusion. I just happened across a term for escorting I'd never heard before, thought it was interesting, and decided to share it with the board. I didn't include a URL or link because it was irrelevant to the purpose of the post, especially since you'd have to join the site to actually see the scenes. For those who are interested, though, the site is www.tushy.com. The particular set of scenes is Lana parts 1 through 5.

Transactional relationship is a common term for the Sugar Daddy / Baby arrangements. I used Seeking Arrangement at some point and that's how some people there call it.

I've just started exploring the SD/SB world and what I find amusing is that these girls really justify it as something other then prostitution. It's interesting learning all the new terminology. Pay for play, Splenda daddy, rinser. Transactional relationship, allowance. All highly interesting and entertaining.

Prostitution is something more defined than SD/SB arrangements.  Walking on the prostitution road is like walking on a one-colored road. Walking on the SD/SB arrangement path is like walking on a rainbow-colored road. The prostitution color is also included in the rainbow, but the rainbow have many more colors ;)

I would turn that analogy around. 

Prostitution is like a rainbow with an infinite variety relationships (colors), of which SB/SD is but one.
