'Sugarbabe' favors negotiated infidelity

http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/08/03/negotiated.infidelity/index.html?hpt=C2

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but is it actually infidelity if it is part of the agreed-upon conditions of your relationship?

Also am I being overly judgmental for thinking this woman is the queen of rationalizing her own shitty behavior?

Wait, that is not Mutya!

Or Keisha or that other chick whose name I always forget until she pops up again in our client lists.

Wait, this is not ILM. Confused.

"It's better to walk the dog on a leash than let it escape through an unseen hole in the back fence."

woah metaphor!

hahaha I should have thought about that before reposting the article headline

Any time I see any overly deterministic gender role crap like "Men are hard wired like this..." I just stop reading because I know it's gonna annoy me more than is worth being annoyed.

but Masonic Boom, she has a psychology degree...?

She also has some really curious definitions of what is and isn't Sex Work.

I just wanna get @drpetra in to count the number of gender related generalisations in this article...

you're being quick to judge, her book contains actual wiring diagrams

You guys can figure this one out on yr own, I gotta go find somewhere in London that sells cupcakes with, like, 2" of icing on them.

I *REALLY* wanted this to be about the band, mind you. :-(

Ugh this woman.

"Brb, honey, I'm going down to the corner to get some sexing."

I'm still dying at the "even though I was asking them to pay me to have sex with them, I didn't think it was really prostitution" part

like, value judgments aside, what did you think prostitution WAS

Her whole 'spooning is cheating' thing is so completely ridic.

"you can have a baby with her, but NO SPOONING"

"to think of the nights I sat here alone while you were out spooning that slag"

what if you lie directly on top of her?

"I didn't spoon her, I knifed her. Wait, that's not what I meant..."

just admit it, you forked her

"You said it was okay!"

"ban max!"

you know what's weirdest about that article? it is incredibly long

And the only reason to allow women to sleep with other people is because it turns men on. *facepalm* I'm all for open relationships, but this woman has the wrong attitude toward them. Oh, and sugar daddy/mistress arrangements have been very, very common throughout history, and it's almost never considered a form of prostitution, even though it is one.

I'd like a moratorium on the word 'sugardaddy'. Crepey x 1000

"You can bang each other's brains out all weekend long but absolutely NO SPOONING."
What about handholding? Long walks on the beach?
What if he cooks her an awesome roast dinner? Seriously, that's more dangerous than spooning imo.

I think this sugarbabe lady isn't very much in the brains department.

Except that that's the accepted term for the practice. (sugardaddy)

Oh, and sugar daddy/mistress arrangements have been very, very common throughout history, and it's almost never considered a form of prostitution, even though it is one.

yes but that becomes a so-called "slippery slope" when considered alongside many traditional romantic/domestic/financial arrangements

'Sugababe' not about to pay nobody's way

Yeah, like I said, she's got strange ideas about what is and isn't sex work. Like, apparently it's not sex work to be kept by a sugardaddy, but if you're a married woman who withholds sex while continuing to "enjoy" the "benefits" of "being married" or whatever (sorry, paraphrasing from memory) then you *are* a sex worker? Don't get it.
