do polls like this ever get honest responses?

do polls like this ever get honest responses?

well i think polls would get honest responses, cos their anon, but the comments below prob wouldnt.

*theyre

Well it IS anonymous, isn't it? Anyway, yeah, people already weighed in on other thread.

i'm curious about when whoring lost its literary romance. semi-serious question. not arguing in favor of whoring, it just strikes me that there was a period where it was considered a lusty, manful thing to do -- hemingway et al. whereas it's hard for me to imagine the current generation of american writers detailing it without a lot of self-loathing and creepy pathos.

1) sexual revolution
2) womens movement

take yr pick?

when it was okay for single women to be having sex outside marriage (so men going to whores obv had no excuse).

I'm a man without a soul...Honey, yeah
I lost it while parading it, in a town full of thieves
Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know.
But god knows, I didn't wanna be alone
I thought if I acted like someone else
I'd feel more comfortable with myself
So I showered down, left my little room
Jumped in my car for protection from hostility
Well it ain't easy to be bold in an unknown city
Yeah I was feeling strong mouthed and weak willed
When I ran into the cure for my ills

Don't tell me what your name is
I want your body, not your mind,
I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye
But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes,
I just kept wondering,
How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?

There'll be no sleep 'til the morning
There'll be no lullabyes
'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight

Well my adrenalin, was curdling like cream,
as I was being led by the hand.
Through the sound of sirens
And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band,
Through the stench of disinfectant--
that "INFECTED" my head,
through the darkness of a corridor
and into a stranger's bed.

Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey
But I couldn't suppress my own,
I had to pull myself outta this nosedive
by proving something to myself.

She was lying on her back
with her lips parted.
Squealing like a stuffed pig
I was going through the motions
faking the emotions,
and wriggling around like a lizard in a tin.

Trying so hard to cleanse myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to please myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.

Come my love with your desire
Out of the blue...and into the fire!!

c'mon that's just rage against the machine lyrics

I couldn't enjoy the act knowing we weren't on the same page motivation-wise. This and a number of other good reasons for voting option #1.

Don't fancy it much for the same basic reason as (╓abies), voted option 1.

I voted option 1, but...

weren't on the same page motivation-wise

...at least with a prostitute you can be sure which page they are on.

Not in money but I have sure paid for it afterwards a couple times.

Zeno somewhat redeemed this thread with the Pop Group youtube.

when it was okay for single women to be having sex outside marriage (so men going to whores obv had no excuse).

yeah, all ethical problems with prostitution aside, there is clearly some sort of break where going to whores becomes at least in part "having to pay for something that other men can get for free".

to get it for free, you have to be good at it.

i think a lot of the business prostitutes get is from men who want something on the side without that something on the side having to be anything more than sex or any attachments beyond the sex act.

xp you have to be good at something ...

i think a lot of the business prostitutes get is from men who want something on the side without that something on the side having to be anything more than sex or any attachments beyond the sex act.

oh, ok. we have nightclubsfor that sort of thing.

i was thinking more about tipsy mothra's "it's hard for me to imagine the current generation of american writers detailing it without a lot of self-loathing and creepy pathos" -
Maybe i'm unfairly imagining a limit on the range of the current generation of american writers but, it just doesn't feel like you'd get
"i have to cheat on my wife with someone i will not conceivably leave her for, therefore prostitutes" or
"i require anonymity and secrecy, therefore prostitutes" or
"hookers and blow!!!"
instead you're more likely to have
"i feel that my desire is so socially unconscionable that i have to pay someone to let me indulge it, or maybe it is my need to pay someone to indulge that desire that is so socially unconscionable, or maybe indeed the two have merged together and all cash transactions i make have this hidden erotic undercurrent"

i am now imagining a short story in which the unnamed narrator feels an erotic thrill even on handing over change to the cashier in the 7-11. i would totally read that. surely it has already been written!

haha i think it has. prob somewhere in some brett easton ellis novel.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

if i was rich i would surround myself with cokewhores 24/7

if I won the lottery I'd do it with so many hot chicks

I don't remember the word-for-word but on the playground as a kid I remember someone saying that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

3 satisfied customers

I wonder if it's the same three who have started over 100 creepy threads/polls on ilx.

I'm still annoyed that a while back, when there was that big expose about the country mansion in the middle of the woods that was full of male prostitutes servicing highly paid female execs... that they DIDN'T GIVE THE ADDRESS. Apparently they took credit cards, too.

Not in money but I have sure paid for it afterwards a couple times.

One always does, except for the carefree kind in an alley.
