A Bag Full Of Herpes
Continuing with the theme of "Watching Shit And Then Answering Questions On Them".This time around we were treated to a segment of "Breakfast At Tiffany's". In particular the scene in which the woman (I forget her name) thanks her date for a nice evening and for paying and shit. While the honourable man seems disappointed at the prospect of 'not getting any' despite paying for his date all night. Oh, and all her wench-like friends.The question put to us was:Is it prostitution to take money from someone who is expecting sex, but then not supply it?The idea behind prostitution is that one pays for sex. Rough sex. Possibly violent sex. But anyway...In this incident it isn't pro-ing (a word I just invented) so it doesn't really come into it. The woman has clearly seen the whole scenario as nothing more than a date with a kind gentlemen who has offered to pick up the tab for the whole night. If he misconstrued the whole thing then that's his own fault.it is not uncommon these days for men to go on dates in the hope of getting some 'poon' at the end of it. Nor is it unusual to witness desperately drunk single blokes buying drinks for ladies all evening and then taking them back to their place for some much deserved screwing.So no, it aint prostitution because sex does not seem to have been implied at all nor has it taken place. If that were the case, then there would a lot more hookers in our society than originally anticiapted.If it isn't prostitution then is it more or less socially respectable?Again, it seems to depend on the situation. Had the woman known the man was after sex and then had still taken his money despite the fact that she knew she wasn't going to give him any at the end, the yes this is somewhat a faux pas. Essentially you have conned someone out of their money so you could have a good night out. You freeloading bitch, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your anus!However, if the opposite were true then no, this is simply a case of misreading the scenario. Obviously this means either the man or the woman cannot communicate in an adult and upfront fashion and thus are doomed to remain single.Either way you're fucked!If it prostitution, how much is a reasonable charge?Meet me at the cooling tower at midnight. We'll discuss a price list...

My Response:
Prostitution is so old now, it's unbelievable that it still happens today. With all the government schemes in place to help people and give them money. This is one thing, that shows that it doesn't work. I understand that some women that do it, enjoy it and good on them as long as they have decent men who are clients and don't have someone taking the money off them. But for those immigrants that you hear about. The ones that believe that they are coming here to start a new life, well yeah, they start a new life but not as they thought they would.

Even the prostitutes that get caught on street corners, are just held for a few hours or over night and release the next day. There's nothing the government/police can really do to stop people doing it. If someone puts an advert in the paper, '£10 an hour for sex', the police can't stop people from going to the woman's/man's house, and then stop two consenting people from having sex.
