Not all of these women are stupid, really, in the pure brainpower sense. Although I agree that becoming a hooker is a stupid decision for any number of reasons (moral, legal, health, mental, safety, etc.), there are quite a few women these days who hook part time – either students (not uncommon at all, unfortunately) or women with day jobs who like the extra money and/or the “excitement” or “taboo” nature of the thing.<br /><br />I tend to think most of them are broken in some way – that is, something has happened in their lives such that they are willing to cross the rubicon between hooking up with guys to getting paid for sex. But one impact of the internet is that it has allowed these women to choose to become part-time hookers without having to deal with a pimp or a madam – do it as much or as little as they want, with who they want, and so on. This has led to an overall increase in the number of women hooking (although many are part time) – it’s more accessible to them than it used to be, and many of these women would have likely never hooked at all if it involved working with a madam or a pimp.<br /><br />I remember reading an article (must have been around ten years or so ago) about a woman here in DC who was a weekend hooker, and an accounting executive at one the government agencies downtown. She was very high end, apparently, and said that she made more money hooking three weekends per month for a year than she did at the day job over the same period of time. But she was a very high end hooker – most hookers don’t get paid as much as she did. There was another article around the same time written by a paper in Boston where the writer interviewed four internet hookers: one was a medical student, another was an artist, another was a lawyer. There’s some *odd* stuff going on, and most men seem clueless to it. The odds of these women hooking 20 years ago would have been very low, but nowadays, you never really know what Susie Cubicle is doing in her spare time, apparently.<br /><br />I’d think that most of the clients are married men, although some singletons are probably in there as well. It may depend on the “market” that the hooker is aimed at, generally. I remember reading Tracy Qwan writing about that. She was a very high end Manhattan hooker for a number of years, and she had the repeat clients that you talk about, and most of them were married. She said that the men did it because the sex in the marriages was missing (low frequency, low intensity, boring, etc.), and they didn’t want to have affairs, so they opted for Tracy Qwan. Odd decision, I think – I mean, hookers are something I’ve never really found attractive. Not in the physical sense (there are some very good looking hookers, of course), but in the sense of not being attracted to having sex with a woman who has had sex with hundreds if not thousands of other men. But I guess some guys don’t mind that.<br />Novaseekerhttp://veritaslounge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-15641473491040460952014-11-27T09:45:31.977-05:002014-11-27T09:45:31.977-05:00Re: married men and hookers, I'm surprised you...Re: married men and hookers, I'm surprised you didn't see more of that. Maybe most married men don't have the necessary disposable income and/or can't hide the payments due to joint accounts? I doubt that it would be because of getting sufficient sex and affection from their wives. But maybe my experiences have made me more cynical.Robert What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863449539859132763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-16588167176949811272014-11-27T07:47:10.795-05:002014-11-27T07:47:10.795-05:00101Before the fall...God called everything good, e...101Before the fall...God called everything good, except this.<br /><br />The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone.

But even those of us who consciously try to keep the mind working are still a bit crazy in our own sort of way. After a certain amount of time, usually a few years of no contact with any women, (it's been about more than 15 years for me,) one tends to find it rather difficult relating much to other people.Andersnoreply@blogger.com
