Today, we discuss the morality of escort services and escorts, both female and male. Please avoid discussing the legality of such practices and services.

For the purposes of this discussion, an escort service is a business that charges a fee for providing companionship. Their role is to get you, the customer, and a professional escort together for a determined amount of time, for the purpose of companionship, and they collect a fee for it. The escort is a professional that comes to your hotel room/house, for the purposes of companionship. You may find the escort so attractive that you decide to give them a gift, maybe a hundred dollars as a show of your appreciation for their beauty. They may offer you a massage, and upon seeing your naked body, want to make love to you. The legal premise is that it's not prostitution, you're paying them to be there with you, and they just happen to be wildly attracted to you.

That's the legal justification for the practice in most places. It's not prostitution, it's technically just companionship you're paying for.

However, is this practice moral? Is it morally right to pay for sex or to be paid for sex?

As always, please try to keep this flame free. We might not all be adults here, but we can at least act that way.

Personally, I see nothing morally wrong with it. It doesn't really impact my life all that much, so I'd just as soon not condemn it.

No, Really. Bite me.

Doesn't effect me one way or another... so, overall, I don't care.

Assuming proper protection, I don't see any problem with it.

They could have brothels for all I care. I wouldn't use them, or an escort service, but I hate bitching about things that don't affect me in any way at all.

I figure, if people want to go pay money for a STD or two. Fine. They are welcome to, it doesn't bother me

While it should never be considered a standard avenue of employment for unemployed support and similar things, I don't have any kind of problem with it. I don't see myself paying for sex in the forseeable future, but if someone wants to why the hell not?
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

what do you call a steady girlfriend?
*rimshot*

sorry, back on topic...

A girlfriend is normally a financial burden, due to gifts, meals, and other such expenses, so why not just pay someone more experienced and who does it for a living instead of paying an amateur?

If all you're looking for is a roll in the sack, without the emotional baggage and commitment, why not use a service?

Bite me.

No, Really. Bite me.

Don't see the problem with it. Not what I'd do myself, but so long as they're careful about it, what's wrong.

Seeing as I'd never work there, call there, hire services from there, and would likely laugh and think pathetic anyone who uses said services, my response is a solid, apathetic "meh".

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
