lady lust didnt think people would investigate on aw its quite sad,,,,, im definately quitting this year im training to be a dom so hopefully thats better for me

No, not sad at all, you made a public statement that you are not a prostitute and never have been plus bantered around all sorts of claims that what you do is not prostitution, I was just making a counter claim against your misguided public statement that you have never worked as a prostitute.

Claire, the OP has since posted this, in case you missed it - I would say that it clears things up more than adequately. Move on, please.

I think that whichever term is used, depend on how people say it... I do not find the terms offensive because depend on the context. Even the term "stupid" can be either offensive or something lovely.
A thing is: "You are really stupid"  +  :)  ;)"
Another thing is: "You are really stupid" +  >:(  :FF"

I have morals it's just that some actually don't view it as a horrible thing. Many of society few it as degrading so you will need to either deal with or or get out of this game. It is what it is regardless of one denying it to themselves. I'm not deluded. I am not ashamed of being a prosy and love myself. It was my choice doing this and still is fun. Street workers some don't have a choice, lets clarify that one. Also we are all human beings so no one is better than anybody else. So some one like you just said that we mustn't have morals bla bla. Well you must be narrow minded sound to me like you don't enjoy this. See.... It's not nice playing mystic meg. Only talk for your own circumstances not others especially what they think. Now that is completely messed up.

Just for the avoidance of any confusion, 'sexystephanie' and the deleted (shortly before reregistering) OP are one and the same.

So you come here and use two different user names to try and accuse the majority of us of having no morals as most of us know that money for sex, be it in a 5* hotel, a private house or on the street is prostitution.  That does not mean we have no morals.  It means we understand what the word actually means and are sensible and mature enough to understand that is what we do.

Street walkers are called street walkers and most do not do this job for fun or pin money but for need and I am afraid morals do not come into it when it comes down to need.
I have very good morals as do most women here yet we know we are prostitutes.  Why is the term degrading?  Is being called a Nurse degrading?  After all it is just the name of a job. 

You seem to forget it is what we do, NOT who we are.  We work as prostitutes, we are not defined by that work.  To be honest a lot of people would find it degrading to be called a cleaner (no disrespect as I have done that job before) as most people assume if you are a cleaner it is because you are unable to manage any other type of job.  Same with working in a fast food place, to most that is degrading but again it is just a job.

You may not call yourself a prostitute but you can be sure that is what everyone else sees your job as, that is if you are even in this line of work
Truth is far more important than what one wants to hear. With truth there is no us and them or colour or religion there is just fact

How conniving of the same poster to play these tactics, thanks for that Amy. It looks like we have a hater troll here. How sly the OP was being making a new account with a different name. Well the OP's ISP addressee is logged so silly move. It shows how clever the OP is.

Morals? Anyone who does anything sexual for money is a prostitute. If you are taking money for sexual services, you are a prostitute.

It's not a degrading term, it's a job title. "Public Convenience Cleaner" - that's a job title, is that degrading? "Bin Man", "Street Sweeper", "Politician", "Fast Food Server", "Jounalist"...are these all degrading titles?

It's *just* a job. I have said before, I felt much more degraded (and more USED) in previous civvy employment (offices, shops etc) than I do now, being paid for getting my tits out on cam and sucking cock in 1-star hotels.

do you find this word offensive? i do

It means a woman who stands up or stands out, particularly a woman who acts out in the public domain.

How do you dare to say that we do not have morals?
I have morals and I am also proud of my choices.
I consider "prostitute" as any other job title in this world... there are people who work as street cleaners, kitchen porters, etc... and despite we all know that behind "accepted" titles of these jobs, the jobs themselves are degrading and back-breacking. Nevertheless, these people work hard and with dignity therefore they deserve all my respect for what they do.

However, just for information, the term of prostitute is as old as the hills and it is derived from the Latin "prostituta".
Prostitutes in the ancient Rome would always work in the Lupanar (brothel) and these buildings can still be visited in Pompeii, Rome etc...
therefore, prostitutes in the Roman Empire were not street walkers

From a wikipedia article Morality can also be seen as the collection of beliefs as to what constitutes a good life.

Good life to me means;

Supporting and looking after yourself whereever possible(financial, physical and mental/emotional health)
Don't steal
Don't harm others


I suppose accepting money to have sex with men who may have partners could be seen as harming others.

I actually agree with Strawberry. You can do this job and have morals. Being a prostitute does NOT mean you don't have morals!

I have been one for a few years. I am also (I would like to think!) good and kind to people. I do not harm others. If a client bursts into tears or is upset during the booking, I am compassionate and kind (not that it's happened often thankfully!) I do my best to get through life, like others on here.

As someone else commented, being a "street walker" is the same thing, but most of them do it for different reasons. Sadly, a lot have drug habits to fund. But how do you know, underneath that addiction, they aren't good kind people, who have just got themselves into a bit of trouble and need some help?

I think I am straying off a bit from the post though lol. Personally the term prostitute doesn't bother me. I always think though, it's how it's said. For example, someone could say to someone who works in McDonald's "a fast food worker". That term isn't offensive, but I always think it's HOW you say it e.g. if someone says it in a stuck up way to make themselves sound better than you...

I think I'm really waffling now lol  :-X
