OK Unicorn, take a long breath and please learn the nuances of English. You have no idea how I feel about hiring escorts, but as a hint I'm on this forum and have submitted multiple reviews. When one says "the general public" it doesn't necessarily mean that the person saying it believes it, but what society as a whole may think about it. And yes you're right, if you hire an escort for general company there's nothing different from hiring anyone else. If someone hires an escort for "other" purposes the laws of 50 states view it as being quite different. Here's another hint, when I'm on a board discussing lawyers or doctors most posters aren't particularly concerned about being anonymous and are quite happy talking about whom they hire to their friends, employers and anyone in general. Now you may be comfortable talking about hiring escorts to everyone in your life, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and think that most (not all) forum members keep the fact that they hire hidden from at least some of the people in their lives. But I do like your pictures, they're very cute. :)

I have stopped telling people that I hire escorts because it's impossible to guess the reaction. Several heteros, who lived with their now spouse for many years before finally marrying, ended long friendship with me. Other people were far more supportive than I expected. There is a lot of wishful thinking in Unicorn's post, including equating hiring a housekeeper with hiring an escort. Most escorts's careers are much shorter than housekeepers'. Not every escort has a college or junior college degree or former high paying profession to fall back on.

Wow. You're really the king of false analogies.

One cannot compare shooting heroin with hiring escorts just because neither is something that one would generally talk about with friends, employers, or anyone in general. The reason I don't talk about certain things like hiring escorts with friends, employers, co-workers, and other people, is that no one is interested, and it's just not appropriate casual conversation. If I went to work talking about my sex life, or saying "Have you seen this picture of Brent van Zant? I jacked off to his picture and must have shot at least three feet!" I would be fired. If I had hemorrhoids (which thankfully I don't), I also wouldn't go and say "Boy, my hemorrhoids have been bleeding so bad, I have to wear Maxi-Pads!". No one cares or wants to know about certain aspects of my life, but that doesn't mean I'm doing something that's either stupid, immoral, or otherwise a-holish. And I'm also not interested in hearing my nurse tell me about what she does in the bedroom. My problem with people shooting heroin is that it's extremely dangerous, not that it's not appropriate conversation for a family Thanksgiving meal. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear, but you're not going to get away with comparing PSH's drug behavior with my habit of hiring escorts. I certainly don't hold myself up as Mr. Perfect, but there are certain lines I don't cross. And I'm certainly not ashamed of hiring escorts, even though I wouldn't discuss it at family dinners, social parties, or the workplace. There is a place to discuss my happy times hiring escorts and jack-off material, and this forum is the place.

Unicorn, If you believe you can not talk to your close friends about hiring escorts then it is NOT the same as hiring a housekeeper and the other professional people you named in your post. It's understood that you would not talk about escorts at work, family dinners or social parties. But to me, close friends are in a completely different category. I understand that you disagree

Sorry, but now matter how much you try to tweak your response (whether I discuss it with employers, close friends, etc.), the fact of the matter remains that shooting heroin is dangerous, stupid, and reckless. Hiring an escort is none of those things. PSH knew better, had the resources to treat his problems in other ways (including methadone maintenance if that's what he needed), but did it anyways. Not that it's relevant, but I don't discuss my sexual activities with anyone but my doctor (not even close friends), nor do I know anyone else who does. If I feel a need to vent, I can do so here. I don't think any of my friends is interested in what I do in the bedroom, nor am I interested in what they do in their bedrooms.

Yeah i am more curious than interested. Of course when they do speak of their sex life, most of my friends probably lie so why bother.

 

Most decisions in life are fraught with danger. Cross the street, don't cross the street, Chunky or Creamy, Splenda or Sweet and Lo. The decision to use heroin and then continue to use it despite the danger is reckless, life threatening and ultimately a selfish decision one makes for oneself and of course one that impacts everyone in your orbit and society as a whole. I think I will go across to the deli and get myself a crunchy peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a cup of coffee sweetened with the pink pack. Pray for me not to get hit by a car, not to choke on the peanuts and not to develop some rare cancer from an artificial sweetener.

I get the drift that many that have contributed to this thread feel the same about addictions. Self indulgent, selfish, narcissistic, weak willed, and full of people who fail to take responsibility and deal with their demons. Some of which I agree with, some I do not. I would venture to say, there is a vast amount of addicted people who get up everyday with their addictions, and carry on "normally." We pay our taxes, contribute to the world and our careers. We love our families, would do anything for them. Then there is the dark side. This is a phrase that I have shared with family and therapy people: "I would give my heart to any of my children or spouse if needed without thinking twice. But, if I'm in the middle of using, I could as easily sell their soul down the river for a fix." Yes, a insane illness.
