    it's not a blurry line, it's still prostitution.

    but it's slightly more 'monogamous' prostitution than a girl who works the streets.

    but make no mistake - it's a business deal - money for booty.

    then the question from there is, do we as a society have a problem with that?

    me personally? not really, even though i've never used a prostitute in my life. but i'm charming, i have a values system, a certain amount of musical talent, so i get good loving! (and i'm not by any means stereotypically handsome.)

    but again, make no mistake, what seems like a 'great business deal' to a hot to trotter girl in her 20s is probably going to feel a whole lot more strange at 40. maybe she can live with it and still feel a sense of pride and self. or maybe not.
