    Yes....they are prostitutes.

    No offense, but I know more than one or two women who are in a semi-similar situation. It really isn't that uncommon.

    But my point is this...if there is a common perception among women that they can sell themselves exclusively for a set price, material goods, comfort and luxury...then don't be surprised when we treat them exactly how they treat themselves, as an object that can be bought and sold...only this time, they are setting the price willingly.

    Also...please remember that most of the men who are doing this tend to be married. So we have the added, and lovely, factor that this is a continuation of an un-happy situation that is only getting worse.

    Grown ups...all of them.

    Not.
