Elizabeth, I think equating prostitution and sex is taking a very narrow view of the term. A broader view is that prostitution is selling your "ideals" (for lack of a better term) for money.
For instance, speaking as a lover of music, when I see a talented musician and a great songwriter dumbing down their music for broader appeal, that to me is prostitution. They're selling out their talent for acceptance and money.
To the other extreme, every one of us is a prostitute. We all sell our talents and services for money. We just call it a job so it's more palatable.
To me, the true definition of prostitution is selling ourselves below our capabilities just for a few bucks.
Hmm... I would say that "prostitute' can have several meanings, and the full sense governed by the context.
One who solicits and accepts payment for sex acts.
or
One who sells one's abilities, talent, or name for an unworthy purpose.
Now enjoying your body would hardly constitue an unworthy purpose , nor accepting that which i wold love to pay you constitute an unworthy payment.
So taken objectively, accepting money for sex, is a non-judgemental matter. Now , there is good sex, good money and of course the opposite. In a prior email, Elizabeth said she would prefer that a guy not go further with her if he didnt like the body type. I agree, though I would be embarassed I think to just leave. As to asking questions, while you might think it is a slam bam guy, I dont agree. I am looking for certain things.. ok, sex without condoms with an sp is not a good idea , but if i dont like condoms, I do want to know just what she does offer beyond sex with a condom. I admit that it makes it a little to brutal, being romantic and all, but I do think there are ways to express your talents so that I get an idea, without getting a menu...
Obviously I have to bow to your judgement on guys, but speaking for myself, money is relatively inconsequential at these levels.... rather it is the quality and extent of the loving care she has to offer that I would be searching.. Blowing me off as slam bam , bargain hunting , or whatever is a terrible mistake....lol
