    In my younger days as a favour to a friend (woman), I'd drive her & a few of her girls to punters houses. I'd wait in the car for the hour to be up (just in case their was bother), the girl would come out with her £120, hand me £30 & split the difference with the woman friend of mine. Did it about half a dozen times & the few girls I met were all on heroin. The woman ended up getting evicted by the council & we lost contact over the years. I never ever indulged but wonder what happened to her. Pretty sad really.

    I do not believe it to be immoral. I believe that some are victims of our society in regards to our society not having strong enough support for those in extreme poverty or serious in drug abuse. They are doing something to keep themselves together and alive.

    Interesting topic.

    Women using their sexuality to obtain things from men is a common practice, happens everyday.

    Yet the ones who do it openly for money are regarded as the dregs of society when in reality all women use * to obtain things from men.

    I dont particularly see the difference whether it happens within the confines of a relationship or as a business arrangement between two consenting adults, is there really a huge difference?

    If one of the parties is in a relationship and decieving their partner then you do have to question their morality.

    Prostitutes are kinda like the police in peoples perceptions, not partiuclarly well liked but neccesary.

    Personally, I think paying for it is cheating in the way that I like to think I have earned it by hard work rather than just paying some street walking chick. I suppose its an ego thing

    Immoral I would say no. Like anything that is made illegal but regardless is always going to be in demand lots of criminal elements get brought into play and bad things naturally flow from that for all concerned. To my mind prostitution should be legal and regulated to make it safe for everyone.

    The lassie I know who used to be on * Work had a Smack habit. We both used to score hash and grass at the same place. When she first set up the profile she was 21 and not skag-beaten. A few years later she was using 5 year old pictures and men were doing a runner when they seen her in the flesh. She seems to have sorted herself out now. Was sad to see a decent looking girl destroy herself with * drugs.

    I agree but when your older and wiser with the coin, the aul 50 eiro bank looks a lot of appealing than spending few hundred every few weeks to get the bag slapped

    Quite possible yeh. Still though it can't compare to the 'real thing', and imitation * is all you're really getting with a prostitute.

    Also, have to disagree with the idea that some suggested that equates buying a girl a drink with prostitution.

    Prostitution isn't as simple as it sounds. It's not really a profession that women want to choose, it's one they end up finding themselves doing often for the wrong reasons. It's not a case of paying the girl for her services and everyone is happy.

    Not sure what the figures are, but I'd be confident that most prostitutes have issues such as drink and drugs addictions, as well as often being not quite right in the head.

    Obviously there is the top end where the girls are glamorous, but real life prostitution is far more seedy and less appealing. Also just look at the standard of man that's often sniffing around. Many of them aren't exactly normal either.

    I genuinely wouldn't sleep with a prostitute. I think I'd feel too awkward to enjoy the experience. Half the fun of * is the build up. It's good fun heading into town and chatting up girls and making it into something.

    Paying for a quickie with a stranger just doesn't appeal to me.

    Could we say that about every almost everyone? In my experience there aren't many people in a profession they want to choose. Not many of us want to work in call centres or supermarkets either but we do.

    There's a big difference between working in a call centre and standing on a street corner to attract random men to sleep with.

    Yes, the prostitutes are paid much better than call centre workers.
    IMO we should regulate it better so the prostitutes who stand on street corners don't have to do so.

    It's really not a case of how much money they make.

    Ask most women if they'd work in a call centre and I'm sure most would do so to pay the bills. Ask them if they'd be a prostitute and I'm sure the vast majority wouldn't even begin to consider it regardless of how much extra they could make.

    How much do you think prostitutes earn? The people i have encountered that do it aren't exactly rich. They would be even worse off if they had the overheads of a workplace and had to pay taxes on their income.

    In Glasgow? In my experience they earn between £60-£120 for half an hours work although the high class prostitutes wouldn't get out of bed for £120.

    The last prostitute I was in contact with has her own place in a nice part of town. A part of Glasgow where relatively small flats go for anywhere between £150,000 and about £400,000. I'd say on average they're worth about £220-250k. This was one of those prostitutes who charge about £70-£90 for thirty minutes.

    Even at just £70 five times a day, five days a week (and it probably more) that is £1,750 a week (tax free of course).

    £60 for half an hour for a street prostitute? Half that would be more accurate, some even take £20.

    I can see a lot of stunning looking girls asking £50-60 online advertising through agencies and websites.

    5 times a 5 days a week? Are they really that busy? Most of the street girls only come out later at night and weekends when there is custom on the go. They seem to stand about for long periods too.

    Even over in Amsterdam where it's a lot more acceptable and many of the girls are stunning, most end up standing at their windows for ages between customers.

    I'm sure a lot of people do earn good money out of the * trade, but just as many can't make ends meet doing it.

    There was thread in the past how much strippers and the like make. Most people were under the impression that they all earn a fortune. I know a few girls that did do it and they made pennies. There was also a series on STV a few years back and that also found that the girls made little out of it.

    No, not a street prostitute, the kind you'll see online.

    Alright, my experience of the prostitutes you see online is that they charge about £60-£120 for half an hour.

    Yes, the last one I was in contact with was getting a lot of business.

    I'm not sure how busy they are in Amsterdam on a daily basis. I have been to Amsterdam a couple of times but on Celtic related trips, so they were much busier than they usually would be on a typical Wednesday night I imagine.

    think he ment escorts on adultwork rather than the streetwalkers.

    They wouldn't have * with you if you didn't pay them though. So the money is very relevant in the agreement.
