Prostituting yourself - Updated


A fair exchange for breaking the rules? Or just another bad choice?
I think I have all my various plates spinning, so I should have more this afternoon both here and at Technopagan Yearnings. But I had something happen yesterday that was really strange, even for me.

A young lady offered me oral sex if I bent some minor rules in her favor.

Now she didn't want anything illegal. I guess what got me was without even knowing my name (or my medical history), she was willing to give me a few minutes of pleasure so I would overlook something. Maybe that is a fair exchange in some places. The first thing that popped into my head was how many others had she done this with, and what might she be carrying because of that?

Granted, I think that Americans are hung up on sex. I'd even tell you that I think legal prostitution would be a good thing. And I certainly think that some friendships can include sex, I know from experience that some rivalries can.

I'll never be a "one and only" type, and I think I would make myself very unhappy trying to be. But she out casualed me. And that takes some doing.

Sex just became another way of settling the bill. I'm not really comfortable with that. Maybe because for me, sex also includes some emotional connection or at least an emotional justification.

I'm going to have to think about this for a bit.

(And yes, she was cute and of legal age.)

Later - I've been thinking about this. It wasn't so much the act that bothered me as it was the value. It's like offering fifty bucks for a half-eaten tuna sandwich. Or a brand new car in a straight up trade for my old one.

I put a bigger value on oral sex than she did. And when a deal is too good to be true, it usually is.
