Is there an age when an sp should stop?

[Ashley Ann 75247]

I don't think age has anything to do with "when a lady should stop sp'ing" as there is a demand for every age, however, the 18-23 age bracket will always be the most demanded :) IMO

 

A lady should stop sp'ing, at any age if :

 

You do not like what you do-and/or you feel the necessary need to have some sort of buzz going on (alcholol/ drugs) while you are with a client, because that stuff will not only destroy you on the inside, it also destroys your looks too :(

 

Till then, if there is a demand, and if you are truly happy doing what you do, no need to stop due to your age ;)

And I had a client inform me today that, 'You can't do this forever Soleil.' If I keep fit and healthy why the hell can't I do this 'forever'? I have no pension or retirement fund people! lol

 

Hahaha.....Well said Sunshine !! I have every intention of wheeling in to see you on my medi-chair many years from now ! Perhaps I just may need a step stool and a hand rail to get on the bed ;)

 

And for the record......I just happen to know first hand that you are in Wonderful Shape :)

[Luckyme 41401]

Love your answer, Nicolette!

I like to think that there is some possibility of mutual attraction in an encounter, heightening the excitement for both and making it more than just a typical service transaction. If one is 50something, the odds of having a lusty, juicy time are much better with a 40something than a 20something. I don't care how good an actress a young lady may be, I can tell when things are going well for both parties! ;-)

 

And I guess there are plenty of young bucks into the cougar thing too, so there you go. Keep going until it is no longer your desired profession.

I will work until a) I want to, and b) until people stop wanting to see me. That said, I am doing my best to slow down the ageing process!

A documentary about two 69-year-old sisters has scandalised Holland. It's because they're prostitutes

 

 

It's a cold, winter afternoon. I am sitting in the Tuchisnki, an ornate but fading picture-palace in the centre of Amsterdam, flanked by two old whores. On my right hand side is the 69-year-old prostitute Martine Fokkens (who is still working). On my left is her identical twin sister Louise (who retired two years ago.) Both have little Chihuahuas perched on their shoulders. They're drinking warm and fizzy white wine and are in celebratory if somewhat maudlin mood. Thick-set and with white hair, they look like farmers' wives... and, disconcertingly, a little like the film director Ken Russell in his latter years. Both are extremely kindly ladies, with a solicitous, grandmotherly air. When I tell them that I have been feeling a little poorly, they both put their hands on my forehead.

 

The sisters are clearly delighted by the response to

Meet the Fokkens

(the new feature-doc telling their story). The film's premiere at the IDFA Festival in Amsterdam was not so much a red-carpet affair as a red light one. Many of their clients (who've grown old with them) attended, as did prostitutes and pimps . The sisters invited 250 people with links to the red light district and most turned up.

 

The film has provoked a strange mix of admiration and outrage. Some are appalled that the sisters are being given a platform. They accuse the film of glossing over the reality of prostitution; as Dutch society has become markedly less libertarian in recent years, their business is increasingly frowned on. Others point to the sisters' great good humour and their perseverance. They've had tough lives and yet they've made the best of their predicament. They formed a union for prostitutes. They ran their own brothel until the politicians closed them down, ostensibly because of unpaid taxes.

 

Why did they agree to appear in the film? Martine explains that she met the director, Rob Schröder, when she was tidying the gardens in the street where they both live. At first, she was suspicious of him. Then she relented, saying she might do the film but only if her sister was included as well. Louise agreed.

 

"We said yes because we wanted other people to see what was the life... what we were doing as whores," Louise explains. Over the years, the Fokkens have serviced a huge number of clients. They calculate that on an average day (not a busy one), they'd see about 10 men each. Multiply that by the number of years they've been on the game and the figure ratchets up into thousands. Their attitude toward sex is pragmatic. In the film, we see them buying bundles of condoms and comparing different makes of vibrators as if they are housewives out shopping for groceries. We see Martine with some of her clients, who are almost as old as she is, spanking them and playing the dominatrix or even singing them nursery rhymes. A few moments later, we see the sisters painting surprisingly vivid and accomplished pictures of old Amsterdam.

 

At the same time they were being filmed by Schröder and his co-director Gabrielle Provaas, the sisters were hard at work writing their memoirs (which have now been published and are doing well in the Dutch bestseller charts.) This flurry of activity hasn't been simply motivated by their desire to communicate what it is really like working in the oldest profession in the world. There is a commercial agenda too. Neither sister is rich. Documentaries don't make money but the sisters are hopeful that their memoirs may catch the public's imagination.

 

"We don't write the normal fuck. Everybody knows the normal fuck. In love or not in love. With the hands or not with the hands... that we don't have to write," Louise declares. If their memoirs are successful, Martine may finally be able to retire from a business she entered in the early 1960s.

 

Speak to them for a few minutes and you quickly realise that they are not as unscathed from their many years of prostitution as they may like to pretend. Louise, who had three children by the time she was 19, was badly beaten up by her husband, who forced her into prostitution to make more money. She had been trying to earn extra cash by making lampshades late at night after the children had gone to bed, but this wasn't enough for him.

 

Despite such grim revelations, Schröder, who is sitting in on the interview, insists that the documentary was made to counter the typical films about prostitution, which portray the women only as victims.

 

That's a role the Fokkens refuse to accept. They escaped from their husbands and pimps and went into business for themselves. The sisters ran their own brothel along co-operative lines. The authorities forced them out, but, in doing so, opened the way for criminal gangs to move in and take their place. The Fokkens couldn't afford lawyers and didn't know how to play the political system. When crippling tax bills arrived, they had no choice but to sell up.

 

"One of the most shocking things we learned while making the movie is how bad the social stigma of being prostitutes still is... it is even worse than you could imagine", says Provaas.

 

In the little street where Martine still works, everyone knows each other. If it is possible to retain your dignity when you are, in your late 60s, sitting in a window waiting for clients to come in and pay to have sex with you, Martine just about manages it.

 

The Fokkens' relatives have all seen the film. Louise tells very distressing stories about how her children were stigmatised and bullied because of her profession. The risk that Louise and Martine faced at the Meet The Fokkens premiere was that the grandchildren would turn against them.

 

"You are my grandmother. What you are doing I've had to think about but you are still my grandma and I love you," one grandchild told Louise after the film's premiere. "When I think about that, I could cry," Louise confides, a lump in her throat.

I would never turn down a chance to be with these fine ladies... regardless of their age, they are still very very attractive and desirable..

When the time is right for the SP...and no more Hobbyists come calling...

[JoyfulC 132299]

A few years back, when I still kept an apartment in Ottawa for entertaining, I had some stalkers who used to phone me up. First it was some guy who would get on the phone, apparently wanting to use my services, but who would berate me for being older. The poor lad was dumber than a stump and I often made quick work of him -- I mean, really. If you don't feel someone is worth seeing, why call them up??? Call someone you want to see. Most of the time, once I got the better of him, some chick would grab the phone and screech at me that I was too old and I should just retire.

 

????

 

Why?

 

Did she think business would be better for her if I retired? Unlikely.

 

I was (and still am) getting plenty of business. Why should I retire when there is still a demand for my services? I would never pretend that I'm the best choice for everyone or even most people, nor would I lie about my age. But fact is, I have a bigger problem with guys trying to sneak around my "over 40" requirement than I do with trying to get business. The business is still rolling in steady for me. Today I saw a new customer who sheepishly admitted at the door that he was only 36. I went ahead an saw him, and he was a nice enough guy so I'll see him again -- but that happens to me all the time. My age preference is much stronger than those of the customers. I'm honest -- they're often not.

 

I was saying to my husband just the other day that I really was born at just the right time. When I was a young girl, young girls were all the rage. Now, I'm an older woman when older women seem to be all the rage.

 

Whatever.

 

The thing is, people see (and accept seeing) those whom they prefer. Retirement in this business is a lot the same as it is in a sport, such as hockey. Some players don't go far, but others continue to be valuable players into their old age. They may not be right for all teams -- some teams might be focusing more on younger players -- but for those teams that need a more mature* player, there are still slots.

 

(*I use the term "mature" loosely. Nobody my age would cop to being mature. Maturity is something way overrated by the young. ;) )

I think the only thing that determines when an SP should retire is the SP herself.

 

Personally, I plan to keep on rocking it until no one will pay me anymore, and since I've seen articles about escorts into their 80's, I figure that could be awhile :)

[Lauren Lewis 1148]

This is a great thread topic.

 

As a woman, at one time or another we all worry about the aging process, however, after reading the responses from the Ladies and Gentlemen on this board, it is crystal clear that age has nothing to do with it. Age is simply a number. Attitude and confidence is where it is at. They say you only look as good as you feel and I feel great.

 

I am in my early forties and have never once thought of denying my age. I am much more confident at this point in my life, at the peak of my sexuality and enjoy a peace of mind that I never had when I was younger.

 

I do very well in my profession and appreciate the Gentlemen who find me irresistible in my prime.

I will stop when I decide I want to devote myself to one man. Whenever that will be.lol

[DixonD 817]

Hey!

 

Nothing that hasn't already been said but I would say absolutely not! Imagine if the limit was 25? Who would fulfill the roles of smart and sexy naughty teachers?!?

 

Seriously though if you enjoy doing something that makes a positive impact on the lives of others and you can continue to do it safely. Being a service provider, bus driver, singer, sports star, etc. that is all that matters! Keep going and don't let others judge you!!! Age does not matter! Unless you were born as a carton of milk.
