Guest Ou**or**n Report post Posted September 15, 2012 Looks like this paper is a follow-up to this one - and much better, because it seems they've actually talked to the guys who were the subjects of it rather than just lurking on a board and summarizing what people said there.

Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Very interesting article and many facts are in that article too. I think it is more applicable to high class hobbyists seeing high class escorts rather than hobbyists and sex workers in general. But many factual statements are in there kudos to OP for the thread. A concept which to my surprise is missing was a concept brought up by myself 2 years ago and that was to perceive my encounters with ladies I see (escorts and dancers alike) as DATE (Rendez Vous). This concept though reputed by many 2 years ago was also opposed by majority of SPs and hobbyists (majority of those who posted). That said, later some of very same hobbyists/SPs used the word "DATE" when describing their encounter or advertising. In my view absolutely as the article said it is a girlfriend experience and I perceive it as a DATE for which I am paying for the lady's time and companionship same as I used to 10 years ago when I was dating my GF and back then I was paying for lady's dinner and drinks and bar fee. The lady is a guest in my house and treated as a date and precious guest ( and we both have great time like dates or at least I do what I can to maximize the chances that she is having a great time) and I select my date too based on the looks first and reviews (services which I prefer safe GFEs and kissing is the only requirement) as a compatible date same as dating when I used to select my GF based on looks and compatibility. In summary I agree with the article findings. It is girl friend experience we are looking for (not sure about the not getting at home part) but rather I believe that I am not paying for sex but I am paying for date and my guest's time and companionship. This concept will be a torn in the eyes of those religious zealots and ultra conservative, extreme feminist elements in the current government who want to impose the psychology of seeing escorts perceived as violence against women and thereby make it illegal (the so called idiotic unsafe Nordic model).
