What's your point? His joke was "putting the cart before the horse" but used "decartes" for the carts part and "whores" for the horses part.


Never mind petal. Who knows any good jokes? It's Friday.

/me holds nose and runs screaming from the room.

Gaah. And me a confirmed paronomasiac. Why can't I think of a snappy reply? I can't bear it...you audio be whipped. Or at least beaten until stiff peaks form.

The most convoluted pun since I danced in a black & white bear costume in front of Sony, Toshiba & Technics audio equipment, and got accused of panda-ing to popular stereo types.


Bravo Kelli. :D

Got any more. ??

Beaten until stiff peaks form? Are you assuming that someone might get, shall we say, aroused by the smack of the whip against the skin?

...And, just for the record, Whores does not equal Escorts. Whores give it away for free. Sluts dress in slutty clothing and get certified by fish. Escorts get paid big bucks to pretend to pay attention to men and do what the man wants. Prostitutes get paid smaller chucks of money to just screw the client without the nice attitude.


Derailment time. Whores don't give it away free, by definition. Sluts don't get high marks when being certified by fish if they wear clothing (I know, I tried). Although you might find one giving it away free.

If you just must establish a pay scale, I'd say, from low to high: Sluts, whores, prostitutes, escorts. And add "courtesan" on top of all of them. But I don't think it really works that way. The terms are too interchangeable, depending on circumstances and how demeaning the speaker is trying to be.

Back to the escorting for a moment, because inquiring minds want to know.

The OP mentions them sitting around, waiting for business. IS there actually much trade in this? I mean, geez, you don't have to spit far to land on someone ready to hand it all over for free, whether you happen to want it or not.

So who actually hires hookers in SL? Those who really can't write and/or type well enough (in any language) to attract a willing ($free) partner? Those who prefer to read rather than type during the act? Newbies?

This question also applies to male escorts. I was waiting alone for my date in a bar when someone IMed me to let me know he has male company for hire. Does it really get so desperate, in this environment where females (of any gender) heavily outnumber males, that a lady has to pay for her date?

I can't imagine the process to be very much fun if someone is paid to do this, rather than cares about the person they're with (but I guess that's true for prostitution in any environment, and probably different for women, if I may stereotype).

They don't call it the "oldest profession" for nothing. *smirks*

I think I heard that on the television series Monk. And Monk replied "She turned to the oldest profession? Ok, so we are looking for a stonemason."

I used to think I was a paronomasiac, but it turned out to be just a phrase I was going through.

My deep apologies... not for my puns (*never* apologise, *never* explain), but for not crediting the original pun's grateness.

I used to have nymphomania, but that was just a phase I was going through.

they talk about more than just sex
01-18-2008 11:13
All I can say is this conversation is WAY over my head...and kind of hard to follow...

The escorts I have talked to think about (and vocalize) a number of things...

* Getting a better skin and hair
* How business is very slow
* Global warming
* Inner squabbling among the other escorts and management staff
* How do you want me honey?
* Wow what a hunk you are Graph!
* Where have you been all my life?
* Politics and weather
* Getting through college
* hoping their children don’t wake up right now
* How much they love and enjoy their work
* How they are not in it for the money
* Just killing time and killing it while doing something they enjoy
* And thousand other things I did not mention

So I take it they think about mostly what we all think about, it’s just that many of us tend to make distinctions among ourselves, putting people in different classes.

Some (not all) of my good friends are either dancers or escorts of which I enjoy talking to about everything. At least one of the differences is they don’t have as many prudish hang-ups as ‘the rest of us’, and are much easier to talk to about most any subject (it may surprise many that they talk about more than just sex)...

I was even thinking about becoming a male escort...until I met Claire.

...so I went to this House, and one of the Escorts said You want some babe? and I said well no not really and another one said You looking for a job then? And I said probably not, what does it pay and they wouldn’t tell me, really I was just curious to know what you think about during the work, anyway they were bored and we were all sitting round talking because they didn’t have much business, they say its because of the VAT, and one of them asked about my background so I explained about Second Generation and she said how could I prove I existed then so I said I think therefore I am, well you would wouldn’t you, and SHE said...
Well I won’t tell you what she said, just in case anybody else can guess? I’ll come back in an hour and tell you if nobody guesses.
Meanwhile, what DO they think about? Does anybody know? (Also does anybody know what the current rates are? Just out of curiosity).


What do they think about? You serious?


This doesn't sound right. For someone who isn't interested you sure want to know what the going rates are as well as why, how, when and where. Maybe it's some sort of turn on, who knows.

Curiousity killed the cat.

Yosef smiles and chuckles to himself. The keyboard's rythemic clacking broken occasionally by sound of giggles.

Shorthly the sounds settle down as Yosef looks over his work.
"Hmm, no. Can't say that," he mutter as he edits out the offending passage.
"Gee, they'll know what kind perv I am! Besides, this should be PG."

Deleting all of the brief flury or words that splayed across the screen, Yosef instead opens a small umbrella as he trys to stand in front of Brann.

First of all, we were grossly set up in this thread. Nevertheless I liked it.


Now on topic: I suspect that escorting is anohter of those SL jobs where one typist runs several alts simultaneously.


... with pre-composed scripted 'dialog' of course.

Oh THANKS everybody for your praise. I laughed too, and glow with pleasure. I guess this thread will fade away now, but anybody who views it later - you'd better read it from the beginning or you'll miss the point. XXXX

I am another that cannot understand paying for what so many want to give away for free. I was more confused before someone told me that they figured it was quality they were paying for, assuming escorts to be of higher talent in the art of slex. On one hand I can understand that, women go to men escorts because an escort (when doing their job properly) is supposed to make them feel desired, taken care of, pleased...where as the random joe at club xyz is looking to rock his own pixels. The same might be said the other way around, of course, but I can only speak from a womans POV.

Then again, the 'client' might just be wanting something fast n to the point without having to work for it. *shrugs* People still baffle me lol

Isn't that pretty much how it works in RL?
I look it pretty much as a RP. The escort is playing her role, so the "John" is just fufilling his role buy putting in the Lindens.

Ah, agreed, it really is a basic form of RP. Good point, though I wonder if they would be more fulfilled finding that in someone they didnt have to pay. No idea why that seems to de-personalize it all to me. But, of course, that may just be the way they want it. Hopefully getting what they pay for too, I've seen some outragous costs in profiles *eyes bug out of her head*
