Technically, monger is not meant to be "dealer" but someone who '"deals with". The word whoremonger in the Bible is one who “mongers” with “whores”—that is, one who involves himself with prostitutes. Whoremonger is an old-fashioned word found mainly in the King James Version and the Young’s Literal Translation of the Bible. In modern language, we would say the person is a “fornicator” or “adulterer.” Broadly speaking, a whoremonger is anyone who engages in sexual intercourse outside of marriage.
An example of the word whoremonger is found in Ephesians 5:5 in the KJV: “For this ye know, that no whoremonger . . . hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” Most other translations simply say “immoral person.” The Greek word in this verse is pornos, related to porneia, from which we get the English word pornography. Essentially, all sexual immorality falls into this category, but the word changes depending on the person committing the act and his or her gender. For example, a woman who engages in sexual immorality is called a “whore” (porne) in the KJV, but a man who does the same is called a “whoremonger” (pornos).Here is the wikipedia definition of monger. I could have chosen other sources. They are all pretty much the same but this one gave a few examples...
A monger is a merchant dealer or trader. With respect to professions, the term is applied as a suffix to specify someone who deals in a particular kind of good; e.g.:
* Ironmonger: originally a manufacturer or otherwise supplier of iron goods
* Fishmonger: a fresh seafood wholesaler or retailer
* Cheesemonger: colloquially, a specialist seller of cheese
* Fearmongering, spreading fear to attain a goal
So... why do we refer to ourselves as mongers. The definition above says a monger is a "dealer" in a specific commodity and it clearly refers to the seller not the buyer. We mongers are buyers. How did this term turn 180 degrees for patrons of escorts.

...I am a monger. Always was and always will be. Tho I happily admit that I will always be a whore for hot women, I am a monger pure and simple.
How about if we unite and tell all these PC fucktards to GFY?
Oops, too late. I think we already did that long ago. lol
You have always been a "monger" and I have always been a "whore" and somehow I doubt either of us have any problems with "gender identity" I am a guy who like pussy and pussy only. You are a woman who likes pussy, and pussy only. I really don't see any reason for confusion on this matter. lol
Wonderfuly complete and erudite explanation. Thank you.
you stated that its 180 degrees from what it should be, I have never referred to myself as a monger. Providers should be called pussy mongers, and we should be called rubes if you want accuracy.
"mongers" are also promoters or boosters, if you will. I think a fair number of board members can be considered boosters of prostitution.
