I've been wondering why so many here describe parts of their lives away from p4p as "real world" or

"real lives". If you do, why?  
I'm a single 50 something year old who isn't looking to live with another person. But, I really enjoy really good sex and this has been an incredible part of my life. I have other parts of my life that don't coincide with this, but that doesn't make either of them less real.  
Just interested in the reasoning.

The world of sexwork is just as fake as pro wrestling. Everything from backgrounds to orgasms are faked. We don't have real names.  

 

It's not a matter of looking down at others. Back in the day ( 30 years ago ) the porn people, strippers and hookers called the world outside of sex work "The Real World."

Some of us at least most certainly have real names, and I know the real names of a handful of mongers and dozens of hookers. It's just not that big a deal to many of us.

You speak for the married guys sneaking around on their wives who most likely would have your entire world come down around your head if you were ever to be "outed" Not all of us are in that situation.  

Is much, or even most of the "world of sexwork" fake? Of course it is, but you continue to speak in absolutes and I guess it's up to the rest of us to give you some pushback when you do.

and for the record sex workers don't have a monopoly on calling the world outside their own "The Real World" I remember 40 years ago when I was in the service talking about "getting back to the real world" It's just not that uncommon a term.

Even if I was single I would not want anybody to know. Do you have any idea how pathetic most people consider the men in this hobby? Does your area have a bunch of hard core feminists? I don't have to worry about a "career" anymore but I doubt my business associates and their wives would be patting me on the back for doing this.

Hell, that serial killer Richard Ramariez aka The Night Stalker got 100's of love letters from women after he was caught. One girl who was not bad looking married him while in prison.

Eliot Spitzer gets caught with a hooker and both men and women looked at him as pathetic. It was not just because he was married.  

Seeing hookers is not exactly socially acceptable.

I'm single.  My ex knows what I do and loves to hear my stories.  My sons know.  They don't judge me.  My friends know and so do their wives.  My friends envy me. I don't walk around with a "Whoremonger" sign on me but I don't hide it either. I'm one happy fucker.  You don't sound like one.  A shame.
As for Spitzer, you got that wrong, too. The reason Spitzer was (and is) pathetic is because he's a hypocrite. He made part of his reputation for going after prostitutes and johns while he was seeing hookers.  Now that's low.
At least your last line is right. But it doesn't apply to the people I know.  Or me.
You might try not giving a fuck.  It's very liberating.

Personally while I know how "most" people feel about whores and whore mongers, I have been around both since childhood and even though I now deal mainly in "polite society" I really don't give a fuck what people think.

It's funny, you were the one claiming not to care what people think of you, but now you admit you really do care what "society" thinks about you. I worked my ass off to be able to tell society to "fuck off" I am now the boss, and I don't care if society looks down on me. There are already a lot of people who look down on me in my area as I am non white and non Christian, but unlike 40 years ago, very few people have the balls to say it to my face.  

If memory serves me correctly, you are around my age and from the Bay Area, once upon a time gays had to hide in the closet, but now they run things in SF. Are you saying a bunch of "faggots" have more balls than you?

Contrary to popular belief the gays do not "run" San Francisco. They have convinced the public that they were born that way and it's not something they can change. Some  ( not necessarily the majority ) of the public has accepted that.

Nobody was born a whore or whoremonger. Anybody could stop if they really wanted to. Hence, the general public looks down on prostitution.  

I care about what lifelong friends, family and business associates think of me. That is a far cry from caring about what people on the internet think of me.

It must be a big burden to walk around living with so much shame and guilt in your mind.  
I wouldn't do something that gave me so much mental anguish.  
I will never say that I haven't done shameful things. Staying in a marriage that I didn't want to be in was shameful to my conscience. Wasn't fair to either of us.  
But, there is nothing shameful about p4p between consenting adults. No matter what the childlike theists in this world believe.

You are a great example of how far gone some guys are. A wife is a best friend, a partner and the mother of your children. Sex is just a small (easily replaceable ) part of a relationship. Just because some marriages end up "sexless" does not mean that the spouses are unhappy or fighting all the time.  

It must be agonizing for a guy to think he's had "real sex" with a hooker when all he's doing iis masturbating into a condom. Hookers provide a warm body to be used for the monger's personal pleasure. It must be a big burden trying to believe you have a "relationship" when it's just fucks for bucks.

Didn't say other guy's wives are not good to be with for them. Some are and some aren't. Wasn't even saying anything about sex in the relationship.  You are painting with that broad brush again.  
I just won't do anything that I'm ashamed of. You clearly will.  
And I'm not judging you to be wrong or right for your situation.

Of course you are judging.  I am not ashamed of what I'm doing but certainly not proud. Most sexworkers I've talked to over the years have said the same thing.

Why don't you and all the rest walk the walk. If you guys or girls are so "proud" of what you are doing why not put up a web page complete with real names and company names demanding the legalization of this activity?

GaGambler146 reads

but I will happily sign such a document, petition, web page or whatever that demands the legalization/decriminalization of this activity and sign it with my REAL name.

I don't mind at all standing up to be counted and have be urging others to do so for over a decade.

gives hobbyists the "easily replaceable" sex that we need. Whether it be an hour or more, we are enjoying each other's company and when the time is up, she leaves NSA. This is way more practical and safe than sneaking around in an affair.  

No, it's actually the majority. I mean that's a material fact.

By majority, do you mean it's a material fact that gays are a majority in SF or the rest of the Bay Area? Or do you mean the majority of Americans accept gays as "normal?"

I stand corrected. Based on a Gallup poll it appears that as of 2012 a simple majority of Americans support gay marriage. The opposition is still very vocal in more conservative religious parts of the country.

I guess we call it the GFE because there is the illusion she is your GF for the time she is on the clock, and then she leaves and you go back to your "real" life without her. I guess the fact that you don't even know her real name plays into it as well.

I am in a similar situation as you, I don't even bother trying to hide the fact that I "consort with prostitutes" so like you this is a "real" part of my life, but like so many terms that don't make a lot of sense like "ATF" sometimes you just use the same vernacular as everyone else around here..

but I, like many, wish that the two were inverted.  

That would make for a real nice real world for a change.

... there's a something surreal about a gorgeous, sexy woman who might be as much as 25 years my junior treating me for the time we're together as if I'm the hottest guy on the planet.  :)  The good ones do that, anyway.  

I believe that if most of the providers I've met saw me outside of p4p (i.e. in the "real world"), they wouldn't give me a second glance.  Some have told me otherwise, and I suppose there's a chance a few of them were being honest, but I always remember there's an envelope involved.  

Don't get hung up on a couple of words used by others to describe their POV.

Most of us guys here are fat, bald, ugly, old, or all of the above. These escorts wouldn't give us a first look outside their incall. And yet, the last time this absolutely gorgeous escort wrote me, she started the email, "Hey handsome." I couldn't get to the atm fast enough. So, yes, real things happen in this fantasy world. But rest assured, this is totally different than the real world.

40 yo milfy civvie girls, my preference is 39-40 yo that look like they're in their 20's.  Nevertheless, I have had more than my share of girls I was seeing morph into a real life relationship. I'm old, but not fat, bald or ugly, and I'm more athletically fit than most 35 yo, so perhaps that makes a difference. As you pointed out, just being old will usually prevent you from getting the attention of a hot young civvie girl, but providers spend most of their working time with older men, and the younger guys they see are often the nerdy types with no social skills. I think this is why many providers are open to an outside real life relationship with an older guy.

it's just surreal..

The majority of society has  their "moral" bullshit about it.

I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Hhhhhhhmmmm, perhaps because of the illegality. There are always variables.

I still call non hookers "civvie girls" when posting here, along with a lot of other "hobby terms" I only draw the line at a few different terms used here.

 I will not use the term ATF, nor will I ever call myself a "hobbyist" and there are few other PC terms I refuse to use, but I have finished my first bottle of wine, and have started on the tequila, so I'll have to get back to you on the rest of them.

and no, fucking hookers is hardly something to be ashamed of, and I like you I only live one life, it's just easier to use certain terms to differentiate between the hookers, the Sugar Babies and the completely non P4P women that I see.

That one really pisses me off.

From Quora

Which one is the real face, Batman or Bruce Wayne?
      Unlike other masked heroes his mask isn't the one he wears fighting crimes. That's his real face. His mask is the Bruce Wayne persona he wears.  
        Batman is his true self, his psyche. The billionaire playboy is nowhere close to who he actually is. He only becomes Bruce because he needs to throw people off his scent; he doesn't want to be him or doesn't like being him. He feels a dissonance with Bruce and even struggles with it.
           For a clarity of perspective, we can compare this to Superman. In a weird way, Supes is more human than Bats. He's more comfortable with the Clarke Kent persona, he wants to be him. Bats doesn't have that inclination towards Bruce.

It's the most honest way to get laid. I agree to pay the donation and she agrees to show me a good time. Simple fun.  I'm not there to pretend she is a girlfriend. LOL. I enjoy meeting cool chicks who put the S in sexy that make me feel good for a little while. What's fake about that? I don't care if she O's. It's all in good fun and about my experience so I appreciate their efforts when they make me feel like I'm rocking their world...but I don't think it's because she's feeling an emotional connection with me. It's simply a very willing partner who wants to make my experience better. I love those kinds of girls!

...which is part of the "real world." I keep some of those sides private, just as some sides of my life are public. Sometimes there is crossover, sometimes they are separate. They are all part of me and my life -- I'm just choosy about other people getting to see all of me. Trust gains access.

In the real world most Gals I've been with take  17 minutes minimum  to O, often much longer, some  have loud O's, others have minimally discernible O's,  a few  have silent  O's .
  More than a few  of my GF's claimed they never had an O.  With most of those  I tried to be her hero and failed.  
 
   My favorite GF gone of all time, lived with me for years, continually expressing her love for sex by action, yet never having an Orgasm.  She loved kink.
  We had sex on my car hood, sex in elevators, sex at the Beach, sex in the woods, sex everywhere.  
 If I was horny at 4 am while she was asleep it only took a touch for her to reciprocate with sex.
  She said she had never had an orgasm even when she tried on her own.
  I asked her why she liked sex so much if she never had an orgasm. She said she loved the feelings she has with  sex, she didn't know what an O felt like so she didn't miss them.  
 
   
   One day I bought  a vibrating dong for her, that night I put my gift  to work while DATY, after  twenty minutes she had an O.  
   I was her O hero for awhile.  
   We parted ways a few  years later.

  After we took  our separate roads  one of my friends informed me my ex GF was doing porn.
    I picked up one of her DVD's, she would have five O's in ten minutes.  

  Most hookers I've been with have an O within five minutes, occasionally  five O's in ten minutes.  

  One PYT Asian I booked turned me on so much I came in less than two minutes. I was totally embarrassed, she acted  extremely pleased,  giggling how much I must like her.  
  Before I left she gave me her personal number.  

   That's why my civilian world is real,  
 Regardless, I've always enjoyed a great movie with excellent  acting.

My last "age appropriate" GF from over a decade ago could "get herself off" in just a couple of minutes by getting on top and riding me. It was great for those days that we all have in an LTR when we just "aren't in the mood" but our SO is.  

The GF I had right after her "took forever" and was the reason I trained myself to last longer. There's nothing more deflating than going at it for twenty minutes, thinking you "really gave it to her" and then see the look of disappointment when she doesn't "get hers" This little Vietnamese girl who never weighed even 100 lbs took "at least" 30 minutes to cum. For a while we even went back to using condoms so I could last long enough for her to get an O too until  through practice and a LOT of fucking I learned to last pretty much as long as I want to.

Some people like hooker sex a lot more than civvie sex and some people are the exact opposite. I know they are both "different' but I really can't say which is better than the other. I like both. Or maybe I just like to fuck. lol

When I was stationed overseas way back when, we referred  to CONUS as The "real world" or just "The world" for short. It is really an inane concept but we perpetuated the saying.
My first p4p was the night I graduated from Basic.We were not in search of any action just out to have fun but there are some women that live around military bases that can smell a fresh,green, GI with a pocket of cash from a mile away. Anyway, Since then a very high percentage of my sexual encounters have been p4p. These days it is 100%. I am not looking to be in an intimate relationship(girlfriend,wife). Even with my past girlfriends my sex life was private. I have never uttered sexual details about my exes, even to my closest friends.My privacy protocol remains the same. For most of the people that know me,it would not be a surprise if they caught wind of the women I see in my adventures. I'm sure some of them already suspect-I'm single,no kids,not dating,and have a few stamps in the passport{not a s*x tourist}.There is no other world-This is my whole reality.. I'm cool with it and less concerned with the goody-goody,moral,or religious clones living in their counterfeit world.

I juggle many lives and Lily's is the fun one...in my real lives I have moods and bad hair days ,I have work deadlines and problems,that's real life but in the magic kingdom of being Lily it is all play and no drama,that's why I call it funlife and the real life is ,well,called real...
