Abused - are we contributing to the problem?

I am still quite new to this hobby, and I have been getting worried about some of the lovely ladies I have met.  I found out that one of the women I've been with was raped in the past (and I am sure that others have also).  Essentially, I'm worried that perhaps some of the media stuff is right, and that many women in the hobbying world are a product of abuse, and that I am contributing to the problem by using their services.

I can't quite imagine making the decision to become a provider myself (even if I was a smoking hot 21 year old girl) unless I was really desperate for money and / or emotionally very damaged.

I would love to hear thoughts from others on this.  Please hold off on the flames and "you are a Mangina" comments.  This is something that is legitimately causing me anxiety, and I'd love to either be able to confirm my fear, or hear some thoughts on why it might be unfounded.

If you don't want to be flamed, or called a mangina, don't ask "not to be flamed" it's like chumming up a slick for the sharks here.

I will let others answer your actual question. It's just been discussed too many times for me to add anything new, not that that would normally stop me, but I am just not in the mood to rehash such an old and tired subject right now, UNLESS of course some idiot makes a particularly stupid statement in answer to you query, and what are the odds of that happening??? rofl

Do you seriously expect providers would come forward to admit they were abused or raped. Why would they open their old wounds? Let it go. Quit this hobby if you have doubts.

And you'll likely hear a lot of them over the years...assuming you stick around.

Some are true...some are not.

The gals who are older and independent use screening techniques to minimize asshole johns.  They also are doing this gig for a variety of reasons.  All of them have options to exit...some do, others don't.

If you honestly feel you are contributing to anyones emotional instability...seems like it may be more of a YOUR problem.  As well as your anxiety issues.  Go and see your shrink and deal with this problem.

Hmm...seems like everyone in the world has issues.  Think about it.

Some are, some aren't.  As to our contribution to the problem : depends on whether a damaged person is "reliving the trauma" by subjecting themselves to poor treatment, or finding nice guys.  It would be nice to hear someone with psych bkground give an opinion on whether our behavior mattered at all in that context. A lot of this is down to whether a victim knows themselves and how much treatment/therapy they have had to process it.  Time (and education) also helps.

I know that certain things are red flags for me (girls who like multiple guys, gangbangs, choking, anal), but also realize that a lot of this is more complex than that, and most women here are normal, and above-average in intelligence, if not education.  
This sort of thing is easily misunderstood.  See the historical issue of "nymphomania" and questions and skepticism as to the actual existence of the condition.

Tread lightly.

your kindness. And that's admirable.

However, think about a couple of things: according to many sources, 1 out of 3 women have been sexually abused in their lives. Yet 1 out of 3 women do not become providers.  

Secondly, even if she had been abused in the past, it doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to decide for herself how to make money now. Your deciding to not patronize her might make you feel better but are you really helping by eliminating one possible source of income for her? Is it up to you to decide what she should be doing for a living?

Obviously if she seems distressed by her engagement with you, it's a sign to not continue. But if she seems happy enough with the arrangement, don't stress over it. And you could also consider patronizing ladies who charge a generally higher rate- they are less likely to be coerced or supporting drug habits.

Now, I'm not even close to the most experienced guys in the hobby, I've seen 8 different providers over the past 3 years.  However, in my limited experience some seem to be quite well adjusted women who seem to have reasonably normal lives.  How they got in to the hobby is a mystery to me and I do worry about some of the older ones, hope they are saving up as much as they can.  But there were two out of the 8 that really seemed to be troubled women.  The sessions were not all that great because of all the "baggage" they seemed to have.  Again, I cant speak definitively but I haven't been back to see either of those two but have happily revisited several of the more well-adjusted ones.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't see how that's possible unless you yourself are abusing them (which I am sure you are not).  In the time I spend with providers, I treat  them with the utmost respect and attempt to make the time we spend together enjoyable for them as well as myself.

How can that be anything but healing to someone who has had a negative sexual experience in the past?  Over time that has to make someone feel better, not worse.

There is something wrong with every1 here. From abandonment issues to survivors of abusive(yes).

What type of woman sells herself for money?
What kind of woman thinks men should pay her 2 have sex with her?
What kind of man, based on a monetary exchange, thinks he can have his way with a woman?

The possible ramifications, of this business, also are to b considered: physical abuse, verbal abuse, pyschological abuse, incarceration, STD's. Etc....

I had this conversation with someone I met through here who I would consider a friend now, he was worried about the same thing. My response is that yes, statistically the chances of a provider having been sexually assaulted or abused are very high, but that is merely because of the statistics of women in general being sexually assaulted or abused. That indicates correlation, not causation.

So, the reasons for some abused women to become providers, if it is psychological or emotional, may be due to wanting to regain control in some way, and in that respect, this does help. And it's not the only industry, I've known extremely wealthy bankers who are obsessed with money because they were so poor growing up, having money gives them that control they never had. Same for some doctors, some couldn't help someone when they were young and want to now. Whatever experience providers went through, it allowed them to do what a lot of women aren't able to do, which is detach sex from love.

As long as an urge doesn't cross into the self-destructive mode, engaging in it isn't contributing to the problem. It's when your standards are lowered and regret materializes afterward that you should watch out.

I, for example, am well aware and have mentioned this before, I am a sex addict, but it's not destructive and I won't allow it to get to that point. I manage it by always being in control of whom I say yes to, even in this realm, and what I do and not do behind closed doors, and doing it safely. The moment I fail to do that, I'll know I've crossed the line.

The fact that you give a crap shows that you're probably not out there sleeping with women who are using this to support a drug habit or going through men who are forcing women to do this, and that's a lot actually, because there are many who would jump at the chance of taking advantage of others.

I feel if the lady is independent and over 25 she is an adult and she made a decision to do this. The Asian agencies scare me because I wonder if these ladies are of age and also if they knew what they were getting into. A lot of them don't even speak english.

She asked me some great questions the other night.  She has "parent" issues - her mom.

Most of the women (in this and related occupations within the sex industry) I've had serious discussions with will admit to "issues with Mommy or Daddy" either directly or indirectly.  But, having said that, I know many women - NOT in the industry who have those same issues.  There are many reasons women find themselves in this industry - whether or not YOU participate will do nothing to their participation - absolutely nothing.  They have to make the decision.

Women, like men, lilke sex - to a greater or lesser degree.  I actually know some sex workers who could quit, but don't.  They like the money, but they also like the "game."  and some, unfortunately stay beyond their prime, although even there, one has to be careful about assumptions.  There are a few, older ladies, who can and (tee, hee) do give younger "hotties" a run for their money.  But these same ladies (one is especially a lady) only see select clients who, under different "rules of the universe" may have been boyfriends, fiancees or husbands.  But life is "what it is."  

Others (and I have know a few) do this to achieve a goal, and once achieved - they are gone - totally gone.  And yea, some of the media stuff IS totally correct.  

I wish I could tell my "coming of age" daughter - have fun, experiment, become an escort, learn to screen guys (her mom did not, and got taken for 30 large - and I could spot the guy a mile away).  But, I can't because, like it or not, the world is not fair and thinks of sexual activity for men, different than sexual activity for women.  

I love the women I'm with now.... a new one wished to hook up with me recently (a "civie" who I correctly guessed was in the game) but she told me, "lets meet randomly another time so I can be sure you are not a stalker..."  odd thing is, most of the gals, call me.  We live in a time and place that is unique in history

So depending on the woman, your fears may be founded, or they may be unfounded - it is highly dependant on the lady, YOU, and the circumstances that led you and her, "to the room."

I'm reminded of the old piece of wisdom....What's the definition of a normal person? It's somebody you don't know very well. Each and every one of us has "issues".
   Surgeon, most if not all of us have given some consideration to the thoughts expressed in your post. Each then makes their own determination about how to deal with those thoughts. Some stop playing in this 'lil sandbox, some are proficient at expunging any more thoughts about it, some are rational and some are not. I believe CPA perhaps summarized this best.
   You're correct, some of the "media stuff is right". Many women, far too many women, have suffered abuse in this world. This goes for ALL women, not just those in the P4P world. And many women are not "a product of abuse" but rather have conquered the ill effects of any abuse they might have suffered from. The strongest have then gone on to make the choices in life that they desire instead of those that society at large attempts to foist on them.
   I wish you success in however you choose to deal with the issues you've raised.     Regards.....RR

Are these girls volunteering the information that they were raped? I find it hard to believe that anyone would ever bring this up during an introduction session.

I'm sure high rated providers and high price ladies are here for the money. If you haven't noticed, America is rapidly going down the shitter financially and the cost of living is skyrocketing. Jobs pay next to nothing if you don't have a bachelor or masters degree and education is very expensive. Just wait until Obamacare is here because there's going to be a wonderful variety of new providers entering the biz for you to choose from. So....that's why a lot of us are here!

I can promise you if people are FORCED to have health insurance that will take away the food and other essentials for many...especially single mothers with a few children, who are not getting any help.  Sure, the kids can get on Medicaid, but the mother can't...that stops one year after she has the child. For many, they are not getting any form of child support or government assistance, and many don't qualify for it even though they are not making shit.  

I know many Techs and Nurses who are also providing on the side as we speak...Lawyers too. In fact, many Lawyers have not made a dime this year from their chosen profession. Now, they are not on TER (one is) for the most part and they don't see 5 guys a week, but you can bet that they are looking for sugar daddies and escort clients to make an extra few bucks every month. That's how tough it is right now for many people, and it's going to get worse. There are dozens of articles about this subject for anyone to research, including one about how "Sex is not selling in the UK."  

This so called "reform" is not going to hit the rich and the super poor...as always, the middle class who are barely making it now on TWO incomes, are going to get hit the hardest, as well as small business owners who never had to provide health insurance before. People are already being laid off for fear of this by employers.  

I would imagine there are many who would shoot themselves before ever doing what we do, but on the flip side, many need cash, and they need it now.

Here is the truth.  Of all the population.. many many many women of all professions, ethnicities, socio-economic classes have been raped or abused in their young lives.  (or adult lives)

Women who are escorts, strippers, etc probably speak openly about it more then other types of ladies, but I've known women who are conservative,  executives and ladies I never would have imagined being abuse victims tell me some horrendous stories.  

many men have also been abused.

What kind of woman does this or that? What kind of man does that or this? Normal women and men who for their own reasons do the things they do. I for one am completely sick of the bullshit of dating or a relationship, so I hobby. I get what I want and need from women who would normally not give me a second glance. The ladies I see get the income that they need for various things, perhaps College perhaps a nice house. Whatever their need is for the money is entirely not my business.

Most of them do this on their own free will. You shall find this out over time when you see enough providers.  

As far as abusing women are concerned, it is been going on since beginning of time. All you can do is be smart and don’t contribute.  

Why hot 21 year old does this? Many reasons. Some that I have talked to were in abusive relationships, BF got them pregnant and good for nothing bastard is no where to be found. Some, do go to school to better their life. I know a few.

I don't know why any woman WOULDN'T want to be an escort.
I meet wealthy attractive men who are loads of fun and  $how me how much they value and appreciate me.   If they are married they are being respectful to their wives/girlfriends by the honesty of establishing boundaries in our time together.  rules are set - now lets have some honest fun.  

 If any man in my life wanted to have a committed relationship with me, lets say I met someone socially in everyday life who wanted to date me and vice versa.. if they are serious, respectful, and truly seeking a relationship they would be taking care of my bills, catering to me, and showing me equal respect. winning my heart while we build a relationship.    

 For me it is all about honesty... and respect.    I'm not desperate or emotionally damaged.   I am open to serious.. but also open to not serious intermingling (-:  Either way I am seeking the respect.  I don't have the time or energy for games and players BS.  Being an escort lets me find the men who are my kind of gentlemen.

and for the record I was born and raised in California. and just how the fuck do you PROVE the white girls you fuck are legal. Do you check their ID at the door? Just how fucking dumb are you anyhow? I've known literally hundreds of them over a thirty plus year period, and yes I have seen their passports. Just because they can't stand you, doesn't mean that other guys are having a great time with them, on and off the clock. You don't really think that they stay here for years without having BF's do you? Well, as stupid as you are, maybe you think they just hang upside down in the closet in their off hours, just like bats.

The asian ladies are no more trafficked than the ebony ladies all have pimps. You really are a racist piece of whitebread, aren't you?

and these "sex slaves" who pretend not to speak English just so they won't have to talk to you are more than happy to go out with me OTC. When was the last time you heard of a trafficked woman giving her pussy away? I really can't believe just how fucking stupid people who should know better really are. Racist and stupid, nice combination there, probably fat and drunk as well.

The penalties for NOT owning insurance is so de minimis that it's laughable.  It will be years...perhaps decades before anyone would be hit with a serious financial consideration regarding health care.

The real issue for ismellturkey is that she is an uneducated person with NO skills outside of minimum wage opportunity.  In her case ACA will have NO effect whatsoever.  And never will.

And to generalize that no one has made any money from their chosen profession this year....Excuse fucking me but you are so far off it's insane.  I am seeing businesses and professionals making more money in 2013 than they have in many years.

The recession for most ended roughly three years ago...but for those who wish to continue to lament their misfortunes in life...the recession (or in this case a depression) will never end.  And that shits been going on since time began.

These are very broad generalizations - single mothers with a few children who are not getting any help. If you mean they don't have health insurance because they make too much for Medicaid then they're making more than the Medicaid roll cap of $15K a year or if they have 3 children they're making more than $31K/yr. If they're making less than that, then they do qualify. Not sure where they're not making shit and don't qualify is valid. Even for those who make up to $45K or $94K for a family of 4, monthly tax credits will come about.

How is it going to get worse for techs and nurses? And lawyers?

Small business owners with 50 or less employees are not being required to provide health care for their employees. This is a myth, only companies with 50 or more employees are being "forced" to provide health care for full time employees, which is for the most part already happening as it is. To those who are not already doing this they will be helped by obtaining a 25% tax credit for all expenses which will then be increased to 50% the year after. And if they still choose not to comply because penalties are cheaper then they get to pay $2K per employee 31 and higher.

This essentially affects anywhere between 30-50 million people, that is not the majority of Americans, and yet those that do not have health insurance create many expenses that have to be spread to the other side. I am not saying the economy isn't a crap chute, but if arguments against this health mandate can't be factually supported, then blanket statements shouldn't be made.

And even if individuals find that paying for health care on a monthly basis is too much, then 1% of income is the penalty. So I'm not sure who you're talking about, if it's a person who is so poor they make $16K a year with 2 kids, that penalty is $160 and will double the year after, if they make $50,000 but for some reason they are not full time or their company refuses to provide it, then it's $500 and will then double, but then at that point doing the math with credits it should help to even out. This would not be the reason that women decide to start providing.

Not having a job, maybe, but not this.

Some of your numbers are off...but that's OK.  The gist of the ACA is something that is a work in process.  And I expect tweaking over the years as market forces will show where the money to be made really is.

Many States have had penalties in place for years for those uninsured.  Seems too many people have no clues as to what is really going on...apparently including the POTUS.

The problem with companies with 50+ employees...vast.  Many will lease employees to avoid various taxes...most importantly paid holidays and vacations.  That number is at least as high as a years premium for an individual.  Much more if that employee is under 30.

Women join this business for a variety of reasons...most of which is lack of decent pay for their skill sets.  Many women I know here don't have any college to speak of and are relegated to minimum wage opportunities.  And those that do have college...many earned BA in topics that offer no visible options.  But that's nothing new either...plenty of people just go to school with no idea or expectations.

As for ismellturkey....as I said to London, I would be willing to bet that she has NO education beyond a GED...and has few options to make more than the 30k she makes hooking.  Yea...wanna bet she doesn't make more than that here...and has not one nickel set aside for a rainy day.

Is this what you're talking about?

Do you like focusing on shock value headlines?

"The canceled policies are those that don’t offer coverage broad enough to be considered as "qualified health plans" under the Affordable Care Act. Qualified plans must include coverage for things like maternity and newborn care, mental health, substance abuse services and emergency services, among other things."

There is a difference between them being cancelled due to having to TRANSITION and being DROPPED.

There's an AMP her in Birmingham that gets raided almost every damn month.  Everytime they find about 4 or 5 girls in there that are illegally here.  Sounds like trafficking to me.

For some damn reason, this AMP is back open 2 days later.  Why doesn't the Birmingham Police Department shut this place down for good or why the Birmingham City Council revoke their business license?

I'm not sure what is making you so mad buddy, but try this on for size:  no shit that loads of women outside the hobby have been abused and raped. I was never saying that abuse and rape lead everyone to sex work, or that every sex worker has been abused or raped.  If you'd care to re-read the original post without your faulty logic machine going bing, you would see that.

Many people who seem to be much smarter and more thoughtful than you have responded very helpfully.  You are left looking like the idiot child at the end of a conga line.  Oops.

I guess it's simply easier to take snippets of truth...make them the whole truth and the masses will become lemmings.

But trying to get through an entire set of documents discussing a complex law (or go to seminars and actually dissect issues and law)...oh wait, I do that shit with regularity  LOL

Hang about a second CPA.  I agree with several if London's points.  And perhaps this thread should move to the politics forum.

I also know many lawyers who have not made a dime from their profession this year.  In fact it has been such a big deal that there are class action suits against law schools for misleading students about how much real legal work is out there.  Many law grads and members of the bar association are in other jobs.  One I know is an administrator in our hospital.  He doesn't want to be an administrator, he wants to practice law, but was laid off by a law firm 2 years ago.

Like you, I'm not too worried about the extra tax that otherwise healthy young people are having to pay either as a penalty or as an overly expensive insurance premium (because the insurers ability to differentially price risk has been stripped down as part of ACA) - that is just income redistribution.  I'm much much more worried about people in the ~$30k-70k income bracket who are chronically ill with diabetes or neurodegeneration, whose employers are dumping their health plans and so they are now being forced to buy subsidized insurance on an exchange.  They have to work through a Byzantine mess of bureaucracy and rubbish to find out which plans will actually cover their doctors and the drugs that they are currently on, and when they finally do find that plan, they lose the subsidies that they were previously getting from pharmaceutical companies (because the Pharma companies can not offer copay assistance to people with any federal funding because of long standing health laws).  I've seen estimates that there are several hundred thousand people whose healthcare cost will go from 5-10% of their total income to 30%.  It is made worse because the systems to cap total exposure are not going to speak to each other, so for at least the first year of Obamacare, people's total exposure caps will be independently measured for drug spend and for medical spend.

I get that people are very polarized on the topic of Obamacare, but to not recognize that it is going to be painful for many people is just plain silly.

You're baiting me to argue with you right? Surely, you're not as lacking in the brain cell department as you're portraying to be.

Are you going to say that you're not crazy so you don't need mental health either? Or should I say I don't have testicles so please remove any coverage on testicular cancer.

Their plan X was missing some stuff to make it compliant, they now have to change it.

So you know some recent grads that can't find work in a field they went to school for....so do I.  And you know of some that got shit canned by an employer for cause (or from their version without cause)...so do I.  My comments (perhaps read them again) stated that many of the businesses and professionals that I know (as in CPA knows) are having record years in 2013.  I also commented that the recession had ended in 2010...it did...you can look it up and argue the merits of the data however.

There is always going to be people who get fired...can't find a job...work for less than they would like.  That's fucking life...it happens.  However it has NOTHING to do with ACA.  That's a fact (look it up).

As for those in the center of the ACA debate...no plan is perfect.  Go and read up about when Social Security was being enacted...then jump 30 years in the future and read about Medicare.  Seems to be a lot of parallels.  But plenty of folks will argue for the sake of arguing....that's been going on forever.

So if ACA is going to impact anyone...they will simply need to find ways to overcome a financial issue.  That's the great thing about this country...opportunity.  Heck, some of them may become hookers or pimps.  

I would welcome a debate on this topic more...but this isn't the board for it.  And it's been beaten to death over on P&R.

What exactly does law school being expensive have to do with Obamacare?
Your specific example was laid off 2 years ago? Due to the mandate, man, they were ahead of their time.

Who are the people that HAVE health care that will be dropped? The highest numbers based on ACTUAL studies, are that between 3-5 million COULD be dropped because companies currently providing may opt for the penalty, but even that is a subjective statement because they still need to attract talent to work for them, so cutting their health care would be part of a bigger action.

Just a few facts or logical statements would do.

Law school has nothing to do with Obamacare, but Lawyers making no money from their chosen profession was a topic that London bought up that CPA disagreed with.  I brought it up because I thought CPA was wrong about that point.  I also know lawyers who have been laid off by law firms that have shut down - like Dewey LaBoeuf for example, and Heller Ehrman.

So to your question of who will dump employees onto the exchanges - well, UPS, University of Virginia (spouses), Trader Joes and Home Depot (part time workers), Walgreens (all employees).  McKinsey estimated that 30% of employers will be economically better off by dumping employees onto the exchanges.  That was an actual study and 30% of covered lives is quite a bit bigger than your 3-5 million number.  Let's see whether Walgreens employees all run to CVS, or whether they will keep their jobs.

There - that was a few facts and logical statements.  Perhaps you should have given me the opportunity to write them without the sarcastic undertone.

was published over 2 years ago and went through so much scrutiny that it was chalked up to be a way for the consulting firm to gain more business by getting companies to knock on their door to provide advice on health care.

If you want to use that, I'd like to use the ones made by the Congressional Budget Office, the Rand Corporation, and the Urban Institute.

In fact, one of the reasons the study was so surprising was that it didn't even have Bowen Garret's name, their chief economist when it comes to health care reform even though he wrote the study results from the Urban Institute which came to opposing conclusions. The study was at the very least suspicious.

Walgreen's is giving money to those who they're cutting benefits for, letting them buy it on their own but providing the funds for it. Look, companies have been cutting benefits for years now. My old company went from employees paying nothing at all, to then a crappier plan to then paying 50%, I wonder where they are now.

But at least you cited something. Thanks.

A debate.

However for each study out there another one will present a different result.

Using you lawyer example...lawyers come and go in the profession every day.  Frankly the prognosis for lawyers was not good over ten years ago as the market was flooded.  I suspect you might know an attorney or ten who never practiced a day in their lives.  I know I do.  But they went on into other ventures using their education to be productive in other fields.

And your example of Big box companies paring payroll to avoid ACA....perhaps some will come to be...perhaps not.  I've read and listened to arguments for both.  But like all large companies over the past 100+ years, profits to stockholders will eventually dictate how that will play out.  

Frankly I applaud anyone who is willing to be a civil servant in this country.  Making the decisions that affects millions is not something I would want to do.  But I also won't scream and yell at those who accept the challenges.

And I certainly won't blame anyone for my decisions on my life.  Those who take responsibility for themselves seem to do well in this country.  To blame others for their lot in life is for losers.

Guess I won't be a popular candidate for any office.

I am still quite new to this hobby, and I have been getting worried about some of the lovely ladies I have met.  I found out that one of the women I've been with was raped in the past (and I am sure that others have also).  Essentially, I'm worried that perhaps some of the media stuff is right, and that many women in the hobbying world are a product of abuse, and that I am contributing to the problem by using their services.  
   
 I can't quite imagine making the decision to become a provider myself (even if I was a smoking hot 21 year old girl) unless I was really desperate for money and / or emotionally very damaged.  
   
 I would love to hear thoughts from others on this.  Please hold off on the flames and "you are a Mangina" comments.  This is something that is legitimately causing me anxiety, and I'd love to either be able to confirm my fear, or hear some thoughts on why it might be unfounded.
well just so you know,I"m not a 21 year old, I'm not a rape victim, I'm not desperate for money and I"m not very damaged.  What the fuck am I doing here????????? Should I try to find some more suitable industry?

Are you high? I never speak in absolutes dear, and I did not say NO ONE made money in their chosen profession...I said some, and I know that for a fact! Many Lawyers are standing in the fkin unemployment line as we speak! Nurses? NO, of course not. They will always have a job because they can go anywhere in the world, but that does not mean that some don't want MORE money. Greed is a bitch. When you're paying a student loan note of 6-800 a month taken out of your check plus being taxed, do the math. Nurses being billed out at over 30 an hour are barely making 15 of that after all that shit is taken out. And, tell that to the employers laying off people that their fines will be laughable.  

For anyone to sit here and try to predict with 100 percent certaintly what others are going to do, is an asinine...notice, that's not what I did. I said 'some' and I have already seen that 'some' come into the biz for various reasons. Obamacare will affect what? Um, the FKIN economy! It makes no difference if we want to say well so and so is already broke, so that's why they came into the business! If you are being told you have to shuck out ANOTHER 2-400 on health coverage per month, wtf does that mean? That there will be LESS money for you to pay bills with. Damn, this is not all that complicated.

Don't just look at Obamacare...look at anything that forces more middle class people to part with their money, and you will still get the same results....more providers entering the business! I mean gimme a break. You really believe that providers who can't even charge the market rate where they live are doing so because they just love fkin old fat guys? Bwhahahaha. Um ok. No, they are rock bottom because they can't charge any more due to looks, services, location, etc.

You're obviously NOT in health care. Though I agree with what you just posted, you're not behind the scenes nor do you realize what is already happening. Do you think the Fraud Debt just happened into existence? Um no...it got there because so many people who refuse to pay for health coverage or can't be covered (like my father) are finding other ways to get care, and most are not legal. Rather than go that route which is easier to get arrested for, many are providing and stripping on the side.  

I have no clue what law school and Obamacare have to do with each other either...my statement was a correlation between the unemployed and those flocking here for survival, INCLUDING lawyers. If a damn Attorney can't afford health insurance, tell me how some single mom with some degree in art, can in the future? THAT was the ony reason for my Lawyer reference. I was trying to illustrate that the professions people should be secure and making enough money in, are also having to find other forms of income. When they are forced to pay even MORE for insurance, what does that suggest?  

I mean gimme a break...I have enough credentials to get a good paying job, but I just took one that is less than 50k a year, because I had to start somewhere. Being hit with super high loan debt is not fun, and I am not one to go out and pay car notes on shit I can't buy outright or spend thousands on some apartment the size of a closet, just to say I live in x city. I have been rather frugal with my spending, and yet I plan to be here another six months at least. If someone with a Master's Degree can't even make what one with a BS made years ago because they lack experience, it's crazy to think that soneone with NO degree is not going to find a way to make money. Once again, those are being hit the hardest.  

CPA, I do not agree that those without an education are the only ones that have to worry...that's nuts. The very women providing on the side are ALL mostly degreed professionals with years of experience. If they have to do it, what happens to the rest? Most here know me well enough to confirm I am no idiot, and I did work my ass off for 7 years in school...guess what, I am STILL not making enough money to totally quit providing, and if I was a person who only made 10 bucks an hour, had student loans coming out of that, taxes, and then they hit me with an extra 200 a month for health coverage, providing would be a thought.  

Am I saying they are going to come place ads on TER in droves? Of course not, but to say that we won't see more professionals coming here is absurd. No one would have ever assumed I would be here either, yet I am, and have been for years. Pssst, I am not going to bs you into thinking I am some nympho either. I can get laid for free, any day of the week the same way I do here...trac phone and at a hotel room.

I hate to burst your bubble, but people are already coming here just to pay for health insurance! Christ, are you really that naive? Now, I am not saying that a HUGE portion of every profession on the planet are just going to up and decide to become hookers, but for you to say this will have no effect when it ALREADY does, is asinine. Do you not think there are women out there with special needs children who even WITH insurance, still can't make the bills every month? WOW! Do you dismiss the dozens of middle class families having to move their parents in with them to provide care because they can't afford to send them to a nursing home, nor can many even get insurance? Again, wow!  

How can not making shit also equate to not being able to get health coveragea? Um, just because some people think x amount is a lot to live on, does not mean IT IS! You actually think people can survive on one income (the whopping over 15k that medicaid says they can) with a child? Medicaid DOES NOT COVER ADULTS, and that is what you're debating. I never said that. I said flat out the children can get on it, but the mother cannot after that first year expires after she has the child. Over the 15k a year cap is enough to live on?  Are you even serious? So, if someone makes even 22k a year BEFORE taxes, that's supposed to be enough money? Good lord. I have heard it all. Some people would rather not have their child live in the projects just so they can afford health insurance, and that is what we are dealing with. Just because the govt' says we can live on x, does not mean we actually want to live that way.  

Please go spend a year in hospital admin. and come back then. I made no broad generalizations about anything...YOU did when you said this would NOT affect new providers at ALL...no one else said that. I am speaking from what I know personally as a fact, and from women I have seen come into the business as of late out of fear. Whether their fears are rational or not, is not the point. The fact is they are coming here for many reasons, but this whole obamacare shit is one of them.  

You made the statement that the economy is already in the shitter...so, what happens when more people are FORCED to shuck out money for health insurance? Are they better off financially, or worse? Thank you. That was the only reason for my reference to certain professions. I picked those, because I know personally people in those professions who have started providing.  When the oil spill happened with BP, you mean to tell me that many women did not start providing when their seafood businesses took a dump? LMAO...it is the SAME principle. Did it affect the entire world? No, and neither will obamacare, but it will affect MILLIONS!

My post was NOT about people losing health coverage...it was about those who NEVER had it being FORCED to have it, thus taking funds out of their pocket. So, not arguing with you. If anyone is naive enough to think that people who have a budget of 100 a week for all expenses can afford to lose 200 of that, well...they are the ones who need to do more research.

Will every woman in that position become a hooker? Of course not, and I would never be so blind to project such.  OTOH, making a statement that NONE of them will come here for that very reason, is equally ignorant and rather oblivious to the needs of some women.  No generalizations, no absolutes here. Some will, and some won't. We can sit here all day long and talk about studies and stats, but that will still not predict what another human being will do with their body.

They always make a few arrest of men, charging them with "visiting a house of prostitution."

We came her for the MONEY and the freedom...not all that hard, and no need for a psycho analysis. Most of the women I know personally already had a good job or degree BEFORE coming here...this is why they don't charge rock bottom rates, and have to work every week. It's more than obvious who the women are, that have anoter form of income, because rates and schedule would have many broke if this were it.  

I also know many who use this business to get a higher degree (like I did), or pay off loan debt afterwards. Yes, many women are off somehow, and I agree with OSP that not many of us don't have something wrong in there to up and decide to sling our vaginas, but it's not as in depth as so many (including the media) make it out to be.  

Trafficked and abused women are not hard to spot, if you know what to look for. It's tragic yes, but as a hobbyist how can a guy know for sure the woman who says she is here on her own free will, really is if there are not tell tale signs? He can't. I would never tell some client about such things...it's a bit much, but those who do clearly have been abused and need to get help.

There must be something wrong with you that you don't realize. Maybe you should check yourself into a mental hospital just to find out. ;)
you know that's not a bad idea ... there's no doubt there's something wrong with me... it might take a whole team of doctors workin round the clock to figure it out tho...

Do I have to be in health care to make an informed opinion or know the topic? Why are anecdotal points so important? If I tell you I speak Spanish and volunteer to translate the mandate and repercussions to those who don't speak English in the lower east side does that make my points weigh more? That not only have I read it and researched it but on a personal level I do support it because when my mother died at age 35 of breast cancer and I was 15, we had no health insurance in Texas and couldn't get it because it was a pre-existing condition? If any of these points make my opinion matter more, that is not good.

Medicaid does cover adults, I'm not sure where you get your information. And the mandate says that any state already participating in it will allow adults without dependent children to qualify if they make that figure or less.

And women having their business affected by the BP oil spill isn't the same principle as women not being smart enough to know and understand this mandate as you say "whether their fears are rational or not". The BP oil spill was a fact, that this will be detrimental to them hasn't been proven.

You're passionate about things being in a crappy state, I get it.  

And by the way, the "pssst, bs about being a nympho" comment on your other thread, was that a not so subtle comment to what I've shared about being a sex addict? Do you want records too? Perhaps a sob story?

This all started because someone made a blanket statement and when people make uneducated statements for shock value it bothers me. Lastly, am I naive? I'm sure in some topics I am, but I shy away from them anyway until I know more about them. Just please don't dismiss my opinions based on emotion.

Why she is in the biz.  She and I met in a bar, because she asked me to buy her a drink (being below the legal drinking age), I did my thing and next thing I know we are very familiar with each other.  humm.....  She could make $$$ A lot of ways (she has made real, legit movies and could have an acting career if she wanted) and is in college....  so why?!  as another friend of mine said, "I never sit at home alone on a Saturday night wondering what I'm gonna do."  Think travel guide....  I know another gal who actually does that but specializes in international travel for business dev purposes... and she knows how to open and keep open certain doors.....

And yet the CBO estimates and Rand failed to predict any employer dumping, so so far the McKinsey results have more closely tracked reality.  Note that the McKinsey study was routinely criticized by the left wing media and White House , but stood up to the scrutiny.  CBO subsequently modeled several scenarios of dumping.  I guess we will see who was right in the next couple of years.

Also, employer dumping is actually probably ultimately a good thing for America.  Having health insurance tied to employment has been a horribly misguided policy born of short term WW2-era policy-making.

The shame of employee dumping though is that many of the sick people who are dumped are then stuck with higher costs and awful complexity because they are now subject to a new swathe of federal rules.  Take for example a single woman with rheumatoid arthritis earning $21,600.  If she chooses a bronze tier plan, and is prescribed Enbrel for her RA, then her total healthcare exposure will go up to $6,000 per year and she will no longer be eligible for any drug cost assistance from the pharmaceutical companies.

1. We will know in the next couple of years whether it works or not. It's something to try because god knows costs were skyrocketing anyway. On principle it's supposed to work of course, and make costs less by having everyone participate, let's hope it does for the sake of improving our system.
2. Yes, health insurance being tied to employment has been misguided in many ways.
3. There's definitely shame in employee dumping, and if they are then stuck with all costs it's awful, but let's hope mathematically that isn't the case and even if there is dumping there is still incentives for companies to fund the transition as people choose their own.

OMG, Medicaid where I used to live DOES NOT COVER ADULTS! Are you high? The MOTHER of a child on Medicaid is ONLY covered up to a YEAR after giving birth..that is where I got it from. CHILDREN OF MOTHERS that were on Medicaid are covered into adult hood, yes, but that's not what we are talking about. I can't go out tomorrow and apply for Medicaid UNLESS I am pregnant. That's a fact. Try reading about Medicaid in New Orleans. The affordable care act covers children of insurance holders until age 26, but Medicaid drops mothers left and right after one year of giving birth. I don't see how a government program would be this way in one state, and not another but I digress.  

Once again, none of this has anything to do with the fact that you told one person not to make such broad statements just to do the very same thing by saying "Oh, I doubt anyone will be affected that much by this." Yah, right. The reason I made the comment about you not being in health care is because people who are not, are freaking clueless as to what goes on. That includes many things you will NEVER know unless you are running a hosptial or fkin the CEO. Wonder why the top pharm companies never go bankrupt...I will let you take a guess. I worked for a top one for 5 years, and can't even post publicly what I know concerning some of those tactics.  

My statement about not being a nympho, has nothing to do with you...I do not know you, what you charge, where you even came from. It's a tired ass, played out line for many to get more clients and that is why I made the statement. I don't talk in riddles. If I have something to say to you or about you, I will. You are making bs assessments on statistical bs, that have nothing to do with INDIVIDUALS which is why you don't see anyone else bringing the shit up.

Obamacare will affect EVERY state in the fkin nation...hurricane Katrina affected 3 states. Wanna know how many women became hookers after that ONE event? I rest my case! All I said was that with ANY financial issue that takes money out of our pockets (including when the price of gas went up lol) you are ALWAYS going to see somewhat of an influx of people who turn to the sex industry for either money, or stress relief. Run that study...it is a proven fact in times of economical distress that men seek the services for hookers, strippers, and bartenders more than any other time. So, if men are flocking here in those times, is it so illogical to assume that women will to meet the demand? Thank you.  

You turned this entire thread into a pissing contest about statistics and market trends, when it's not that complicated! All anyone said was this business might see an influx of new providers, and not shit...it has, and it will again.

Not to fear, when an Indy is caught, we are usually the ones who go down first. The guy gets a slap on the wrist, keeps his job, keeps his dumb wife after swearing he will never stray again, and doing it the next week, but us? Ha...fired from our careers, kicked out of certain programs in school, shunned by the entire community. It sucks. I went from being able to openly advertise and place ads on the top sites, to not having a single photo on the net, and having to password protect my site until after a guy is screened. It's just not worth being exposed.

Who knew! LMAO! This clown is too fucking funny.  If there's one poster here whose personal history is well known on the board (and who is personally known by a number of us who've partied with him) it's Gambler.  Yes, he's an asshole and a self-admitted pig.  But he's usually the first to admit that.  Where has this clown been?  For a fat guy, Gambler does a damn good impersonation of a skinny guy. LOL!

incluodng the clients. what yoi are saying has been my observation as well.  
Straight from the gals themselves, the variois reports from others only providers can see, numerous BL incidents, multiple reports from news media outlets.make that thousands. Victims that are now advocates  

It IS undeniable and to discredit the fact that it exist, given it sheer magnitude, is doing a disservice to everyone.  
Well, except the ones whom partake in victimimg others as it would mean accepting that they we're participamts in victimizing these girls, to no longer victimize these girls and to take responsibility for their role in allowing this sorta thing to contine by funding it with their "donations"  
Defending it won't work. People aren't stupid

The penalties for NOT owning insurance is so de minimis that it's laughable.  It will be years...perhaps decades before anyone would be hit with a serious financial consideration regarding health care.  
   
 The real issue for ismellturkey is that she is an uneducated person with NO skills outside of minimum wage opportunity.  In her case ACA will have NO effect whatsoever.  And never will.  
   
 And to generalize that no one has made any money from their chosen profession this year....Excuse fucking me but you are so far off it's insane.  I am seeing businesses and professionals making more money in 2013 than they have in many years.  
   
 The recession for most ended roughly three years ago...but for those who wish to continue to lament their misfortunes in life...the recession (or in this case a depression) will never end.  And that shits been going on since time began.

I can promise you if people are FORCED to have health insurance that will take away the food and other essentials for many...especially single mothers with a few children, who are not getting any help.  Sure, the kids can get on Medicaid, but the mother can't...that stops one year after she has the child. For many, they are not getting any form of child support or government assistance, and many don't qualify for it even though they are not making shit.    
     
  I know many Techs and Nurses who are also providing on the side as we speak...Lawyers too. In fact, many Lawyers have not made a dime this year from their chosen profession. Now, they are not on TER (one is) for the most part and they don't see 5 guys a week, but you can bet that they are looking for sugar daddies and escort clients to make an extra few bucks every month. That's how tough it is right now for many people, and it's going to get worse. There are dozens of articles about this subject for anyone to research, including one about how "Sex is not selling in the UK."    
     
  This so called "reform" is not going to hit the rich and the super poor...as always, the middle class who are barely making it now on TWO incomes, are going to get hit the hardest, as well as small business owners who never had to provide health insurance before. People are already being laid off for fear of this by employers.    
     
  I would imagine there are many who would shoot themselves before ever doing what we do, but on the flip side, many need cash, and they need it now.

The CBO? Ya that's a great source. Have they EVER been right on ANYTHING?

was published over 2 years ago and went through so much scrutiny that it was chalked up to be a way for the consulting firm to gain more business by getting companies to knock on their door to provide advice on health care.  
   
 If you want to use that, I'd like to use the ones made by the Congressional Budget Office, the Rand Corporation, and the Urban Institute.  
   
 In fact, one of the reasons the study was so surprising was that it didn't even have Bowen Garret's name, their chief economist when it comes to health care reform even though he wrote the study results from the Urban Institute which came to opposing conclusions. The study was at the very least suspicious.  
   
 Walgreen's is giving money to those who they're cutting benefits for, letting them buy it on their own but providing the funds for it. Look, companies have been cutting benefits for years now. My old company went from employees paying nothing at all, to then a crappier plan to then paying 50%, I wonder where they are now.  
   
 But at least you cited something. Thanks.

Here's a fact. According to a recent survey, more people are on govt assistance than are working. Disability is a trainwreck. More are on welfare, unemployment, food stamps than ever. People have figured out they don't have to work anymore. The US is becoming what Chicago already is. A financial trainwreck. But surely Rahmster will get it turned around. Just like Detroit.

So you know some recent grads that can't find work in a field they went to school for....so do I.  And you know of some that got shit canned by an employer for cause (or from their version without cause)...so do I.  My comments (perhaps read them again) stated that many of the businesses and professionals that I know (as in CPA knows) are having record years in 2013.  I also commented that the recession had ended in 2010...it did...you can look it up and argue the merits of the data however.  
   
 There is always going to be people who get fired...can't find a job...work for less than they would like.  That's fucking life...it happens.  However it has NOTHING to do with ACA.  That's a fact (look it up).  
   
 As for those in the center of the ACA debate...no plan is perfect.  Go and read up about when Social Security was being enacted...then jump 30 years in the future and read about Medicare.  Seems to be a lot of parallels.  But plenty of folks will argue for the sake of arguing....that's been going on forever.  
   
 So if ACA is going to impact anyone...they will simply need to find ways to overcome a financial issue.  That's the great thing about this country...opportunity.  Heck, some of them may become hookers or pimps.    
   
 I would welcome a debate on this topic more...but this isn't the board for it.  And it's been beaten to death over on P&R.

Hang about a second CPA.  I agree with several if London's points.  And perhaps this thread should move to the politics forum.  
     
  I also know many lawyers who have not made a dime from their profession this year.  In fact it has been such a big deal that there are class action suits against law schools for misleading students about how much real legal work is out there.  Many law grads and members of the bar association are in other jobs.  One I know is an administrator in our hospital.  He doesn't want to be an administrator, he wants to practice law, but was laid off by a law firm 2 years ago.  
     
  Like you, I'm not too worried about the extra tax that otherwise healthy young people are having to pay either as a penalty or as an overly expensive insurance premium (because the insurers ability to differentially price risk has been stripped down as part of ACA) - that is just income redistribution.  I'm much much more worried about people in the ~$30k-70k income bracket who are chronically ill with diabetes or neurodegeneration, whose employers are dumping their health plans and so they are now being forced to buy subsidized insurance on an exchange.  They have to work through a Byzantine mess of bureaucracy and rubbish to find out which plans will actually cover their doctors and the drugs that they are currently on, and when they finally do find that plan, they lose the subsidies that they were previously getting from pharmaceutical companies (because the Pharma companies can not offer copay assistance to people with any federal funding because of long standing health laws).  I've seen estimates that there are several hundred thousand people whose healthcare cost will go from 5-10% of their total income to 30%.  It is made worse because the systems to cap total exposure are not going to speak to each other, so for at least the first year of Obamacare, people's total exposure caps will be independently measured for drug spend and for medical spend.  
     
  I get that people are very polarized on the topic of Obamacare, but to not recognize that it is going to be painful for many people is just plain silly.
