Paying for it

Browse the CE board of any city and you'll see postings that include dollar signs. Some attempt to be subtle: "Cute girls get in touch $oon!" (hey, I did say attempt), and others don't bother: "Normal girl, get in touch $$$$." Offers of sugar-daddyism drift around (as does the occasional request for a sugar daddy) as well as explicit gift-giving, shopping trips and the like.

Of course, all of these are miscategorized on the CE board, but that's beside the point, because, well, they keep cropping up. I'm sure it won't surprise you all to know that I'm not impressed.

Sure, yes, casual sex market is really run by women, to a large degree, at least if you're not interested in hooking up with men (where you'll have a lot more success), and so, one presumes, the thinking goes, that if you can't stand out any other way, you can at least pump up your prospects by offering cash or other material rewards.

And the truth is, I'm not particularly against prostitution. But I do find the disengenuity of these ads annoying at best. My favorite of these is the one that said, "Non pro wanted! I'll pay $$$." Perhaps he's unclear on the concept of "professional". If you think that just because you're offering to pay on a free board, it doesn't count as a prostitution arrangement, you're wrong. And if you think it doesn't count because it's an ongoing thing and you trade shopping trips for blow jobs, you're wrong again. If that's what you want, fine, but at least be honest with yourself about what you're asking for and what you're getting.

And for the love of all the sex in the world, don't offer money to a woman who didn't hint at it in her ad. She might take it as an insult, and I promise, if she's anything like me, it won't get you a reply.
