I am not free and yet I can speculate with this, so.

Quote:

First, do you mean marry or date? Those could get two different answers, or at least two different perspectives on the issue.

I didn't want people to answer just "nonono" or "noyesyes" but to actually consider the situation(s). You can answer to both. It's a mind game and there's no absolute rules.

Quote:

Second, doesn't this question tend to assume that people would choose dates or mates based on appearance or sexual prowess? I noticed that a couple of people have already commented about personalities and common interests. For a long term relationship, aren't these considerations more important?

Did you read my opinion on this?

And no. This wasn't about looks. I was intrested in the social stigma and stereotypes and do people think they can look past it and see a person.

A lot of people seem to know strippers and those do are saying a bit more than average that they could consider dating one. Maybe speculating with this is too abstract if you don't know anybody who's in these "careers" or just reply "no, no, no" without thinkg anything.

XenuHubbard:

Hmm.. That makes sense.

txd

I would have to say no to 'A' the prostitute, the others I Would have no problem dating.

Kllr Wolf

A. No
B. No
C. Maybe

The reason for me is that I am a jelous type. Knowing that she is screwing other people woudl drive me nuts. As for a stripper maybe because I dont know if I could handle haveing many others staring at her naked. But who really knows until the situation arisis.

It would all depend on the woman and who she is rather than what she has done.

The real question is would you marry a woman who continued to be a pornstar, stripper or prostitute.

I don't think that I would have a problem as long as I knew that it was just business to them.

a pornstar would be kinda cool, and kinda freaking weird at the same time, when you know that she is just faking it on tape but then you start to think that if you wernt 9 inches then how could you impress her?

suviko,

Since you responded so nicely to my comments and shamed me for not answering the questions, I feel obligated to speculate.

First of all, I am not going to say an automatic "NO" to any of them. Any relationship, whether dating or marriage, is based on mutual attraction, mutual interests, and trust.

I would have some problems with "sharing" someone I care about, but the question then becomes one of how important the relationship is to me. If the relationship is important enough to commit myself to that person, we will find a way to work it out.

The issue of STDs and the potential of problem "fans" is another level of concern. Assuming that our relationship is based on the criteria I outlined, then we can work out those issues out too.

To me the question goes beyond the moral dilemma that those professions cause. The question is whether you are willing to see the person instead of the profession. I think that I am open-minded enough to do that.

But this is all speculation. I am not likely to meet anyone who is in any of these professions and I know that my wife is not willing to share me.

Not a chance in hell. I'm very jealous and would personally injury anyone that touch my spouse or significant other in that way. I know this because I've done this.

Depends on the person and what I know about them. I guess the main opstacle would be the fact that I believe that most of them would be "damaged goods." Sex is an intimate thing between 2 people and the first 2 have downgraded it to a business. How could you be intimate with someone during sex when she's mentally thinking "moan now, shudder, flip over onto belly, etc.?" It'd would take the joy outta the act. The stripper doesn't have this problem literally, but I'm more of a "spirit of the law" rather than "letter of the law" (which is very odd in today's society). While she doesn't actually have sex, she is enticing it. Overall, I'm leaning towards a "no." In general, I don't believe these 3 would be good mothers/wives (the whole point of marriage to me. Marriage is NOT about having a free harlot or servant, which a lot of guys forget). However, again, it all comes down to the actual person.

Prudish me.......

pornstar and stripped I could handle - after all she's coming home to me regardless of how she makes money.

as for prostitute, I'd be worried sick that some psycho would hurt her or worse. Only way I could live with that is if I was there as a bodyguard, but that'd open the whole can of worms of me having to deal with seeing her fuck other guys

Mr. Spacemonkey

a) That's a big HELL NO! (reasons are obvious)
b) I wouldn't mind fucking a pornstar, but date or marry . . . NO!
c) Another no, but not nearly as big a no as the other two.

The biggest reasons for me not dating a stipper or a pornstar would be jealousy, (like some others said). I just wouldn't be able to handle it.

If we both truly loved one another, and they were no longer in their chosen "profession", then yes - possibly excluding a prostitute. Too much "unknown" for me on that one...

No prostitutes.
No porn stars.
Have dated strippers before and it was no fun at all. Just stress. So no to that also. However, as Sixate said, I'd of course bang a pornstar or stripper, as long as they left me alone after that.

No to the first two, most definitely. The third would be an extremely tough choice...I'd have to be so completely head-over-heels in love that it just not phase me that she is a stripper. And if not that, then I'd simply have to find a job to support both of us so she wouldn't need to do it anymore...and if she chose to continue...well...let's just say I'd have a hard time with it.

no yes yes

My old Networking/Marketing teacher had a good analogy. A family guy looks at a woman like he looks at a car. Sure the sports car would be nice to drive around town and show off, but it doesn't really fit his needs.

As to the questions, I wouldn't on any of them. I got my own private porn star.

santafe5000

I'd have to say no to all three.

skysooner

The answer after some experience with it (stripper/prostitute anyway) is no, no and no.

I have dated strippers and some were just messed up mentally. Some were in okay shape mentally, but there is just something about the way it affects their outlook on men that makes it too difficult.

I dated a prostitute twice. I actually used prostitutes while in grad school at college. I was buried in a labloratory with no real chance at a relationship for a few months due to my work load. I met one girl through a service that really didn't belong there. She was doing it for extra money but just didn't have the mentality. We liked each other, but she wouldn't date a customer (good idea). She only lasted about 2 weeks before she gave it up. We ran into each other a few weeks after that at a club, and we ended up going out a few times. There is just something about sleeping with someone for money and then trying to date them that just doesn't work, and we went our separate ways.

rodgerd

I'd be the same. I'm a jealous guy. Both of us togethre with someone we've chose is OK. People being able to buy access to my partner? Not OK.
