Is it a slur? What are your thoughts?

I believe Hookers and Johns go together like Whores and Tricks, like Providers and Hobbyists, like Women and Men... need to strike the proper balance. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

Hookers is a historical term coming from the ladies who followed Gen. Hooker's men during the Civil War (War Between the States for you true southerners). Therefore, a ladies who travels about in search of clients can be more accurately described as a "hooker".

I prefer the terms provider or escort over whore, concubine or hooker, just as I prefer the term policeman instead of cop or pig. If I receive bad service, I may use one of the alternate terms, but I have only found a few occasions where I felt a need to do so.
If a woman has sex for money, she's a hooker. If a man pays said woman for sex, he's a john. Nothing derogatory about it. People who have sex with people for nothing more than just the fun of it are sluts. Why does it even matter?
Are you telling me that the ladies on this dating site are HOOKERS!

What ever you want to be called, introduced as ,or referred as makes no difference, it's how it's said and meant. The study of Micro-mannerism's can be fascinating but it seems the providers want us to use certain terms with certain identifiers when referring to them or themselves.

If someone introduces a person who takes money for sex as any of the preferred terms, as soon as they walk away, they are referred to in the negative terms you don't find appealing.

Jez, Bob that courtesan sure was pretty, her shoes matched her bag too!

Jez, Bob that hooker, (whore, or whatever), sure is hot. I bet you cant wait to slide her out of that dress and slide your dick down her throat!

It's that way in all parts of life when what you do makes people minimize your status in the world.

Telling someone that their job is no longer as a Janitor but now Environmental Technician still means he cleans the toilets and disinfects the tampon buckets, and maybe worse for a living. Does he get more Respect? more Money? Does he hold his head any higher? Looked at differently by lenders, judges, neighbors because of what people refer to what he does for money?

Fuck no! The minute he walks away after being introduced an ET he is referred to as a "Janitor" and as soon as he introduces himself to anyone as anything other than a Janitor he is just making himself even more ashamed, of what he does, than he already was. Do you think twice when shaking the Rotor Rooter mans hand? Does calling him a High Pressure Jetting/Vacuum Operator change the fact that his business is clearing blocked sewer lines?

I am sure this same conversation is going on right now in the chat room for "Swindlers". I bet they have a tread about referring to each other and how other's refer to them, or them to themselves, with more PC terms. We often refer to them in many forms, (Lawyers, Stock Brokers,lol) but in the end they are always right there between a "Used Car Salesman" and an "Outright Thief". So next time someone tries to rip you off in a shady deal, (rent you an incall that's under foreclosure) you make sure to refer to him as a "Creative Marketing Specialist" and not a "fraud", "rip off artist" or any of the other terms that demean his industry.

Think of the creative terms that apply in any illicit business, "Bookie", "Hacker", or "Bootlegger" and I will show you where they would prefer to be called something, almost anything else, else because of the stigma of their business.

No matter what color you paint it, "It is what it is"

Why do any of you want to be referred to as "fill in the blank"? Does it make you feel better that you suck cock for $400hr? Do you deserve to be referred to using a softer, gentler term than a hooker who sucks cock for $200?

"She's my Sex Technician" is an appropriate term for what you job is. There are few in this thread that could be considered as Courtesans or even Escorts but in the day to day you are fooling yourself as to what your business entails by putting lipstick on the proverbial PIG. You can dress it up all you want but you sell sex for money!

The guy you have sex with may want to stay on your good side so the doors not closed next time he needs something but when his wife catches him. she refers to you as a " Fucking Whore", "Cunt", and worse and so does the divorce lawyer. His lawyer uses softer and gentler terms to take the edges off the offense and try to obtain some sort of damage control.

I refer to Sex workers as Hoogars or Providers when putting them in a positive mode, other times I use Prostitute, Whore, Cumbucket, or worse depending on if your avatar this week is your mouth full of cum or not.

Providers the utilize ECCIE come in all flavors and colors, The ones who present themselves and carry themselves though their words and actions portraying themselves to be professional, I treat with the respect they deserve, but, they still won't suck my dick without payment!

The ones who do not present themselves as someone I "might" want to have a conversation with, I normally reserve judgment and refer to them as "hoogars". but, they still won't suck my dick without payment!

The ones who prove that they bring nothing to the table other than they want my cash and do not serve any other purpose to this board or society as a whole , I refer to as "whores", "Cum Bucket" or worse.but, they will not get the opportunity to suck my dick even if they tapped out the shop vac in my workshop!!

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Then isn't a slut who likes it up the butt no different than a hooker who takes it up the tooker??
Or a strumpet who takes it up the crumpet? Lmao!
There is a quote from a nerdy book I read."Always call a jack a jack, and a spade a spade. But always call a whore a lady because her life is hard enough." I get that, if a stream of unwashed, fat, haggling ladies tried to constantly get at my weiner, I'd probably be upset when they started using deragotry terms at the same time they were trying to get me to plow them without a condom.

I agree that what they do is definitely a challenge. What I don't agree with is singling a certain demographic out because they have "hard lives". Most of us have hard lives in some capacity. Now, a lot of these ladies are incredibly successful and are bringing in income hand over fist.

I am all for being old fashioned, but this is damn near 2016! How many people express discontent over calling doctors "quacks" or lawyers "crooks"? You don't hear a lot of bitching about it because those are two respected lines of work.

I use the full spectrum of the terms. However, at the end of the day, I respect the individual, not because they have a hard life and I pity them (hell, I'm sure some are living more plush lives than us), but because all people deserve it. Whether you're a Congressman or a Garbage man, you have my respect.

They are whores when it comes down to being on a "whore board". But when it comes down to a session, they become an individual. This is where I ensure I am proactively good, kind, and courteous because every person deserves that. I want them to enjoy their time with me as much as they can because we all deserve a good time right? I was even complemented in a session because the lady said I didn't make her "feel" like a whore.

My question is does a whore supposed to feel? Just because society looks down on the profession, does that make them of any less value? Hell no! We have just as wide a spectrum of whores as we do of the human race. All shapes, colors, backgrounds, professions, and socioeconomic statuses have there share of whores, be it on ECCIE or not.

I say, if you're a hooker, just own that shit and be proud! If it's true what they say, they're making money for doing something they love. Most Americans would envy that! I know I do!

It's just like my handle DarkeyKong, most people would look at that and think I am being derogatory towards myself when it is actually the opposite. I'm proud to be AA in spite of the fact that we are a traditionally disenfranchised people and that we are negatively viewed in many ways by society, from our speech, to our clothing, to our forms of entertainment etc....

However, there is nothing I can to about the fact that I have pigmentation in my skin, in most cases, there's nothing I can do about people viewing that as a minus. Therefore, I will own who I am and what I am to the fullest, hence the term "Darkey" there is no question about my ethnicity as I am owning it upfront! Only thing I can do Is be the best "person" I can be and ensure I'm incredibly successful in this life for myself and my peeps!

I guess I said all that to say this, we can't control what people call us, but we can control what we become! Therefore, the seat of our emotions can't be based in a name, but in our being. Ok, that's it rock on!
