Dump of my thoughts mixed with musings,bitching and learnings!

 Food for Thought

I am in sombre mood today. Was cleaning up my sms inbox and found this sms from a very dear friend of mine who  posseses this knack of dark humor and sarcasm which I have not seen quite often.She is one person who runs away from commitments but also keeps ruing over the fact that all her friends are getting hooked up or  married and she is gonna die a old soul!

Here is the sms ,

Prostitution and "serial" dating are one and the same. You just get paid in "kind" for someone's company. One is for money, the other is to beat loneliness.

I dont completely agree with her, but also I fall short of arguments if I have to prove her wrong.

I open this statement to my esteemed readers to think and ponder about and respond in the comments!

Rohit

Everything, including relationships, is now money and commerce ... emotions can go take a walk. Human sexuality as it is practiced now and the concepts of morality imposed upon humanity by the monotheistic overlords are totally unnatural. Q.E.D.

Without going into prostitution and all that I would like to add one thing here. Even if he is not hiring a female companion and only engages her in friendship money is needed for dining together, travelling etc., So it should not be termed paid service. Though normally man pays there some lucky guys whose women pay for them! Either way it is not paid service.It is an appreciation of a companion's presence.

Ledzep,
I think I could not convey my point of view properly. Prostitutes do have emotions..but surely no positive emotions as far as their work as in prostitution is concerned. Emotion per-se may not, but conscience definetly dies down.
Work does involves emotions..passion etc, but I dont know how true it would be as far as prostitution goes. I wont be able to comment more on this. Purely my point of view. May be, people who have experianced or have come in contact with them can explain it much better. Equating such profession with any other, I dont think will be appropriate.

Here what the matter of concern for Rohit (and all of us reading) is the psyche and state of mind in which Rohit's friend has sent such a text message and nohing else.

Ciao

Well...I'd say Prostitution more than often than not ends up with u-know-wat between two people WHEREAS Serial Dating does not necessarily have a sexual element everytime two ppl meet :-) So,I'd not mix two things up in any case.

If 'serial' dating is the same as booty calls, then the objective is the same as in going to a prostitute- just to have sex without all the emotional bonding/mental baggage and no strings whatsoever attached to the encounter i.e. a date aimed only at sexual gratification. Of course, it is already understood that prostitution is a business, done for money etc.. is indeed different, but the intent of both involved in a 'serial' date is the same as the intent of the customer in prostitution.

So I guess both are similar but not the same. (safe! good enough? hehe)

LedZep, good point!

its unfortunate your pal is at a stage where she believes someone ELSE can fill the hole in her heart. seems to me, she would really value kindness...

beneath the veneer of moral sanction aren't most in marriages also getting 'paid in kind'?? ...so to formulate it like you have, how is being a wife/spouse different from being a prostitute/sex-worker???

i don't think all dating is with intent of getting engaged or marriage, sometimes it is just for the sex.though prostitution is selling oneself for money, serial dating is compromising one's worth, for something other then money.

well lets just replace 'Prostitution' - the word. say with another occupation-accountant or say program manager-u work to get ur paycheck! same with Prostitution..tis work albeit the oldest profession. serial dating or dating yes-you are checking out possible partners..i dunno..the more u check out..better ur chances of finding the RIGHT person? just a thought! of course u may not wanna hurt anyone,lead anyone untoward,in the process..

and your friend estranged, should be reassured, that when(NOT if) met with the right person, together they would be able to assuage,abate any commitment phobia..thats what all that LOVE is about? -methinks

Good luck dude with ur friend..
