	Sex in the city... Got spare money?

always on cops and what not there's always dozens of prostitution busts and what not and on tv, the inner city is portrayed as having dozens of prostitutes on the street.

but honestly, living for as many years as i have in philly, i have rarely seen prostitutes. I mean we got plenty of morally loose women and some who even have sex with men for material things but outright prostitutes seem a rarity.

so is it just some kind of white trash thing out in Gary, Vegas, or detriot? or am i just glazing over the prostitutes here in philly?

Don't know about Philly, but DC is crawling with streetwalking prostitutes. And no, this isn't an advertisement.

Depends how visible they make themselves. Maybe in Philly you have to go to certain spots to get th right info about where to go.

i'm thinking there's a fairly strong police prescence that prevents them from being out on the street real visible. i mean on Cops and what not, they're always right there looking very much like prostitutes trying to get johns but i dont see none of that in philly... probably it's underground

	Tired of ads?

Albert Speer, but then again, didn't you say some time ago that all women who can be considered as loose women are prostitutes?

They're not too widespread in Detroit. They cluster in neighborhoods here and there but avoid downtown.

We have "john's" tv, which puts everyone who's busted on cable Tv. Well see how much of a deterrent that is

	Suffering from ads?

Pekka:

Being somewhat acquianted with the industry, I think it's fair to say you generally only see streetwalkers at certain times of the day or night.

They're not stupid. They earn off passing traffic. No traffic, no work = streetwalkers.

That's not to say you won't find them at the quieter times in bars, hotels, cinemas, restaurants, in fact anywhere people go.

I can understand you being pi55ed off about the portrayal of your home town as somewhat more in your face than it really is - but hey, that's the media. Give them a cockroach and they'll stick a zoom mike on it to make it look like a bad sci fi movie.

Just because you can't see them working lasses (and lads) doesn't mean they aren't there. They just don't always wear "work clothes" or a big flashing neon sign that says "pu55y for hire".

I live right next one of the two woods of Paris, the usual hangout of the whore industry. So of course I'd tend to say Paris is filled with whores, but this is an extremely limited point of view. In the city centre, there are nearly no streetwalking whore except at a few spots...

I don't know about your city, but in my city, the vast majority of prostitutes are African-American women who cater to African-American men. They're commonly known as crack whores, and they abound in the city's worst areas. You don't see these things in the areas most people see, because most people avoid the areas where these things occur.

The squalor such women live in is unbelievable, and I can't image their daily lives. They prostitute themselves out for drugs more often than money, or the money to buy drugs. The way the live is little different than that of the prostitutes in the East End of London in Victorian times who went with a customer for as little as a crust of bread.

I have no doubt that Phily, like just about every other city in the world, has a red light zone where the hookers and johns all go to. I'm equally sure that inner city Phily has lots of hookers but they just might not be as blatent about it as in other places.

yeah its probably just not as blatant as it's portrayed on cops or tv. and now that i think of it, there's plenty of whore-looking women all over but i never think they're really whores... part of the thing is just the style of real small clothes so you can't tell.

Of course, who cares one way or another? Are prostitutes really hurting anyone?

I think not.

Once you know what you're looking for, it's rather easy to spot hookers. If you don't know, you'll miss 'em. I've been proposition once, seen quite a few. For the most part, streetwalkers tend to be exceedingly unattractive. Pretty Woman my ass. The street walkers in South Miami Beach were kinda pretty though.

Then you're not looking very hard. I'd bet you could find a prostitute in the Vatican if you really wanted to. It's just one of those dirty little facts of life.

I've seen some hot hookers. Especially over seas in poor countries where women really don't have another option.

I don't know. A lot of guys get rejected, even by loser women. Plus, if you get a hooker, you don't have to worry about her phoning you up, busting you in front of a girlfriend or wife, you don't have deal with her problem. You pay your money, get your time, and you're done.

Plus, in the bars, the hooker tend to be of a slightly higher class, depending on the bar. Street walkers are the lowest of the low, but they're also cheap. And who knows, maybe some guys like the scabby, toothless look. Personally, I'd never use a prostitute that wasn't gonna cost me a week's pay. At least she'll be good looking and disease free.

It is sort of weird how someone from the inner city doesn't know where to go to get a hooker. I figure even if you're not into that you're still going to know which parts of town, on which nights (military payday or welfare check day usually) the hookers will be out.

I've been to places, like Fort Benning in Georgia, where it's illegal to buy a drink in most restaurants as well as any time on Sunday because it offends peoples' conservative values but where there are still no less then five whore houses at the edge of town. Everybody knew about them even though I'm sure most of the stuck up old white folks never went there.

Alexander's Horse:

that's my point... i dont understand why prostitutes are portrayed as being everywhere in the city, when i frankly dont see too many. now and then yeah... but if cats want some action, they just find a non-tricking loose woman. i dont see no transactions involved a la prostitution.

although it is obvious sometimes that places do partake in prostitution what with ads talking about 'escorts' and 'full-body message'... and a couple strip clubs got some women hanging around that probably are hookers. so maybe i wasnt really paying attention to it. but still... i think the non-tricking whore is the new way for horny pervert johns to get some.
