Maybe it's a way to survive for some (and let me make it clear, I am not generalizing and talking about every girl i see on the street) .. history has a funny way of repeating itself -- maybe she was born into a family that thinks this type of 'work' is okay... maybe they think AIDS is only contracted through gay men too... it doesn't make it right. Maybe her mother or father or whoever, is forcing her out there to do these things. i don't know, i didn't ask her! sure, she's not taken by the hand and made to do these things, but when she comes home with no money, then what? a beating? .. sexual punishment for her? god only knows.. maybe a 'sorry hunny, better luck tomorrow night' (mm hmm, yah right) maybe it's the only way she can support her family.. again, history tends to repeat itself. there are a lot of 'what if's' and 'maybes' and i can only assume (which makes an ass out of YOU and ME .. yes, me too because really, i don't know 100%)
sure they keep them employed, but at what cost. their dignity? their respect? it's terrible no matter how you look at it. i don't like in Canada and i don't like it here.. i can't imagine anyone 'loving their job' doing this... at the end of the night, even with money in their pocket, they have to feel ashamed of what they're doing... there has to be at least a little self doubt in there telling them that this is not the way... it's human nature. selling your body for money is not a respectable 'profession'.
and FYI, i don't hang out in bars every night. i make enough to support myself... not every Suzy, Sarah and Sasha out on the streets who i feel sorry for. i also would love to help all the 4 year old boys i see out on the streets at night begging, or sleeping curled up into a little ball shivering.. but again, i cant do so. this is a reason i don't have children of my own yet... but who knows, i think a beer or two tonight seem to be in order.. oh wait, ill keep it to one so i can save some girl from being with at least one nasty tourist looking for some nookie...cause you know, I'm mother Theresa on my off days..
you seem to have a lot of attitude about this ... and yes, i do know families who don't support this and think that it's terrible. my bf's family for one. i guess we have some common ground there.
well, being a 'tourist', i guess you could still call me, i come here because i love my friends, bf (and family) the beach, the new people i meet everyday, the fruit that i can go and pick off the tree, the secluded beaches I've found, the beautiful scenery and weather etc etc etc. i don't come here for the prostitutes, nor does my family when they visit.
who knows what you are... there are a few things that come to mind but ill refrain from posting these.
what brought you here in the first place....??
