One thing I love about this country.

It's totally cool for guys to be pretty, and nobody looks down on them or assumes they're gay or anything.

Awesome, this guy has it made. All the perks of prostitution, none of the AIDS.

Yeah, it's cool to see stuff like that I suppose. A male geisha. Heh.

Yeah... except the orgasm... unless you completely get off on being "lavished with undivided attention"

All the perks of prostitution... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point pleasant company rather than sex?

Yea, like conversation and making the person feel good about themselves.

That's what I thought. This is why I find this all the more interesting. Paying for good company rather than just sex or anything physical.

Well, a good prostitute would probably give good company as well as good sex... One wouldn't want to scare away one's customers, would one?

I think paying for good company is more pathetic than paying for sex.
Then again, paying for sex seems rather practical to me.

It'd be nice if the US embraced androgyny, although first I think it'd have to know what that is >_>

I actually like being able to tell if someone is male or female. Since, you know, I'm straight, and it prevents embarrassing mistakes later.

Why would you be embarrassed? It wouldn't make you less straight to mistake a gender.

I was thinking more the kind of thing where you take them out a few times and THEN find out.

See, I'm thinking that it might take a while if both were androgynous, and, like me, not prone towards asking that kind of question.

It was rather a joke.

I think that would be rather awesome, to go on a few dates with someone and not be able to determine their gender. Then again, I also like a fair bit of androgyny.

That's rather sad that anyone has to pay for what ought to come naturally.

It is truly unfortunate that some poor soles need to pay someone else to give them attention and to talk to them. People should want to do that. The people who pay, those are the loneliest soles

My soles would be lonely, but thankfully they come in pairs. Together, they make the bottoms of a complete pair of shoes!

I like my geisha to be clad in kimono, caked with makeup, and female.
