Interesting thread! Didn't feel like reading ALL of it, but did read the original post by Liv and a few of the following posts.
I have to agree that it's interesting to find people who don't believe in the standard reasoning about prostitution! There are all kinds of women (and men!) in this line of work!
So far I've met most kinds I believe, and a number of them have been like how Liv seems to be, but anytime I try to tell someone about this reality when debating prostitution, they all stare at me like I'm being fooled and is a horrible person for using these poor women (those people never even mention the men in this line of work, oddly enough.).
I would have loved for them to be there when I met this lovely woman whom I forgot to ask about what was included and what was extra, but who when asked about kissing said it was extra, told me I didn't know this and the proceeded to give me a kiss, smiling, and later, when we switched positions, leaned in and gave me another one saying "one on the house", again smiling, and who went out of her way to ask me if I was sure I could get home that late, gave me directions back (I'm wasn't used to Copenhagen yet) to the central station, complimented me on being a nice man several times and didn't rush at all. She didn't have to be that nice, but she was anyway. Warm, caring and a decent human being, not unhappy, not doing drugs, not being forced, and actually enjoying herself when meeting someone who responds to her warmth!
