What is a whore?
A prostitute, a hooker, a call girl, an escort. The names change, the definitions don't.
Specifically, it means being paid for sex or a sex act , which also means if a girl (or guy) doesn't engage in any sex acts, they do not fit into the definition?
It makes definition ludicrous.
What is a sex act?
That covers everything from full penetrative sex, to taking a girl out for dinner, and everything in between.
Taking a girl out to dinners isn't a sex act?
It is if the male participant is turned on by the thoughts of having sex with this girl and if the male participant masturbates that night thinking about her,( because he goes home alone) is this then an act of sex ?
(sorry girl's, it happens - a lot).
Is the girl an unwitting whore, because he paid for her time, her meal?
His muse, to get sexually excited?
The broad nature of what defines an act of sex, makes it totally meaningless - and can only be truly known by the individual, and what's in the individuals mind.
A secret.
Because definitions of what a sex act actually is - the very broadness of what encompasses it , is legislation built on foundations of sand.
Moral outrage of being paid for sex is neither logical, or intellectually honest.
It is a transaction occurring every night, by the millions, all over the world - and has been ever since societies got together.
This can be direct financial agreement between the parties, or a more subtle transaction of nights out, meals, a trip on a yacht, whatever.
You see, the dynamic is the same, and it human nature. It is nothing evil. (unless your perception of human beings is an evil state, of course).
Which brings me to deciding if you are whore or not?
My definition of being a whore, is being paid - consciously - to spend time with someone.
No one else can decide what constitutes an act of sex for you, because the very definitions of it are so subjective and vague, as to become meaningless.
It's is about the commitment of time from one individual to another- in exchange for money.
That makes the definition very clear, and avoids any ambiguity.
That makes nearly everyone with a job, a whore.
How many of you, employed by someone else, would willingly participate in the giving of 40 or 50 hours a week - of your time - your life, without monetary reward?
( I wonder how many people are employed, that are in the sexual fantasies of their bosses, each night?)
There is no line to be drawn, because it only exists in the minds of individual. Their own subjective morality and interpretation in respect to sexual relations.
Our time is the only thing - our only asset - we posses.
The only commodity we have, to exchange.
What monetary value you attribute to your time, is also an entirely personal choice.
Some people are happy allocating $10 an hour to their time value.
Some will only accept $200 an hour, for giving there time to someone.
Who is the cheap whore ?
We are all whores, to one degree or another.
Society sanctions the moral high ground for condemnation of activities - activities that are not so much morally wrong - but maybe more of a reflection on ourselves- and how little we value we put on our own lives.
Our own time.
Moral indignation blinds people. In doing so, it avoids the hard questions of having to ask yourself about the value of your time.
It's about how we allocate the value of our assets, nothing more.
