If you are successful in politics and still have to pay to get laid, you are a fucking LOSER!

Seriously, there are enough power hungry, position seeking, ect men and women in the world that if you hold a position of power, then you shouldn't have any trouble getting some action when you want it.

I had a prof in college tell the class one time how he was his friend's campaign manager when he was running for a local position...at most it was to rep to state assembly. He said as manager he had women offer to sleep with him just to meet the candidate.

Now, if you're governor, it should be even easier for you. And you have to pay thousands of dollars you must be one f'en loser.

like a few grand?

I can think of some things that no "respectable" person would want to do-at least not for free. Yeah, there are people who will do anything as a freebie but they're not that common.

saying that Spitzer wanted some sex that wasn't "safe." But that she knew "how to handle that type."

after one's been laid.

That's what the money's for....

I think it depends on the hinge of one's relationship with pleasure and Selfhood rather than career trajectory.

David Vitter isn't MORE worthless because of the prostitue affair. He was worthless to begin with. The prostitute association gave us reason to hope he would no longer be in the Senate, yet there he is.

Nothing Spitzer does sexually is anyone else's business, except his wife most directly, and while it is a great threat to his political profile and image, its being illegal is not the point, IMO, as much as it is whether we'd be hearing one peep about adultery-with-prostitutes if the john involved was not a Democartic govenror of New York.

apparently wasn't getting at home and he decided was worth paying for. Anonymous sex with an expensive prostitute who either had no idea who he was or would absolutely never squeal on him was no doubt preferable to hoping to get lucky in a bar with a willing stranger. Discretion, as someone posted above. Absolutely.

that's not the point....he wants more. And feels 100% entitled to it.

And sorry but this guy looks like my next door neighbor's dog's butt. I see why he paid for it. If I had been the prostitute, I would have insisted he wear a paper bag over his head! lol.

Using his power to get sex...

He was paying her for her discretion.

.. gets it. Sheesh.

Non professionals can't be counted on for discretion.

They're not paying for sex, they're paying for discretion.

A prostitute is not going to blackmail a john or run to the press in the event the deal goes sour, so to speak.

Hi priced call girls are fantasy women who fulfill the important and wealthy man's deepest longings, things his wife would tell him he's crazy for if he ever expected them of her.

Such fantasies can involve having more than one woman at a time (although I'm told that one's doomed to a lot of starting, stopping, and running out of gas) or other rather normal dreams or getting an important mover and shaker into diapers like Vitter or into a bathtub to get peed on as an antidote to the constant fawning they experience in their everyday lives.

We nurses meet everybody out there sooner or later, and sex workers have told me that's what they do, fulfill the fantasy men have that the wife either vetoes or hasn't even been told. For poor men, that's a blow job when it's not his birthday. For rich men, it can be more complicated.

Once men "make it" to the place where the "rules" no longer apply to them, anything goes.

especially if it requires expensive props and surroundings.

the day-to-day sex/love paradigm women tend to value. Rachet it up!!!

and moved on to more perverted realms. Who knows.

Hard to find those girls at Denny's

Oh, I can't believe I went there.

GO AWAY AFTERWARD.

Or so I've heard.
