I’m pretty open about pooning, which makes for some lively discussions…like the one I recently had with an opinionated, worldly-wise woman friend. She knows I’ve developed the occasional harmless crush on a select few favorite SPs.
“Could you handle dating an escort?” she asked.
“From reading escort review websites I gather some guys can,” I said. “Personally no; it’s just too hard. But you know, I sometimes fantasize about hooking up with an intelligent and still reasonably attractive retired SP. There must be millions of them in China alone, and quite a few in Canada too. Surely most eventually want to settle down to a normal life.”
“Yes,” she said, “but they rarely tell their partners or husbands about their past as sex workers. Why in the world would you consider someone like that a promising match?”
"Of course, the usual things would have to check out—mutual attraction, shared interests, emotional warmth," I answered. "But if she's an ex-SP I guess she's had more chance to hone her skills in bed... She's more likely to be sexually adventurous, not boringly monogamous or possessive, a great companion to visit swing clubs with, for example.”
“It’s not what you think,” my friend said. “Let me tell you as a woman, former sex workers are likely to be burnt-out, washed-up human wrecks. The last thing they’re interested in is sex. They’re bound to carry dark memories and traumas they’ll project onto you. They often hate men, and the only likely reason they’d marry you is to be supported and perhaps have kids. Plus, they’ll remember lovers that are far better than you, stronger, more handsome, richer. Often they have some disease, likely at least herpes. And most won't have a good education or marketable skills, so you'll likely have to support her financially without getting intellectual stimulation or even plenty of good sex in return."
Well, this was the gist of my friend's opinion, quite an earful. I must say, my respect for the indispensable function of SPs is undiminished—but my naïve enthusiasm for considering former SPs to be promising relationship material certainly feels like a punctured balloon.
