Prostitution and you

[Rob_Royale]

I often wonder how things might change is prostitution was an everyday thing. I mean beyond the obvious, brothels popping up in industrial, entertainment and business sectors. I mean jobs in general.

Open position - administrative assistant.
Required experience. Three years within a high pressure agency. Male prefered. Computer and phone skills a must.
Experience with cunnilingus, vaginal and anal sex. Massage experience a bonus but not required. Must be able to work, long, hard hours. Drug and STD testng required.

Prostitution is perfectly legal in Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia (to name three). In Japan, everything but penis-enters-partner is legal.

 

[Rob_Royale]

My point was what sort of creative ways would it become part of our everyday lives?

Edited OP.

For On The Job last year, I wrote a story about an Employee Satisfaction Specialist, whose job was exactly what you think it was

Granted, I left it somewhat ambiguous whether such a role was normal in the story’s universe; but if it were, I’d imagine there might’ve been someone like the FMC working in every company or a corporate department.

For Americans....

A Doordash type delivery service.

An Uber-Delight service. The passenger is taken to their destination while receiving fellatio/cunnilingus along the way.

Yelp gets a new 'service' category.

Perhaps even in a vehicle custom built for the purpose? Sex toys, restraints? Had a lousy business trip? Call Foxy's Airport Limo Service, where you really get 'serviced' before geting home.

Big thing I could see is a DoorDash version of it that @dirk2024 mentioned: like once you get registered you can put yourself up on it and match with folks for quick cash or combine for group dates.

A. Dad’s friend suddenly doesn’t want to come over as much when daughter is visiting as she was his “date” on night

B. Hustler/side gig addict has a client who is taking a fiver, DoorDash, and quick date appointment from them

C. Getting stuck in the waiting room of a dealership becomes a profitable venture when app users start clicking on in the same room.

 

[Brandnewbuddy]

My cynical side is showing but I could also see those “heart warming but not really” stories taking a turn.

“This teacher turned tricks every night so she could make sure all of her students got hot meals and could go on a class trip. To reward her, we had our executives take her for a group date and give her a $10k tip afterwards!”

 

[Brandnewbuddy]

Another idea: MC has a massive crush on someone who is doing it as a side gig. I think for a little extra flavor, maybe that person is a friend of a sibling or someone they are platonically close with.

A. MC realizes they could just hire their crush for a night. Other people are doing it but if they do, would it make it even harder to start a romantic relationship with their crush? So the story is a struggle over that

B. Crush actually invites them to be one of their first clients. Cause Crush likes them but as a friend and figures it will he a fun story and time. Does MC go ahead and take the invite or do they reveal their crush before during or after?

Thinking of the broader implications on society rather than just the transactional parts of legal brothels...

I would think there would be a lot lot more movies like Caligula and Nymphomaniac where body doubles were doing a whole lot more on screen than we usually get. But sadly likely fewer scenes without doubles.

If you go back far enough, acting was only a couple steps up the social ladder from prostitution, which is why some of the scenes in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead are like they are. "It didn't... have to be... obscene." So there's been a good deal of energy put into legitimizing the performance arts.

I think one curveball could be political debates: new challenger is a woman who spent a lot of time working as a legal escort. So of course everyone is expecting her opponents to rake her over the coals for it…but oddly, they are very civil in their debates…cause she has all the dirt on them from her time as an escort

If it's an everyday thing, then presumably it'd be normalized enough not to be (too) embarrassing for both the clients and provider. No more than, say, the rather small amount of flak AOC used to get for having worked as a waitress.

 

[ChuckWolf]

A similar direction could be a licensed sex-therapist that really enjoys their job and can get pretty kinky with their clients and having their bill paid by your insurance company (the therapist knows all the loopholes and has the right contacts).

 

[Brandnewbuddy]

I think one change would be trade schools or colleges offering classes related to prostitution.

For example:

College offers a course as a possible alternative to intro to psych or philosophy. Now people who haven’t taken the class laugh about it or sign up thinking it’s an easy A.

Students who take it though often find a lot about themselves, their classmates, and even people in their lives. The course isn’t just “have sex.” It’s about building rapport, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, marketing yourself, and identifying a client’s needs and putting them at ease: so it actually winds up being really popular with business students, therapists and doctors, and performing arts.

Now for the sexy parts: the class doesn’t just have students fuck for their grades, but they do have them do group projects, set up profiles and do some nonsexual dates…if the student wants to take things further on their own though, nothing is stopping them

another thing I think that would change is how places market themselves.

Like right now, for Nevada you gotta go to out of the way counties, meanwhile Vegas is raising prices for everything while offering less, so if sex work became legal, I could see Nevada becoming a complete deadzone OR suddenly Vegas starts really courting prostitutes: like free rooms at resorts if you advertise you’re there or accept a contract to give a discount to guests.

On the flip side, I could see small towns trying to court or build up their own brothels or sexcation stays: Like big time concubine comes back home and agrees to help train some talent up and shoot an ad promoting her hometown as an intimate little spot for a fling with small town beauties

They could partner with local B&B's, offering a discount at the brothel if you're staying at the B&B.

Vegas sending out talent scouts to recruit. Probably a whole industry of agents instead of madams and pimps.

Just had another thought: with so many late night and 24 hour places closing for business, I could see brothels taking on secondary businesses.

“Hi…welcome to Isis, would you like me to call the girls down?”

“Actually, the Bubblemat is closed and, I know it’s embarassing but”

“Oh, no worries, we do laundry too! Now you can do it yourself…or you can pick a girl to relax with while we do it.”

Or

“Oh hey Roy!”

“PASTOR DONOVAN???”

“You here for the five egg omelette? It’s my favorite dish when I’m burning the midnight oil.”

Unfortunately for health department reasons the kitchen staff cannot fraternize with the girls during work hours or in or around the kitchen.

So no one has yet brought up the glorious windfall of cash that would flood government coffers once they start taxing the world's oldest profession. And it works for both sides of the isle. Wow! It's a fiscal conservative's dream and a progressive politician's piggy bank, all rolled into one sexual package. We could call it "The Intimacy Services Revenue Contribution."

But where would the money go:

The Federal Bureau of Hookup Hygiene: A new agency dedicated to ensuring public safety. Their budget would fund a nationwide "Condoms for the People" program, because nothing says "responsible governance" like making sure every citizen has access to ribbed, ultra-thin protection, courtesy of your local sex worker's tax dollars.

The National Endowment for Erotic Arts: Why should ballet and opera get all the funding? A portion of the revenue would be earmarked for grants to "performance artists" specializing in interpretive lap dances that include unplanned happy endings. Every city would get its own taxpayer-funded "Red Light District Cultural Center."

Infrastructure Overhauls: Forget bridges and roads. The real priority would be reinforcing hotel bed frames and upgrading city lighting to create a more flattering, romantic ambiance in public parks. Outdoor sex is no longer public indecency. It's now aesthetically pleasing and government-subsidized.

The "Happy Endings" Social Security Fund: A new retirement account where sex workers can contribute a portion of their earnings, which the government will "invest" for them. It's the only 401(k) where the "matching contribution" comes with a complimentary happy ending.

That's one interesting way to edge.

The ATF would be relabeled ATFS but everyone would call them FATS or STAF.

That's one interesting way to edge.

Start outside Narita airport and fly direct to Germany?

I feel a visceral loathing for prostitutes. Even before the AIDS epidemic became known I felt instinctively that prostitutes were crawling with contagion. When a street walker shook my hand to thank me for retrieving a purse stolen by a purse snatcher I rinsed my hands with denatured alcohol.

I do not hate prostitutes. I feel compassion for them. That is a horrible way for a woman to live.
