Have you ever paid or been paid for sex?
With the recent conversations about Spitzer and Stabenow's husband, I thought it might be interesting to pose this question here on DU. I believe that prostitution will eventually be decriminalized in many places, but in order for that to happen, we have to be willing to talk openly about it.
I have both paid for and been paid for intimate time spent with another person, and I have no regrets about it.
Anyone else?

thought I could charge retroactively.
He said. . . ". . .ahhhhh. . . NO. . ."

6. I personally see nothing wrong with it
I can't say that I've been paid for it, but I have been known to drop a few bucks here and there.
As George Carlin says, ****ing is legal, and selling is legal - so why isn't selling ****ing legal? Sex is the ONLY legal service which is illegal to exchange money for.
I can understand not wanting to have streetwalkers loitering in front of businesses, and I don't mind having prostitution regulated - ie regular testing, etc. But what two consenting adults do in private should be nobody's business - let alone the governments.

14. I think that gay male sex also excludes you from donating
As far as I know, if you're a man who's had sex with just one other man since 1977, you're not allowed to donate blood. But if you've had sex with 10,000 women, donating blood is no problemo.

I was arrested in a Gay demostrarion in SF.
The "civil rights"lawyer blew me for his retainer. I git out of jail that's what's important
His name was Billy Joe Beckwith (BJ) and it was a demonstration outside Macy's on Union Sq.
I feel history demands the truth this was in 1969, I believe
I'm don't know that I would trust that lawyer's advice given his grasp on ethics.
