Is a man giving gifts a form of prostitution?

[hisangel]

So someone asked on the site if a guy giving her a tattoo for free when she is sleeping with him is like prostitution. I noticed that a lot of people seemed to be very upset about the whole issue. When someone posted their opinion it was either received with a lot of up arrows or a lot down arrows. I received a lot of down arrows for my opinion. I'm not mad at all but I realized that I might have stumbled onto a subject that is very sensitive to either sex. People are saying the originally poster is fake and the whole question is fake and that's fine but I am still curious to hear people's opinions on the subject. I want to preface with saying that I don't think a man giving a woman a gift is prostitution at all! So please don't turn this into an opportunity to dump on the female sex or yell at another girl for her views. I am simply trying to hear what men and women think of the matter. So gentlemen, is it offensive if a woman thinks you are giving her things for the sake of sex or is she correct? Have you ever given a woman a gift after she did something for you sexually? And if you did, what was your reasoning for it? Girls have you ever felt, whether in a committed relationship or not, that a guy giving you a gift after sex was questionable? Or did you receive it knowing the heart it was giving in? So everyone knows where I am coming from, I have been giving jewelry, by a man I was in a committed relationship with which he bought the night after we had a very, very nice time together in bed. I knew he wasn't paying me for it though. He always took care of me as we lived together and was very loving and respectful of me at all time. But I did think the gift was from what happened the night before. Not as payment, but as him saying he appreciated me. So that has colored my view on the issue.

Okay, I am a police officer. I pull a car of individuals over one night for speeding and suspicion of drunken driving. I approach the vehicle, take the drivers license and registration to run her information. Upon walking back to the car from writing her ticket I approach the window to see the drivers skirt pulled up to just below her panties and her cleavage showing. She asked If there was something that she could offer me to eliminate her ticket. Without a response from me, she decided to show me her chest. I asked the woman to step from the vehicle and put her hands behind her back. I arrested her for indecent exposure as well as the traffic ticket. So was I wrong for doing that? No. Do I like t*ts? Yes. But should she be cut a break for breaking the law because she has a nice rack? No. Same goes for this girl. It's not illegal what she is doing, but its class-less. If my sister came home and told me she was in a relationship with a tattoo artist and was getting free work, that's fine. If she tells me that she sleeps with one for free work, that comes off like she has no respect for herself.

I don't think it would offend me if a woman things I am giving her things because she sexes me, but I would be really bothered by it. I don't want to be used like that. I would really want to address it, and let this woman know that I am more than that, and that any gifts I give or have given her were not purely "a trade-off".

i don't think it's prostitution, it's having a sugardaddie. the idea of having one is incredible, but I could never do it... I have too much pride. but I'll offer my boyfriend something sexual for lunch or something. last week I wanted to give him a bj and I wanted a sandwich from the corner store, so I told him I'd give him a bj if he bought me a sandwich. he said no, you don't have to give me a bj, I'll just buy you a sandwich. I got offended and asked why he didn't want a bj. and he said that it would be like prostitution if he bought me a sandwich for a bj. so I said ok... but I really want to give you a bj! so I gave him one, and I got a sandwich. but that little story sums up the typical girls view and the typical guys view I think... I was just being playful and didn't think of it as prostitution, considering it was with my boyfriend of 4 years... but he doesn't want any type of sexual act if I am doing it for any reason other then loving him and being horny lol and I can completely understand that. lucky for him, those two feelings are 24/7 with me, so he has nothing to worry about.

You are amazing. I haven't had a girlfriend yet who would volunteer for such a task. you're a keeper.

[jdcpa]

Yeah.. her & hisangel.. we have to whipe out the rest of the female population.. and mass-clone these two girls..

[hunnie-bunches]

my opinion is there are so many females sadly most under age where I live having sex with different random guys and getting nothing but a bad name. at least prostitutes get something for their time. I am not one because I only have sex with men I am in relation ships with but, I have always said don't knock the hooker when your teenage daughter is doing the same thing for free while asking her parents to buy her everything under the sun...also, even if most of the prostitutes around my area are crack heads, at least they aren't robbing people and stealing to get the sh!t.

I love your attiftude! I, for one, beleive that prostituion should be legalized.

[Cartiphilus]

I've heard even women say, "You (men) pay for it one way or the other".

[jdcpa]

That's only because we're the only ones who aren't cheap.. just because you're paying.. doesn't mean you're paying for "it".. and even if the reason you're paying is for "it", it doesn't mean "it" is/was worth it..

[Cartiphilus]

You write as if you were a girl but your profile indicates you're a guy? Which is it...you have a d*** or not?

[cjwright79]

If a girl isn't physically attracted to any guy she spends time with, outside a work, school, social, or family setting, then there's something fishy going on. Doesn't mean it can't be done, but it's not an ideal situation.

A form of prostitution, no. It maybe just a simple gesture and he’s just being nice!

If the two people aren't dating, I consider it to be like prostitution. Prostitutes do sex acts for guys and are paid with money. What's the difference if you are getting gifts for those same sex acts? It's just a different form of payment.

For your last update about whether or not men buy things for their girlfriends for sex, I don't. I get gifts on Christmas, her birthday, and a random days throughout the year just because. I would never give her anything because she allowed me to have sex with her.

[jdcpa]

Yeah, but would you get her stuff for "allowing" you to eat scooby snacks & good doggy treats too?

[Opinion Owner]

Hell yeah. I'll do anything for a scooby snack.

her profile pics and her tat pics are fake. She got them off the net. The whole story is made up.
