It is nice to see you back, I hope your rough patch is behind you now.

Hey sister girl, just tell your brothers and sisters to shave that there rough patch

To the orginial question....words don't bother me. Actions are another matter. Give me a wanton whore that acts like an angel any day over some wordsmith-a-dee whose actions do not line up with her prose.

People, remember we are all Human Beings first and foremost. (Some a little salty'er than others!)

Hope nothing scares you back and you continue to heal very well. We (and I'm sure I can speak for most others here) only wish you the best.

I don't mind the term at all. It has a venerable tradition in literature going all the way back to Shakespeare.

Rudyard K · 08-13-2010, 12:01 PM

I'm never very comfortable with any of the terms. Since this is a pretty intimate venture it is kind of hard to refer to it in any business term.

It would be a bit like referring to a guy I'm playing golf with as my "agent"...or my "consultant"...or my "employee". Hell, if I'm playing golf with him...he qualifies to be referred to as my "buddy" or my "friend".

Not everything works according to the formulas that we all like to pretend are the only way things function in this world. The classical world of the Demimonde does exist, it's just a taboo subject for some reason.

I said I liked that line, not that you would.

Welcome back Lady!

What do you shout out to your date after a hole in one in the bedroom? "Hey friend! Did you see that shot?"

I knew I didn't like golf for a reason: just playing it indiscriminately defines my buddies and friends.

[That, and I can't imagine a more useless activity than chasing a small ball all over the countryside.]

LOL Okay, I'm being overly analytical. It is a good line and as I stated early in the thread, impossible to be all encompassing.

I guess it isn't that indiscriminate for me. If, I'm not friendly with the guy...I have no desire to play golf with him. Business is business, and it must be handled as such. But its more enjoyable to do busines with a friend.

I guess one could just be an indiscriminate poster on a hooker board.

That's much more useful.

Double post - damn did it again... someone spiked my tea.

Welcome back Lady Summerhill. You've been missed.

I was raised in the "hobby" and with the words hobbyist and provider. Never felt this was a hobby for me. More like a natural need being satisfied. Provider seemed appropriate but if I were single and supporting a lady's lifestyle to the extent that she had met friends and perhaps relatives, then provider doesn't seem suitable either. I just don't know what one would say in an introduction beyond, this is my friend, The Lady Summerhill.

pjorourke · 08-13-2010, 12:59 PM

How about "wench"? Does that tickle any of the ladys' fancy?
