Could someone buy your love (companionship)?

[Kimberly]

Was offered. Didn't do it, this guy from a few towns over from me (a family friend none-the-less too!) asked me to do a similar arrangement for him. I could NEVER see myself doing that, but I can see why it is attractive for some people. 100,000 dollars just to live there? Plus if he has is own career...

I don't think it would technically be prostitution. Lots of mistresses are supported by their married lovers. They aren't getting arrested left and right.

If he is paid by the hour or by the activity, that might raise legal flags. But offering to support someone in exchange for companionship...happens all the time.

In the scenario laid out by questioner, the woman is having a lawyer draw up the paperwork; from which we can infer that the lawyer doesn't think this arrangement is illegal.

Would I do it? I don't know. That's one of the situations I'd have to be in to know what I would do.

I can't honestly say that I think it is a bad thing for someone else to do, either.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that this situation is NOT illegal.

What we have is a person making a living off his personality and to a certain extent - his body. Which many celebrities and professional athletes, and models, do.

On other issues, I support a person's right to do as they choose with their own body (being pro-choice, DNR orders, living wills). My reasoning on those issues is that indeed; our bodies are ours to control - even if we choose to "sell" them to somebody else.

Before someone asks - yes, I would favor the decriminalization of prostitution.

Needs could be social, sexual and romantic needs. (This according to my friend, who will likely do it)

 

[mickeyfan2]

WOW you have such a colorful set of friends. Just like C and I.

did someone mention Johnny Depp?????????

 

[tmt martins]

Yea why not we're all either paying for it or being paid 1 way or another.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Aha! So, you're THAT kind of a gal, eh??

Shhhh, don't tell my husband!

Speaking of Windex, wasn't it the Greek Wedding movie where the parents used Windex for everything? Well, maybe not *everything*, but you know what I mean.

If he would be obligated for sexual intimacy, it seems that his personal freedom would be restricted in that he would be obligated to perform sexually for another person. If it is for repairs and trips and driving... then it is a job.

 

[kasar]

Personally, no. But consentual adults can do whatever they want.

Hi,

Being paid $100K by a wealthy WINDOW to look out her may be kind of boring. At 42, short and fat, I'd never get such an offer.

Sounds like he's being paid to be a gigolo.

It's OK with me if it's OK with him. Seems kind of tawdry in some way though.

Wonder if his first name is Deuce???

 

[AdventurerKat]

Well, now if it was a "wealthy" window, maybe. But since its a "weathy" window, I just don't know.

Before I answer, can you define the word "weathy" for me? I know what a "wreathy" window would be, but weathy, I can't seem to find it in my Webster's.

And most men would think this is a problem why? Just kidding, please don't bash me, guys!

Yep. Loved that movie!!

Isn't this what Jerry Hall was trying to do in her reality show on MTV/VH1? What was it called... Kept I think. She was looking for a younger man to basically do the same thing - be at her beck and call, escort her out, live with her, be paid, etc. I have no idea of sex was supposed to be implied as part of the package deal but of course they wouldn't have put any mention of that on TV anyway even if it was.
