As much as I’m enjoying this thread… I’m not going to lie to you, but I have serious doubts that this person even exists.

Can you possibly think of a more absurd story… hitting on all of the worst case scenarios from someone who appears to have joined the board just to post this tale.

I’m not going to lie to you but I think someone is yanking y’all’s chain.

I know,I know. You’re thinking this story is so crazy it has to be made up. It can’t be real. Well, I’ve got something that’s so crazy and bizarre about this situation that no one could possibly think of making up. Ok, so here goes: The boyfriend and I have totally sat in the car together and waited for her while she went out and did dates with other guys. This has happened multiple times.

I’ll admit to some morbid curiosity about that link, but I have not clicked on it. The curiosity doesn’t outweigh the morbid.

What is she feeling then? Just a constant crave for drugs?

Yeah, but I doubt that your a hooker. Remember she’s going to have multiple guys over the night. She’ll get her’s in due time.

The hooker isn’t looking to get off though. The hooker is just looking to get the guy off as quickly as possible so they can make their money.

Right, but if _you_ love her, care for her, or even just like her, generally that means _you_ would want to pleasure her. Or if you don’t regularly feel that way about the women you’re putting your dick into, that might explain needing to pay to get your rocks off.

Why would you be there in those situations? Would you then take the two of them to their drug dealers? I don’t get it.

**joecool1983,** if you love her, why not help her instead of taking advantage of her station in life and enabling her self-destruction?

I’m not against sex workers who have agency and do what they do by choice, but you are describing a miserable person who is is caught in a cycle that will lead to a premature death.

Here’s an idea: for the cost of paid sex, you could invest in [rehab](http://people.howstuffworks.com/rehab5.htm) for her and eventually she’ll be able to have sex with you because you care for her instead of because you paid her to.

Hey, don’t be such a doubter.

I knew an imaginary hooker once. She called herself Minnie. She had a heart of gold, but she would also cut you with a razor blade just as soon as look at you. She was funny like that. She was one in a million though. She did it to pay her tuition while she studied Herpetology. (Yes, she had herpes, but that’s not what this is - it’s the study of reptiles) Her dream was to one day own and operate a red salamander sanctuary, but that’s another story.

I’m not going to lie. One time I thought we had a date but she made me sit in the car behind a 7-11 while she and her girlfriend went in for a quickie with some guy waiting in the bathroom. They came out later with two big gulps and some nachos. But they walked right past the car and forgot about me. Hah. Can you imagine? Talk about short attention spans. Later I realized I lost my wallet somewhere that night. Those were some of the best days of my life.

I tried to imagine her again several times over the year, but ever since that night her boyfriend’s uncle’s phone goes straight to voicemail and her ad on [streetwalkinjunkies.com](http://streetwalkinjunkies.com) has been permanently removed. I hope she’s out there somewhere, raising those big, fightin’ salamanders, and maybe still thinks of me from time to time. Here’s to you Minnie.

But I digress - my question: OP - when you guys get together for your special evenings has she ever asked you to write a review about her on some of these prostitution review sites like the one you linked to, or does she prefer to remain anonymous? I know a lot of working gals actually want to have reviews online so other Johns know they are legit. You have a gift for the written word and I’m sure your endorsement would go a long way in helping others decide if she could actually be for real, or if it’s just too good to be true. Thanks.

I sure have driven them to their drug dealers to cop. Last year, in September 2012, they briefly moved in with the boyfriend’s sister, in West Virginia for like 2 weeks. Several times in that period she texted/called and had me buy drugs in Baltimore and then I transported the drugs across state lines to West Virginia.

Well, I’ll be damned.

Sometimes the needs of the many do outweigh the needs of the few.
