Is it soliciting sex for money though? It’s more of a prize for being seductive, since you win just before he decides to break his celibacy. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] And, as i suggested earlier, you’re being morally self-righteous about it. You can pretend that your initial comment was merely a definitional one, with no moral opprobrium attached, but those of us who can read know better. You’re perfectly entitled to your moral self-righteousness, as i said earlier. Just don’t expect everyone else to agree with it. [/QUOTE] So ho isn’t slang for whore? 😕 ---

[QUOTE=KidScruffy] So ho isn’t slang for whore? 😕 [/QUOTE] It is. And to some folks, the word “whore” has a fairly negative connotation. Hence, ho is derogatory. However, it sounds as if there are some who think that trading sex for money is not in and of itself a negative thing… hence the dialog there. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] Even if it is, isn’t that legal in Nevada? [/QUOTE] As others have said, not in Clark County.

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] Wait - so because I give sex away for free instead of charging for it, that makes me morally self-righteous? [/QUOTE] I demand proof. I think mhendo is objecting to your statement that you wouldn’t do it, because you’re not a ho. If there is no negative connotation to sex for money, than it would be like you saying, “I won’t unclog your toilet for $100,000, because I’m not a plumber.” Or, are you saying you wouldn’t unplug a toilet for $100,000? :dubious: ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] Wait - so because I give sex away for free instead of charging for it, that makes me morally self-righteous? Uh, ok. If you say so. [/QUOTE] **alice\_in\_wonderland** , you probably don’t know who I am, but I usually enjoy your posts and I almost always agree with what you have to say. But, in this case, you _did_ sound like you were jumping on the soap box a little bit. Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but I think that’s the way **mhendo** took it as well. For me, it was the “Uh, I’m not sure that legality is the ONLY issue here…” that changed it from stating your opinion to judging others, and took it into preachy territory. (And actually, using “uh” three times in a row…) Back to the OP, it almost sounds like this guy is trying to play into the human condition of wanting to rise up to a challenge. I mean, if he’s got the money to blow, what’s to stop him from being like, “Yeah, I challenge you to seduce me… Just go ahead and try.” and then just take his pick from the many beautiful women who will surely think of it as a game? Sounds fishy to me… and I wish I’d thought of it first. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] Interesting. What happens, i wonder, if there’s a sudden real estate boom in one of the counties that has brothels, and the population expands over 400,000. [/QUOTE] Couple possibilities: 1. The statute says that licenses can’t be “granted” if the population is over 400,000. So the existing brothels could claim they were grandfathered. 2. Statute gets amended. 3. Brothel moves to the next county with a population less than 400,000 that is brothel-friendly. They’re no worse off than if the county decided to ban prostitution. The Nevada Supreme Court held they could do that: [http://www.nevadaindex.com/kuban.pdf](http://www.nevadaindex.com/kuban.pdf) ---

Even the most high-priced call girl is going to be a far sight cheaper than $100,000, and I’m sure he can have his pick of women who just want to get with a rich guy for free. I think the $100,000 is supposed to be motivation for him to maintain his celibacy – he now knows it will make the papers if he cracks, and cost him a chunk of cash at the same time. Sure, it’s dumb, but if you’re looking for attention, it’s not a bad way to go about it. ---

[/QUOTE] You’re right. I was judging the disgusting ponce that put out a “Call to women in bad circumstances to try to fuck me for money.” as a disgusting wind bag. Honestly, if he was really taking a vow of chastity he would just not screw anybody. By advertising it he’s begging women to try to come on to him to get the money. I think he’s both pathetic and sad. Furthermore, of you’re a guy or a gal that has sex for money, you are a ho. I personally have no problem with that, whatsoever. That just doesn’t happen to be my MO. ---
