this is my response to an article written by some liberal douchebags who think that all sg models are prostitutes. have at it

vineeta,
i have held off posting until i read the entire thread(took about an hour), and i finally came to the conclusion that you don't have any semblance of reasoning power. i am not flaming you, i don't even know you, so this is not a personal attack.
#1) the fact is that a prostitute is paid for sexual acts IN THE COMPANY OF THEIR CLIENT. end of story. a person who is paid for sex in the 3rd degree, be it telephone call girls, webcam girls, or any other similar example, is not engaging in prostitution. again, maybe if i reinforce it, it will make more sense. prostitution is a tactile enterprise. without physical conduct, it disintegrates into a number of other lesser divisions of sex-work.
2)even strippers are not prostitutes UNLESS they have sex with their clients! prostitution=SEXUAL INTERCOURSE!! there is no hazy idea of what prostitution is. someone could hire a girl to strip at a party. that does not make her a prostitute, or whore as you like to call them. the definitions you use for pornography are out-dated and long-since updated. your "whore-viewing" definition is ridiculous.
3)suicidegirls are NOT prostitutes. they do not engage in sexual acts, there is NO penetration, there is no sexual content on the entire site! so please, spare us the bullshit. anyone who calls nude photography "prostitution" or "whore-viewing" is closed-minded and needs to crawl out from under their rock. i highly doubt you say the same for nude paintings. these girls are not told to do anything, forced to do anything, and they most certainly do not use "fuck-me faces". that is an insult to the models, and you should know better. my best friend, whom i have known for close to ten years, wants to be a model. for a long time, she was overweight, and felt terrible about herself. over the past 2 years, she has done so much to lose weight, and now she looks great and FEELS great about herself. she is not a prostitute, a whore, a slut, or any other derogatory word you can think of. she wants to do it as a way to express herself, and nothing more. she has applied, yet has not had a photoset accepted to date. i take offense to your generalizations. she is quite possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and it makes me sad to think that because she poses nude for a camera, she is relegated to the lowest levels of human existence.
so, vineeta, think about this, and then say with a straight face that i am wrong in any way. if you do, and it is a lucid, well thought out, justified answer, then i concede. but i stand by my stance that the models on sg are not sex-workers, as there is no sex involved. therefore, they cannot be in any way, shape or form, prostitutes. feel free to check out my page, and maybe you will see that i am not "vapid" or a "whore-viewer". i am a photographer, and i find tasteful nude photography to be beautiful, and yes, i find it to be arousing. if you do not, then that is your choice. however, most of my favorite photographs are non-nude selections from the various sets. nudity is not what makes this site unique. it is the girls themselves, and the sense of community among those for whom the classical definition of mainstream is not so mainstream at all.
sincerely,
alex
