I was in the Phillippines. For about 30 dollars, you could have a girl exclusively to yourself, who would cook for you, do your laundry, have sex with you. It would pay her rent for the month too. However, all it took was a small detour off Magsaysay Drive in the town of Olongapo, and see the abject poverty these people lived in. It was mixed emotions, because using their bodies, the women were able to get some education, and have food to eat. But I also couldn't help but think I would be doing nothing more than taking advantage of, and using economic exploitation for my own selfish desires. After a few nights of playing smiles and "basket fucks", and basically using these women, I had a serious talk with my conscience, because I felt so dirty. This was a way different scenario of prostitution compared to the UCLA student who was enjoying making extra spending money for college that I lost my virginity to. I quit "dating" the locals, and instead went chasing after the Navy women on base at Subic Bay. I have no problem with women using their bodies as they see fit for economic gain, but in this instance, these women were also hoping to permanently be taken out of this struggle, and they always hoped the next Sailor or Marine would be that person. With that in mind, I could no longer take advantage of exploiting them, even though for many that was their only chance to survive. Instead, I would just enjoy the bars, and just tip generously, without asking for anything in return.
Soooooo PBM, have you done anything that made you feel "dirty"?
