Pimp Slapped

Hey Baby, looking for a good time? (If you answered no to this your probably reading the wrong section, but I digress) I'm certain we are all familiar with the concept of prostitution, love it or hate it is the worlds oldest profession (other than the one people had to be able to pay prostitutes of course) but I myself have never had cause to experience first hand until just recently. It was an odd little experience but one I think is worth relating.

It was a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon (thanks mostly to SL time control) and I had just finished attending the SL-newspaper staff meeting and photoshoot. I was just getting ready to find some way to amuse myself when SUDDENLY (Dun Dun Duhhhhh) someone I had never met or heard of before IMs me. Since I had nothing better to do I replied, saying hello and asking if I could help him, thinking maybe he wanted to give me a lead for a story. (He didn't really, but he gave one to me anyway you might say.)He was rather straight to the point, asking me how much it would cost to let him watch me having sex with a horse. (In SL obviously. :p)

Well needless to say I was rather taken aback. But I didn't turn him down right away, I asked a few questions and then thought to myself “You know this would be a great opportunity for my pet” and so about 5 minutes later I was standing in a street, surrounded by bestiality toys, a man I've never met standing in front of me and Triak Lynagh (My toy and now Whore for Hire. And as a side note its not often I get people ASKING to be identified by name is these types of stories.) leashed and collared next to me.

After a very quick discussion with the man on what he actually wanted I took my payment (I probably undercharged him but its not like there is some sort of “Prostitute collage” I can learn this stuff at... is there?) and ordered Triak to get it on with a centaur while I myself turned to an actual horse. Ten minutes later he said goodbye and left us. Leaving myself with the easiest lindens I ever made, Triak completely humiliated (Always a good thing in my books) and my good friend Christina momentarily horrified when I told her about it. (Which was amusing.)

Now I know some people are going to think I let myself get taken advantage of, but honestly, I don't feel that way. To me what I did has little difference from any other paid performance, from juggling to DJing. I performed, I made someone feel good, and I got paid, that was really all there was to it. Well that and the fact that Triak Lynagh has been asking me to whore her out for my own benifit for weeks now. (And really, how can I say no to being a Pimp?) So all in all I can't help but feel like if anyone was being taken advantage of it was him, not myself. Though really I dont feel like either of us were used to advantage. All three of us got something we wanted, case closed.

That said I'm going to steadfastly refuse to make any comments about prostitution in general at this juncture, but the one experience I had in SL I would say I would quiet eagerly do again. (And I would even more eagerly order Triak to do it again too. ^_^)
