I was texting a guy I have been intimate with (both emotionally and physically) and he made a joke about paying a girl for sex. I jokingly replied "You ain't pay me" and he responded with "Yes I did, hotel room, dinner etc..."
Now... my friend was 100% joking with me, and I 100% understood that..but his comment did strike up a few questions and concerns in my mind.
The song above is R. Kelly describing all the things he does for who ,I am assuming, is his chick..and he sounds like a half way decent man. He takes her on trips, takes her shopping, pays for her to get her nails and hair done..and all he wants in return is "some ass." Hmmmm.....
First, let me start off by saying that I think sex should come standard in a relationship, just so there is no confusion on where I stand on that subject. With that being said...let me continue on with my rant.
Where the fuck do men get off thinking that they can just "purchase" sex from us??!??! We are NOT prostitutes out on the street selling our bodies for money!! Or....are we?
How many women would actually give it up to a man that never paid for dinner, or a movie? We are much more likely to have sex with a man that is finically stable and that actually spends money on us. In our minds we ( and society) have convinced ourselves that this is all just a part of dating, but in actuality it is no different than the exchanging of money for goods.
How many of us would marry a man who did not propose with a ring (and an expensive one at that)? The ring is simply a "token" of his love and a symbol of your lifelong commitment to one another... however the ring is also a very expensive gift in which we exchange forever with.
Money and sex go hand in hand, it's just that many times it is over looked. So with this being said...aren't we all just prostituting, just in a much classier way?
