You're not one of the slaves, and I thought one reason you liked the place was that you didn't have to pay as much.
Well, compared to the price of other things, and normal salaries, working girls are much more expensive here - say $35 baht for a high-quality 1-3 hours, compared to a normal working-class wage of about $10/day. In the US you'd pay $200 for the same service, and a normal working class wage is nearly $100/day.
Heheh, you mean I should rise up against the ladies I pay out loads of money to each month?
So, when you're paying people for their work they're exploiting you but in all other instances when someone gets paid it's the people getting paid who are exploited?
It was a joke, buddy. The serious implication is, of course, that in terms of repeat visits this kind of thing becomes a rather personal relationship.. Just like the case of gold-digging wives in the US, it isn't always so clear who is exploiting who or who has the 'power'.
But do you do repeat visists with all of them? I'm sure that's only a part of the industry.
Regardless, it's not obvious to me that the personal nature is exclusive to the sex industry, nor that it necessarily implies that you're being exploited. I just find it amusing how your standard principle suddenly reverses so conveniently when it comes to your own life.
