Opinion of Mongers/Mongering

[Sopranos Republican]

[Bacon King]

I don't dislike mongers, I just think they have a condition.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It depends on what they monger.

[Paul Kemp]

Vile.

[Fritz]

WTF is a monger?

[Ban my account ffs!]

WTF is a monger?

A whoremonger.  One who enjoys whores and adapts their entire life to them.

Oh, like opebo then.  FF.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I guarantee most of the condemners here have at least one friend/know someone who has hired a prostitute before (keep in mind "has hired a prostitute before" does not mean "is currently doing so", "has hired prostitutes multiple times and/or on a regular basis" or "has admitted to it".)

I have a problem with the accompanying misogyny.  That's all.  People like Opebo aren't f**king women... they're f**king objects... things worth their derision.

That's unhealthy no matter your opinion of prostitution.

Ironmongers?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

(normal). My father, for instance, is a cheesemonger.

'Mongers' in the sense meant in this thread are despicable.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I thought this thread is about monglers.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I thought this thread is about monglers.

Or Mongolians

I don't think that you can judge a whole class of people like that. Yes, Genghis Khan and his successors inflicted terrible suffering, but that is no reflection on the Mongol people today.

No, that makes no sense - do you 'deride' your barber?  Your computer repairman?  I don't get how purchasing a service from someone is 'deriding' or 'objectifying' that person.

I can certainly tell you that in my case I have many regulars that I know quite well, and am very fond of.  Its quite interesting.  I'll give you one example: 

I have one very favorite regular I've known about 8-9 years, who I hadn't seen much lately, and we renewed our acquaintance very pleasantly a few weeks ago.  She has since moved mostly out of the business and taken up her other vocation (seller of illegal drugs) in a more fully realized way.  She showed me 50-75 missed calls on each of her two phones from her sleeping-time (during the day), and mentioned that she isn't particularly afraid of the cops anymore as she's now (finally) graduated to a proper mafia with good connections - she used to go to jail sometimes for a month or so when she was more 'on her own'.

She said she clears at least 2,000 baht/day after all kickbacks, bribes, and so forth are accounted for, but still likes to turn a trick with old favorite regulars now and again - what makes her enthusiasm for sex believable as the fact that she drove 15 minutes to meet me for a 500 baht payment, when she had thousands in her pocketbook (she showed me her bankroll and her little crystals).

The weirdest thing about the mongering scene is that its as much about the rebellion/freedom/fun of the providers as it is of the customers, guys.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ironmongers?

There aren't many proper ones around these days, alas.

Sorry Opebo.  I was going by the sh**tstorm of posts that were being thrown at me from other sites you had posted to.

I still don't see it as "purchasing a service"... you're paying someone to f**k you.  There's just something inherently different about that, imho.

But I take the same stance on this issue that I do with abortion and the meat I buy from the grocery store.  If I had to see the whole process, I'd probably be a pro-life vegan prude... but I don't ahve to see the whole process.

As long as you're doing this voluntarily with women who are of age and also doing so voluntarily... I have no problem with it.  I wouldn't do it myself... but you probably wouldn't spike your Tuna Helper with Danish blue cheese either... to each their own.

[Хahar 🤔]

I feel like "monger" is the closest native English equivalent to the wonderfully versatile Indian word "wallah", although it's not quite the same thing.

Actually that sounds fantastic!

Yeah it really means 'seller'.. so in the context in which it is used here it seems inaccurate.
