When I was a hustler, ‘pimp’ was a well-intentioned ‘compliment’ applied to me that I never really appreciated. My business was narcotics. Yeah, I knew pimps. I knew hit-men. I knew money-laundering embezzlers. But all I did was grow and distribute an illegal flora, had little to do with any other kind of syndicated vice, and viewed the relationships I had with those types as necessary evils at best. I can’t speak for all drug dealers, however, there are many who are very anti-prostitution; even though they are civil libertarians, they still consider the sex industry evil, and refuse to contribute to that injustice. In other words, the sex trade and the drug trade are not necessarily tied together.

The best hustlers want nothing more than to legitimize their trade, which is relatively harmless in and of itself, and that means keeping their contact with the rest of the criminal underworld down to a bare minimum, because we don’t want to be lumped in with that lot. Also, unless you want beef with the law, the upper class, and other gangsters, it’s in your best interest to be a good example, don’t step on anyone’s toes, and keep your nose clean. Moreso even than a person of privileged background, the kind of spoiled brat who is your constant customer. They get to have fun and go buck with their parents’ money, but you have to keep your head down to make yours. That’s the way the socio-economic class system works, and lowly career black-market criminals, no matter how successful, will never be on the winning end of that.

So I always resented this label of ‘pimp’ that some people mistakenly applied to me, maybe because they saw me dressed to go out, or with a few women, none of whom I was actually sleeping with, as they were merely platonic companions. Pimps are the kinds of figures that get idolized by naive, over-privileged suburban dude-bros who don’t really understand the ugly nature of pimping and prostitution. Their fraternities throw these stupid ‘Pimp and Ho’ costume parties, if a guy is known to be especially lucky with the ladies, they call him a ‘pimp’, etc…

But the reality is, pimps are terrible people who get your little sister strung out on meth, so they can peddle her ass to all your homeboys, and anyone else who needs an easy lay. The only people who idolize pimps are bourgeois poseurs who have never actually met a real pimp in their entire life. For everyone else, to call them a pimp might as well be to call them a slave-driving rape-enabler. In other words, unless you think like a total d-bag, it’s not really a compliment to call someone that.

Then there are the lassiez-faire libertarians who think that prostitution should be legalized, as they believe it to be a ‘victimless crime’. Now, as someone who is intimately familiar with the criminal underworld, I can tell you that p

There are many who say that, just like the Drug War, the illegality of the sex trade is what causes all the problems with it, and not the trade itself. While I follow their reasoning when it comes to prohibition of narcotics, I draw the line at the sex trade.

One proponent of legal prostitution told me that prostitution prevents rape. Other people think that prostitution is rape. I mean, it’s forced sex that happens because of the coercion of capitalism, and most of the money earned goes to the landlord, the electric company, the grocer, the department store, the pimp, the drug dealer, etc… Which means that the hos are just doing what they have to do to pay bills, often struggling to cover the costs of an exorbitant standard of living, and never get any real money. One has to imagine that, in a socialized society, where everyone is materially equal, their basic needs including education taken care of, no one would ever feel materially pressured to have sex with people they weren’t actually attracted to or in love with. But then the old fat rich guys who run the world would never get laid, and they ain’t havin’ that.

Still other people think that marriage is prostitution, and in some cases, I agree. There are third world countries where 45-year-old Western males can buy the virgin marriage of indigenous third world teen girls, and in that case I think the ‘marriage is prostitution’ people are right. Or in the case of many mixed-class American marriages. Most of Donald Trump’s marriages to Eastern European immigrant sex-slaves probably count, on some level, as prostitution.

When I talk about how prostitution is wrong, a lot of guys disagree, and I have to explain it to them in a way that appeals to their self-interest:

Lying whores talk shit, and naive girls believe them.

The definition of a chauvinistic relationship is when one or both parties involved believe that they are getting the better of the other. In addition to describing many dating relationships, especially those that resemble bullfights, where the woman waves her red flag, and the man charges through it, only to find she was merely playing a game with him, this also describes prostitution perfectly. The whore believes she is getting better of her johns because they are paying her to engage in an activity that most would consider recreational. The patron believes he is getting the best of women because he is using his financial privilege to bypass the social customs normally required to get laid. But it’s pure chauvinism whether outright prostitution or merely a superficial relationship based on game rather than real compatibility. Brass tacks of the matter is: when you get older, these kinds of cheap flings have no appeal.

Some people say that prostitution is for someone who “can’t afford” a long-term relationship, as if marriage were a class privilege. The truth is that a serious relationship is usually a financial boon for both people involved… What most people can’t afford is to fuck around with a bunch of gold-digging, back-stabbing, nasty hos. To have that shit in your background and reputation is the kind of baggage that will opportunity-cost you a healthy marriage in the future.

Bottom line: Prostitution exploits both men and women. Prostitutes ruin their own lives, and frequently ruin the lives of their patrons as well. All so the gears of capitalism can be lubricated with sexual coercion.

Finally, I have to note that the only real experience I have with these types of women is from living in a ‘non-confrontational’, ‘non-judgmental’ community… No one ever corrects anyone, and that’s why they are perpetually wrong together, in all of their various ways. So there is a social liberal component to this as well, and it’s all these brainwashed feminists who refuse to call a whore a whore, or acknowledge that prostitution in all its forms is a serious social problem. And because of communities like that, innocent men get suckered sometimes. Which is exactly why they need to be warned. This isn’t a problem that should be Panglossed over.
