    What's in a name?

    Why should “scholarly” debate be out of place on an escort review board? What better place to have it? After all, the program of your typical Athenian symposium went something like this: Up-close-and-personal attentions given to bent-over adolescent boys, followed by food (fish) and...

    What's in a name?

    Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. The politician Alphonso Gagonit is really a prostitute because he doles out favours and generally ignores his principles so he can continue to get reelected. His wife Idolatra Quim is his equal because she makes their Saturday evening coupling conditional...

    What's in a name?

    Dear Dr Louis Once again I must decline your invitation. With your wit and depth, you are by far the best person for the position. You do it proud. Were a minor lectureship in Rhetoric to become available, I might be coaxed into filling it until you found someone with the appropriate...

    What's in a name?

    Dear Dr Louis As always, I find your gloss on this subject quite insightful. I wonder, though, whether there is not a danger here of creating a false dichotomy (SP vs. spouse) based on a single commonality (sex). It seems to me that each belongs to his or her own realm and not situated at...

    What's in a name?

    Juliana Yes I do think that “prostitute” can be problematized. Indeed, it has been many times over. There is, on the one hand, the field of application of the term, as you point out. We commonly use the expression “to prostitute oneself” in a variety of contexts which have little to do...

    Agreed Dr Louis I am flattered that you would consider me for this professorship. However, my interests are far too eclectic, and besides, you do a splendid job of it. Indeed, I would like to nominate you for the first ever MERB distinguished Chair in Philology and Hobbyism. Hopefully, the...

    What's in a name?

    Guppification, cod fishing and policing Dear Dr Louis While I have the utmost respect for your obvious erudition and etymological prowess, not to mention your affinities with the fountainhead of occidental thought (i.e., classical Greece, in particular Athenian genius), there is, it seems...

    What's in a name?

    Ganks, gixies, vegetarians, & cunny warrens In my continuing search for the origins of the word hobbyist and related terminology, I stumbled across this list: http://www.amatory-ink.co.uk/thesaurus/prostitution.htm, which is way too long to reproduce here. Interstingly enough, there is a...

    What's in a name?

    Either that or the demand side of the equation has exploded, as was the case in the twilight days of the pan-Hellenistic empire when even philosophers and kings were so ravenous that companions and flute girls led them around by the nose (or other appendage): ``Apart from the anchovy sisters...

    What's in a name?

    Does anyone know where and when the expression “hobbyist” originated? The most I could find out after what was an admittedly cursory Internet search was the following: A john (U.S.) or a punter (U.K.) is a male client of a prostitute, particularly in the case of street prostitution. Although...

    Why no bbbj for me?

    Correction Eagerbeaver Yes I know. I was just about to make the correction, but you got there first. So let ask the question again: And why, Anik, would you choose head over intercourse?

    Escorts with boyfriends/husbands

    I recently had an experience with an SP who talked quite openly about her boyfriend. Indeed, at one point, after the session, she spoke with him on the phone. I found that it actually enhanced the quality of the encounter and the way I felt about her. We had what I would certainly qualify as a...
