So maybe I'm spinning the story just a little bit, but...when money changes hands over a sexual encounter, what would you rather call it?

From that viewpoint, every woman who benefits financially from a man with whom she has sex is a hooker. Given our social/financial system, you are effectively calling all heterosexual women prostitutes.

Joan F., I keep coming back to your comment. Thank you for seeing straight to the heart of it.

Not quite all, nearly all

only if you say so...my comments are all in relation to two discrete individuals and one discrete encounter and it's sequelae.

And more than one person here is suggesting you might try to clean the smudges from your glasses so that you may see more clearly

I'm going to walk away before sharing my opinion of your 'thinking cap'.

you're no fun at all...do you think that going public about the encounter, which she did more than once, was motivated by something other than the expectation of financial gain? Tfg's usual move against someone he wants to intimidate would be to slap a lawsuit on them, but that doesn't result in silence; rather it generates more news and publicity. The one party is in it for the money, the other wants it to be a clandestine event. It sounds a lot like prostitution to me, just poorly executed on the part of both parties

Nathan -why is this turning into a criticism of this woman - when the twit at the center of this is the guilty party. Not to jump on the bandwagon, but somehow (and I've been around a LONG time) the woman seems to end up as the person to blame. Sort of like the prostitute who is charged & not the "johns"? Supply and Demand, Nathan!

You are way too time consuming and wrong. Trump promised to have her appear on The Apprentice. And...the dealmaker = $$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
