74. so you missed that quote?
The hooker who was patronized by Eliot Spitzer said pretty much the same about him and didn't want to see him again either. For some reason she must have changed her mind later.

Those who condemn prostitution and don't want it to be legal usually take for granted that such contacts are abusive. But that is another discussion. The same hooker who said she didn't want to see Spitzer again due to his "want-to-get-his-money's-worth" attitude also says in the same documentary it is ridiculous to claim these high-priced services are abusive for the women who engage in them.

So, it seems possible to defend prostitution and at the same time not to like every aspect of it all the time. Just as I might put up with an angry partner, even if I don't really like the attitude and even if she gets rough at times. Shades of grey matter, and they do exist.
