[Historic NY]

[Loonman]

5. Say .................

I sense a good career move here .............

[mattclearing]

6. What a misleading headline.

The article said one prostitute is 70. Now they all are expected to work to that age?

I hate shoddy journalism.

[soothsayer]

7. well, mebbe when they're 'down under' you, you can't really

tell the difference

[JVS]

8. Do they take the dentures out first?

13. Watch HBO, America Undercover

They did a series on prostitutes in Jersey I think, one of them didn't have natural teeth and the johns loved her. They called her "The Schoolteacher" :)

[electropop]

bush in the bush.

And not that Bush.

Story says the older ones go out into rural areas ("the bush") to avoid younger competition in the cities. Both rural clients and older prostitutes tend to make companionship a part of the deal.

9. that's hot.

[ohio_liberal]

10. If it's their choice, no problems here

Some people are attracted to older women and men or perhaps a client is looking for someone in his/her own age group. Nothing wrong with it, as long as it remains a personal choice.

11. You plan on forgoing sex after you turn 60?

Yeah, thought not...

[Jack_Dawson]

14. With the general public? Hopefully.

But I guess you never know til you get there...

:shrug:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

15. heh heh heh

Kids.

Not a clue.

Well, honestly, neither did I when I was a kid.

Wouldn't trade it for the world, I must say. Older really IS better.

Ssssssssssssssssh.

I don't want to spoil the surprise.

[Hardrada]

24. I have not foresworn sensual pleasures

and am 61. One should be hot before one is forever NOT!

[Cleita]

12. Don't they have social security in Australia?

Really. Even brood mares, eventually get put out to pasture and retirement.

[Ezlivin]

16. Do they give Senor Discounts?

I wonder if the Aussie's "Medicare" would cover this as therapy?

Just a little Veg-a-Mite will do ya.

[pitohui]

17. it said one woman said she knew a whore who was 70

no evidence was offered that even one actual whore was working at age 70, it was strictly some other whore saying oh yeah i know lots of older whores than me

the oldest documented was 58, i'm sorry, sports fans, there is a big difference between 58 and 70 when it comes to elasticity and lubricity of...oh crap, never mind, no sex threads

but the article is totally bogus

[LisaM]

18. By that logic, men should quit having sex in their 60s and 70s too

what's your point?

[pitohui]

22. if not for viagra most would quit long before that EOM

.

[Burning Water]

19. Oh, gross!! n/t

[asjr]

20. That would never work for me. My plumbing rusted

several years ago and my John would contract tetanus.

[Jack_Dawson]

21. That falls under...

T

M

I

:toast:

[Hardrada]

23. We have whores working later in life in the US!

How old is LIEberman? How old is McCain? Or did you just mean women whores like some of the venerable MSM newsladies?

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

25. Well senior citizens down under do like pokies

(Christ, that's a bad pun. Sorry.)

[MissMillie]

26. Ya know, my mom is in her 70s and she looks good

not that I think she should whore herself out or anything....

[Taverner]

27. Hey - its the last bastion of true capitalism

If the market supports 70 year old prostitutes, then it is not a bad choice...
