Well would you? I wouldn’t but she’s getting filthy rich doing so…was a devout Christian for 40 yrs, then met a 27year old rugby player at age 57…

I am not in the live and let live camp for prostitution. Men who use sex workers figure highly in the violence/domestic violence figures.
It is abuse of generally vulnerable women and vulnerable gay men. Those few women who are in it 'voluntarily' and cheer it on are causing harm to the women who have no choice

Thanks Galaxy. I’m 100 percent with you on this
Normalising sex work needs challenging every time

Apparently she’s 70 though - and looks older. Haven’t you looked at the link and the photo? She’s nothing like any of the women you mention.

Kamj Thu 06-Feb-25 15:54:15

I would if I was that way inclined, wouldn't want charging lol
57 is no age, davina M, Amanda H, Lorraine K, Carol V all that age or older and lots of men pine over them

On This Morning today (apparently) they will be interviewing a 72 year old man.

Previously a monk (great back story) he is now a highly paid escort who regularly entertains 20- something women.

I didn’t see this monk- what time was his interview?

Sorry Dickens I wasnt having a go at you, I just nicked your phrase to express my position smile

Apparently the phrase was first mentioned in 1622 by one Gerard de Malynes - in a book about trade-law and quoted the Dutch proverb "leuen ende laeten leuven". (Yeah, I just looked it up!)

But, in the context we're talking about it's usually directed at those who are critical of another's life style / choices. The added ryder - 'as long as they are not harming anyone' is the rub though.

In the wider context, being freely available to be purchased for sex (which I assume this woman is) through choice may not harm her - nor directly her male buyers... but what's the subliminal message being given to men? And, what about the wives and partners of her clients, they certainly are not all single.

As Indigo8 says above, There is an established link between men who use prostitutes and men who violate women.

I'm not a prude. If people freely want to engage in sex with each other because that's their equal choice in the matter, it doesn't make me clutch my pearls, but buying a woman's (or vulnerable male's) body, sinks my spirits. And this woman is - for all her jollity and joie de vivre - just perpetuating the woman-for-sale trading.

Another reason why I don't watch This Morning. It's a bit off putting when you're eating your porridge.

Dickens When violence against women is on the up, I don't think it is possible to be "taking it all too seriously".

... point taken - which is why I'm equivocal about live-and-let-live.

The fact that women's bodies (it is I think mostly women) can be "purchased" just cements the inequality between the sexes and gives a green light to misogynists.

But maybe I'm taking it all too seriously, I don't know.

live and let live should be!

Dickens Thu 06-Feb-25 10:08:08

Basically then, she's just an older sex-worker catering for one of the numerous fetishes?

I'm in the live-and-live-camp I guess.

My only reserves are that I have an instinctive dislike of prurient 'click-bait' type TV interviews and media articles, and am somewhat always slightly disturbed by the imbalance of power in sex-for-money transactions.

I'm sure you can still have fun whilst working, but he (or she) who pays the piper calls the tune, and in this largely unregulated industry, you don't ever quite know what the demands might be - nor the personal hygiene habits / health conditions of the individual making them.

She's having fun and making good money. Go for it, girl.

I’m not saying that… the lady calls herself a granny escort…

What a weird comment, I definitely do not agree, for some it can be an alternative way to have intimacy

What’s weird about the above comment ?

Busty Granny is her GILF name which I’ve just learned by watching the Olivia something program.. ugh had to switch her off as she started her online performance for a customer..this is not intimacy IMO But you can tell yourself it is …

Apologies. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.
But you’re right, saying it’s perverted is probably a bit much. I just don’t know many 30 year old men who’d want sex with a 55 year old woman. Unless it’s purely a one nighter.
Wasn’t there a film about this sort of thing years ago with Dustin Hoffman?

Yes, the Graduate with Anne Bancroft..

Thepanaramawoman Wed 05-Feb-25 21:31:55

I have watched a clip of the interview. It doesn’t show all of it but from what I saw I wasn’t sure if she was mainly doing it for the money, the physical closeness or what. I enjoy a loving, relationship with a retired man of similar age to me, and I have a job I enjoy even though it doesn’t pay very much so no there would be no call for me to be a granny escort. I do believe in live and let live however and would like to think I wouldn’t judge her.

Marydoll Wed 05-Feb-25 20:39:45

The lady looks like my next door neighbour, who happens to be my son's MIL.

NonGrannyMoll Wed 05-Feb-25 19:54:26

Horses for courses. If she likes it (and so do the lads), fair enough. Wouldn't suit me. I prefer men who can hold a coherent adult conversation after the essential three minutes. grin

Marydoll Wed 05-Feb-25 19:21:02

So many attractive women here on GN.😉
Sadly, I am not one of them🤣

However, I was once popositioned by an older gentleman, in an expensive fur coat and wearing a cossack like fur hat, on a Berlin underground station platform. He was obviously wealthy.
The line had been closed unexpectedly and he offered to accompany me back to the city centre.
He did not realise that DH was further down the platform.🤣
I was quite flattered!

Oh dear Kandinsky! A man under 35 wanting sex with a woman in her 50s is not a pervert! I will have you know I was very attractive in my 50s (and beyond), though I have never been promiscuous and certainly wouldn’t have been interested in a much younger man.

Allsorts, I clicked on the link too and found it interesting to learn more about her. Dodgy and vile it wasn’t. Quite eye-opening and entertaining! (And btw I have never seen porn and certainly wouldn’t wish to.)

Hear, hear! I was about to reply to Kandinsky in similar vein. What a ridiculous notion that it's a perversion for a young man to find an older woman attractive! I too was very attractive right into my late 50s and was often propositioned by younger men. In fact, most of my life younger men have been attracted to me and I didn't turn them all down! People are different and as long as no-one gets hurt, they should be allowed to live their lives as they please, without narrow-minded and unacceptable judgements like Kandinsky's.

Maybe she doesn't fancy joining the women's institute.

I expect she stays flexible, gets company, and boosts her pension.

No problem paying her bills,I bet. smile

..or staying warm grin
