I've felt the same - for me there has always seemed something more masculine about a pimp - I was besotted with one at the age of 19 and never really grew out of that idea. But it need not necessarily be an exploitative, violent relationship in my view - you can try to come to an agreement, set boundaries - although it is hard as men do tend to change the rules as and when they feel. <br /><br />I know the lost and alone feeling - too well. A man who shows you some brightness, makes the future look better, gives you some hope can keep you going, if anything women who work for pimps tend to make more money. It really aint something I would advise for or against - up to you whether or not you want him in your life. But it depends - if he is your lover as well as agent/manager whatever. If so it can give you more power in a sense, but in some ways not. See what I've written on my blog on the subject - such relationships are often more intense and complicated than people assume - i.e men as predators/exploiters, women as victims. Also the song from the musical 'Oliver' - 'As Long as He Needs me' and the Billie Holiday song (she was a sex worker once) 'My Man' sums it up. <br /><br />A clever pimp does not have to use violence - witholding of affection, sex, drugs, whatever, can be enough to make you get his money. When I do this kind of work, especially on the street and all, I find it hard to be without a man in my life.....but not many 'normal' men are really going to like what I do for a living - so to give whoever it is a share maybe is my way of making it up to whoever it is, as nobody forces me....I do as I will. People don't get it - a friend of mine from a sheltered background said that my man 'makes' me work, or 'lets' me. Both attitudes were insulting to me - because for one I am independent enough not to let any man 'make' me do anything I will not do anyway - secondly I do what I want - not up to any man to 'let' me or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
