The term "whorehouse" is so 19th century...

I agree with the sentiment expressed here. The term "whore" does not give the ladies the respect they deserve.

I actually like to think of the ranch as an adult spa, with the ladies being sex therapists that are particularly well qualified to help me with my sexual inadequacies!

I like to think of it as a resort. Get away, relax, and get laid.

Obviously, a term that can offend one person - many others use all the time.  For example, I have a co-worker that constantly uses the term retard or retarded to describe some work that is messed up or even some mistake she might make.  She doesn't call other people by the name as an insult and I don't think she really means any malice by using it. She'll say something like "I'm so retarded."  The term just bugs the hell out of me and I cringe every time I hear say it. Made sitting next to her for a couple years a bit painful  Especially in a workplace - the term just seems totally inappropriate to me.

While I do have a distant relative that is quite disabled in this manner - that really isn't my mindset. It just seems like anyone in this huge office could have a close friend or relative with that type of issue and the term shouldn't be used.

Name calling isn't cool by anyone if you ask me.  I'm sure I do it on rare occasions too - but try not to as best I can.

I just want to apologize if I have offended anyone by using this word. As I'm pretty sure you've all seen me use it.

Not trying to excuse if I've offended anyone, but the reason I use it to describe MYSElF, is because I just honestly have no bones about what I do, and don't feel bad about it one bit, I love adult work, and if someone was to try to tell me I'm bad for what I do I just would laugh at them.
To be honest, it had always been a huge turn on to me personally in the bedroom when guys use the word whore. I love it. So I didn't really think ab it being bad, when I came out to Nevada.

Before I came out here I didn't know anything about legal brothels, cuz I got recruited when I first came, and I just watched a little video online on YouTube and it was people talking about how they didn't care what word was used to describe us, and so when I came here I just adopted use of one of my favorite words guys use in the bedroom with me.

Anyway that's my explanation, but after reading some of you ladies posts and your websites and on the board I feel like Ive probably really offended you, which I never meant to do because I was self describing using it because it just turns me on.... Anyway I'm definitely going to try to steer away from using it frequently just out of respect for my fellow ladies who I really hold in the highest regard.

My sincere apologies ladies if I've made you cringe....

Helga, don't worry you haven't offended anyone. Everything's good.
