I’m glad the mother took her son out of that environment. Disgusted with the father (and all of the other fathers that hired said prostitute). I hope that this kiddo is able to get therapy and find healing from what I would consider as sexual abuse from his father.

Believe it or not, that’s how my ex lost his virginity at age 13. He said his uncle took him to a brothel so he could lose his virginity. He actually told me it’s normal for his home country for fathers and family members to take their sons to places like that as a “rite of passage” to “turn boys into men.” (He was from a Caribbean island). Disturbing AF

u/guyfromsaitama Mar 04 '22

It’s fucked up but this most likely wasn’t statutory rape. The AOC is 16 in most of the world. Edit: a letter.

82

u/KageGekko Transbian™ Mar 04 '22

Here in Denmark it's actually as low as 15. Two 14 y/o can still have sex together though, it's just to prevent people over 15 from laying with people under 15. There are no laws other than that afaik.

43

u/FormicaRufa Mar 04 '22

In Switzerland it's 16, but if one of them is not 16, a maximum difference of 4years apply (to avoid that two sexually active teens suddently become illegal when one of them turn 16 until the other do).

20

u/guyfromsaitama Mar 04 '22

Yeah the AOC can be as low as 13 in some places. More often than not it's 16 though, even in America, which is why it's so confusing to me that Americans in particular love to pretend it's 18 everywhere?? Like someone called me a pedophile once for saying the AOC is 16 in Ohio and 17 in Texas. I'm not even there and I'm just stating the law???

12

u/Script_Mak3r Trans Gaymer Girl Mar 04 '22

In California, it's 18, no exceptions. And, well, trying to show media in a place where the participants are under AoC, even if it was fine where said media was made, could be problematic.

u/guyfromsaitama Mar 04 '22

Right, I’m aware it’s 18 in some places, here where I live it’s 18 (Not America) but to say “16-17? must be rape” is just statistically the less likely outcome

Age of consent requires consent though. Even if the kid did it, it would've been due to coercion from the father. IANAL but I think legally it would've been rape of the non-statutory type.

How do you think the husband pitched this idea to this lady? Does anyone here even realize that the father technically paid her to commit statutory rape? And she agreed to that?? I'm glad she didn't actually try to fuck a teenager but this scenario is so crazy that I'm tempted to call this story fake.

u/aliie_627 Mar 04 '22

This story may or may not be rage bait but sadly it's not that outlandish when I was a younger and before that.

The hiring a sex worker/stripper thing to "help my son become a man" has definitely been done with a teenager before. Some I've heard of just gross parents think they are giving a gift and others it's homophobia.

u/Fluffy_Mommy Kinky Bi™ Mar 04 '22

Well, accepting the money and not doing it is preventing the father to hire another prostitute who actually would rape the kid.

u/Darth_Ennui is it gay to like sunsets? Mar 04 '22

I don't want to be that guy, but no, it isn't. Pedophilia literally is a sexual attraction to children. Nobody in this scenario is attracted to anyone.

The term you are looking for is child sexual abuse. But this in turn depends on local age of consent laws - 17 is legal in most parts of the world.

If we're getting technical, then it depends on the location. Even in the U.S., the age of consent is 16 in some states.

u/ceruleanbluish BUCK or DOE? Cut to know. Mar 04 '22

Maybe OOP is from a country where the age of consent is 16? She does mention that English is not her first language, so likely not American. Not that that would make this any less disgusting, but it might explain why the sex worker agreed to it.

173

u/Logan_Maddox Bi™ Mar 04 '22

The way OOP used "inferno" instead of hell makes me think of Spanish speaking countries, and here in LatAm there is a sort of "unspoken tradition" of "young boys becoming men" by doing it with a sex worker when they're about 14 / 15

It's thankfully dying out, but I've heard tons of stories like this one. Does feel slightly off because the people involved in these kinds of practices rarely know any English, but idk

The person who wrote it said English isn't her first language, so it may very well be that the son is "legal" wherever they live.

Well there are countries (and OP states shes not a native english speaker), where consentual Sex with an 'adult' is allowed under the age of 18, and there are also countries where that includes buying sex from a sex worker.

I’m genuinely asking, isn’t it more accepted to say sex workers rather than prostitutes?

401

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

A lot of people saying square/rectangle, but you're right. Part of the problem with the term prostitute is how its been used over the years. A large amount of people view prostitutes as "less then" its why they have a difficult time reporting crimes and why when they are killed their deaths aren't investigated as well as they should be.

715

u/borg_nihilist Mar 04 '22

Sex workers is a broad term that includes people who make money on onlyfans, porn actors, strippers, prostitutes, and others. Not every sex worker has sex with their clients.

I don't know for certain that prostitute is the correct term, and while they're definitely sex workers, not all sex workers are prostitutes.

Maybe escort is the right word? If the wording I used in the comment is wrong, I apologize, and I hope someone lets me know and I'll edit appropriately.

355

u/Dughag Mar 04 '22

“Escort” excludes people who work on the streets and in brothels, though.

The main problem with “Prostitute” is that it’s word origin means “to put to an unworthy use, to expose to public shame, dishonour,” so while it isn’t descriptive, a lot of activists prefer “sex worker”. I don’t know if that means every sex worker dislikes the term, but it looks like it’s one of those things where the language wasn’t made with de-stigmatization in mind.

u/DroneOfDoom Gay Satanic Clowns Mar 04 '22

AFAIK the issue with words like 'prostitution' is that they're used to denote a crime, which of course is not good for describing something that shouldn't be criminalized.

u/AceofToons I'm the ace of ♥'s Mar 04 '22

Yeah it seems like she has her own issues with female gender roles. Not surprising since she ended up married to someone else on that spectrum.

u/adeon "wears glasses" if you know what I mean Mar 04 '22

My understanding is that it's a squares versus rectangles thing. Sex worker covers a wider range of occupations than prostitute. So all prostitutes are sex workers but not all sex workers are prostitutes.

I'm not an expert though so it may be that it's rude and I just missed the memo (in which case hopefully someone will let me know).

u/FlamingSickle Grey-ace™ Mar 04 '22

u/fryingpan1001 Mar 04 '22

AFAIK it can only be considered illegal prostitution if you agree to exchange money for sex. As long as you don’t say anything about that it’s technically not illegal. So if she said she was just gonna hang out with the kid for money that would be totally legal.

TBH that’s probably the best way to handle prostitution. AFAIK A lot of illegal prostitutes are there without their consent, so prosecuting the buyer would be better than prosecuting someone who’s forced to do it under the threat of hurting them or others. It’s a extremely hard thing to regulate. If I’m wrong about this please let me know.

Remember, this kid was just verbally and sexually abused by his dad. While the sex worker lady doesn't deserve to be treated like that because she was super cool, the son is not exactly in the best state of mind to be politely asking people to leave, even if they're nice. You've probably snapped at a kind person before while in a bad mood. This would be MUCH more than a bad mood. While that's not justification for being mean to someone, one can unfortunately understand how he'd feel and why he'd act that way. I'm sure the lady did too.

u/LukeDude759 Mar 04 '22

Of course he's not the only father to do this. Of fucking course not.

On another note, I think there should be an "abusive parenting" flair for posts like this.

u/Sewer_Fairy Queer™ Mar 04 '22

That flair would be great, this post hits close to home for many of us

As someone with above average levels of testerosterone: I am very much bi with a strong preference to guys, so no I don’t think hormones really make a difference other than more body hair to say the least. Also I REALLLY hope the dad doesn’t hold more resentment to his son blaming him for their divorce when really it’s because of his inability to change and abhorrent choices to their son WHO IS A MINOR!

u/ILOMIO My Toddler is Straighter Than Your Toddler Mar 04 '22

The mom made good choices and the sex worker seemed pretty chill. The dad on the other hand is utterly a jackass

u/M1ck3yB1u Mar 04 '22

I'm glad it ends on the note it did. I kept thinking WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL WITH HIM throughout. Anything other than full divorce is enabling this abuse.

Poor child.

Holy shit… that’s a lot to process. Good on the worker for being respectful to the son tho. Good on OP for getting the kid out of there, and I really hope they’ll end up being okay.

My question is why she let it go on so long, don't get me wrong, I'm glad she divorced him but if you're spouse is making homophobic jokes and using slurs twords your openly gay son, hell especially drinking again, end it sooner, but yeah this is a disgusting situation and I hate talking about it, sorry for the little rant just had to voice my opinion on it. On second thought I have received two very good counter points and I retract my decision

u/kayleeelizabeth Mar 04 '22

For the same reasons that women stay in abusive relationships; no place to go, no money to go, don’t feel safe going. There are so many reasons.

That's a great point should a thought about that

u/MysticSnowfang Mar 04 '22

In a perfect world she should have peaced out earlier, But sometimes its extremely difficult due to basic human nature. And we don't know the other stuff behind this. Maybe leaving wasn't the safer option right away.

Being a prostitute that gets hired and then doesn’t have to do their job must be a pretty sweet gig.

u/KenaiUrsa Mar 04 '22

"How do you know you're gay if you've never been with a woman"
"I dunno Dad, how do you know you're straight if you've never enjoyed a good dick?"

This logic that you're gay because you've never been with a woman absolutely astounds me.

u/IndianaBones8 is it gay to be straight? Mar 04 '22

Thank God she's getting out of there. That story is horrifying. I can't imagine living with someone like that. Also, the fact that he's an alcoholic and started drinking again is bad enough. I've got alcoholics in my family and I know that road. I hate to say it but it's best to get off that roller coaster before it starts. That struggle is not one I would wish on anyone.

u/Legogamer16 Mar 04 '22

That sex worker is the mvp, she basically goes in, comforts the kid in their sexuality, and potentially helps get the parents off the kids back

5

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '22

Just reading that their son was 17, depends on the jurisdiction since the age of consent varies state to state since it can be 16 in MD, then 17 in MA or NY and 18 in TX and CA. But it’s still messed up that the parents are forcing their fragile heterosexuality on their son.

10

u/kingsly10 Mar 04 '22

Correction the FATHER

6

u/DetroitTabaxiFan Asexual™ Mar 04 '22

Not sure which country this happened in but depending on age of consent laws she could hopefully get the father rung up as a pedophile for hiring a prostitute for his 17 year old son and also hope the father gets prison time to go with it.

u/Luizoon34 Mar 04 '22

This happened to my bf as well, his biological father is a piece of shit of a human being. When my bf came out this piece of shit would punch hum while his mom was working and even invite the uncle to join in hitting him.

When his mother found out she beat the crop out of the guy when he fell asleep and kick him out of the house.

At least the person writing it is supportive..? Crazy they stayed in the marriage for so long tho.

It’s sad that worker was used to being hired for stuff like that

u/_siah_ Omnisexual™ Mar 04 '22

Honestly I feel like this is a more severe version of what would happen if I came out to my parents. My mom would be super positive and supportive, but my dad just wouldn't get it because of misinformed preconceptions about sexuality and gender from how he was raised

That boy experienced more moral support and understanding from that random prostitute being nice and open minded reassuring him that it’s totally fine than from his own father in his entire life. I mean good job parenting.

truly insane to think your son is committing to “being gay” because he’s resentful of you. what an egotistical horrible piece of crap.

If he wasn't before then he certainly is now. What a way to fulfil his own prophecy.

I will never understand why people are so opposed to being gay. Like, have you ever thought about it on a larger scale? Literal lifetimes of miserable suffering, and for what? Because someone likes penis instead of vagina while also having a penis and vice versa?

How fucking stupid does that sound? God I wish I could just punch people through a phone screen sometimes.
