I am totally wanting to hear everyone's opinons on..

[MissMimi420]

Lamar Odom, found unconscious at a brothel. I hope he is okay, but jeez a brothel? What is your opinions?

 

[Teagan]

What's really to say about it? He's is a troubled man and always has been and I hope if he survives this it's his wake up call to truly get help. He's lost his mom and 2 friends already to drugs and it's a very real and hard struggle to get clean and stay that way. I could give 2 shits he was at a legal brothel, my heart goes out to the people who love him who need support right now.

 

[JickyJuly]

Seems like as fine a place to nearly die as any other.

 

[JoleneBrody]

I hope he will be ok, who cares if he was at a brothel. Nice to know he supports sex work

 

[mynameisbob84]

I find it really staggering that a famous sports star is potentially at death's door at a relatively young age, possibly due to a drug addiction, and the thing the media seem to be obsessing over more so than his health or his family, is the location in which he fell ill. It's bewildering, yo. Who cares that he happened to be in a (legal, as far as I know) brothel? More to the point, why do they care? I don't get it.

I have never been to a brothel, but I do not see anything wrong with visiting one. I have always found it stupid that a women can have sex with every man and women in a city with no legal problems, but if she charges one person it is a crime.

I couldn't agree more. Even when it is a famous sports star, the 90,000 people who die of drug/alcohol abuse (3x guns, 8x gun homicide) the elephant seems to be ignored, in favor of the "scandalous" location. The real issue isn't what where he sticks his cock, it's what he puts in his body.

 

[n_i_c_u]

If you really want my opinion: I had never heard of him prior to this incident so he's 'almost' just a regular guy to me that maybe overdosed on something in a brothel. I say 'almost' because he must be important to be getting news coverage. I know a lot of people overdose and I know a lot of people go to brothels. I wonder if the two happen a lot together?

I knew Lamar because I'm Laker fan, and he had fine NBA career. I have to admit that I didn't know that he was married to a Kardashian which sadly elevates you into celebrity royalty status.

 

[n_i_c_u]

Ohhh..

married to a Kardashian

I don't have cable tv so I only know the Kardashians from people talking about them and I didn't know he was related to them either. The Kardashians link helps to explain the importance. I don't follow basketball, but that explains it too. I haven't even had time to look at what happened just heard about it on the radio on my way home from work.

 

[David_Lee_Loca]

Don't know who he is. Considering this is a forum filled with sex workers, I don't think anybody is going to mind that this man was in a brothel. It's not like he was found in a drug house or a Walmart parking lot. That might be more iffy.
Either way, hope he ended up being relatively okay and is staying safe.

 

[Moonsunit]

I find it strange that people pay for sex. It's like paying for DvDs or Cds.

 

[JoleneBrody]

or a Walmart parking lot. That might be more iffy.

I love you

 

[Mila_]

Knowing virtually nothing about the couple I was going to say this: "I do think it is shitty that he was found at a brothel because he is married and I doubt his wife was okay with it. And even then the drug part is 10 times shittier since he has children to care for." But a quick google search told me he was estranged from his wife and children, so whatever floats his boat.

 

[dilligaf0]

A recurring statement in this thread seems to be about the fact he was found in a brothel, and the fact that's what is getting the most attention. I think the reason is, though the brothel is legal, the self-righteous individuals can pass judgement on someone instead of showing concern for him or his family.

I find it strange that you think people should be able to apparently easily find someone to immediately hook up with, who both parties find each other attractive enough, both are into whatever the other one is into, and both also have the same emotional feelings about the hookup.

I don't know what fantasy world you live in, but other than going out and getting someone at a bar who's possibly just wasted and will agree to whatever (plus, most likely you'd have to pay for drinks at the bar, which would be kinda like paying for sex too anyway)...good luck with not paying for sex.

Too many people get sex and actual love confused, and I believe that's where things get complicated. No, you can't buy true love. However, if you're wanting loveless sex without any hassles...it makes sense that it should cost something.

 

[ShilohGables]

I just think it's silly that people are making a big deal of it. I mean, I hope he's okay. but it was a LEGAL brothel. Who cares what he likes to do in his free time. I, for one, think it's great he was getting his rocks off.

I'm sorry that you have a hard time understanding my opinion. I agree that love and sex are two different things and one has nothing to do with the other. If people want to pay for sex more power to them I'm just saying I find it strange.

Yes but you also said it's like paying for DVDs and CDs. For one no where near a close comparison but as a content provider who expects people to pay for my stuff could you not maybe understand why I would side with others who do the same and expect to get paid as well instead of stealing from them? I pay for my DVDs and I pay for my music thank you cause it's the right thing to do. I do not have a hard time understanding your opinion, I just wholeheartedly do not agree with that stance.

Oh holy shit, you mean that wasn't a joke? I passed it off as you trying to be funny and was going to giggle at the rise you get out of people when they reply. But, hmm.

Misjudged.

 

[mynameisbob84]

I find it strange that an adult with (I have to assume) a job that pays them money would find it strange that other adults with jobs that pay them money would use that money to buy material goods that bring them enjoyment, including the things that they used to maybe pirate (and maybe even some times still do) when they were younger and couldn't afford those things.

Also, devil's advocate: is paying for sexual gratification online really all that far removed from paying for sexual gratification in the real world?

Thank you!!! And no, not far removed at all. That's why I thought he was just joking too, cuz ya know.... He's active on a forum based around paying for sex or attention in one way or another.

I think i understand where the logic is here: why pay for something when there are others options which you can get for free…?

I’ve heard someone ask why go to a bar spending $5-10 per beer when i can pay a fraction for the same amount if i get a large case in bulk. Or why buy tickets to a ballgame, that includes buying expensive ballpark food and dealing with parking hassles, when the vast majority of games are televised. You know else i heard many times? Why spend money going to camsites when there are options to meet girls off tinder, dating sites, the real world… options to see naked women on twitter, instagram or pornhub… or why bother even tipping when other members are willing to cover the countdowns for you… etc.

The way i see it, the reason for customers paying for specific items/services usually boils down to a basic concept... Folks are willing to spend their money on whatever the purchase may be, since it’s worth the price of enjoyment to him/her in spite of the cheaper/free options already available. In other words, the value is worth it to said individual who paid for it. Even when others think it’s a (ahem) waste of money, all that matters is if that specific customer feels he/she is receiving good value for their purchase.

Yes, but again, you're still having to pay for it.

You know else i heard many times? Why spend money going to camsites when there are options to meet girls off tinder, dating sites, the real world… options to see naked women on twitter, instagram or pornhub… or why bother even tipping when other members are willing to cover the countdowns for you… etc.

Tinder, dating sites and the real world will take a lot of time and effort to lay the groundwork to get to the goal of meeting someone, and in turn possibly having sex. Camsites/whatever kind of sex work needless to say, don't. Sure you might have to find someone you really want to spend your money on, but at generally it isn't as much of a hassle. Also, it's not as likely that most pay as much as they would in comparison to constantly going out, buying meals/drinks/gifts etc.

Also, looking at online porn pics and vids is great and wonderful...but not at all as interactive as either offline or camsites. Sure they're free, and may get a person off, but it's not near as fulfilling as live. The countdown thing...eh, here's how I see it. When first finding a model who's seemingly everything the member's looking for as a camgirl, it's best to tip something (personally I'd say once a month is good, if watching my pocketbook, but that's me). That way at least the member contributed. Now obviously most members will want something in return. That's fine, if the member isn't willing to go private or group, the member should see if she has something on her profile that to enjoy. Either way though, it's silly to think a member can't even spend a few tokens/whatever site currency to a model he visits regularly.

Folks are willing to spend their money on whatever the purchase may be, since it’s worth the price of enjoyment to him/her in spite of the cheaper/free options already available.

Completely agree. It depends on what's being offered and how it's packaged, but everyone will justify things to fit their wants. My mother claims to be extremely penny pinching, but in reality she overspends on "sale items", and will by things in bulk that she doesn't need simply because they may never be on sale again. I've known others who won't buy anything on sale/cheap, but will waste money on things that are expensive, simply because they assume since it's a high price it must be worth getting.

For me...if you get enjoyment out of it, then contribute towards it a little at least. I know everyone's on a different budget. Some folks go through hard times etc., but if you've never even paid for a service you enjoy...that's not only a slap in the face to those giving you what you're wanting, but also causing their business to die (be it cam models/musicians/whoever).

 

[CrazyCatLady]

His "wife" was dating a "rapper" and another basketball player. She was parading them on TV and through the media.

On the show Sunday night she proceeded to drag him and his problems out in front of the camera. I'm sure that's what set this off.

Suicide attempt? Maybe. Drugs? Sure. Do I care that he was found at a brothel? No. Should anyone who comes to a cam site judge people who go to brothels? I find it to be pretty hypocritical.

They have been estranged for 2 years due to his drug issues. The papers have been filed but just not signed off on a judge yet. They were both allowed to see other people. There is nothing wrong with her dating others nor him being at a brothel. He chose drugs over her. Khloes lif e is on TV so when she's with someone so are they, I wouldnt call that parading them in any way especially of all the 3 girls she's the most private of them with who she's seeing ever. Im sorry but her doing whatever is no excuse for him to go do some more drugs. He's in control of his actions only and he cant blame her for it. It's disgusting to me for someone to even try to. A druggie doesnt need an excuse to use, they just do. Im not a fan at all of these girls but it's sick to see people trying to blame them when he had issues long before he even met them.

Who is he?

 

[Gen]

Who is he?

Let me google that for you he's a former Lakers basketball player and he married one of the Kardashian sisters so I think he was on their TV show.

 

[Kotik29]

Ah, so there is no reason why I would know who he is ^_^
