Why do some people pay hundreds of dollars for a therapist to sit there and nod and ask basic questions?

Wow holy shit this comparison is so absurd it makes me think your reasoning has been compromised by your financial incentives

No, its not absurd, but you'd have to have followed Aella for some time to get what she's pointing at here. She's saying men would pay for a therapist and pay for porn/sex and if those services come from the same person, all the better. =P

The implications of it are hella controversial though, I'd give you that. But that's her whole shtick.

I mean equivocating someone who went through 4 years education and specific training in trying to help others with someone who "sits there and nods and asks basic questions" is just really preposterous.

I used to think therapists were authoritative/trained, but I now have a very low opinion of them. I think, in general, most therapists are probably broken people who got a rubber stamp of a degree and they actually have little ability to reason about minds independently.

I agree that some therapists can help in a way most OF girls can't. I also think in person sex work is *way* more therapeutic (and probably often more beneficial than therapy) than online sex work, and I think most people from the outside severely underestimate this.

>I also think in person sex work is *way* more therapeutic (and probably often more beneficial than therapy) than online sex work I buy that in person beats online. I would be surprised but am open to the possibility of it also being more beneficial than therapy.

One huge advantage it has is open, warm, accepting touch. Therapists can't touch their patients. In sex work you get skin-to-skin, full bodied, accepting contact, which I think can do more interesting things to the brain.
