but like the bald pastor was so respectful in how he stated his views. whenever he said something he made sure to let it be know that was his choice in his lifestyle and he’s not forcing that on anyone else

I'm not religious, but that bald pastor's love toward his wife is amazing
LuKk and the way he’s talks about her sounds like he always makes sure she is comfortable and doesn’t try to harm her character, he seems super sweet
Studio Autio or he loves his wife, there’s a difference
Studio Autio you’re a virgin lol
Studio Autio a preacher gets more pussy than you
@Studio Autio theres is a difference between wanking off a streamer and loving a person that you actually love
The pastor’s passion toward his wife is goals.
Welcome to the life of what true love, devotion and marriage looks like
That is how I hear my husband describe me, and it is truly heart warning. We will be married 10 years in a couple of months, we married really young, I was 20 and he was 23, and we still act like when we were dating. I love it. I wish everyone could be in this type of marriage, with your Best friend, never a dull moment and always love to give each other.

Yeap, precisely
I thought he made a really good point with that.
I mean people can be addicted to porn, so he was 100% right about it.
Rae Navin I know that’s why I said I like the analogy. People can get addicted to drinking but most don’t. Almost all adults drink alcohol at some point or another. But the vast majority aren’t addicted. Just like porn. Most people watch it. Some people get addicted. Most people don’t.

Exactly!
Exactly they acted like the others were attacking them for their work but they were being respectful. Unlike them who were bashing their religion like really..?🙄

HONESTLY
Yes this is very true, but I do want to point out that even though he said that, he also didn’t come up for the question that sex work can have positive effects. If it had been does sex work have a positive effect for YOU, than it would be a different story, idk. I think that they were very harsh Defineately, but the bald pastor could’ve been a little bit more explanatory-just saying lol.

Yep, I'm not Christian but I'm absolutely on their side in this video. Although I will say Wesley conducted himself well on the other side!
note how the bald pastor said “i feel like...” or “i think...” & was automatically met with something to tear down his religion.
Just because you say “I feel like“ or “I think“ doesn't make it automatically more respektful. There is a difference between saying “it's not something for me“ and “(I think) it is bad“. With the second one you are judging wether or not you include something like “I think“.
And when you are judging people doing stuff in mutual consent that for me is intolerance.
I didn't see how they went after his religion.
K. A. It’s not about being respectful. He said “i think” as to reference that it is his own personal opinion and not the teachings of his religion. There was no reason for them to go after his religion. And oh boy did they go after his religion.
@@rewangoda2900 saying things like "I feel like" or "i think" is actually proper, respectful communication, without pointing fingers. Hes saying that that those are HIS beliefs, hes not saying that they NEED to believe in the same thing.
K. A. He was not automatically judging someone by stating his beliefs, he was just putting his input.

@@joannereder4772 No. She's quiet becos she is LISTENING and DIGESTING what others are saying. She don't ask the sex workers questions probably becos she accepted or understood what they were saying. If someone were close minded, he/she would try to continuously challenge the points made by others.
i am a sex worker, and this is the first time i’ve watched a middle ground that i didn’t agree with the people i identify with.
I assume you mean you that you did not agree with the sex workers, correct? If so, what were the main points you disagreed with?
Hugo Quinonez mostly their awful attitude. it’s been a month since i’ve watched the video, i don’t remember all of the content in the video.
Savannah Lake thank god, I was hoping that sex workers weren’t all so rude and thoughtless over other people’s choices to live. Bravo and cheers!
How does it feel being a complete loser? I just wanted to know
@@AntiGenZandY - how's it feel to be a an instigative prick, "Humpflung"?
I find it really ironic how strong of a stance that the sex workers took on the topic of cheating, considering how many married/committed men or women paid them for sex.
My long term boyfriend whom I thought was perfect was one of those people. I thought he was truly perfect for me and I never would have seen it coming. Turns out he was cheating on me with prostitutes the entire time we were together. It destroyed my self esteem, and it was two years before I even began to feel better about myself through counselling and therapy.
That is also what is wrong with pornography. Porn depicts of cheating, adultery all the time, but do people watching porn at the time ever think "that is wrong"? Porn really do messes with your thinking and beliefs on what is right and what is wrong.
as said, there are not so nice people in every industry. you can't generalize and say "all porn/sex workers promote cheating!" because that'd be false.
Never place your value on the account of someone else. You value YOU. If they don't leave. When you have that mindset you will always seeks someone to see the value in you but since you don't value yourself that will be ZERO.
Not sure how the existence of people cheating makes that ironic. People cheat even without using sex workers, that doesn't make normal relationships ironic, does it?
@ghost robles Those men that cheated with the sex workers would've cheated either way. Don't blame it on them, the male is just as responsible if not more responsible cause he's going out of his way, finding them and paying for the sex.

Wolfy 2001 exactly what i was thinking. both sides were reaching hard to make themselves look better
Wolfy 2001 That was a point the Sex workers were trying to make. There's no good alternative to porn because sex education doesn't dive deep enough. People want to learn more but can't unless they do it themselves or go to porn.
Yes
sksjdj sndh yes exactly
Well she did say that sometimes people just wanna talk about their sex life. Maybe they've got a problem (sex related), and honestly, who would be better to go to than one of them? I mean, they have plenty of experience, and they are still people, so they still have feelings (hopefully)
They’re all just insulting the pastors and honestly I find it so disrespectful
I think that in any other context it would be considered disrespectfull, but in this context I find it ok, because that was topic of the conversation. Also they were very honest and I was glad they did and they were also smiling all time and hug each other at the end so I don't think pastors found themselves offended.
Milica Mihajlovic referring to the Bible as “that oooold book” and being passive aggressive and talking back to the bald priest every time he spoke, it’d call it disrespectful.
Just the sex workers right? I found the other 2 pastors respectfull
Well they are demonic
Name one insult they said; I don't remember them saying anything rude. I think they had a civil adult conversation.
That pastor is an absolute queen for not laughing at any of their immature jokes
He and the other pastors are logical and reasonable but the rest not so much
Queen?? 🤔😌
i think you mean king but lol i gotchu
... Or maybe they meant the female pastor you guys??
All Pastors are King/Queen(s) 🤴👸
i love how he hypes up his wife that is the sweetest thing ever
I think the problem here is that pastors don't underestimate or talk down to sex workers (which they shouldn't) but the sex workers seem to look down on pastors. They tend to see their religious values and choices as not important. A person can believe whatever they want, and you may not be agree with them but you have to respect.
Elif Özdöner yes beautifully put.
completely agree, i said this in a comment earlier but it just has to do with the type of people that tend to go into these fields. the sex workers are bold, wild (not in a bad way), yolo people. And that's super fun. But that mindset blows up opinions a lot while the pastors are very conservative, modest people. They are taught to respect in that way more than the others have because they feel they have been more oppressed
exactly. Nobody should ever look down on anyone for anything that they've done, as a Christian I've been taught that only God can do that. Jesus spent most of his time with the 'unsavory' characters, like prostitutes, thieves, alcoholics, murderers, etc. We're all human, nobody's perfect and we all make mistakes, pastors and priests included.
"Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." John 8
Yes I agree with you that's a good point.

Lady in the colored paints, calm down a little, come back to earth... its okay to have your opinions, but don't be disrespectful to people who have a different opinion. The pastor was being respectful to her while she was being rude.
I so loved when they found the word "prohibit" harsh. You may not agree with someone's choice, you may feel sad. That's ok that's your opinion/belief .
But to overpower your love or bond for that person is just walking backwards...
I was addicted to porn at such a young age and it is NOT positive. It warped me and caused mental issues. And they’re not talking about that. They dont want to be judged. That’s ok. But porn and lust is a problem that should be talked about
how did u stop the addiction?
im sorry you went through that. i hated how she said "kids and adults" need porn for education like no not kids?? it's genuinely traumatic for a kid to get into porn and can cause mental issues. i wish they talked about that more. i also wish they talked about sex trafficking and child trafficking and how sites like pornhub profit off of that.

SydeKick tbh tho, I’m not even trying to sound like a terrible person, but they are basically human sex toys. They get paid to have sex with some random person they never met. It’s disgusting and I find it vile that some people are so desperate they need to pay someone to have sex with them.
@SydeKick I said this word for word lmfaooooo
I just can't imagne these workers claiming they're teachers 🤣🤣
Two of the workers just made fun of the bald pastor (who's actually an amazing guy that more pastors should try to be). So rude.
I know, right.
He was saying crazy stuff to be fair. I don't think they were being rude and they were just joking about it but like come on. Mr. "I Watch Porn And Think Women Should Be Taking Off Their Clothes Everywhere" had some iffy things to say.
yes
😂they did
It was all fun and games. Obviously the pastor didn’t take it to heart.
You can see which side is unhappiest and in denial by how aggressively they expressed their opinions. The discontentment is so clearly deep-rooted, it’s actually sad to watch.
@Cog Gear the wording. Bro a true goat
Ever think that people are sick of being treated badly by self-righteous hypocrates (not talking about the people in this video, they were lovely), so they develop a gut-reaction of standing their ground and defending who they are and what they do with more passion than someone that has never been subjugated for their sex life, job and views beyond being called a "prude"? This whole debate was going pretty well, actually. The comparison between the two groups is in presentation and the way they express their feelings on the matter can differenciete because of their experiences. A sex worker will be more outspoken and have a more powerful presence than a spiritual person that is usually more mick and short-spoken on topics like this.
@Cog Gear I'm wasn't referring to you when writing that response. You seem to be a very respectful and nice person that wouldn't think more highly of themselves for being more spiritual or conservative.
Your passive aggressive comment isn’t doing your point any good hunty.
living happily is living sad???
I just wanna sit with this bald dude and talk about life
@Cog Gear that's not the only reason at all. Both the church and a considerable number of priests have done some bad, bad things over the years. Some not too long long ago.
Besides that, people outgrew religion because we have a much broader and scientific understanding of the world. There's no reason to believe in a God if not for therapeutic reasons. That's why I appreciate things like Buddhism a lot, it's more of a spiritual way of life than something based on blind faith.
@Cog Gear Well, everything you say can, is or either will be explained by science -except the existance of spirit and sould, which is debatle for its very nature.
I'm not saying there's no God, I'm just saying I don't believe in one. I'd rather trust someone who's giving us answers and making things work (like the very internet we are using to have this conversation) than some old book that tells us things are the way they are just because it works like that. I simply don't know if there's a God, but looking at this world it sure doesn't feel like it. There's too much bad, and not just amongst people.
@@glacio95 Hi, you are raising valid points, especially with regard to "all the bad happening in this world". You might wanna check Frank Turek and Ravi Zaccharias on YT. Both give an excellent explanation on why there is evil in this world and that it does not conflict with the existence of God, but rather confirms it. Basically what they say is that our ability to love and do good cannot exist without the possibility to chose to do evil. Love is all about free will. Have a nice day :)

We muslims have a lot in common with christians when it comes to base values.
I felt that some of the sex workers were being a bit degrading towards the pastors. Like talking to them like they’re lesser than them. That just seems wrong to me.
How were they talking to them like they were lesser?
It seemed like a debate of ideas to me.
To me, saying that someone’s penis doesn’t know how to act is degrading. You’ll notice that the girl in the colorful pants talk down to the pastor in the blue shirt a lot. 92 other people agree with me but your opinion may be different. Yes, I did just bring in the amount of likes I have so come at me.
Amelia Reid Its doesn’t matter how many people agree or disagree, your opinion and The Best AME’s opinion are both valid.
Amelia Reid I think your being a bit patronising yourself, actually
Ellie Tomczynski it was a joke but ok also, it’s you’re
The pastors were kinda being attacked. This was less of a trying to find a middle ground and more of a here’s why I’m right, and I’m going to convince you that I’m right...
Facts!!! I was really mad
I totally agree !!
Exactly.. you would think it be the other way around based on people's assumptions.. nope the pastors were there listening calmly and answering in a proper manner. The women pastor and the bald pastor definitely were on my top list. Beautiful answers in my opinion.
Yes, they were being attacked but they were being attacked from a place of ignorance. The only respectful sex worker was the guy. And the only true pastor was the bald guy. Hes a man that kept saying again, you can disagree with me and my standard, but this is the standard I've chosen to live by. Referring to the bible. Meaning, it's not about opinions, it's not about what feels good, it's not about being right or nice in societies eyes, it's that he has simply chosen to live his life according to the bible. And the bible is pretty clear in this specific subject. They all looked so happy to be there, honestly. And I LOVED that the lady pastor said when she was giving her opinion about the soul ties that it was just her opinion based on humanity and nothing to do with the bible. They were honestly pretty great pastors. Pastors that say it's not about what you think, but ground your faith in the bible so you dont have to question. All without sounding condescending(which I hope I'm not but probably am)
I don't see this as them being attacked. I thought both sides brought up points and I'm sure so much were left out it needs to be longer. I felt like by the end they all kinda understood not everything is for everyone and it's ok to believe in something you don't.
Everyone can have his one opinion but I always feel that pastors are so much more respectful at things like things
Lea Hdr To be fair, they should be. A big part of their job is to be compassionate.
Emma Stainton it’s also a big part of christianity and what the bible teaches🥰
dat boi Well yeah that was kind of my point. They’re representations of what the bible is meant to teach. So they bett-ah.
Emma Stainton yesss, i was just tryna emphasize your point, i fully agree with you!
I just felt like the pastors came from a place of love and the workers came from a place of insecurity.
As a sex worker, I’m embarrassed of how they responded to the prompts. Yet that is how many in the industry act sadly.
Why are you a sex worker?
I'd like to become one, but the industry is so toxic. Consumers and providers both alike. Almost all sex workers I've encountered have been like these ones, and it's sad.
@@saylorgrey1029 Most become sex workers either to enjoy providing for people or to just earn some cash. But there are many reasons why someone could become one.
I think the sex workers came into this with their guard up and are using “humor” to protect themselves from being hurt by what they’re assuming will be judgmental words. But what these 3 pastors showed was not hate nor superiority, but wisdom, vulnerability, and understanding. Lots of respect for them :)
they were straight up shaming them for not having sex as much as they do
@@hi-nq5mm i believe it was meant to be a joke, not to offend anyone. as milk said, people who are oppressed and judged for who they are and what they do have a defense mechanism to counteract prejudice and judment.
@@hi-nq5mm I don’t think so. They were explaining their own behaviour and worldview to others, in an open-minded fashion.
@@PAJA63 yes but they were too much on the defensive at times, and I was a bit uncomfortable at some parts like when the Black lady answered for the very last question
i had no respect fo them
The bald pastor needs to start his own youtube channel. Felt like he really has a beautiful connection with God and the Bible. Such a wonderful human being.
He needs to be more private about his personal sex life. It's not for public consumption. Talk to your pastor about it or your spouse. Sad to see him drop to the level of these degenerates and bring shame to his wife.
@@abelo1676 Dude, did he say something especific? Nothing at all, You know every couple is healthy to have a sexual life.
@@abelo1676 shame on you to speak for his wife. He was great. He HAD to have had a conversation about it with his wife AND prayed about it. Calling them degenerates just because they're sex workers...honestly...this pastor was truly an inspiration so I'll just say we should all try to be like him and NOT JUDGE and instead try to teach via the way we live our own lives as an example and show love! He lives his life according to the bible and jesus ate with the thieves and prostitutes and beggers. So go spread some love, not HATE!
@@abelo1676 You're the crazy kind of religious I was expecting in the video. Instead it was the most likable person on the planet who miraculously found a way to trigger you..
Bruh 🙈
I am an atheist.
I’ve never thought I’d agree with pastors 😂😂
But these sex workers were making it so hard to listen to their side.
They were disrespectful and unwilling to listen... it was hard to watch and to understand them
Man I’m a Christian and I felt myself agreeing with the pornstars a lot more.
I feel like the darker woman was being disrespectful to the pastors and didnt allow them acknowledgement of their point of view.
@@tino1tony228 why didn't you just say black woman 😂😂
haha, same lol
@@mynamesoriginal idk i just felt like saying it that way 🤷
I feel like the sex workers haven't thought about when they get older and their bodies aren't young and attractive anymore, will they still want to be in the industry or will they want to settle down and seek marriages and raise families.
Probably, most of them. Think of them as professional athletes. You do sometimes exhausting things for a living. Often on camera. There’s often a huge audience. Your career doesn’t last for life.
That's the downfall of sex work nobody wants to settle with you because of you're reputation and your audience fades away because you're aging
Marriages dont work because people rely on sex.
But intimacy, love and devotion are keys!!!
Sex is also important.
@@sardsvib it is 😉 But it's not the only thing that is important..
I’d say sex in marriage is like a human need. Many crave that form for deep connection and intimacy that can only be achieved by sex. If there’s none of that in the marriage, they might seek it in a form of another person. And that is very likely to lead to a divorce. BUT OF COURSE, that is no relationship if there is only sex and no love and devotion. There has to be a little bit of everything
jonathan alfred i agree! Having a relationship solely just for sex isnt the healthiest idea
And Compromise, and choosing to love when your circumstances are HARD.
I honestly think porn is so damaging to people’s minds because that’s not how real sex should be. It’s oppressive to women and it’s desensitizing.
As a person who watches porn once a week, i agree with u
i think this is one of the things that oppresses both genders. Watching porn causes people to want to have standards that are out of their control. it's a sad world out there.
Not necessarily, that may be the case for teenagers or people who doesn't have a sexual life at all. I have a girlfriend and we have sex pretty often. We also watch porn and that doesn't affect the way we see each other. We know what's real and what's not and we both respect each other.
@@juachomdp92 Ouu thats a good perspective to see it from. I should have mentioned that I'm still in high school and porn has devastating effects on my peers. I hate it so much, but hopefully we can all grow from that.
I've been in an actual intimate relationship with someone for almost 5 months after years of being alone. Haven't touched porn in almost 2 years because I realized it what distracting me from finding that
Ironic how the people who complain the most about being judged are the most judgemental lol
Ikr
Sometimes, the best defence is attack.
They're being defensive in advance because sex workers are judged, demonized, even assaulted everyday
@@Michael5iLVEr sometimes. But 90% of the time it isn't. Does that mean Attacking violence with violence is the best defense? No! You want to show the other side and really open the eyes of new and young generations who will lead in the future.
@@SUPABOOOMB same things happen to Christians all the time...sadly
I love the pastors for staying true to their beliefs without putting anyone down who feels otherwise. We would have way less division in the world if everyone did it this way. Respect people's choices
Even though this series is called “middle ground,” the sex workers were seriously just pushing their views onto the pastors and didn’t even try to find a middle ground.
Exactly
They just smashed pastors' point of views
I disagree. The point of this show is to disagree, respectfully. And I think its in the right of the sex workers, being a misunderstood minority, to be a little sassy. Compared to some other episodes of Middle Ground(Satanists, or Trump supporters for example), I honestly think that what we saw here were genuine reactions to eachothers points of view, instead of one side pushing their opinions on others or being manipulative. This is just my perception, and it's totally cool if you don't think the same.
Especially when there’s Beyoncé with her sarcastic nuances. Yep, put a ring on it, girl. No, diss the poor Christian first, THEN put a ring on it
They live in an alternate reality, and try to hide from the fact majority of people see their job as degrading. A poop cleaner has 1000% more dignity than them.
Yeah because they're prostitutes and hookers
when reading the title, i honestly thought i would be in the sex workers’ side, but damn they’re not good at listening at all. they just think they’re right
we’re-all-pink -inside why tf would u be in their side
Kellen Pies wow i’d happily have an adult conversation about it but your attitude makes me not wanna bother, so i hope life just teaches you in time x
Right and they sound so ignorant and obnoxious it grinds my gears. They sound so uneducated except that blonde who is chill
Putting religion aside, I seriously want you to explain to me why you be on their side. I love having these type of conversations so please respijd
*respond
I bet the bald pastor went home and pray for each of them. LOL
LMAOO facts
Yess . i hope so☺
honestly I'm 99% sure
Of course, that his his job, and often the sinners themselves are the ones asking for prayer.
He probably did
I was waiting for the female pastor to speak, and when she did, it was so sophisticated, and I feel that she definitely put some of the disrespectful comments in their places.
The blonde pastor is so eloquent, I admire that she brought up biblical criticism and understanding the passage’s context - something that people overlook all the time
Imi D yes, when people try to disapprove the Bible by talking about the passage were not allowed to eat certain food or wear certain clothes that’s is the biggest indicator of “I didn’t do my research” and it’s hilarious how many people try to use that one saying they are educated in the Bible 😂
Thank you!
honestly, porn is not a form of education.
EXACTLY
If it teaches you ways to have sex and how to use your body to give your partner pleasure, why not?
It’s not realistic of most sexual encounters & is often very exploitative. Most women don’t want to be with guy after guy on camera and be physically injured. It can send the wrong message to impressionable youth who are inexperienced. If this is their main sexual exposure it might send the message that this is normal and they should accept it even if they don’t want to. There are even “rape fantasy”, incestuous (where the “performers” act as though they’re related), and some where while it’s not pedophilic it’s made to look like at least some of the performers are too young (usually by choosing actors with a younger/less mature physique and having them dress young). I’m not necessarily saying ban porn or anything but admitting that the industry can be exploitative and damaging. Another concern is that since it’s highly unregulated there’s no way for the viewer to know if anyone in the video is being forced to do it, especially “amateur” videos and ones from countries with little to no government oversight. Most major US companies have at least some oversight to protect the workers but this might not be the case in say Mexico which has a lot of government corruption
Brady Casper because that's not education? It's nothing anyone needs to learn?
Brady Casper Most mainstream porn shows guys forcing their huge dicks and going in and out and the woman having huge orgasms in 5 minutes. That's definitely not how it works, and some guys even belive it and are surprised when their gf doesn't orgasm from penetration. Only about 20% of women can orgasm from penetration alone. And that's just an example.
Im not even religious anymore but damn these religious leaders were great.
@Reatile Mofolo People just think religion is outdated....
@Reatile Mofolo you are right and I agree with you, But I don't accept Jesus Christ as God or The son of God, because I'm a muslim not a christian.
Reatile Mofolo in my religion, God loves everyone so much that he gave his only son to forgive your sins (and mine) and let you into heaven no matter what. No matter how bad you were in life, he loves you too much to give you over to the devil
@@Alison-gc6gh i don't think religion is outdated, thats a view only liberals carry today because they believe they are sooo one with the world. I personally do believe their is a God and all, but I refuse to follow a religion where my natural homosexuality is seen as a sin and what will cause me to go to hell. I was raised in a very religious house and I still live in a very religious house, I think its hard for anyone who ever had some exposure to religion to just no longer be religious
@@freezingcoldcum5541 I can get into Homosexuality if you want, I Can't right away because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. That's how we are taught in Islam.
The female pastor spoke like a queen. When she spoke, it was like the entire environment changed and took a split second to mind their manners.
Honestly I cringed really hard when the sex workers essentially made fun of the bald guy for only having sex with one person... in today's world it's surprising enough that he's even comfortable admitting that but of course they weren't content (with themselves?) until they mocked him for it.
Yeah at that part I was thinking like, why couldn't they just accept what he said, he was always listening to them.
i didnt really take it as them mocking him i moreso took it as them being surprised because suddenly his viewpoint made so much more sense to them.
That's possible but the tone of their voices didn't really make it seem like that.
I think they laughed because they were surprised.
Laughing is not always bad. I think they laughed also because they couldn't imagine doing it themselves.
Fyi they said they admired him and stuff like that
So I think to them, it's like meeting someone who's never traveled. Traveling is fun, and great, and you get a lot of good experiences, but not everyone wants to travel, and they're fine with the life that they have in that one town. I think that it's totally fair to poke fun a little bit for someone not wanting to travel and have these different experiences. I'm guessing that these folks would personally feel imprisoned if they were told that they would never be allowed to travel and see the world, and experience all of the interesting things that come from that.
Its understandable that they're ribbing him a little for not having experienced hardly anything since they veiw it as beautiful and eye opening.
I say this as someone who has never had a romantic/sexual relationship: I think that everyone should have the freedom to have as many sexual encounters as they consent to. I totally would want to have sexual encounters, but I haven't had an opportunity yet. Folks who choose to only have one partner is fair game for good-natured ribbing, folks who choose to have many partners can also have a good-natured ribbing. (So long as you aren't trying to shame them)
I just loved that the pastors didn't agree with the idea of prohibition or disown their child and asked to change the statement. And still they said they would love their child anyways 👏👏👏
"By that ooooooooold book"
Show some respect men. The pastor is really trying not to judge you and is responding sincerely and all you do is disrespect a religion... shame
periodt.
alberto rivas- I agree with the pastors on this one
Yeah they starting to get under my nerves. They talk like middle school children, just so reckless and disruptive. At their age, its not cute.
@@SSBMA1994 ok boomer
but is an old book writed for an old civilization...
I’m not really into religion, but if there was anyone I’d sit down with to pluck their brain it would definitely be the bald pastor. His passion for his faith and family is really next level. He’s definitely “God body” very down to earth guy.
I feel like the black sex worker is so aggressive towards the bald pastor. The guy was just saying what he believed in a very respective and non-judgemental way in my opinion.
she was acting almost offended that he's never had sex with more than one person, not her place in the least
Mark the bald guy was grouping swinging with adultery/cheating which is inaccurate
@@aretheyfresh Wasn't intentional; irrelevant remark.
Tbh the bald pastor’s connection on certain scenarios was very irrelevant to each other. I don’t feel like she was aggressive cause I feel like she would have been angry but I don’t think she was. I feel like she was just passionate about the topics. Not every black woman is angry and aggressive all the time
black people smh
2:41
Bald pastor: "I'm married to a great woman who's willing to party..."
Wes: ".... Party? As in drugs?"
*everyone laughs*
Bald pastor: "Party with my body"
That was very disrespectful of him
This is not even funny. Poor the bald pastor
He really thought he came off as Slick, huh? Everyone knew what the pastor meant 😒
I think everyone should have a say and time to speak. The interruption are disrespectful and not funny.
Ya and he said he didn’t do drugs lol
It’s not fair for the side of the sex workers holding grudges and being so degrading to the pastors. This feels very animalistic.
exactly. i was really hoping to agree with the sex workers more but they honestly look like clowns. laughing while the pastors speak instead of being understanding.
On top of that, those sex workers they sound REALLY uneducated. They don’t make sense and not taking to account the pastors’ opinions specially the bald pastor.
Kevin Nguyen well I expect them to have a common sense and have basic education background than acting like wild animals in a show because they look “cool” for doing so
Porn is not sex education. Lotus was so unbelievably rude and disrespectful and I think the pastor should have called her out for it. Just because they disagree doesn't give her the right to be condescending and nasty and make cruel jokes. The conversation should be respectful.
I feel like she is acting that way because she fundamentally doesn't agree with her lifestyle or she has a lot of shame and is over compensating.
I think we should redo this, but with more mature sex workers because this group clearly can't handle someone with different views.
You are very correct sir
@Anti-Vax Mom better to be abandoned by a parent then be stuck with an anticaxer mom who's letting me die of tetenus.
@Anti-Vax Mom The male sex worker literally talks about conversations with his parents. You're wrong right out the gate (and I say that as a Christian).
You. Are. Not. Helping. The. Things. You. Think. You. Support.
Zero too defenseive
Juan Pablo Robayo And how does that mean they’re not toxic or abusive?
Why they be acting like sex is everything in life? It's not.
For real😂
I guess it is because its their career. And I guess the sex workers proud enough to come onto this discussion/video are going to be the ones most invested into this lifestyle.
Not trying to choose sides, but yeah I would think these particular sex workers would hold views that sex are a lot more impacting in their lives
@@stephenlaw8451 Sure, it's what they do in their everyday life's and impacts them a lot. But they talk about it and give the impression that sex is everything in this world. Like to be happy etc. Kinda disappointed cuz I know it's not something not needed. Its needed sure. But it's not everything. There's so much to do and see. It's like they have a point of a view and that's it. They dont change or accept anything else.
@@polyxenib8562 totally agree. I'm sure for the sex workers, their fulfillment stems largely from their career and how they are able to help their clients. However, this shouldn't excuse them for not trying to understand how another person's faith and lifestyle may grant this other person fulfillment. To say the least, I was also disappointed by the sex workers during this discussion.
@@stephenlaw8451 So true. You said everything I wanted to say and in better English! Yo thanks for this, yeah a career a person follows has a huge impact on their life. We can see this thorough the video. For both sides.
Lotus was the rudest person out of the group. To laugh at someone for only being with one person? Thats admirable, not laughable.
Right
She's acting like she's superior to everyone there
she’s making my blood boil.
i mean… it was rude. but calling it admirable? it’s just normal. nothing admirable about it same way as there’s nothing wrong with it. it’s just the way some people decide to live their sex life.
@@BloggingBlog oh stfu
The pastor is amazing... His wife is really lucky
Weird how the sex workers were more judgmental than the pastors especially the black girl she got on my nerves especially with making fun of the bald guy for only having one partner like i thought that was sweet but the bald pastor was the true mvp though he was the most logical one even though the other pastors were very smart as well
Makiya.A9598 weird ummm hello they are prostitutes of course they will be judgmental
Right with her saggy titties lol
mayika: I missed that. She seemed totally cool with him being with just one woman. She said so at the end.

Aye it’s ya girl No Name EXACTLY
That black girl and that man is just off putting... Like zero understanding

Arianna Elizabeth honestly
Forreal
Arianna Elizabeth I don’t think these people really understand how much those 2 values overlap each other. It’s just that the Bible is seen as a huge burden of rules that don’t allow for any true freedom.
Arianna Elizabeth Exactly....
Mathew James that's not true at all, the bible isn't in any way a burde,
Interesting conversations for sure, but it really sucks that people were being cut off to keep the video a certain length. I get that 10-20 minutes hits some sort of sweet spot, but I wish you'd release uncut versions of these conversations.
CyanYoh have you ever seen these videos? They are heavily cut. And at times, it seems there isn't a fair balance. I don't think they will ever release the uncut.
Pleaseee
Absolutely. I would LOVE to see an uncut version of these. Or even just longer, less cut versions. Make them an exclusive on their own website or on Patreon or something. I’d totally sign up for that shit
Agreed. Could be a new revenue stream if they decided to release the full versions.
