We're using dictionary definitions here. Well since you want to use definitions, here's the Wiki definition: quote:
Prostitution is the act or practice of providing sexual services to another person in return for payment. They further define "sexual services" where they include the following telling phrase: quote:
Sexual activity can be regarded as conventional or as alternative, involving, for example, fetishism and/or BDSM activities
The legal dictionary section of thefreedictionary.com defines it as quote:
a person who receives payment for sexual intercourse or other sexual acts, generally as a regular occupation.
WordIQ.com defines it as quote:
Prostitution is the sale of sexual services (typically manual stimulation, oral sex, sexual intercourse, or anal sex) for cash or other kind of return, generally indiscriminately with many persons. Here the word "typically" clearly does not limit the "sexual services" to the acts listed.
Ninjawords.com defines it as quote:
A person who performs sexual activity for payment.
About.com defines BDSM as quote:
BDSM is a term most often used to describe a range of sexual behaviors, but it's also an approach to sex and sex play. WordIQ defines BDSM as quote:
BDSM is a term which describes a number of related patterns of human sexual behaviour. Wiki has the following as its definition quote:
BDSM is an erotic preference and a form of sexual expression involving the consensual use of restraint, intense sensory stimulation, and fantasy power role-play.
So depending on where you look, exchanging BDSM activities <which can be defined as a "sexual activity"> for cash is indeed prostitution.
Even if you decide to go with the very narrow definition of requiring some form of genital contact, the following definitions could be said to apply.
Definition #2 from Mirriam Webster? quote:
2: a person (as a writer or painter) who deliberately debases his or her talents (as for money) Or #3 from dictionary.com? quote:
3. a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money.
That's the problem with running to some dictionary or definition, there are many of them, and they all have slightly different nuances, one can't just cherry pick the one that fits your argument and claim some sort of authority for one's position.
Similarly, one can't just throw in a disparaging remark including the words "fuckity fuck fuck" and thereby dismiss Hanners' arguments, in fact, doing so is pretty much an admission that you really have nothing with which to counter what she has said.
And finally, yes, it really is that simple, you are complicating things overly. You are overlooking the obvious, that you have specific expectations in mind that you would require a professional top to meet. In your case it is that she manage to give you the impression that she is a) in control, and b) enjoying herself, and c) doing it for her pleasure, not yours. This is your shopping list, in essence it's really no different than the typical Do-Me's shopping list.
