Wow.

How'd you meet this dude, originally?

And do you always have to write so stuck-up? We're not all book-learning types around here, you know.

Wrong. Try reading what I posted:

You might not like it, but goods received in lieu of cash is still payment. And when those goods are received in exchange for sex, that's prostitution. You can call them what you want to try and put a spin on it; benefactors, customers, clients, johns; but it doesn't change anything. The fact is benefactors give money for nothing in return - that's not what your clients do. It might not be at the time, but something is expected by them.

I was in S. America for about three months. To give you some idea of the ‘respect’ that I have from this gentleman I received ear rings and a matching pendant to the value of 65,000 US for my services. No sex was involved.

It's not 'respect' - it's called payment - for services rendered. And you claim in this instance not for sexual services. It doesn't negate the fact that when you receive payment for sex it's prostitution, because you wouldn't have done it without payment.

A construction in which words are left out or implied.

That's because an ellipsis is exactly that -- an ellipsis. Just like a comma is a comma and an exclamation mark is an exclamation mark. Questions do not become more of a question by adding additional ? to the end. Nor does the strength of an allusion or implication to which an ellipsis refers become more so by adding extra dots. It also does not necessarily mean the omission of a word. Its use generally means that the reader should be able to fill in the implied blank based on their prior knowledge or experience of the subject matter being discussed.
