To further this reasoning : you nurse your ailing Mom for five years ... are you a Nurse ?Originally Posted by Stephanie
Etc.
Each and every sex worker has a rich life history , and many have a bright future.
It is a simplistic and almost cruel thing to reduce them all to 'Prostitute'.
Imo it says more about the person using such language , than it says about the sex worker being referred to as such.
I find it offensive xx
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

It's the difference between a day labourer or a tradesman or an Artist
Prostitute , Escort , Courtesan ..
All three above would be engaging in prostitution , but that's where the similarities end.
Though I am currently in 'entertaining' , I would defo find 'prostitute' offensive.
I wouldn't refer to any sex worker as a prostitute unless they have specifically expressed their notion for such ,
and proclaimed themselves to be a prostitute. (There're a few on these boards).
Imo doing something and being something are two entirely different things.
Think of it : you go out fishing on the lake every so often. Are you a fisherman ? The question is identity. xx
Imo girls coming into this field for a short time ( pay college fees , make a nest egg , pay for family emergency , etc. ) ,
just by the act of engaging in prostitution , I would not lower them to the station of a 'prostitute'.
They are schoolgirls , Moms , wives whose household has fallen apart due to economic hardship , they might be
women with a sick child or with ailing parents . They might be young girls dreaming of a better life , perhaps trying to
escape hardships at home .. Would I call them 'prostitutes' ? Nope. Not as long as they intend to exit this life , not
as long as they hold onto the real person that they are , and they do not allow this life to swallow them up.
In my mind a prostitute is one who has decided (or had the decision made for her/him) to be a lifelong sex worker .
And even that is neither here nor there.
But I don't like the stigma of the word xxI agree with every single word and syllable that you say except perhaps, if pushed, I would not consider anyone who had decided to work as a sex worker for their whole life a prostitute. The word is, to my mind, redundant just as the Irish government removed all reference to the word "bastard" or the Catholic Church (God bless it) removed the reference to Limbo! It is a word that no longer ought to either be in use or used. There are no circumstances to my mind in which it is acceptable.
And we all, to a greater or lesser degree, sell, offer or make available our time. services or skills (which to some degree must involve our minds and bodies) for financial reward. Or at least I do anyway! But that does not make me or anyone I know a prostitute!

In fairness, doesn't really narrow it down, GWG, does it? Sure aren't you every girl's favourite and best endowed client

A topic close to your heart no doubt.Thank you
..train of thought , and ideas developing as I type ...
Ive posted a good few times in depth on here about why I don't feel escorting should be always thrown under the same umbrella as prostitution.
I wont go on another rant or rehash all ive said before ,but.......Only a simple person in search of a simple answer will take the simple route and lump them in together and not look any deeper.
Quite simple really(Another rolleyes just cause I know u love em)
Topic close to my heart ? Eh. Not so much : I hold myself well far above 'prostitute'A topic close to your heart no doubt.

A topic that irks you (Therefore as an escort can I not be forgiven for thinking it was "close to your heart"?)
