How did you decide...

Frances Fitzgerald and her moralising cohorts should read the ladies' responses !

[mattswe]

Wow. Must say some very honest replies there guys. A lot of it makes perfect sense. Think you have satisfied my curiosity so thank you for being so forthcoming.

Btw Sophie...PPL,CPL or just for fun?

A job only .. nobody ask a carpenter why he choose to be a carpenter

This is an excellent point there this presumption that we do this because no options or daddy raped us
Lots of us are highly educated come from very respectable families. I had a terrific up bringing and university education to master level
However the freedom this job gives..

I also hate nobody wants there daughter to be an escort I'm pretty sure most parents would rather there child not clean toilets either or work in McDonald's

People work to provide food and shelter this is everyone reason

We should talk missus!

If you’re honest you probably won’t want your own daughter or son to be an escort either. For whatever reasons. Neither would I, I know it’s not a popular opinion to express on this forum.
Escorts I admire and have spoken to, most have an exit plan, a one more year, or a target figure in mind to leave the life behind and do something else. They don’t do that because life as an escort is living the dream. A lot of retirement threads show the same thing. Good luck to them all.

Because the child support agency did not go get him and I owe £1000s bringing up a child.
He can still get a loan and pay but that would mean he is a good person and not have needed a divorce.

Single mothers being crimalised because of run away sperm donors not paying their way and then laughing if mum gets discovered need to be shamed in public.

Short of money may be the route in but would not be the reason for staying - happy to say

Did you know if a Father with children in the UK leaves the UK they resolve all financial responsibility for the children they have left behind? My ex was actually offered money back when he left and I was asked if I could pay him money back. They offered him several month payments back for the time lapsed when he said he no longer wanted to pay for our child. He told me this in a sort of gloating way. I pleaded with him to take the money and give us half so I could continue to pay the mortgage and he refused as he said he didn't have a problem having paid that money as it was for the child (and yet he had stopped paying?)

CSA don't give a toss about the children and their welfare and do the bare minimum to get the money the children need to be fed and watered. I find it incredulous that a person who is still within the EU is not responsible for their children.

There are many things I wouldn't like a daughter / sister / niece of mine doing. And they're gonna do a lot of them anyway. But I tell you what - I would infinitely prefer them to be doing what they do a) in the absence of any coercion and b) safely and on their own terms. My number one fear for them as escorts / sex workers would be their safety. It is absolutely shameful that nothing is being done to make this industry safer. When will people learn that prohibition doesn't work. It only makes Al Capones of this world rich and dangerous.

You have my admiration ladies, because I think you're brave doing what you do in a country that would prefer to pretend this doesn't happen than make it safe. And you have my concern as well, because I always do wonder who the next punter in the door will be. You enrich my life at the cost of your own safety. Hats off. Pants down!

FFS it's not that dangerous!

Some of us have a career and do it for fun with no strings attached, some to pay bills, some just got sick on paying taxes, vat, rates etc ... sorry got carried away hahaha

Reminds me of the Belle and Sebastian song 'Lady Line Painter Jane' where the main protagonist looks on with envy at her friend. It's something like;

'boo to the business world, you know a girl who's tax free on her back, making plenty of cash, while you are working for the joy of giving'.

great song, and hard to argue with that sentiment.

[kaab28]

I understand your choice but you have to show some sensitivity to those who would have earned even more if they don't contribute through taxation to maintain the roads, pay for doctors,nurses etc and build the schools. Life is sometimes complex

[xagerate]

When I read the OP I was sure id be reading a list of replies telling him to f#@k off and mind his own business
Just shows that I know even less about women than I previously thought
