Escort Stigma

[El Gordo]

In conversations like that I give my honest opinion, that as long as both parties are there voluntarily it's none of anyone else's business. Luckily I am known for having strange opinions, so no one really seems surprised by this one.

It is very awkward being an escort when these conversations crop up. I used to wonder if they knew what I was doing and the convo had been manufactured
It can be very hard to hear how people see us.
I always try and make a balanced conversation but do not get too involved.
I took a very neutral stance when in a coversation with my parents about it.
My mum thinks prostitutes are poor flea ridden scabby desperate creatures who need to be rounded up on a special bus and taken for a disinfectant bath.

Heather, your post saddens me, not just because I hate to see any barriers between family. I am saddened that anyone could think that of any profession, after all we are all human regardless of what profession we follow. I am not intending to disrespect your mother by the way!

Honestly, I reckon the majority of men that have never visited an escort and some who may even look down on the profession, if they came across this website and started to explore and read what goes on. I bet it wouldn't be long before they start visiting escorts too

It's fine to speak your mind with me so don't worry about that.
It's not just the profession. It's a general ignorance which seems to afflict that generation in this part of the country!

Some men do look down on it and prostitutes are the butt of many jokes.
When I have asked male friends if they would ever visit a prostitute, the majority who say No, give their reason as being, I would not want to have sex with someone who wouldnt be having sex with me unless I was paying her

Possibly not for this thread, but my greatest pet hate is how western society defines us by what we do for a living...second question after your name is what do you do...I am me, not what I do, I have opinions, I laugh I cry I have thoughts on nearly every subject under the sun...just because I don't have a job doesn't make me useless...or just because I sweep the streets doesn't make me stupid, it is what I have chosen.....and just because I am an escort doesn't mean I am "skanky, dirty" or whatever... in fact if truth be known the ability to meet so many different people and make them all feel good about themselves is a wonderful talent and should be recognised as such.

Ladies

Totally agree with you concerning the stigma of being an escort, all I can say is that as you can see by the profile I have only visited a few ladies. But the time I have spent is/was very personal and what the beautiful ladies do is out of this world and am extremely thankful of having you put up with all us males.
I was just reading a blog of Nina and I will let you read it, I have posted the link below, it is another aspect of your work we never ever hear about.
Please keep up the good work.

It would do some men good to go visit an escort, open their eyes and minds and make them a lot more accepting and tolerant, not just of escorts but life in general. I have met some very genuine, exceptionally strong minded and very caring ladies, who could teach most people a thing or two about values and respect
