Dreamon, first off, no hard feelings, I’m on the floor here at the thought of me being a priest, I would be the narlyest lookin' priest you ever saw, I’m more bull in a china shop then bishop in a pulpit, thanks for the laugh. I’m actually pretty anti organized religion myself, I don’t see why people can’t just practice their faith in their own way without having to sign up to what frankly I think is a load of bulls**t and dogma that goes with it. I can see how you may have come to the conclusions you arrived at, but you’ve arrived at the polar opposite I’m afraid. I could have worded it better, so I want to clarify what I mean by a promise I made, It has nothing to do with vows or such, I did not make a promise to the church or any organization, I simply made it to a Parent, near to their deathbed, not to treat anyone as they were treated. If I paint a picture of a bohemian lifestyle, then it is only a picture of my worklife, I have not make reference to my personnel life for the same reasons all of ye or Escorts don’t, its none of our businesses. I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that my discovery of this place somehow opened the gates as you suggest, the gates have long since been open and indeed kicked of their hinges. They just open into a different pasture then this one. I simply meant any Man with a pulse would be mad not to be tempted by the stunning array of beauty here as I had always equated Women in this arena as having taken or been forced to take this path because of other circumstances and scenario’s, other then the simple fact that they want to, and I am relieved that that is the case here for many, although maybe not for all.
And I would say that to assume that a Man who has concern for the betterment of things for Woman must be Gay is a bit narrow minded, God help us all if that’s the case, I don’t care if anyone thinks I am, but for the record I’m not, if I can invoke a religious quote, I am of the opinion that it is better to giveth then to receive in this respect. (Except for my dalliance with username Marijauna, he was my first as an Escort after all, and he made me feel alllllll Women
). I do agree that Women may find it easier to confide in a Gay friend as I guess the sexual aspect is out of the equation, but even though I’m hetero all the way, I have female platonic friends that have told me things that quite frankly surprised me in their candor, one told me not very long into knowing each other of when she was attacked and very nearly raped once, and I asked her why she was telling me something so traumatic, and she didn’t really know why, but I was touched by her trust in me. So you don’t have to walk funny to be a confidant necessarily.
I do take offense at the quasi remark as I don’t think even a ncb type has had something as offensive as that thrown at him when he vented his spleen at an Escort, when all I’ve done is be friendly to people who were friendly to me, male or female, which is what I do in life generally. I thought it was a bit strong that’s all.
To Rory, I don’t feel I had a hard life at all, its my Parent that had the hard life, and I would re live it all again in a heartbeat as I now know the steps I should have taken to arrive at a different outcome a lot sooner. But you do not put in the time that I did, and be forced to do the things that I did without coming away with some pretty strong views on matters relating to a Woman’s right to choose her own path in every part of her life, that is why I took an interest here to find out if they were in control in this lifestyle, as it always concerned me but never had the opportunity to find out direct from them themselves, and I have been convinced that yes many are. And in relation to over analyzing, you have a point, I do to an extent, but its that which kept me sane when immersed in a madhouse as I always step back and break everything down to the simplest common denominator and look at things objectively, and its not that I’m touchy about the jobs I do, its just I’ve been told time and again that I could and should do more and join the rat race by my peers, but they don’t get that I’m happy with my lot, and what I lose materially, I more then gain in other ways.
To Paws, thanks for the kind words, and if you feel I’ve made some sort of contribution then I take that as a real complement, but there’s not much more I can add here I don’t think, and I don’t feel comfortable posting here anymore if I’m going to be labeled as, or thought of as something worse to my mind as an Ncb type. I wouldn’t care if it came from some loony tune, but it came from someone who I feel talks a lot of sense from what I’ve read of him. I can’t help being open, honest or pay a compliment when warranted, I’ve been those things all my life and am not going to change at this stage. I’ve been an interloper here long enough and have arrived at a frightening number of posts in a short enough time, but have enjoyed it. But I’ll take a time out for a while and might parachute in the odd smart arsed comment or god forbid a compliment now and again, but have no real right to butt in to the extent that I have.
To anyone thinking I’m Father Ted, I’m more this…
