Please feel free to add any positive comments on here and the You Tube site 🙂
There’s more to come when I sort out my video blog. I’m getting some help from a neighbour this week with how to film, and then get my clips on You Tube…. sooooo watch this space!
Anybody got any tips on how to maximise views on You Tube?
hi huni.,
face book and myspace can be good for that.,
hope your well., i still have to finish your book, i can rellate to it so much., xxx
thank you Dominique, I’ll look into those 🙂
I just looked at your “the other side” interview. You say that prostitutes have no self-respect, how can you be so condescending? Women like us have to hold together, not stigmatize and shame each other even further. I understand that you want to distance yourself from Prostitution, it’s a really ugly word with bad associations, but what it actually means- sex for money- is nothing bad.
Greetings from an Escort who doesn’t think she’s better than other sex workers, and has plenty of self-respect.
Oh dear, that’s not what I said. I’m sorry that you have misunderstood. I was discussing the street prostitute they showed on the clips. Maybe you need to listen to the whole programme to get the jist of it.
These clips all 7-8 of them are about a debate show called the Other Side and the topic was lust. The debate was whether prostitution should be legalized. I am obviously pro legalising prostitution, so we’re on the same side!
However what happened was they interviewed me, and then a street worker, and they were trying to say that prostitution should not be legalised because they said it was all the same and tried to pigeon hole me in the same box as the street worker.
You completely missed my point, I wasn’t trying to say I was better than her because I didn’t walk the street, I was saying that we can’t all be pigeon holed, and I was/am different to her, because she was a drug user forced to work on the street, probably by her pimp, earning a pittance and funding a habit.
The street worker said she felt disgusted with herself after having sex with the men she saw. I said I was different because I didn’t feel disgusted with myself after an escort date.
People who are in sex work to fund drug habits lose their self respect. It’s a fact. Because they don’t enjoy what they are doing, don’t want to be doing it, but feel there is no other way to earn money because no one will give a job to a junkie. They hate themselves and the men they see. I am the opposite to her. I hope this clarifies my views.
You enjoy your work, I enjoyed mine, and there are many happy sex workers with lots of self respect, and this is why I contributed to the debate to show ‘the other side’ – that many of us sex workers have self respect. I wrote my book to show that for some women this is a career choice made with a sound mind. I feel very strongly about breaking the stigma attached to people in the industry.
Nobody is better than anyone in this world, we are all different. Prostitutes, escorts, porn actresses are all in the sex industry and neither are above or beneath the other.
Ok, then I’m happy to have misunderstood you.
I just added more to the post I wrote before Sina, because I was rushing… you might want to take a reread 🙂
