Posted on: Bewildered, academics pore over sex-trade hysteria

Dr. Brents and Dr. Hausbeck are not only meticulous scholars but are also remarkable people who fight for social justice. Take a look at their record.
I admire them for their commitment to study and understand sex-work and the people who choose it, but mostly for their commitment to justice and equality for all.
Thank you Michael for a well written, sensible argument. And thank you Abigail for a no-nonsense, enlightening article.

Posted on: Bewildered, academics pore over sex-trade hysteria

It is quite amusing to read what people think about my job.
Many of you are sympathetic and tolerant and I thank you for that.
I became a sex worker by choice. I ran a very successful business for ten years. With my earnings, I funded my education and my travels around the world.
Perhaps accepting a job that made me feel intellectually annihilated while earning minimum wage would have been a more "respectable" choice. However, I did not choose it as I saw it as prostitution of the spirit.
Today I have a nice house in suburbia, I am happily married, a mother of two and I work at home as a writer. And yes, my husband knows what I used to do for living.
Watch out GOD…I might be your next door neighbor! And you would never know by looking at me, I guarantee it.
