I’ve met more people who are proud sex workers then I have people who are proud fast food employees.

I think that perhaps you are letting your disgust for a person’s work color how you feel about the person. Do you feel the same about athletes and actors? They also “sell their bodies”.

Ok I worked at Walmart for 11 years does that mean my self worth is minimum wage? I don’t think so. My worth after I’m gone will be determined by the people who loved me and I honestly won’t care,what with me being dead and all.

If I thought I could make enough money from doing sex work your damn right I would and I would be more proud of that then my work at retail or a defense contractor or a member of the military.

Sex work is work and as long as everyone concents rock the fuck on.

I’m 55 and can honestly say I am more happy today then I have ever been in the past, not because of money or lots of friends but because I have learned a lot about myself in the last 10 years.

My wife has an irrational fear of slugs, like completely locked up and shaking if she sees one. We have spent 20 years together trying to figure out where her phobia came from.

She is in therapy now and was talking through it with her therapist and the therapist asked “what do you fear will happen” my wife told her all the images that flash in her mind when she thinks about slugs. Turns out the therapist is a big horror movie fan and knew of a movie where those exact things happened.

Well about the time that the movie came out on VHS my wife was being watched by an abusive relative who liked to rent scary movies and force her to watch them.

In the 80s we figured we would be abducted, if not that, it would be quicksand that got us, and if that failed,we would spontaneously combust, and if all else failed the hole in the ozone layer would destroy all life on earth. We were so concerned with all that happening that we all became kinda apathetic.

I grew up in the times of “look at me when I talk to you” and would get in trouble for “looking past the person”. So I developed an ability to make eye contact while unfocusing my eyes. Turns out if you make eye contact long enough people get uncomfortable and look away thereby letting you relax.
