And they certainly won't know how to travel through their girlfriends bloodstream to rest in her heart :)

Great reco WIT! Nikki is pretty amazing (I totally have a crush!).

What bothers me more is that media and others pick up on these so called "stats" and then publish them as fact. And the general person isn't about to go check the actual research to find out that it was totally biased, and skewed toward a certain result. This is the reason why the majority of people still think sex trafficking is a huge issue. I can't remember where I read this stat, so I can't back it up (I think it was on Laura Agustin's blog, the Naked Anthropologist, which is currently my favourite blog), but only about 4% of trafficking cases are for sex. I made a really excellent argument in the comments section of the Xtra article talking about the prohibitionists attacking the pro-sex work panels at Women's Worlds and hurling verbal abuse at us (I personally was called a racist whore) (http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=245124#post245124)about how in February 500 Indian workers were trafficked after Hurricane Katrina to work in shipyards and they're making a formal complaint to the state about it, and yet no one is saying that we should abolish shipyard labour. Again and again, what it comes down to is sex. These women are convinced that sex work is the exploitation of women, but if both parties have a dick, who's doing the exploiting? "'Exploitation' evokes a zero-sum game: one person gains at the expense of the other. However, prostitution--and especially male prostitution--is almost always a commercial transaction in which both parties agree on a price beforehand. The exploitation argument seems to rest on the spurious claim that women find sex unpleasant, and that any women who engages in it for reasons other than love is having something taken from her, no matter what fee she commands. In comparison, consider the same transaction between two men. Who is exploiting whom? Is it the client, who has the financial ability to buy sex from a younger man with (presumably) less financial freedom, or is it the conventionally attractive hustler, who cashes in on the fact that he's younger and more desireable than the client? Whose erect penis represents the "weaker sex"?" (Julian Marlow, "It's Different for Boys" in Whores and other Feminists ed. Jill Nagle. pp 141-42). Of course, prohibitionists arguments fall to pieces once men and trans individuals are included in the mix.

The comments section on the article is being taken over by prohibitionists who are trying to downplay the entire incident by saying it was a "disagreement" and "hyperbole." If anyone else could post some positivity I'd appreciate it. Or if any of the ladies could post, if only to show that I'm not in the minority as a sex worker who willingly chose this occupation.

Aww, now I've got a flat head!

Ok, so I'm obviously not old, but you know you're old when you make references to the Chicken Lady, Sir Simon Milligan and his man-servant Hecubus, and the Sizzler Sisters and your fellow classmates ask what you're talking about. Kids in the Hall people, watch it!

From a strictly work point of view, I love my job because I answer to no one, I work when I want to work, and I charge what I feel I'm worth! But I also love this job because it allows me to meet people I'd normally never come across in my day-to-day. I enjoy hearing other people's perspectives on things, which is partly why I spend so much time on CERB as well! I'm a bit of an anthropologist at heart--I like learning what makes people tick and what gets them off, and why. I also love my job because I'm doing something to help other people. Pleasure in and of itself is a worthwhile endeavour and I wish more people realized this. Not everyone falls within the margins of the erotically entitled, and for some, it is almost impossible for them to get themselves off without help(e.g. people with disabilities, various illnesses, etc). Just being able to be close to someone is a much needed service. We're social creatures! And of course, I really like sex!

Oh these are funny! My ideal client ad would read: --respectful --arrives on time, with full amount --doesn't haggle, negotiate or ask "how much for a quick bbbj?" --has showered! --clips his fingernails! --creative, open-minded and carnal --knows his way around a clitoris xo

You totally beat me to it! As one of the people who was quoted for this article, and who was at Women's Worlds as both a volunteer and activist, I'm STILL upset about it.

I'm going to second what SA said about the ladies being available after 2pm. I'm working with the Playgirls this summer and am usually on call from 7pm to 1 or 2am. Sometimes later. So, I definitely end up sleeping very late in the day. Also, since regular business hours are from 7pm-5am, if you'd like to make a date to see one of us during the day, you'd have to email her in advance, as SA did.

I don't really watch much porn, but when I do I like the little clips from Sex and Submission (http://www.bdsmmpegs.net/sexandsubmission.php) They're like 10 seconds, but I don't need much to get me going. Then I just rub my clit until I explode. This is, of course, if none of my fuck friends is available. ;)

I've actually done this before and find it incredibly erotic. It really doesn't drip that much and it isn't hard to get out of your hair (at least I've never had problems). Now I'm all hot and bothered from thinking about it.

Way to go Mom *wink* Don't stop now! xox

Way to go! Keep those posts coming! xo

I'd also like to point out that even those of us who offer bbbj's are happy to provide safe services as well. I've got no issue if you ask me to use a condom for a blowjob, or a dental dam for cunnilingus. I get tested regularly and haven't had any issues thus far.

Haha, ok, so this is basically the biggest lie I've ever told. For years my parents thought I was unemployed (they did my taxes), so when I started escorting and suddenly had 3 grand to go to Europe for two months, I told them that I had won money at the casino. I've never even been in a casino, let alone won money at one.

I should try and find the clip, but someone showed me some tentacle porn where they had actually put together an animatronic tentacle for this woman to fuck. It was so weird.

I think part of the reason I enjoy facials so much is because I love watching a dude shoot his load.

Woot. I've been part of an orgy. But I have never experienced double penetration! (yet)

Mainstream porn--that is, the kind that depicts the woman as loving every second of being penetrated for ages and ages. Half the time you can tell they're dry and it just looks awful. The guys are ugly and I can't even imagine wanting to have sex with any of them. I like porn that shows real women, having real orgasms, with partners who both give and receive and vice versa. And the giving is genuine, not those hideous looking porn-licks passing as cunninlingus. Oh and I totally don't get tentacle porn.

Either Busty Vanessa or Tiffany Amber are also a safe GFE, but I can't remember which, so you'll have to double check. I think it's Vanessa, but it's too early for me...my brain is mush.

I posted this because there is a lot of exceptionalism and sensationalism going on in the media with regards to trafficking. As well, a few of the stats that anti-prostitution groups like to throw around, are NOT generalizeable to all sex workers, but they'll quote them as if they apply to everyone. This is why it's so so so important when reading research to check the methodology. Who did they talk to? What questions were asked? How were participants recruited? Etc.

I skimmed through these and the only ones I knew for sure were 3 and 6. I probably could have guessed a couple more.
