Thank for posting this Berlin - so bang on. I have one to add: "Ill bet you deal with a lot of creeps" ... "have you had any bad things happen to you" [in your work]? "You must have some real doozies... I can't even imagine..." I wish I could say these things are only said to me once in a while, but it happens constantly... and not even at a level of frequency where I could just weed out a few people to not see again... from first time clients, to ongoing and otherwise valued regular clients; it is ramped. This behaviour is incredibly patronizing and voyeuristic has more to do with clients attempting to soothe their own moral difficulties with seeing escorts... to raise their status as "good", "respectable", "well-meaning", when, in fact, this is experienced as demeaning and inappropriate to the nature of the professional context. Asking or inferring that an escort should detail experiences of abuse and violence creates a sense of violation in itself. We suck it up and are compelled to have to humour it all too often in order to keep the tone and flow of a date positive, but we experience it as a burden. If you are sincere in caring about the safety and well-being of people in this industry, (barring taking to the streets to demand change, and we know why that is made difficult in this culture) do something meaningful: donate to your local sex workers rights organization, contribute to dialogue on the issues (on boards like this and elsewhere)... be the kind of client you know we need you to be; in all of your words and actions.

I'm back in Kingston now after enjoying a wonderful tour to your City. And, true to form, it was you Gentlemen of Lyla that made it so great. The sense of generosity and thoughtfulness you showed me was top notch, and the excitement building to moments shared, mutually contagious. My flirty, heartfelt thanks goes out to you. The future is ripe with possibility for more steamy goodness; of stolen moments... of pleasure for the taking. And, we will take it, won't we. See you in October, ox Anna

Qualifying an Indigenous woman's body in such a way is demeaning and racist. No sweet way to put it. Check yourself.
