The Rescuers

[Sweet Emily J 172062]

If anyone interested in the all-encompassing subject of whoredom has not yet paid a visit to a very popular sex-work blog called [URL="http://maggiemcneill.wordpress.com/about/"][B]The Honest Courtesan[/B][/URL], I suggest you do so immediately. Written by a retired call girl, Maggie McNeill is a brilliant writer.

This particular article is a few years old, but I just came across it today and wanted to share. I think the part with the comparison to a boxer/bouncer/bodybuilder is so on point.

[I]Every whore who has worked for more than a few weeks has met them: The ones who want to â??saveâ? us. They come in four main types, but theyâ??re all characterized by the same delusion that sex work is â??degradingâ?, â??disgustingâ?, â??filthyâ?, â??sinfulâ?, etc, and the same unwavering belief that we all really want to be out of it no matter what we say or how eloquently we say it. Some of them really do believe that weâ??re victims, so their efforts are earnest albeit wrongheaded; others just want to use us as pawns to further their agenda, whatever it may be. But all of them are characterized by the bizarre yet prevalent notion that sex is somehow intrinsically different from every other human activity even when it has no chance of resulting in pregnancy.[/I]
