When Caroline Newcastle first posted a photo of herself on an escort website four years ago, she wore a green dress.

Then 23 years old and studying for an undergraduate degree in Quebec City, she was nervous. She had never traded sex for money, and the encounter wasnâ??t exactly what she was hoping for.

Caroline, who uses a pseudonym, was half naked within five minutes. The sex lasted the full hour she had negotiated. She felt it was too formal, too black and white. But it was work, she figured, and once she counted her money, she decided it wasnâ??t so bad.

Carolineâ??s second experience, a two-hour visit with a client, was better.

â??We talked for an hour, had a glass of wine, he was really nice and well educated and we really got along well â?? and the sexual experience was much better,â? she said.

Now 27, the well-spoken, educated girl-next-door-looking Caroline is pursuing a PhD at an Ottawa university â?? and earning a living in the sex industry.

But she worries about her safety and the safety of her friends if Canadaâ??s new prostitution law passes.

â??Itâ??s devastating,â? she says.

This is one of the comments in the comments section for this article:

[QUOTE]gayedalton Guest â?¢ a day ago
I can't get it to play for me right now but, in my experience, almost every former sex worker claiming to be traumatised by her experience is some kind of fraud. Not because nobody is ever traumatised, but rather because those who are move on in a healthy way and leave it behind them.

Even so, why should I be harassed and persecuted for something that *SOMEBODY ELSE* found traumatic? Should we criminalise everything I ever found traumatic just in case it might traumatise someone else?[/QUOTE]

gaye is a former sex worker, who is an avid anti-abolitionist anti-NGO rescue project person, and has a blog regarding mythbuster, about different sex work myths. She was an unhappy sex worker, but vigorously defends the rights of adult consensual workers to give that consent and hates the people trying to take that choice from them.

she has other comments posted in the article. :)
