I read the article, and while it was very interesting, I feel she shared far too much information about the clients.  I'm certain from the info she gave, everyone in that small town knows who those guys are she described in great detail.  I do like that she shared info so folks would realize who all an escort will see (autistic one was great for that).  It brings it home how humanizing having access to sexual outlets is.  I just think those guys may be having a rough life about now, is all.

I hear your concern for the clients' identities and it's important to put this in the context of this being a totally legal activity in New Zealand - and I think the world would be a better place if more countries had this approach. There is every possibility that the details provided have been altered to help protect the clients (maybe they don't need any 'protection' and, if they do. then they've perhaps got other greater concerns for their relationsships!) without diminishing the truth or import of the article.

I often read comments by gentlemen that they're worried about 'meeting someone they know' as they enter or leave a massage establishment.... phuff!, buddy you both were at the same place for the same reason. :)

The stigma this industry faces will not be dying any time soon but I appreciated that the article took a strong step in countering it.

For me it's important that searching online "does sex work objectify women" provides this as a first result: http://www.inquiriesjournal.com/articles/28/a-feminists-argument-on-how-sex-work-can-benefit-women.

great essay

People in general need to get over the idea that what they want doesn't have to extend to everyone else.  If someone feels this industry is not for them, they should look elsewhere for a career.  If a man or woman either likes this line of work, or feels that the benefits out weight the distaste, then here's a viable option.    There are plenty of jobs we do and the reality is, most people wouldn't do their job without the pay.   Why is this treated so differently?   There's no logical reasons, just fear and prejudice.

I like this article, very common sense, and in particular: 

“morality provides no sound basis for law, as people governed by laws cannot possibly all share the same moral beliefs...

...In order for sex work to be treated as a legitimate form of work, society needs to step away from our Puritan views on sexuality and human nature.”
