PatrickGC 10792 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 In all seriousness, a job similar to this was briefly considered here in Vancouver B.C. but from a disabled client perspective. The concept was a little different. To educate and empower workers to deal with disabled clientele. The idea was originally put forward by The Sex Party of Canada. The idea was to send around professional disabled clients to the variants and establishments and workers. If done correctly this could be incredibly empowering for everyone, and talk about dissolving stereotypes.

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 In all seriousness, a job similar to this was briefly considered here in Vancouver B.C. but from a disabled client perspective. That's a great idea. And frat-boy jokes aside, the Nevada folks really ought to be casting their net wider. The porn-star wannabe "reviewers" are all very well, but how much to they reflect the business's typical client? I'm no expert on this, but I can't help feeling that the brothel's number one employee is not the girl who can put on a good show with a professional stallion, but the girl who can make the average guy feel like a professional stallion. They're very different skills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatrickGC 10792 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 In need Phaedrus! People often don't realize just how much sensitivity and awareness is involved in this profession. The ability to read and understand the emotional needs of the person cannot be understated. I can personally testify that I have met some of the most sensitive and aware people who are in this line of work. They have made a tremendous difference in my life. As a matter of fact, and in all seriousness, the rest of the health-care system could take serious lessons from the people in this industry. As you pointed out, "these are very different skills" than the ones normally perceived by people. In modern-day health-care these same skills are being lost, in the name of being efficient, and that really worries me. Yet there is cause for hope: A friend of mine, who switched from this industry to traditional health care support, so impressed the instructors with their awareness and sensitivity toward patients on both the physical and emotional levels, that they were honored with an award by the health-care institution before they had even finished their practicum and were hired right off the bat. So there are people out there in the general public who really do understand these skills. There is real warmth in humanity here which needs to be acknowledged publicly and embraced by society. I feel very honored to have met the people I have. At the end of the day I'm pretty damn lucky and I will do what I can to ensure that everyone has their day in the sun and will continue to act, and speak out against the current unjust bill etc. Sorry, I became a little revved up about the issues again. I shall now climb down off my soapbox. But this industry is valid and the people in it need to be acknowledged on all levels. PatrickGC 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
