I do not believe I actually sell my body.. though some of my clients may believe that is what they are paying for.
I believe I sell an EXPERIENCE. I sell my time.. in which I offer my client a sexual (or other) experience that is unlike what he usually has had in his 'normal' life.
I sell an opportunity to receive a talented sensual encounter that can give sensations one may have never had before.
I see myself as an expert..
If my daughter saw herself this way, I would not feel bad at all with her doing this work. Being an expert at giving someone a great experience is a wonderful thing! The good feelings I've had with clients, the great sexual highs.. they are HEALTHY!
Should she be in the business for the wrong reasons, and did not enjoy what she did, it would not at all be something I would want her to do.
It really is all about WHY one is in this industry.. and how they feel about it personally.
I do also believe that the worst part of this business is the way the general public view it. The mob mentality and hate-on they have for us is the most detrimental thing we have to deal with. We may sweep it under the rug, but it is always there... and we isolate ourselves from society because of it. With good community with other providers, it is possible to truly enjoy this work and live in peace with what we do.
Btw, that was a wonderful post, April!!!
