Rok: I agree with you that a lot do feel this way. I was just saying I think it is less than it seems, and note Violet said the same thing before I did. And I agree wholeheartedly with Violet's comment above also.
The numbers will go up the shorter she's been working though I think. There are a lot of girls that last only a few months and there is a reason they don't stick around. The responses from ladies on this board are going to be skewed...there is a reason we've been working longer than 2 months and are on these boards advertising ourselves. Most of us love our job.
So I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm dismissive. Not at all. Some girls can't handle it and they shouldn't be here but you know, I worked at a Money Mart once and I felt like the spawn of Satan. Seeing how people would get a cash advance, and then when they got their paycheque they'd have to get another because once they paid the 30% fee they couldn't afford rent, etc. I worked there for 6 weeks and saw many people stuck in this cycle coming by every 2 weeks. I felt aweful, it messed with my morals and I couldn't stay. I would imagine I felt just as sick and awful about work as the girls that shouldn't be selling sex. But selling sex does not mess with my morals at all so it IS a viable job to me
The original point was that most of us find it really offensive and hypocritical when a client implies there is something wrong with doing this job and I'll stick to that. I think a lot of girls volunteer the info, without being asked, because they have MANY many clients who imply this and it can start to wear on their self confidence. If several people tell you all the time you are ugly aren't you going to start believing it? Same thing if you hear at least once a week that the job you do is not something you should be proud of. But I suppose that is beside the point, it doesn't matter the reason girls feel like this in the long run, what matters is that they do and yes, you're right about that, there are a lot that do. But I agree with Violet that I think some girls just say this, and I also think some girls probably felt okay about this work when they first started (otherwise why would they have started?) and then the stigma and situations like this start to get to them.
But in the end I also think it doesn't matter how a girl does or does not feel about their job, it is hypocritical for a client to imply something like this in this or any industry in which they are a participating member. Not to mention offensive and potentially hurtful.
