Massagegirl: "stigmata" means spontaneous mysterious bleeding from the hands or other body parts; kinda seen as being possessed, a candidate for sainthood, crazy, or touched by God. I hope this doesn't happen in your massages.
Perhaps you meant "stigma".
I really don't see any practical difference between marriage & prostitution, except that the latter is more honest. I love the show "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?" because it for once showed an accurate picture of what marriage is all about: women chosen for their outward appearance (primitive signs of good health/ability to bear many children), men chosen for their control of resources & ability to supply security (however that is defined by the culture).
To say that most SP's didn't envision their career at 6 or 16 is really silly.
I didn't foresee mine, not unlike many people.
If everyone did what they wanted to be at 6, we'd be a world of ballerinas, firemen, beauty queens, fairy princesses, & super heroes!
The best SP's & pornstars are people who genuinely love sex, & for whom the money is merely a bonus. If not for the $ they'd probably be doing the same thing.
I'll bet SP's who are in control of their lives (no drugs/addictions/pimps/no coersion) are as together psychologically as anyone.
