You are a really a smart and intellectual person but why did you choose this path as a sex worker though I mean why sell your body to someone else? I think you can do something greater than that. No hate though I respect you sis but I’m just kinda curious why you chose this path when you are so smart and all
I was with you until you used that pivotal word, ‘but’, and now I have to give an answer that you probably won’t like.
Contrary to popular belief, many sexworkers are highly educated and intellectual individuals. It’s almost as if we’re regular human beings who are contributing and functioning members of society. Shocking, I know, but I digress.
Let me correct you. I sell a service, an experience, and my time; NOT my body or my very being.
Since you know my life so well; what, pray tell, do you think I should be doing? Tell me about myself so I can take some notes.
Since you want to be so technical, let’s get into it; shall we?
When someone pays for sex, they’re buying sex. They don’t suddenly gain ownership of a woman’s body any more than any other man who sleeps with any other woman does; but if that’s the case by your logic, then I sure do own a few powerful men.
If I sleep with someone, I don’t “give away” my body. Another shock, my body is no one’s but my own, no matter who I have sex with; I retain the right to do what I like with it, and to give or refuse consent as I wish.
Talking about selling a body rather than a service implies a permanent state of affairs. It leads to the belief that consenting to sex on one occasion means that consent is automatic from then on. If you haven’t caught on yet, then let me spoon-feed you and let you know that is a very bad thing to believe. I am autonomous when it comes to my body and my being.
So let me flip the script and ask you. Does your body and being belong to the person/people that you’ve engaged with?
And if you’re still under the misguided belief that I “sell myself”, then I urge you to analyze and determine whether you at any point in your life have ever participated in capitalism. I’ll make it easy for you and tell you that the answer is yes, and since the answer is yes, then congratulations! You’ve sold yourself, too.
Essentially what you’ve done is equated the services I provide to my actual being, which means you’re implying that’s all I’m worth. Believe me when I say that sexwork will get me to where I WANT to be and is my proverbial elevator up to the top. I’m sorry that you can’t understand that. But that’s okay.
Your question may have been well-intended, but I’m too far gone these days to really give much of a flying fuck about what anyone — especially a stranger on the internet — thinks, so I’m sure someone else will find it quite offensive.
With that said, thank you for your insult under the guise of a compliment.
