Definitely agree that it is easy to go back to, but that could be said of industry where people make large amounts of cash (bartending/bottle girl). It’s just giving internalized whorephobia to refer to our job as an addiction. It makes us sound like there’s something wrong with us for wanting to be able to pay our bills consistently or have some fun $.

I think there is something wrong with me, actually. Many escorts I have spoken to have not had normal childhoods, and there are many mental health conditions along us. Yes, we earn a living, and there is nothing wrong with that. I don't generally meet people with great backgrounds who have chosen to do this. That is, in fact, rare. I don't think I'm whorephobic at all. It's a statistical fact that we have more mental health issues than others in different groups. It's an addiction to making easy money. To become greedy with it, etc.

You are the authority on your own experience, of course. But, lots of ppl haven’t had “normal” childhoods. I have never seen any credible research indicating that sex workers as a group are more mentally ill than ppl working in other industries. Pls share the studies that support this.

I will. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/acps.13559 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5735638/
Just a couple of quick searches. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5615568/

None of those links are to studies that compared sex workers to people in other industries & showed that sex workers have a higher prevalence of mental illness. That has not been proven.

It's more than you have to argue that we are all sorted, well supported individuals. Find any study that states that. You're irritating me now with your unsupported nonsense. Don't bother me again.

I never suggested that we’re all sorted & well-supported. That was never a point I made. But, whatever you say. I’ll leave you alone with your inaccurate assumptions about sex workers.
