I am a freelance writer, based in the UK, and I am doing research on a series of articles I am preparing on the world-wide sex industry.
Of the many escort & client website communities around the world, TERB has many elements that make it especially interesting and I am keen to have contact (anonymously) with participants from both sides of the business. I plan to write a major piece centered upon TERB and how the psychology of paid sex is worked out in cyberspace, based upon my future e-discussions with some of you. I'll be submitting it to various Canadian journals for publication, but I can't guarantee that it will appear. It may be that it's published in the UK or elsewhere.
I have "lurked" for a while to gain impressions as to how the community operates. I have decided not to approach any of you directly or via a PM, but instead to invite responses to my PM address or email address from anyone who wants to comment on the issues below. Now, I won't deny that some participants' psychology intrigues me more than others', and I may approach some of you directly as this progresses, but for now, please respond as you see fit.
I promise anonymity, including my own. You fascinate me, individually and collectively, and I hope to write something incisive, thoughtful and that conveys the realities, good and bad, of the modern manifestation of the oldest profession in the world.
My questions follow below.
