I remember recently there was a post from a Terbite who was so attracted to a local cashier he was tempted to offer her money to sleep with him. a lot of responses came back that such an open attitude about the sex industry is fine here, but dangerous in the outside world.
Now, talk about being in a weird place. I currently work in the marketing department at a company that employs a large pool of of telemarketers. Heading for lunch today I met a co-worker in the elevator. She was crying and making it obvious. I asked her what was wrong and she said she had just been dismissed. The reason, "not meeting her minimum conversion requirements."
I offered to console her over a cup of coffee and she accepted. In our brief conversation, she revealed quite a bit about herself. She was not making it in the working world. She was tired and afraid of reverting to her former life of prostitution and softcore porn. It makes her sick to give BJs for pay, and so on. Keep in mind this is not an SP I met, or even a close friend who confides in me, but a near stranger who never shared more than a glance with me before we met.
My astonishment is that she was so freely ready to reveal this hidden side of her life, despite her regrets and shame. Perhaps it was because I resemble the age and demographic of her clientelle. She is 25, afro-carribean and dropdead gorgeous. I am 42 and resemble George Wendt -- the early years.
IMO if she had the fortitude for it she would succeed as a courtesan and rule the industry on her looks alone. In any case I did not judge her past negatively, but I did counsel her not to return to the business if she is reviled by it. My first instinct. So does this make me a hypocrite? After all, I subscribe to this hobby, so who am I to counsel someone I don't know to not work it? and how different has the world become that a conversation like this between to practical strangers is even possible?
