Im going to see a counsellor on Tuesday next week but im just looking for peoples views on another one of my personal issues.
I have been a sex worker on and off for 8years. I have only ever worker in legal, upmarket establishments. Ive never been a street worker OR addicted to drugs. I live a drug free life.
I really enjoy my job. I never wake up on a monday morning and groan because i have to work. I wake up with a smile on my face and cant wait to get there!
Many sex workers end up in the industry after being abused/raped by men. They do it as a sign of taking their power back. Alot also do it to support their drug habits. I on the other hard have fallen into it for none of these reasons. I started it because the idea of it completely turned me on.
Im not only a sex release for my clients but im also like a counsellor. Most of my clients have their own personal issues and thats why they see me. With 70% of them, i dont even sleep with them. They just want female interaction.
Some people ask me how i can enjoy seeing fat old, yukky looking men and to be honest, they might do just one thing that turns me on and then i start thinking about how gross they are and believe it or not but it turns me on even more. When im at work i feel like i have a purpose.
Dont get me wrong, i am not an idiot. Im quite a smart person, Working in the sex industry for me helps my addiction - sex.
I love my job...is that ok? what are your thoughts? ( im asking i kinda want an idea what the counsellor might say)
I don't think that its wrong to enjoy your work, but you're putting yourself in a very dangerous situation.
Getting into a job to satisfy an addiction isn't healthy. That's just going to make things worse and never get the issue resolved.
You do definitely need to see a counselor.
Yes i am a legal prostitute. No it is not a dangerous situation. Im not walking the streets being picked up by random men. Im in a controlled establishment that caters t a certain group of individuals.
I do the job for 3 reasons. 1) i love sex and sexual attention. 2)dealing with people and helping people in an intimate situation makes me feel good. 3) Money - i work approx 3-4days a week and make about $2500-$6000 a week.
This will sound very crass, but knowing the person iside of me, i feel that i would rather be a whore than a slut..i that makes sense.. cos either way, i like to sleep with different people. Doing it this way, im safe
The oldest profession will never want for clientele,that's for sure.
There is nothing inherently wrong with prostitution provided you have the mental and emotional strength to deal with it.
If you love your job than why are you seeking counseling?
I don't get it personally.If someone was unattractive and unclean,I would be repulsed.
Are you perhaps just psyching yourself into believing it is never distasteful to you?
I hope you are planning for a future and saving your money or investing it as this is not something you will be able to do until your 60.I would imagine clients start to fall by the wayside after the 50 yr.mark.
(Btw, the counselor will not judge you--if this is a real counselor, but will want to make sure you are emotionally, physically, and mentally secure in what you are doing.)
