But then why is giving a gal a gold ring not the same? Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

According to Webster:
Prostitute.

To kusmaldo: I applaud your having put significant thought into closing an expansive chapter in your life story. Thanks for your post.
I want to add my history relating to the input from yourdesire: Same here. No bf or partner was involved in my entry into hobby-land. No ceoersion, entrapment, violence, or other cruelties. I'm lucky, & so is yourdesire.My 1st transaction was unexpected. I was single, still wanted sex with someone besides myself, but found dating was a fail. Guys seemed to panic once we slept together. It's like they assumed I wanted to have a LTR. Umm, no. I truly just wanted adult fun now & again.
Then... I had met a man I'd never met before for a casual hookup. A good time was had. As I was leaving his apartment, wordlessly, he slipped a Ben Franklin in my hand.
Fifteen years later, I still remember how I felt on the quiet walk down the corridor to exit the building. The smile grew on my face when I recognized that gift was extraordinary. That neatly folded bill instantly eliminated the trappings of pointless social norms like polite follow-up calls, both parties definitively agreed there were no expectations for contact. Add'l visits to his apartment? A yes or no was just a yes or no. No head trips. Hello Hobby-land!

Regarding unique_carpenter & Garfunkel : I agree. In my primary mainstream profession, I've spent many a coffee break with women colleagues (typically married) that occasionally made casual jests about how 'the hubby finally took the trash out w/o nagging, ha ha , since last night that same hubby rec'd a oh-so-rare bj'. I've stifled many a internal urge to speak out on how that is also a form of SW. It's just socially uncomfortable to recognize that 'rose' still is a 'rose'. The difference is the terms for payment for service is unspoken. Those colleagues never acknowledge it's the same d@mn thing.

yes I came into this of my own accord...I am a natural born slut lol

I was working in a tiity bar as a waitress in my 20's and tried stripping,but cant dance.soooo ooolallahhh I decided this type of work would suit me best... my SO and I have always been sexually open,so he said "hell yeahhh do it!"
I love what I do and who I do and love the income too lol

I guess I will retire when they pry that last di&k outta my cold dead hands/mouth lol

-Mental Health- I've met (and currently) have seen many pros who have mental health issues due to the stress that providing has caused them.

Drug Addiction- I've met many who have serious drug addiction issues

Crime- Many are more than likely to commit some sort of financial crime or fraud when things are slow or the opportunity arises.

When are you actually quitting is this post like a 30 day notice? Because this thread is ongoing.

BD, I don’t think he is done rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic just yet.
