Eh. The article was so-so.

I found her responses to be too straight forward and somewhat cookie-cutter.

Also - Did she forget to mention the out-of-pocket costs for stocking up on condoms, lube, and lingerie? Nonetheless, keeping a private incall (that she does not live in)? Does she file taxes? After all, she is high-end, right?

Oh, and the last thing, I do not agree with legalizing prostitution. The market is already too glutted. Keep prostitution illegal, please. There are already a lot of women who have no business in this business. Don't need any more!

Decriminalization is the word.

Nonetheless, thanks for sharing!

Very confuse with Adrienne's response.. Condom, lube, and lingerie are burden enough to be mentioned, when you make $$-$$$$$ an hour? Items that only used when u make money.

Keep illegal and you and us can keep hiding.

Do you report your earnings on tax? Hmm...
Crazy to report when u don't need to.

Like the article.. Little knowledge about wt ladies go though and think...

Buy quality condoms in bulk, buy quality lube in gallons, and buy quality lingerie that will last than just after two rounds of sex. After you do that, tell me how much it cost ya. If it only tallies up to $20, you're not doing something right. If it tallies up to $2000, then you're not doing something right either.

If you giving/receiving money in exchange for adult companionship, then fear not.

Last time I looked, escorting is a legitimate business. In Fact - An escorting license is even required in Phoenix.

So, which one are you? Most smart people pick the latter.

BUT - Should it be a punishable crime/offense for people to sell their own bodies in order to make a living for themselves? Hmm. Did you know that a woman can get a job to be a test dummy for a gynecologist in training? Hah!

Now, maybe if the money was in an off-shore tax haven . . . that question could would've had a different answer.

In short: yeah, nothing confusing about it if you've ever had to manage consumables in a business.

[edit] And yeah, even if you're doing something illegal the smartest thing you can do is report at least some earnings and pay taxes. Not doing so is like career suicide.
