Would your opinion or position change IF?

My mom is of the same mind as Ava's and Skylar's. While not her first choice, she understands that I'm doing work that suits me, makes me happy and fills a need in the world. Her concern is for my safety alone - and that as much because of the travel I do as with the work I chose.

I grew up knowing that she was for legalization, didn't see anything really wrong with the profession and had a good understanding of the motivations behind more societally sanctioned forms of transactional sex but didn't think escorting was a path worthy of much respect. She's changed her mind on that last part; I'm fortunate in that regard.

I think that questions like these appeal to a few instinctive and conditioned desires: having successful and respected children, keeping them safe, and guarding daughters' sexuality. As understandable as these urges are I was raised with the core value of making my own choices and know that if I had children I would raise them the same way.

As long as they were making choices for the right reasons and practicing the profession ethically and with a good head on their shoulders, I wouldn't worry (too much).

I would have to say I would not like her choice of a profession. However, I would come to terms with it as long as she's safe and not living off of daddy's money.

It is great to have such a open relationship with your parents, But I think your situation would be rare. Originally Posted by Milehigh65

It is rare, and I am blessed with that. I could never, ever tell my other relatives that because again they would blame my parents like " What did you do to fuck your daughter up and she chose to be an escort?"

And that being said, I would NEVER encourage a female relative or friend ( or if I had a daughter) to go into escorting. It's hard on the psyche, emotionals,and soul at times, and while the money is superb, there is a price to be paid for everything. I've been single for many years because I have not had the energy in any way to get involved with a civvie man. My choice to be an escort stemmed from a long fascination with reading books and articles about how much money they made, from movies I saw on tv ( such as the Mayflower Madam) . When I see these ads for mother/daughter duos I often wonder...are they really mother and daughter or just advertising something attention-getting and taboo?

Brattiness had nothing to do with it. Too many bad items on both sides of the family so I decided early on not to pass on those genetic traits. Originally Posted by pyramider

I never had or have any maternal instincts, love my independence and solitude as an only child, and have no desire to raise someone for the next 18 years. I readily admit I'm selfish that way. And it's better to KNOW you don't want kids because there's so many parents out there who should NOT have kids, and guess where they end up...foster care, abused, neglected, dead, or in jail.

Good question.

I don't know what I would do. I don't have any kids, I would be pretty pissed, however I would support her.

I think most of us would be reluctant, and the truth be told I don't that I would be supportive.... Tough question and it is all a guess unless you actually are put in that position.

I think this is a very difficult and thankless job at times. And the thought of my daughter(which I don't have) sucking some fat rude bastards dick would turn my stomach. There's a reason so many chicks come and go. This isn't as easy as just sucking dick. There is a mental toll. And I would worry about that.

I'd be concerned if my parents supported me doing this.

Edit: No comment.

20 years from now you never know, hobbying a bit on the side may be as common and mainstream as folk with tax knowledge offering services to do returns. Free enterprise.

In the year 2030 some women may rationalize - "I'm not a virgin, I've been dissapointed with men, I've had multiple sex partners, what is holding me back?" And hobby a bit for spending money.

My suggestion is to surround the kids with as much "anti-prostitution" doctrine as possible. Forget the hypocrisy because genetics are a bitch - you can fight it all you want but at times that shit wins out unless there are dynamic circumstances involved. For instance me, if I found true love before discovering what hobbying is in my late 20's I would have no desire for this.

[Note to add: IMHO, every job has its pluses and minuses. You work in a restaurant, you get free food, the hours are a bitch. You work for an airlines, you get free travel, but you're rarely at home. You get in the sex trade, you have a lot of cash, but you suck fat guy's cocks (not all clients are fat, but I am).]

I support my kids and their choices as much as possible. I may make it known I would prefer they make a different choice but I will never turn my back on them. Since I have sons I do not have to face this issue but if I did I would like to think I would support her while trying to make sure she sets herself up financially so that she has options.
