Does anyone know who the girl was?

i don't think the cause of death is anybody's business unless her family wants to discuss it. we are nobody to speculate how, why or create hearsay

You're right of course.

I'm a disturbed by the situation. I know y'all are trained from OJT and experience to turn off a lot of the humanity that goes with the profession and 80% of the time, I can as well. Forgive me please for allowing myself to mourn her passing. I really don't have anyone to tell than the folks here. Should have just sent a few PMs out though.

"Prostitution, Violence, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder," published this summer in the journal Women & Health (vol. 27, no. 3) describes how she and her team of researchers interviewed about 500 prostitutes in several cities. Subjects included men and women prostitutes ages 12 to 61 who worked on the street and in brothels in San Francisco as well as cities in Africa, Thailand, and Turkey. In the study, Farley noted that PCL scores (a measure of PTSD severity) of prostitutes were higher than those of Vietnam veterans.

I'm going to shut up now. Your point is valid. I'm an idiot for making the "turn off humanity" comment.

Nikki,

Wouldn't you agree, though, that the cited study, although large in size and age range, was somewhat skewed in terms of the type of work they were doing? The street and brothels are probably the most stress-filled places for this sort of work, especially in some of the mentioned countries. Agencies might - depending on the agency - be only a little less of a strain than the street or a brothel, but it's usually different for true independents, don't you think?

Also, as with many such studies, doesn't the point at which the researchers picked up the thread possibly a bit late in the process? By that I mean that people carry forward with them the effects of all the events that preceded in their lives. I cannot imagine a person ever aspiring to work the streets; it has to be more a case of falling to it, wouldn't you say? Borne of desperation, perhaps? And Goodness only knows what demons tormented their existence prior to that: mental illness, personality disorders, certain dependencies, physical abuse, emotional abuse, you name it.

None of that is meant to minimize the stress that fills any escort's life. Of all the professions I have ever seen, it is clearly one of the most stressful there is. Very few can manage it successfully for any length of time. I know I couldn't.
