I wish more couples were open like you are.
That's so excellent! It feels good to confide in someone, eh?
So my story, which I've told before, but goes like this. My mother and my sister know, but my father, grandparents, etc do not. Here in Ottawa, where I live, I'm out to everyone I know and people you have random conversations with and they ask, "what do you do for a living?" I always answer that I work as an escort. So my hairdresser knows, my waxer knows, multiple classes of students at the University of Ottawa and Carleton, as well as some of my professors.
When you are sometimes asked to give guest lectures on the subject of sex work, you can hardly be "in the closet" about what you do.
Why do I put myself out there? Because I personally believe that the more of the general population that is educated as to the variety of experience and diversity of human beings who participate in this industry, the more I can change public perception of whores/hookers/escorts/courtesans/sexual healers/sex workers/service providers.
Oh and when I told my mom, she said, "I'm impressed that you have the courage to take advantage of such a goldmine."
True story.
