    But I think you're wrong that "decriminalizing" sex work will reduce the desire for secrecy and discretion. I think the choice to use the services of a sex worker is an intensely private thing for most customers (with the exception being those who prefer to take their business to the public streets). No matter how the laws or even public perceptions change, most of my customers would not want the whole world knowing when they're stepping out for sexual services. Many of my customers wouldn't be caught dead in a strip club or a store-front type massage parlour, simply because this is a very private thing for them, and they do no wish to share it with the world.

     

     

    I believe you have honed in on the issue for many of us. This is my situation and as such I am limited as to what I can do or say in public to support such an incentive. All I can do is try to be a good client to those ladies I see or have seen.

     

    These are both entirely reasonable responses. Thanks for sharing them :)

     

    Just to elaborate, my thinking is that there seems to be three major reasons for clients to remain secretive - legal reasons, social stigma, and marital strife. Decriminalization would remove the legal reasons, and maybe reduce social stigma, which would in turn reduce the need for secrecy. Of course, I have no idea how often, when a client keeps his hobby secret, his motivations fall into any one of those categories.

     

    Anyway, just my 2 cents :)


  2. There's a bunch of weird things going on in the following passage:

     

    She added: 'Some have said I am worse than a prostitute because they think snuggling is more intimate than sex. I've been told I'm monetizing love.'

    One of her repeat customers, who would only give his name as Tim, disagrees with her critics.

    He said Jackie's cuddles had helped him following a bad break-up and described the sessions as 'meditative'.

    He even said he would continue to see her while in a relationship.

    'There's no cheating element, it's not immoral,' he said.

     

    She seems to completely demarcate sex from snuggling. It'd be strange to have sex with no snuggling before, during or after.

     

    It's weird for her to try to distance herself from sex workers when the services she offers are so similar (Physical comfort, physical contact, emotional comfort). I mean, I can understand that she wants to escape being stigmatized, but yeesh.

     

    It's also strange that there's such a backlash against her. I guess people are concerned about emotional infidentality as much as physical.
