People Are People. Sort of
[QUOTE=FastBreakJunk;6356071]I don't entirely agree. A sex worker is a person, and like all people they run the full gamut of humanity. Someone's job doesn't affect how much I care about them. It's just work.[/QUOTE]Yeah, their job doesn't affect how you care about them. But almost all of these women are in some level of distress; personal, financial, emotional, substance, etc. So it's not their job but all the reasons they are in this line of work that make it critical to keep our distance. We're not in a position to begin to solve whatever is wrong in their life. It's not appropriate and pretty arrogant of us to think we can. And, for the most part, they don't want our help past the donation. The small percentage that have their shit together and can really run this like a business are mostly odd balls and have had their understanding of intimacy and sexuality completely scrambled over the years. It's the rare bird to find the young woman who's healthy, normally adjusted, and using this as a discrete means to get from A to B. I've met several over the years, they are good people and are in and out of the game quickly. But they represent a tiny fraction and were also under extreme financial hardship at the time.
Fast Cheap Quality, pick two
[QUOTE=FlakeUmms;6357365]Filmmaking also has Fast Cheap Good pick 2 and I have for sure thought about that before when picking out dates. Weird how this stuff transfers.[/QUOTE]Every industry has its version.
People are strange and complex.
Out of sheere coincidence I knew Princess Peach years ago, right when she was getting started. She was a really sweet, fun, clever, sexy, single mom of 3 or 4 kids trying to juggle all of life's bullshit. But she was vulnerable and not stable emotionally. This shit and the life took her down hard. But she was doomed and certainly nothing I could do to help. For a minute or two she was Quality and Fast. Now just Cheap and sad.
