Feminists, give it up already!

With the courts battling the specifics of prostitution; what should be legal, what should not be, I find the most interesting news coverage coming from the feminists and their cohorts who insist that legalizing any form of prostitution is degrading to women. Have you ever taken a close look at these women? I have to wonder how long it has been since any of them have been laid.

Now before you jump down my throat for saying that, take a look at my stats on my website. I am not Barbie nor do I pretend to be. I just wonder what gives these women the right to stand up in court and speak on my behalf about something they clearly know nothing about. I am tired of society telling me what I do is immoral and degrading.

I am not naieve enough to believe this will ever change. Prostitution will always exist, feminists will always exist. I just find it so frustrating to listen to them and imagine all the women of the world nodding their heads in agreement as most of their husbands snicker behind them thinking "if you only knew". No, it's not for everyone and yes, there is a very seedy side to prostitution, I won't argue that fact. Does that make it okay to not give sex-trade workers a safe place to practice? It's been hundreds of years people, women exchanging sex-for-money will never go away! Make it legal, make testing more accessible, make it clean.

I am an escort by choice. I have a full-time well paying job outside of Belle and I am not the exception to the rule. I do this because I enjoy it. Yes, the money is a bonus, I will not argue the fact but it is not a means to an end for me nor for many other sex-trade workers. I am just so tired of listening to whiney, overweight, sex deprived women tell me that what I do is wrong.

I meet with ,men who make me feel better about myself and show me more respect than most partners I have had in my personal life. Why? Because I ask for the respect. We as sex workers have a choice. If we are not comfortable with a client or his wishes, we say so. We can leave at any time, we can refuse at any time. What we do and what we do not do is our choice and ours alone to make. The only difference between our relationships with men as sex-trade workers is that we get paid for it and we do it with complete strangers. But let's face it. Have most people not had sex with a stranger? ||||||Do

Belle,

with respect,

not all sex workers have a choice.

You and I do and that's fine, but we are NOT representative of the majority of sex workers, some of whom are trafficked, working the street to fund a habit, or pushed into this by some pimp.

I am fine with my line of work, as are you, but some vulnerable young women are not, and deserve to be helped.

I agree Sarah, there are certainly some women who need help. And that is why I support the legalization. I would love to see the government allow safe places for these girls to work. My issue is that the feminists feed into society that that is all this business about. They will never say that some do it by choice. Never. They make it clear all sex-trade workers need saving. That is my issue. I never meant to undermine those in this business that are being taken advantage of. Thank you for your comment.

Agreed so very, very much. I began doing this in college out of curiosity and every man I've been with but one (whom I never saw again) has been INCREDIBLY respectful of me, my body, and my limits. I've had amazingly deep conversations with some of these men as well. Men my age (I'm 22) rarely treat me so well, so I always find it amusing when certain feminists claim that all prostitution is inherently degrading.

Of course, I consider myself a feminist...just not the fat, sex-deprived kind. ;)
