Pa1oma, I considered replying to your previous posts but (at the risk of sounding like a patronising wanker) I didn't want to drag you back into a conversation you had deliberately left, so I'm glad you have posted.
I can absolutely see how you have those views towards prostitution, and I think we do actually have some very similar views.
At this stage I feel as if I would be dishonest to not tell you that I was also abused as a child.
While I am generally a very open person and I usually have no problem telling people I am a sex worker and I am an abuse survivor, in this context it is difficult. I completely agree with you when you say that childhood abuse will always manifest itself, and I have been in therapy for many years.
My past however does not mean that I am not able to make an informed decision, and it does not make me vulnerable.
I am not concerned with pushing any agenda of the 'happy hooker', I am only saying that I have the right to work in the sex industry, and in my experience the industry does not have to be damaging to women.
What I am most concerned with is ending the abuse of the sex industry by criminals.
