Seems to me that with all the political and economic negative developments in country media finally found itself new favorite topic to steer public attention to  ... as result more and more people have knowledge of sites like TER and Eros.

Ladies and gents, do you find yourself in conversations about the Hobby with your SOs and coworkers more then ever?  If you do then how do you handle it?

Publicity and news coverage about the hobby can only hurt the hobby.  The more the general public knows about the hobby the more they are going to demand LE do something about it.  This latest case of murder in Boston will no doubt trigger the public to demand the authorities do more about the growing problem of prostitution on the Internet.

A few years ago when escort malls like That Mall started very few people had any idea about escorts using the Internet to meet clients. LE was aware of the growing prostitution problem on the Internet but they gave it a blind eye since they had highly visible street walkers to keep them busy and the public was happy that LE was cleaning up the streets.  

It became so easy for anyone to advertise on websites like Craig's List, Backpage and others that the street walker began to disappear.  At the same time news articles about Internet prostitution began to appear on a regular basis. Women who claimed to be escorts went on talk shows and appeared on news documentaries telling the world how the system works.

With the noticeable absence of street walkers LE turned to the Internet and found fertile ground in websites like Craig's List.  Setting up stings and using Craig's List to advertise has made LE's job a lot easier and more productive.  It is only going to get worse as names like Craig's List become a household word and are associated with prostitution.  The least the general public knows about the hobby the better off we are. However, I am afraid the Genie is out of the bottle.

its not a subject anyone has brought up as of right now. And i prefer Not to discuss it with those who are clueless. Its a waste of energy and emotions. They don't get it and they don't want to.
Honestly read over the comments on the Boston Heralds pages, this hobby is misunderstood they are angry but not over the incident more over the fact that this young lady was making money the old fashioned way.
She is not seen as someones daughter sister lover friend or loved one, yet as a whore.
Its a sad world when a person for their personal preferences that really are not for anyone to judge, and noones business become who she is to all who see the end result. She is not seen as person or as a person anyone can care about. SAhe leaves behind a family and friends who saw her for who she is and not what she did.
I will not go into this subject with anyone who can not see her, or the other woman who were vitimized as people with rights feelings and lives the same as the ones willing to hold court against them.

the evil hostility I see in peoples additudes towards these woman. It makes me sick. The outrage is so displaced. A cold blooded stalker/ serial killer is getting less backlash than the victim here.

Its so disheartening to realize, if you have obeyed all the rules most of your life and have it not only end tragically,and unexpectedly, but to have people make comments on what you did to make a living is baffling to me.
I have looked back on the different things I have been so far in my life,
daughter,sister, flutist,veteran,postal worker, emt,mother,and now a provider,
and if I die tommorrow, in spite of the fact, that I have done the right thing all my life, and helped others, I will go down as a prostitute?

makes me wonder if Mary Magdalene made it to heaven?

It doesn't matter how much good you do in life if you are branded with prostitute everything else is washed away.

How tragic is that

look past their own moral dilemas and see all these victims and woman, human beings and a true loss to our society. We all contribute to this world good and bad, we all leave an impression on someones heart that will always be a loss to them without us. She has become less than human for being a prostitute. Its not right its aweful.
It makes me sick. She was a young lady who had the world ahead of her, she was a daughter sister and friend she meant something.

It is such sad commentary on our society that it so devalues the total worth of a person because of the life they choose to lead. I do fear however that the enlightenment, if it ever comes, will take too long for us to see it.

you are one fine classy lady.  I look forward to spending some private time with you in the near future.

This kind of yellow journalism, among other things, is why I don't read the Herald.  On the other hand, the Globe coverage was quite sympathetic.

Heard ladies and guys talking about at Mcdonalds the other day...and some ladies saying no diff then strippin.....

Has come to the mainstage now....now the ? will it get too much attention ???

Nope.  No conversations with anyone about the hobby outside the hobby.  Friends and family may wonder about my comings and goings, but no one knows what I am doing, or where I going.  This is my secret life, and I will reveal nothing.  Secrets are secret!
