in my job search will summarily dismiss my resume because I'm in a "social forum" used by scofflaws?

I'm already on Perilous ground because a Medical Doctor prescribed Cannabis therapy for me. I'd quit smoking and/or edibles; but the shit REALLY WORKS!!!

  My apologies to Pfizer, Amgen, Lilly etc. Your "shit" made me a walking zombie, gave me "erectile disfunction" and had dangerous physically addicting narcotic properties(but employers don't seem too much care).

  Strange world; ain't it?

like lawyers? That is an insult to hookers. Once a hooker fucks you and takes your money, they leave and quit both fucking you and taking your money until called. Can you honestly say that about lawyers?? Or therapists for that matter? lmao

What is the difference between an angry duck and a mountain climbing guide?

Answer:  An angry duck clucks defiance.  

As a former mountain climbing guide, I can confirm the truth of the joke.  

But it is rightly prohibited for state-licensed therapists to have sex with their clients.  If by "fucked", you mean "ripped off", you would have to ask the clients if they feel ripped off.  I'm sure you will find some who will say they do, and some who will say they don't.

Don't blame the drug companies, blame the person who prescribed them. Just sayin. I was a rep for a long time, and I could not MAKE a doctor prescribe anything. I highlighted the positives, and of course down played the negatives, but any patient taking a drug should do their OWN research about possible issues, before deciding to listen to their doctor.

If we expect to be treated like legitimate business women, and to gain decriminalization and acceptance of sex work, we must behave like real workers. I enjoy when companions have LinkedIn profiles. I feel it is very professional.

When you present yourself as a professional, you are treated as one. I am a sex worker. I get paid to give ephemeral intimacy. I value my companion job just as I value my day work at my optometry office.

Feel free to disagree, but check your tone. :)

Based on your logic Ms. Spock, drug dealers should also be legitimized.  It's illegal as well, but I'm sure drug dealers see their "profession" as legitimate as a hookers.

Go ahead and scream that hooking should be legal because it should.  And even if it was, society in this country still looks down on it.

Go and get your eyes tested where you claim to work.  Funny, how do you have all this time to be on TER and still pay attention to your legitimate job?

I'm sure they will find it very interesting. I am not saying we should not be treated as professionals but if all of us were so truly proud of what we do, why hide our faces? If you are really "in school" trying to do something else with your life in the U.S. you can't be naive enough to think that some CEO is going to run to hire you. Everything you put on the net, is forever. Remember that. If you have ever had a phone number or email that connects the real you to China Rose, see ya.  

We are looked down upon because this business is not only illegal, but to some, immoral. I would no sooner broadcast this part of my life, than I would if fkin my boss's or neighbor's husband. It's a bit tacky to brag about doing such things, knowing other people are going to possibly be affected. What's next...placing our ads on the high school bulletin board? Hell, why not, when high school children as well as elementary children are on social media sites.  

Being a professional also means being DISCREET and protecting those who see you, as well as their loved ones.

Having a profile is fine, I guess, but I would not be using the message system to set up bookings. Can we say  NOT SECURE?

I was making a sarcastic jab at the ludicrous hypocrisy we live under. One can show up to a pre-employment drug test addled with Big Pharma drugs and a BA of .15 and nothing is said. But have a couple of metabolized Cannabin’s in your urine and you’re summarily dismissed.

GaGambler's analogy of Hookers being sullied by the inclusion of lawyers on LinkedIn is in the same spirit.

Just because someone has been on some board for years, doesn't give them the right to be a sociopath.

I post on TER because I think there needs to be multiple opinions...but my business doesn't come from here. I may be an unknown to you TER boys, but the people that see me, and the people I send me their clients sure know who I am.

I am perfectly ladylike, especially in my response to the rude bile that CCPA likes to spew.  

"Old guard" means nothing to me. This is the internet, and I will not be treated rudely, especially by someone so filled with hate.

Your reviews mean nothing to me. My 10/10 means nothing, the person who reviewed me...doesn't care about reviews, which is why I am his first. Even if I have 50 reviews...it will never mean anything because they are nothing.

Big Pharma would much prefer you get addicted to narcotics if that is all there is to stop the pain. But wait there's more, maybe some cannabis might help, non narcotic but shoot, they won't tax it so they can't make billions.

Yes. I guess I must not be lady like enough to understand what men mean when they say they expect a woman to be 'less combative and more lady like'.....lmao...

No one (from what I see) is arguing that sex work or selling of illicit drugs is legal or legitimized. They should be however prostitution is the only activity criminalizes by the motive- i.e., legal to give away, but not to directly trade for money. Motive may affect the degree of other crimes, or act as a mitigating/aggravating factor, but anything criminalizes purely by motive is basically just creating Thought Police.  
I'm sure society will continue to place a stigma on sex work as long as rad neo-feminists and puritanical elements exist in our society. Personally, I dont so much care about society's opinion- I just want to be able to do the job of my choice safely and without the threat of arrest/imprisonment/lifelong criminal record. Really, I simply think criminalizing ANY behavior that only affects the consenting adults involved in that behavior. Therefore, I also think use/sale of drugs should be legalized and regulated- the vast majority of overdoses, death, violence associated with drugs is created by criminalization. Prohibition of any such consensual activity doesn't lessen the occurrence- it just pushes that group underground and causes untold harm.

Based on your logic Ms. Spock, drug dealers should also be legitimized.  It's illegal as well, but I'm sure drug dealers see their "profession" as legitimate as a hookers.  
   
 Go ahead and scream that hooking should be legal because it should.  And even if it was, society in this country still looks down on it.  
   
 Go and get your eyes tested where you claim to work.  Funny, how do you have all this time to be on TER and still pay attention to your legitimate job?

If we expect to be treated like legitimate business women, and to gain decriminalization and acceptance of sex work, we must behave like real workers. I enjoy when companions have LinkedIn profiles. I feel it is very professional.  
     
  When you present yourself as a Hprofessional, you are treated as one. I am a sex worker. I get paid to give ephemeral intimacy. I value my companion job just as I value my day work at my optometry office.  
     
  Feel free to disagree, but check your tone. :)

London- I don't blur my face because I'm ashamed- I blur my face because the illegality and social stigma of this profession require it unless I want tO be an easy target for Leo, or face discrimination by any future employer, etc. also, as you said,  discretion is a vital part of our professionalism- i don't want to be easily recognizable when out to dinner with a client, for HIS sake. I also don't wish to subject my mother to the horrific guilt/anxiety/etc that would ensue if she found out- just because of her personal beliefs.  
I do think, since this is a JOB, that women should be able to CHOOSE to show their face without fear of police harassment/criminal record. No one can make society like or approve of us, but we can work for the safety/harm reduction/justice of decriminalization...(not the I'm saying it's anyone's duty to join in activism!)

I'm sure they will find it very interesting. I am not saying we should not be treated as professionals but if all of us were so truly proud of what we do, why hide our faces? If you are really "in school" trying to do something else with your life in the U.S. you can't be naive enough to think that some CEO is going to run to hire you. Everything you put on the net, is forever. Remember that. If you have ever had a phone number or email that connects the real you to China Rose, see ya.  
   
 We are looked down upon because this business is not only illegal, but to some, immoral. I would no sooner broadcast this part of my life, than I would if fkin my boss's or neighbor's husband. It's a bit tacky to brag about doing such things, knowing other people are going to possibly be affected. What's next...placing our ads on the high school bulletin board? Hell, why not, when high school children as well as elementary children are on social media sites.  
   
 Being a professional also means being DISCREET and protecting those who see you, as well as their loved ones.

LOL, I know babe. Just getting a plug in there for my pharm rep sistas, who are really closet hookers. Bringing donuts never got the job done for me. :)

I was making a sarcastic jab at the ludicrous hypocrisy we live under. One can show up to a pre-employment drug test addled with Big Pharma drugs and a BA of .15 and nothing is said. But have a couple of metabolized Cannabin’s in your urine and you’re summarily dismissed.  
   
 GaGambler's analogy of Hookers being sullied by the inclusion of lawyers on LinkedIn is in the same spirit.

Those elements continue to do their part. Sure. But...have you read this board?  

Men talk about, and 'down to', and around, and above sex workers, day after day. You would think sex workers are interplanetary aliens. "hookers hookers hookers hookers" are not actually real people.  Are hookers capable of real love? Can a hooker be married? What do hookers do when they're not hooking? All hookers have been sexually assaulted. Hookers are stupid. Hookers are not educated. Hookers are manipulative and deceitful. All hookers have pimps. No hooker could POSSIBLY enjoy her work....and on and on.....and on....

As long as we eat keep eating our own---if the very people who regularly hire sex workers express such ignorance and disdain--- it's farce to expect that others will ever be motivated to even think about changing their attitudes.

Sorry, but not all escorts have mothers who were also hookers or strippers. Many were raised in a manner that said, "You can do what you want, when you move out of my house and are of legal age to take the consequences that come with your decisions." Even though I am a whore, I would never want my own daughter doing the same thing. Sex is just sex, and I couldn't care less about that part, but to act as if this business is not dangerous as hell, is absurd! I would not want some woman who broadcasts this life, as my employee if I ran a major corporation, and you can bet your ass most others don't either, unless it is a sexually oriented business. Why? Because the very clients that most likely buy those products pretty much expect such a thing. If Mercedes hired a former escort as their new CEO, you can bet they would lose more than HALF of their client base.  

Is it fair? Well, no, but that's how it is. A university can kick you out if they find out you are an escort. An employer can also fire you for that same reason and actually MUCH LESS. Look at several teachers and nurses who have been "relieved of duty" when their old porn pics came to surface. Hell, you can't even make a sex tape with your own husband without someone wanting to cause trouble for you. I had a friend that lost out on a job in Fla. because of a hooker blacklist, that was not even true! Yep! That's correct...was not even true, but that company did not want the drama.

So which is it...hooker or john.  
   
 Sure hope it's hooker cause if it's john, you kissing up to the hookers isn't going to get you laid.  
   
 Asshat...I seem to recall another poster who really loved that saying  LOL  
   
 Shall we play?  
   
 Oh...so you agree with China that it's OK to solicit underage kids...right?  Yep...let's advertise on LinkedIn...fucking classic.  I'll bet if your Mom knew that you play on TER you'd be grounded for a month :D

Perhaps it's because if you deconstruct the word "therapist" you get "the rapist."
