TweetyGirl Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Or a prostitute or a camgirl? Basically any risky job that involves sex work in some way. Link to post Share on other sites
StalwartMind Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm indifferent as that person is a human like the rest of us. That said I've never met someone who was involved with sex work, but if I did I would not judge that person any different than the rest. I do have an open mind, and while I much prefer anything sex and intimacy related to be between me and my partner, I still understand those who choose to work or enjoy anything related to such. Some people are unable to provide for themselves otherwise, then we have some who are either too awkward or perhaps don't even want relationships, or maybe even there are those who are so unfortunate, the only way they can have any such experiences if through those means. People often forget that everyone have feelings and desires, if you are misshaped , handicapped or otherwise impaired to function as a normal human, then it may be your only option to get stimulation through such. It's something to ponder at least, before anyone blindly throws their opinion on a topic of this regard, even if you have a very strong belief that things should only be a certain way. I could perhaps care less since I don't occupy myself with what you mentioned, but the decent human in me likes to share my perspective on things, regardless of my own interests. I commend anyone actually bothers to think a bit outside their own range, just because if you can be more understand and tolerant of things, then you might just make someone else feel a bit more welcome in this at times very unwelcoming world.

mrldii Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 As long as it's not my SO/spouse - and as long as he didn't become this type of worker during our time together - it's really none of my business what other people's business is...that's between them and their SO/spouse. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Clarence_Boddicker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There's nothing wrong with being a sex worker, as long as they know what they are getting into, are not being exploited, are honest about it to anyone they are in a relationship with & are safe. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
kenmore Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I commend anyone actually bothers to think a bit outside their own range, just because if you can be more understand and tolerant of things, then you might just make someone else feel a bit more welcome in this at times very unwelcoming world. Food for thought! Funny, thoughts of selling insurance wafted through my mind reading this thread as if it's on par with prostitution (not that stripping is.) "Thinking outside my range" well, that was a bust! It was a nice try on my part though lol. Anyway OP, it seems to me this post was created because you have a personal reason for doing so meaning someone in your family is doing so. I would accept it as a job unless it entails anything extracurricular. If any actual sex is expected or any lap dancing, anything that can put whomever into a precarious position, that's a cause for concern but I still can't say it's your part to do anything. My ex-step-cousin (I guess is what she is? Not sure) is a pole dancer. She's hot! I can say that without reserve because she's not a blood relative. Her family "talks about it" like it's a bad word. Hey, it's how she earns a living. She's hot and using that to further her future. As long as she's not getting pregnant nor diseased (for sure!), f*ck the families puritan ways. Especially since I am no longer part of that family! lol. We all need to earn a living. If they have what it takes and it's benign, it's OK IMO. If it's not benign, it's cause for concern but it's still up to them. How does it affect you? Ken Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Furniture stripper? Well that would be lovely! Not keen on flaunting oneself in such a way....So a family chat would be in order to garner understanding and safety in such an industry. Link to post Share on other sites
jessiejae Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm a cam girl so I would be thrilled. I suggested it to a family member but she declined bc her hubby would not be ok with it. I'm independent. I pay my own bills. I never ask anyone for anything. I have financially bailed out several family members. Only one person in my family knows what I do for a living. If the others were to find out and judge me I would think how dare they considering I have helped some of them. Their opinions don't pay my bills. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden2 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Good for you, Jessie! I used to work in a grocery store, and one of our customers was a phone sex operator... she would talk to guys on chat-up lines and basically sell herself on the 'phone. She made a lot of money doing this. But I hate to say it, she wasn't what I would call 'the model' type... overweight, frumpy, her teeth and hair needed attention... In short, she had the best character, temperament and 'looks' for a phone chat-up liner! She was an absolutely lovely lady, and obviously had exactly what it took to get guys calling her time and again! More power to her, and kudos too! In my family? If you knew my family, you'd know something involved in the 'sex line' would be tame by comparison! Besides, we all have sex, we just don't discuss it at the dinner table. But we all do it, think about it, act on it (sometimes alone, sometimes with someone else) so, I'm not really sure why there should be a shock value to this. My mother and father had sex. My dad had a stash of porn magazines in his bedside table cabinet. They had 3 kids so they MUST have done it at least 3 times. Most people, when the thought of their mother and father having sex, is suggested, recoil at the notion... Aren't some folks odd....? Link to post Share on other sites
GunslingerRoland Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 To me there is a huge jump between stripper/cam girl and a prostitute. Strippers/cam girls don't touch anyone (at least here in Canada), it's just a visual thing, closer to a model than a prostitute IMO. Sure they are sexually desired by men, but so are waitresses in short skirts... I've had friends who were strippers, and I don't think I'd be upset if I found out a family member was doing that. Prostitute is very different though... I don't believe that to be a particularly healthy lifestyle, physically or emotionally. I'd try to talk them out of it. Help them out financially if that is what it was about. Link to post Share on other sites
Zagan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'd tell them to make sure they avoid a Loveshack poster called Linqer at all costs Link to post Share on other sites
autumnnight Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'll answer as if the only choice is stripper Hmmm....it would honestly depend on who it was. If it was my cousin, who I never see and who lives halfway across the country, I guess I'd just shrug and shake my head? If it was my daughter...yeah, I'd have some words about that. If it was my mom.....I have to admit, I'd probably be concerned after I got up off the floor and stopped laughing. I mean, she's a lovely lady, but she's in her 70's. If it was any of the men in my family....I'd change my name. I know I was a bit tongue in cheek, but honestly, I cannot imagine anyone in my family doing it. As for cam girl or prostitute, I would be concerned for their safety. Very concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
nescafe1982 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think it would bother me if they were in one of the less reputable clubs. But as a moral question? Meh. Link to post Share on other sites
