we find different info depending on the agenda. i have found. but what i hear, is regardless of how we structure, the criminal element remains and is harmful. it is all about dominance and control, and with that, on the human spirit, i dont see universally, that there is a "right" way to abuse another.

that being said, the point of this Op is not the structure of making it the safest we can for a woman to be used. it is what it does to the spirit of the person. my favorite part of life is action/reaction with who we are and what it manifests. the ripple out effect. how choices effect us and whether or not we can do something of lower vibration in a manner where it is not hurtful to who we are. whether it be strippin or prostituting, i think when one is a part of an environment where they have to shield themselves from vulnerabilities and hurt and control, dominance and abuse, it effects who we are.

we have reasons to say we are happy with what we do when all the while inside of us knows better. but we are protecting self so we can continue with the choices we make.

i have no need or reason to judge a person making these choices, but i also think it is so harmful to mainstream and normalize this to such an extent that we say it is no different than working in mcdonalds.

To me there are different venues used in prostitution.. Little Star Apr 2012 #1
