"It reminds me of the exasperation I used to feel, years ago, when one could be accused of regarding others as "sex objects." Well, one can only really be a proper "subject" to oneself. A sentence that begins with I will be highly solipsistic if it ends only with me, and if the subject is sexual, then the object of the sentence will be an object. Would people rather be called "sex subjects"? (A good question for another time, perhaps.) Or "sex predicates"? Let us not go there."

Want personal advice on getting started in the industry, or just want to see my pussy?
Been around the block
My advice for new & potential sex workers
My advice for clients
- Don't haggle, don't expect services not promised, don't give us unwanted "business advice"
- Get your money's worth: give us feedback so we know what you want
My advice for friends, family, acquaintances, & allies of sex workers
- Don't act as though our life experiences are invalidated because we haven't read such-and-such feminist book
- Don't ask us questions about how to get into sex work because you imagine it's easy
- Don't be all awkward and creepy when you discover that we're a sex worker
- Don't talk to us as though we're spoiled brats who don't have real jobs
- Don't you dare lecture sex workers with how you, an outsider, think we ought to feel about our lives
- Never be afraid to speak up for what's right, even if it's socially untoward to do so
