1. Hear hear. I feel the same way.

   And honestly, about blogging too. If someone is worried about someone finding their blog, they WILL find it.

   If you're ashamed of what you're doing, or people finding out what you're doing, you probably shouldn't be doing it.

2. Well, I thought I'd add this most small, little addendum to say that you can't even plan to read a sex worker blog without just the person you don't want to see you reading it finding out. That's my wife and I, who consider myself a devoted feminist and certainly pro-freedom for women in all areas, was outed as some kind of dirty boy for even reading this blog. Not to mention even Betty Dodson's blog--a really old crusading feminist. Well, good luck and keep on communicating! It's our only way to continued sanity.

3. I agree that if you have a problem with certain people finding out, you shouldn't do it, but I think it's an exaggeration to say that they will for sure get caught. Between the countless niches of porn and the millions of faces just online, it certainly isn't for sure, especially if the person is going for a less original look/ has no particularly unique features.

4. Royce: You'd be surprised how easily and frequently people a sex worker knows will find them. It might seem like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's very common, to the point it's pretty much guaranteed.

5. hmm. I admit that my perspective on this is likely skewed, as I've never tried to hide anything and have no experience in that regard. I always find myself talking about the porno I was in and other weird shit in casual conversation, including ones with my mom.

   Also, being the somewhat solipsist person I am, I forget that most people interact with way more people than I do, so that would increase the chances.
   I only "know" about 50 or 60 people max, and when you take away internet acquaintances, It's down to like 20, mostly relatives who wouldn't even recognize me now and like 4 friends.

   So yeah, I'm probably wrong.
