Malarek is an abolitionist. He finds prostitution unacceptable undre ANY circumstance. I freely choose to be an escort. I've done so for 6 years. I have a degree. My clients are nothing like the men he describes. If anyone were so much as rude to me I would walk out. I can do that because I work for an agency. That's illegal, but it has provided me with a problem free career. I applied for the job. I like my job.

As an autonomous person I have the right to choose this work and I resent Mr. Man trying to pretend he has a clue about the 80% of Canadian sexworkers who are not represented in any stats because we aren't addicts, homeless or in trouble with the law. We're boring and invisible. We do need decriminalization though.  

The Canadian government take my taxes from escorting . 

If I massaged nude people but didn't touch their genitals everyone would be fine with it.  It's all anti-sex moralists that are up in arms. Victor's representation of sexwork in Canada is bullshit. (that 90% of us want out).   He wrote in a NY Times article that the Spitzer escort was an oppressed victim.  He needs to quit pretending he's trying to save people who's rights he is attempting to trample on.  That's me (all sexworkers)  I'm talking about.  

 We sexworkers have meetings on university campuses and with various advocacy groups and we're getting really pissed that we aren't consulted on topics that impact prostitutes.  The swedish workers suffered after they started prosecuting the clients.  All the best, stable and delightful men with too much at risk ran scared and they were left with more high risk clients that they previously would not have seen.  I communicate with these women . 

P.S.  I have never sold or rented my body. I use it in my job just like we all use our minds and bodies on the job.  Hell people are renting their wombs as surrogates - but that's OK.  Decriminalize sexwork, so I can legally work for an agency, where I book on and off anytime I want and I am an independent contractor.  I call the shots.  If your into anonymous sex where you are your own boss what better job is there?  And we never do anyhting with a client without being paid first!
