I think I read one time that studying multi-media design and beauty therapy can get pretty “intense”.
Okay. I knew a woman in Portland, Oregon, who worked as a high paying call girl to fund her studies in Oceanography. No lie.
She said she made really good money in the sex trade, but wanted to do something else that required thought processing.
I think we have glamorized sluts and smut more than enough.
Glam organ University?
Really?
There seems like there would be a irreversible moral slide downhill that you take when you decide to degrade yourself by selling your body for money. I have heard the stories for years of the supposedly moral woman stripping to support her kids or put herself through school. Yet all the strippers whose lives I have gotten to know the details of for they were part of some family I knew were self centered party girls who had substance abuse problems and often engaged in prostitution as they slid downward. I am no expert having only heard detailed stories from a few families, but I have yet to encounter the reality of the stripper with her act together. I am sure they must exist I think I heard about one on NPR once while on a long drive and you know everything they report is true. (sarc)
This kind of thing never happens in the US.
I mean really, could you imagine that some skank daughter of a guy who helped get a murderer off does a porn video and gets famous. Then her whole family get on TV and do nothing and make millions? She even has a fake wedding and makes millions and the public still supports her.
No, Americans are much too smart for that...
It is her choice. Wonder if the education she is receiving is worth the carnage to her psyche?
I knew a gal in college that danced topless at a local place.
Heck, I was playing blues and reggae at sleazy clubs as well as weddings and bar mitzvahs to pay my tuition, too. More honorable than the typical congress critter or local public serpent.
Definintely not guilty.
I once met an exotic dancer at a club one night who was working on her PhD in psychology. While sitting in my lap chatting, she told me all about her struggles with balancing her job with her studies. I was so impressed, I gave her an extra $20........
Based on this passage from Hosea, it seems as though God is more concerned with the behavior of the consumer than that of the sex industry worker...
“I will not punish your daughters
when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
because the men themselves consort with harlots
and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes—
a people without understanding will come to ruin!”
- Hosea 4:4
I once briefly dated a very pretty Ukranian girl with poor English that had her own big pad in the NYC financial district. I would estimate her rent to be in the $3000 ballpark. She was always free during the day and most evenings.
Her explanation: “I nanny a few hours a week sometimes”. She would sometimes mention prostitution (not about herself) and get into this strange depressed state. I was finally certain of it and confronted her after she left her second phone turned on while with me.
When we parted ways she said she's addicted to the lifestyle but wished she could do something else. It was causing depression and drug abuse that I found out about later.
