I'm pretttty sure this is the right section to post this in..?
Has anyone else seen this documentary and what do you think? I paid for it on iTunes and I thought it was very much worth the money and thought it was really honest and would be insightful to the anti-SW brigade or people on the fence. I was very happy it showed that while some women feel they have no choice but to work in the sex industry for financial reasons, that is the same reason anyone gets a job, because they need money and that while some sex workers may have/had drug issues that's not the case for all sex workers. The point made about us actually not all being disease ridden because that would ruin our careers was also well put. And how we're excluded from legislation consultation too. I just felt that it covers everything and I found the stories of the women that had chosen this career path or were initially forced to it both very moving.
Only criticism is that I don't like terms like courtesan but that's so trivial!
My boyfriend and I have only been together a couple of months after being best friends for so long, and while he knew what I did before we got together because I've never hid anything from him, and accepts it and sees that "sex work is work" I think showing him this will be even more helpful to him in getting over little niggles he has and doesn't like having and really see the human value to my job too!
