Hey all.

Has anybody else experienced this? I’m pretty open with my close friends about what I do & have never received any judgement. (So I thought

Few days ago I messaged my friend to see how her date went. We’ve been se friends around 4 years. She replied ‘yeh good but stay away seen as you shag people’s husbands, slag’

At first I wasn’t sure whether she was joking. After explaining to her that just because I do this job, does not mean that I would go for my friends interests etc.

I then received some absolutely vile messages in return. Saying she no longer wants to be friends with a prostitute, I’m disgusting, should be ashamed of myself etc. I have also just broken up with my partner who knew about my job since the first date.she said ‘no wonder he treated you the way you did when you’re a f***ing slag etc. Quite upsetting since she’s known for 4 years and has never had a bad word to say about it until now 

Well you're better off without this two-faced bitch in your social scene.

TBH I have mainly distanced myself from old friends since going full time (and I've relocated halfway up the country, which helps). I prefer now to cultivate friendships with other sex workers.

My sister knows what I do and is very supportive. I am pretty out most of the time. I'm in a WA group with my sis and a few mutual friends, including my sis's boyfriend.

I posted for support on something, specifically saying "this is gynae related, sorry [sis's boyfriend], feel free to skip"

Had a few supportive responses and then sis's BF basically replied "Maybe stop renting your vagina out then?" Cunt.

The people we most look up to can disappoint us immensely.

4 years is a long time to be friends with no hint how nasty she can be out of the blue that must have been a shock. Do you think something else has happened behind the scene that you are not aware of? Either way though you are better off without her as a friend if that is her true feelings.

I think it's too big a secret for most 'friends'. Even harder for them to resist spreading it. Can't really un-tell people.

As the great poet Bob Marley sung-
"Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
....Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you"

........................I have to add that something similar happened to me of late.
Maybe, it's something to do with nicer weather (?) 

It's hard to trust anyone after that.  .  .  but that's life!

At least, you now know the truths, and saw how they were really like,
rather than wasting any more time on their "friendship" you thought there was .  .  .

Sad to read of the OP and her experience. I have had my fair share of nasty comments from people I never believed were capable of reacting the way they did (also some reassuring ones by people who "got it" and knew that just because we take cash from clients does not make us out to steal their men or do harm to children, yes some folk still think all prostitutes are a danger to society.)

 What about close family members though? Cutting them out of your life is terrible and I have come very close to doing that myself.

I think this subject was discussed last year by a very distraught member who felt she had no other choice but to sever ties with her mother or sister.

What boils me up most though is the people who say they are not judgemental but display the exact opposite, have dirty secrets themselves yet as long as it is not sex for money they seem to think they are above any woman who makes a good living from escorting.

  Sounds like She’s always being jealous of you and was never a good friend in the first place.
I have non sex friends and they enjoy hearing my exploits and support me when things get tough.

Hey all.

to see how her date went.

Was she in  a relationship before has new BF got anything to do with this?

Sorry this happened to you x
