Are we then saying she had no right to write a book about her experience! Did she name names exposing clients for it to be classed as a kiss and tell? I can not comment as I haven't read the book. Has anyone yet?

I fully appreciate that we live the life and many would choose not to read it or watch programmes. Others in various professions do the same. Like being a nurse and coming home after a shift to watch casualty and ER! I could go on.
 

Good to see you posting on Saafe again Crista.

People have a right to do what they like. Just as I have a right to form an opinion about it when made public.

I can't type much because my arms are all wibbly from a boxercise class (an evil, evil invention), but I wanted to say that the most annoying bit of the article was the bit from the Sun "agony aunt" or whatever saying something very similar to: "it may have seemed glamorous, but she was one of the lucky ones. Most end up making twenty pounds a shag in backstreets". This was the bit which made me do a big sigh.

Having read these sorts of expose type articles before, especially those in the tabloids, they alllllllllll twist things to a certain extent, and so I am not sure why I expected to read a balanced review of making a career out of prostitution!


That's the thing. Why go to a red top rag? Their reputation preceeds them and surely you know what's to be expected when you talk to one of them. Even if you do start out with good intentions.

However, the gist of this particular girl's story was that she initially did it to shock- and this was played up quite a lot during the article, possibly so as to present the reader with stark and *shocking* contrast to her apparently idyllic middle class upbringing, which they were also really hamming up. This was the main bit which narked me- it was as if a middle class woman couldn't rationally and sensibly choose to become a prostitute, and that instead she did it because she was a promiscuous wild child. It was a typical news of the world article, and something which I am sure they twisted to fit the sensationalist slant of their publication.

Amen to that.

Well, I neither agree nor entirely disagree as I see it from a different angle.  As for any implications about kiss and tell by mentioning merely an accountant as an example of a client that seems hardly the expose of the year!  A lot of ladies who blog and who use the facility for expressing themselves and more importantly as a publicity tool will reveal at least as many details if not more.  people ought to actually read the book before making all sorts of assumptions about her spilling the beans.       

I read this earlier today and I couldnt agree with Honey more...(meaning I do agree)

As long as the girl isnt naming names, why should she be patronized? Again, just about everyone has mentioned something about a client on here, it shouldnt make much a difference if she writes a book and gets paid. Nearly every other subject on earth is spoken about, why sweep this under the rug?

Her book may not be the best for the newly-introduced to this industry, but for us who have been doing it awhile, I'm sure we may relate and even share laughs with some of her experiences...To say that she is kissing and telling is preposterous. I, or anyone for that matter has no idea who this accountant is. There are 50 gazillion  accountants around, how do we know what city, province, state, or even continent this accountant is on?

I read lots of self-help books that used people (nameless or non-nameless) throughout the majority of the book. I dont think a book can be written without giving reference to someone. If the person is being anonymous, much less not even being described by physical features, its not kissing and telling. No one knows her clients from a whole in the wall.

Now, if she says "I spent a weekend with a guy who played for the (insert team) then you're sorta pushing the boundaries. If she said, "I spent a weekend with a professional sports figure who payed me $50,000, now thats completely anonymous and HARMLESS!
