It doesn't really matter what word we use to describe what we do. Prostitute/prossie, whore, working girl, harlot, lady of the night, escort, courtesan, hooker, call girl, ho. We have sex for money they all mean the same thing. I for one embrace them all. It is who we are and what we do.

Ditto! I'm proud of the service I offer and how I market myself(courtesan) which is all PR anyway, I am a prostitute.

I wouldn't say I'm proud to be a prostitute, I'm not ashamed either but I think you can only really be proud of an achievement and I don't see prossying as that

same here! I'd be proud if I'd studied and worked hard in a career! I'm not disgusted with myself but not proud of myself, I'm proud I've brought my daughter up alone and am financing her nursing degree, not proud I've slept with countless men to do so! X

Doesn't offend me in the slightest. I am what I am, and I'm a prostitute.
I don't think it's even a derogatory term, and I also think there's a difference between a prostitute and an escort,
but at the end of the day, they're all just words...
Some words make more money than others lol

Yes same for me, I'm proud of my academic achievements, and glad for the sex industry that's given me the opportunity to pursue them.
Making men shoot their load isn't my idea of achievement!

I think you're being a bit hard on yourselves, folks - you'll have made plenty of said mens days along the way! Think of the people who've finally got to try out things they'd always wanted to thanks to you or who would probably never get any intimate or sexual contact without you, maybe even any physical contact at all (or just a chance to look at real boobs and fannies

).

There aren't many jobs which exist to make somebody else's day a bit more pleasant and plenty that do the opposite, and you have the first one

I agree. I am bloody proud of being able to pay my rent and put food on my table (and sometimes the table of my children, who - as most of us mums know - never really leave home ever) and clothe myself and pay my taxes and all the rest of the stuff that comes with holding down a job. We're self-employed, and freelance/running a biz isn't always easy, keeping your head above water can be stressful.

I may not hold that degree or be in a job that people look up to, but whoring is no better or worse in the pride stakes than toilet cleaning, shelf stacking, till scanning, cold calling, child minding, proof reading, car boot selling, all of which are jobs that I have done (while my children were little/growing up) and am proud to have done to feed my kids and put shoes on their feet and send them to school and tuck them in bed under the roof that *I* paid for. I'm like Amy - I pre-date the minimum wage, and have done some not very pleasant jobs for 50p an hour. Still proud of doing them though

It doesn't offend me. I'd rather be a prostitute than a slut or a whore. Escort is kind of misleading & idl plauong pretend

alice842 · « **Reply #115 on:** 19 January 2015, 09:16:07 pm »

I'd be offended if somebody outside of the sex industry called me a prostitute purely because it has a lot of negative connotations. Some antis also use the phrase 'prostituting your body' which I hate as that's not what I do. I don't rent out my body for sex which is what some people think prostitution is - I have the right to decline services, choose who I see and work when and where I like. Yes, I know technically that is still prostitution but some people have this idea that prostitutes don't have the right to say no when they're working. I don't mind calling myself a whore, prostitute, hooker etc. but as those words are commonly thrown around as insults in the UK I won't put up with anyone outside the industry calling me them.

Iv got older teenage boys, recently they watched watched a british gangter move where they all tend to spend a lot of time calling each other "you slaaaaaag" in a cockney accent and gravelly voice. Consequently the boys are now greeting each other each day with "hi YOU SLAAAAAAG" as they think its hilarious. I think ill have it lodged in the back of my brain so that if any punter or person does turn around and call me a name referring to my job I shall just "oh shut up YOU SLAAAAAAAG" them. I shall never be able to take that word seriously again

I sometimes make a point of using the word "prostitute" when defining boundaries with a client who seems to have gotten a bit confused. As in, "Oh, no, I don't think going for lunch sometime would be a very good idea. Most prostitutes tend to prefer to keep work and business separate."

roxy666 · « **Reply #118 on:** 20 January 2015, 10:21:09 am »

Prostitute doesn't bother me either, I tend to address myself as an escort to clients etc, and when I'm with my sister or someone I'm close with who knows about my job, then I use the term hooker in a light hearted comedy way, for eg. I shall soon be coming out of my hooker closet to my mum. Or something like that.
I've noticed a lot of women on here don't like hun, darling, my dear, sweetie etc. They don't bother me at all, maybe it's because of where I'm from. Here in Somerset these terms are commonly used, in shops, between friends, in the pubs, the list goes on. When I've worked in local pubs, it's just force of habbit to go, "you alright hun, what may I get you?". I don't batter an eyelid at it. The one thing I don't like is being called babe by someone I've never met before, that rufflesmy feathers, but only a bit, then I just let go of it. These clients aren't doing it out of disrespect, it's most likely because where they come from, it's common lingo and just a force of habbit, it just comes out without a thought. xox

I think of "prostitute" as the technical term for what we are and do. While it's still a loaded term - if you call the school head teacher a prostitute she'll be just as offended as if you'd called her a whore - it's the one that newspapers will use. "Escort" is a euphemism, which I think is OK and I understand why people use it. It's probably the friendliest term to use, except maybe "working girl." But I don't object to being called a "prostitute."

I have had people call me my nationality in a sneering tone of voice. I mean, you can say ANYTHING in a nasty tone of voice and make it an insult. "Oh, well! Aren't you the head teacher!!!"
