Some people are just deluded sensitive little flowers, like the sugar baby types.

I prefer "whore" as it's so flexible. It can be a noun ("I'm a whore") or a verb ("Can't go to Aunty Ethel's party on Sunday, I'm out whoring.")

It also allows me to talk about having a "whoredrobe" of lingerie and skimpy dresses

I don't mind "prostitute" but it feels like a really technical term to me, I suppose because it's derived from "Prostitution" which is a legal term.

I think for some sex workers, if they are carrying shame (consciously or otherwise) about what they do, they are more likely to be uncomfortable with terms which have historically been pejorative.

Ha ha, I love 'whoredrobe'!!

Whore is an excellent word. There's a really good Twitter account called Whores of Yore which posts old photos of historical sex workers and vintage porn. The woman who runs it describes the word 'whore' as something which means a strong woman in control of her sexuality. It's a bit like reclaiming a word which has always been meant to insult us.

I personally don't like 'prostitute' because like VC says it sounds a bit clinical. Prossy, on the ther hand is OK!

Agree. I mentioned whoring in front of another girl, she burst into tears. I felt awful. Turned out her dad had been pimping her

I feel the same as all the ladies who have mentioned disliking being called 'babe, hun, etc', and it often highlights an enquiry from a timewaster in my experience.

I do not mind at all being called a prostitute as the definition of 'prostitute' is someone who engages in sexual activity for payment. That is what we do, so there's no denying the term.

I don't allow myself to be 'offended' by any word. That would just be allowing other people control over the thoughts in my mind.

And I actually like the word 'whore' as it sounds deep, sexy and a little more daring.

I am terrible for using the word hun or hen lol, think it's just the area I grew up in.

Personally none of the words used offend me. Now if someone used a certain 4 letter word starting with S ending in G then I would be pissed.

As men come to see me and get their wallets lightened in exchange for sexual services, that means I am a prostitute. Whatever terminology is used, the job of lightening their wallets and balls is still the same. Haha

MelissaS · « **Reply #143 on:** 14 April 2017, 03:30:09 pm »

I have no issue with it. It is what it is!

The only time I have a problem with it is if people try to use it as an insult or as a derogatory term. But then again, I think a lot of the time those people just don't understand it.

If you get offended by the word "prostitute" then you shouldnt be doing this job! xxxx

I am providing sex for money like we all are and sex worker or escorts are posh names for prositutes but still the same thing.The prozzy word goes over my head especially when clients try and offend me. I find it so amuzing.

I don't mind being called a prostitute. I'm not confident in myself to feel good about being called a whore. I have been called a "Lady Whore". I don't think of myself as being innocence on top and dirty in bed so a little shy of this. Being called a "slut" is off limits and will get a client blocked or thrown out as will "fucktoy". I hate being called "hun".

I have sold my body for sex. I don't know whether to be amazed or baffled.

Met people who get upset by the term but don't really no why, "escort" is just another way to say the same thing it doesn't really mean anything different, when people read that they know it means you're a prostitute and you sell sex so why it upsets them who knows. I've referred to myself as both an escort and prostitute interchangeably and occasionally used hooker which I guess is more of an American word. It's just a job description nothing more than that.

Do strippers get offended by being called strippers?
