Sex workers are often misrepresented in the media. I read this article and for the first time I saw it happening to the clients. Lumping every hobbyist and online forum as a sexual predator searching for underage girls. I understand that it is illegal in the states but often a reporter who really wants to understand will interview sex workers or their clients to get a better understanding of what's going on. This rarely happens.
How do you feel about being lumped in with pedophiles? It happens a lot with sex workers and this is something that frequently makes me angry. One or a handful of people do something awful and we are all basically categorized the same way. Underage sex trafficking is real and awful but I don't think it represents the sex industry as a whole. Just like every SP isn't being trafficked, not every hobbyist is a pedophile. I have browsed other forums before and some of the things I read were pretty awful. They're not all like that though. Terb has a pretty high standard for what can be said. Of course they probably had to go on a forum where there is likely no moderator or rules... Just like how they generally interview the impoverished, drug addicted sex worker barely making ends meet to portray what life daily life is in sex work
