He looks like Jeff Bezos!

Wow scary shit. I hope she can recover from this trauma. The risk is very real for SW's which is why I support whatever means they feel are necessary to protect themselves from harm.

Early on during Covid if I remember right some guy working at Walmart got himself killed by some asshat.

There is risk in almost every profession.

LOL did you just brush that off like it's a normal risk?

I guess it’s the advantage of having regulars/guys you know and trust than just the random asshole off the street...

I wouldn't be so sure, there is a chance this guy was a regular for someone or several someones...

Risks of death, rape, robbery???? Really???? Name me other professions that have those risks. Even cops and firemen who face death don’t face rape and robbery as well.

Serious asshole comment to make there bud.

Yup. You hear it all the time. Regulars going bad. Stalking, getting violent, possessive.

Convenience store clerk and taxi driver come to mind for the full trifecta.

For just getting raped and killed you have soldiers.

For just getting killed at work you have Cops, pilots, firefighters, miners….

Looking at it from a strictly objective sense, there are a lot of high risk jobs out there. Usually (but not always) they come with an associated premium in compensation. Every individual needs to make their career choices from an informed position. Prostitution is no different.

There are but not where all are possible. We face assault, robbery, rape and murder.

Cops - assault and murder but not robbery or rape

Taxi drivers rape more passengers then get raped. So sorry. You get robbery, assault maybe death on that one. But not all of them.

Store clerks - assaults, robbery, maybe death but not rape. Sorry. You don’t get that one here.

And tons of escorts are survival sex workers with no choice. So you don’t get that one either.

It was an asshole comment to make. I stand by statement. It would be an asshole comment to say to other high risk professionals as well. But in this regard, It undermines the risk we face so I called it out for what it was. I didn’t even get into the cold heartedness of the comment given the article. No care in the world for another human. It was an asshole comment. Period.

You are free to disagree.

I'm sure you're right...I'm sure this wasn't his first time seeing an escort...I wonder how many times he's done this and it wasn't reported...

If it happens once its a risk, but that is kind of meaningless. Because almost everything carries some risk.

What matters is how likely it is, based on statistics and relevant comparisons. Then the risks can be put into perspective. There doesn't seem to be any meaningful statistics that I have seen on this specifically related to the sex industry.

But I would definitely suspect that it is riskier than most occupations, that's a no-brainer.

Many customer have faced robbery , murder and assaults' at hands of SP. This is dangerous profession. Both for customer and SP's

First - where did I say it couldn’t happen. Although customers don’t face rape.

Second - can we stay on topic. This is about an escort. Not a client.

 

[Jasmina]

There are plenty of stats that show how often women are raped/assaulted in general.

It is safe to assume that sex workers face that same number, exponentially.

The reason you don't see stats on how many sex workers are killed/raped/assaulted is because it is still illegal in many places and sex workers are still stigmatized against.

You'd have to be living in a hole not to know it is a risk that sex workers face every single time they open the door.

Without the clients there will not be any escorts. Staying on topic should reflects both clients and escorts.

 

[NotADcotor]

Skimming the above.

So if you are murdered but not raped, it's not so bad?

Sure Bob took 25 shotgun rounds to the face, but at least nobody ever wanted to force sex on him.

Dead is dead.

 

[Jasmina]

It will never be a fair comparison, it minimizes the risks SPs take. Clients have review boards, they can do research to vet out potentially dangerous SPs. SPs do not have (decent) blacklist sites for clients to lower their risks.

Without the clients there will not be any escorts. Staying on topic should reflects both clients and escorts.

I don't think it changes everything. Someone who wants to hurt you will do it no matter what. I am just turned off by the lack of empathy I witness sometimes.

 

[Hoppers]

This thread is straight up depressing. Guys are seriously in here downplaying the risk that sex workers face, in response to an article about a guy who attempted to murder a sex worker. It's insensitive and stupid to do so in the first place, but in this context it should be absolutely clear to anyone that this isn't the time or place. Get a grip and have some compassion, holy shit.
