I think you hit the nail on the head about the power-dynamic and pretense. Regardless, I hope you at least keep talking about it to people who would try not to judge. Sitting and dwelling on that kind of trauma, or even ignoring it can cause all sorts of problems.
- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 6 days ago:
I didn’t want to make assumptions on your initial comment as i didn’t know if you were referring to yourself as a full-service sex worker or were using the term under the more general definition applied to strippers, adult film stars, and cam-models, etc. I’ve never hired a hooker, before but visiting Pahrump Nevada, or the red light district of the Netherlands is still on my bucket list.
-That said, having your own personal choice and control over the situation taken away either by guys trying to “stealth” you or to take advantage of a desperate situations at the potential expense of your health is an awful thing to do to someone else. I can only speculate as to what each of your clients wanted that they couldn’t get from a toy. If i’m asked to return to your earlier question of what’s the difference between a human sex worker and a robot, I guess I’d respond by asking what’s the difference between non-sex worker and a robot?
While the work may not be 1:1 to you I can say with regards to strippers there’s still a kind of nonemotional intimacy, and the workers get to express their personalities which made things fun. I don’t know if you got a chance to do any of that or not.
–Are you able to seek counseling for this? Regardless of what I’ve said, that’s some pretty heavy trauma you seem to be trying to make sense of. It could be beneficial to work through it with someone that has more formal training and a deeper knowledge for learning how to cope with these kind of things.

“what’s the appeal?”
Of a sex worker or a robot?
basically it boils down to human contact versus a toy in this case. Did you never ask a client/partner/audience member? I assume reasons may vary. I personally think the nature of the (business) relationship to be low-pressure and relatively straight-forward --That is if we are to contrast it with the dating experience for the average man. Not everybody is relationship material, regardless.

I’d prefer a real hooker.

- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 3 months ago:
I deal with 3 massive city-owned (and admittedly beautiful) removedapin oaks and two privately owned red maples on a 1/3 acre lot. If the leaves don’t get removed then everything dies as a result of the acidity and thick leaf cover that wont fully decay before the next autumn. There is no room for a compost pile of that size considering that the leaves couldnt make up more than half of it. I’m not a fan of grass lawns but the city and the HOA have to give the ‘okay’ before a lawn change can be made.

Do public schools not teach keyboarding anymore? I ask because I had a keyboarding classe two-hrs 1day per week in grade school plus a full class one year in 7th grade and then again for a full year in high school, and they were always taught by some of the oldest teachers in the school. -My high-school teacher started his career teaching typewriter typing something like three or four decades prior to teaching me in 2004. It seems strange that new young people aren’t getting that same basic education.

- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 6 months ago:
I Just got falsely accused of downvoting someone yesterday. I
hadchose to give them a second downvote to prove that the first one didn’t come from my account. I admit, I have always been curious about the specific sources of votes but If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think actually knowing would leave me better off. I think people already read too much into these votes in the first place and it gives the ego-maniacs too much to obsess over. - Comment on Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled 6 months ago:

If a burglar is using a wifi-jammers then the basic consumer is not going to be able to stop said burglar. Basic consumer security products aren’t designed to do anything more than keep honest people honest. It’s much harder & more expensive to prevent a determined criminal from gaining entry and would likely require rethinking housing construction from the foundation up.
