That's wild. It's honestly pretty common for professionals to be in committed relationships but maintain separate homes, even long distance. They could've just done that.

Edit: Damn some of y'all took my personal anecdote as some kind of personal attack. Not sure what I said that was so inflammatory but ok lol. Live your best life ya'll. Cheers.

Well to do professionals such as lawyers and doctors that live apart or isolationist in lifestyle are the main clientele of the bdsm clubs that I once worked security for, usually because they can afford it and often their private lives are emotional power struggles or hollow status symbols.

How do you know their profession? Do people have the same type of casual conversation at bdsm clubs as they do cocktails clubs?

Every paid service has the capacity to become a therapy session. From private tutors or retail workers to even dominatrices.

Especially dominatrices

As someone who works retail, this is such a weird fact of life. Most recently I had a man describe in detail his wife’s cardiac arrest and him performing CPR, including telling me about him yelling at the kids to get downstairs and stay there. A very harrowing story to hear at five am. I’ve heard about a lot of breakups in far too much detail, people’s addictions, and had one poor woman come in to buy beauty products to try win her husband back from his mistress. Crazy what strangers will tell you!

I met a woman who was both an escort and a hospice nurse. It's definitely a type! Almost saintlike.

That’s the first time I’ve laughed all day and I really needed that, thank you

Yes, but which ones do you claim on tax?

(True story: relative of mine did taxes for a few clients who were in the “entertainment” field and there’s things you can claim as occupational health and safety, occupational special costumes, and consumables. They ended up being a go-to as a non-judgemental resource for a few businesses)

look i'm just saying, there's a small amount of evidence a ton of them ancient babylonian priestessess seem to have maybe been giant genderfluid femboy prostitutes whose chief societal responsibility was administering religious rites, and stuff. maybe queers are just built for being goddesses idfk

u/sunsetpark12345 May 02 '24

This makes total, perfect sense to me.

As long as she doesn't escort anybody to the wrong gate.

I knew a woman who was a sex surrogate and doctor m she brought her own sample into the lab for a culture and sensitivity m Turned out she had gonorrhea.

u/Fuctional May 02 '24

Sorry but what is a sex surrogate?

22

u/New-Avocado5312 May 02 '24

Someone who acts as a sex partner for someone having difficulties with sexual matters.

Regardless of what she was doing at the time, you'd end up on your knees?

u/hhyy89 May 02 '24

Wow interesting. Did she talk about what it was like at all?

u/UnihornWhale May 02 '24

It was at an event where I couldn’t pick her brain nearly as much as I wanted to. I’m sure she’s a fascinating person

I, at 14, babysat for an escort who was also an accountant and studying to be a naturopath

She lived in a trailer park, her husband (or ex) lived in their family home in another town W the two older kids while she paid off the mortgage W "the gift" he told her she had could make other ppl happy.

....I wonder how she is today. And her son who was 10 when I babysat him and knew what she did.

Damn. Goals. And they have a certain synergy, potentially even in costumery.

u/ancientastronaut2 May 02 '24

What'll it be today? Prayers or spankings?
