This was the early 90's when still little was known about AIDS. We discussed a few times, that if the sex trade had been legal and regulated, he might be alive and well today. He did it to support himself, and then the last 10 years of his life, he was a pimp for female prostitutes. He required all johns to wear condoms, and he protected his girls the best he could.
The only reason things like this are so taboo with some people is because of distinctions invented and imposed by human beings. It's ridiculous if you ask me, but maybe I'm biased.
I've never been extremely talented at pole dancing. The size of my natural breasts, and shortness of my arms and legs makes doing fancy stuff on the pole rather difficult, but I have had to keep in decent shape to keep doing it, so I feel it has benefited me in that way, so that's a good point.
Now that I'm 50 in stripper years, I mentor young girls about self-esteem. I have heard it said that strippers don't have any self-esteem. That's ridiculous. I've met strippers who had too much self-esteem, and strippers with none whatsoever. If we were to walk into a public school and talk to all the teachers who work there, I'm sure we'd find teachers with plenty of self-esteem, and teachers with none. People generally only see things how they want to see them, and no other way.
Amen.

And no amount of criminalisation is going to make it go away. It'll only go underground. Hush-hush. Out of sight. Creating and increasing opportunities for crime and exploitation.

I wanted to add this, because I think it's very cool.

That was a great performance. But I've seen even better! One on Youtube and one in the flesh, as it were. She was from the Ukraine. Frail, though toned, to look at, but as strong as an ox on that pole! It was breathtaking! I had to pick my jaw up off the floor...
You don't want to pick a fight with a girl like that!
