Okay, so occasionally I entertain this mildly preposterous notion that I should approach the Counseling Center or the Women's Resource Center at school about creating some kind of "sex worker support group..." I mean, my school's got 30,000 students, I figure I can't be the only woman there who's ever worked in the industry, right?
Of course, I'm retired, and have been for awhile, and so I've pretty much dealt with the issues around transitioning into "respectable society" ::) ...So it's not that I feel like I really need some sort of psychological support....
It's just that, well--you guys know: Once a stripper always a stripper; you can take the girl out of the 7" platform shoes but you can't take the 7" plats out of the girl...etc etc. I really do feel that it "marks" you in ways that are both positive and negative; it becomes an identity that's really sort of hard to shake...even when you don't do it anymore.
Hence my vicious addiction to SW. (Well, that and you guys are just really fucking cool...It's true. I've been cheating on SW and posting on another forum, but it's just not the same.:( Everyone's so frickin' boring.)
So, I'm thinking that maybe this wacky little 'support group' idea of mine would keep me in touch with other industry folks, and prevent me, maybe, from doing silly things like flunking out of school because I can't quit posting on SW, or attempting to go back to work when I am far too old to do so...Plus, I'm thinking it could be really helpful for the girls who are still working. (Not to mention a really good way to meet hot chicks. :P No, I kid!)
What do you guys think? Has anyone ever attempted anything like this through their school, or some other organization? Do you think the holier-than-thou feminists at the Women's Resource Center would flay me for even suggesting such a thing? Do you think anyone might be receptive?
