Someone who works in an occupation is certainly going to be more knowledgable than a journalist/author/writer/therapist who may or may not research the subject. You can’t believe everything you read people simply because someone comes across as an authority. “Don’t ask a therapist- Ask someone in the industry” is an appropriate title and should apply across the board. I happened to have read the article in question before coming to this blog. I found myself taking the article seriously in part because it “sounded credible”. After reading this critique I found I fell into the trap I warn others about- Don’t believe everything you read. It is all too easy. Rereading it with right girls comments made me realize what a fluff piece it really was. Be careful what you read- use your critical thinking skills- we all have them.

Do,

You just made my point for me (though I admit to not reading Huffpo). Salon writes glossy-style articles like the women’s magazines do. In none of these places will you hear about the gritty underbelly of the sex-trade, unless there’s a victim spin that can be put on it. Whether or not Ms. Fulbright’s books contain information about nanny fetishes or dark nightclubs where men make overtures at one’s shoes (both these are personal experiences), her article did not.

If you yourself have any experience in this area, as either a provider or a user of dominatrix services, please drop me an email. I’d love to hear from you, and will protect your anonymity.

Actually, you got a lot of it wrong. Other articles on this topic - check out salon.com & huffingtonpost.com - are consistent with the information you attack. You don’t seem to really know what you’re talking about, including calling the supposedly conservative Fulbright a “therapist”. A person who is a sex educator isn’t automatically a sex therapist. You could learn a thing or two from reading this sex expert’s many books.

I thought these were called ‘wives’. I should know, I’ve been married to one for 20 years.

“Being ‘glamorized hookers,’ as they’re often called, is not easy money.”

As they’re “often called?” I don’t hear anyone glamorizing these hookers except the nit-wit that wrote the article.

“You need an imagination and the ability to keep a straight face in dom work.”

So, if you can watch the old Batman TV series and not laugh your ass off, you off to a good start?

Too bad she wasn’t writing an article on being an escort… you could have said that she really blew it.
