Pardon My French

Let’s face it, most of us sex workers lead double lives. We call ourselves “Mandy”, “Suzette”, or “Trixie” while we’re working and adopt a certain personality to match our chosen name. It is often done to keep our anonymity in a line of work that is viewed with shame and embarrassment to those in the “real” world. (I’m not saying this applies to me, just the preconceived notion.) We hope not to run into our clients during our non-sex work lives, but if we do, we also hope they don’t expose us or call us by our working names. Sex workers keep a lot of secrets and all we can do is hope that our clients like to keep secrets too.
