Add on to that the fact that she also has a number of other blogs under different aliases all with different histories, and it makes one wonder how much she can be trusted and if she's only out for the self-serving publicity. Besides, women that have high-end clientele, typically avoid the spotlight and and stay-under-the-radar during these times, otherwise those same clients would avoid them because of the publicity they seek. People for the most part should cast a critical eye and ask for proof when someone makes claims like that. Of course this doesn't say much about Diane Sawyer, giving someone like JT Leroy or LonelyGirl15 a platform.

This is one of the main reasons sex work can be so distasteful. The hate, blame, and shame around sex work makes it very hard to be open about with your friends and family, let alone strangers. Keeping the secret itself can be extra work. You wrote: “And I would submit that almost none of them feels the anxiety as acutely as the callgirl…”

To hear SWANK tell it, “From New York to California, daily reports of Pink Scare-fueled police busts, e-stings and raids, even at legal venues like strip clubs and dungeons, have reached a fever pitch.” [...] […] There’s a pretty depressing post on the Blowfish Blog today talking about the paranoia and persecution that surrounds sex workers… But the “Pink Scare” that SWANK refers to is part of a larger paranoia about sex, especially the commerce in sex, that is nothing new.
