Lately, I’ve been nursing the singed nerves of that all-too-human Sex Worker Burn Out (SWBO).
Instead of exacerbating the condition with a long post, I’ll just link up to Annie Sprinkle’s indispensable How-To for a “Cure”:
STEP 1 – Admit you are burnt out. This sounds easy, but it’s the hardest step. Our egos, as well as our incomes, are invested in feeling good about our work. It’s not easy to admit that you are a mess. See it as an opportunity to grow.
I hereby admit it! Dr. Sprinkle, many thanks for all your relationship-minded, Whore-healin’ work.

I have my own special term for SWBO. I call it “Hooker’s Hangover.” Search for that term at my blog and you’ll see what I mean. By the way, I just posted a couple simple questions for other sex workers at my blog. If you have a moment, please take a look and leave a comment: http://www.peridotash.com/?p=247
Thanks!

Ha! I love it. I’ve never had the hooker’s hangover, but I’m super happy this exists.
