Unionize Prostitutes

Unionize prostitutes, Newfoundland labour leader urges

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland - Prostitutes should belong to unions and enjoy the same benefits as any other workers, says a major Newfoundland labour leader.

Wayne Lucas, provincial president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, urged the change to a St. John's radio program on the weekend. Wayne Lucas

"Work is work," Lucas told VOCM Niteline. "These are working people."

He said the union doesn't want to profit from prostitution, but wants to make things better for the workers.

"The people who work in that trade, they certainly deserve some of the benefits that other workers have traditionally received in their work fields."

Prostitutes should have access to benefits such as health care and pensions, he said.

"They're people, just like your next-door neighbour," he said. "They could be a sister of ours, a mother, a cousin. They're out and they're in a dangerous field."

The union, Canada's largest, has more than half a million members across Canada, including workers in health care, education, social services, public utilities, transportation and emergency services.

Taking Time for Yourself

Among the key attributes of a successful escort is the self-confidence and self-possession that she exudes. In fact, the ownership and control she has over her own life and her own body are what helped her decide on a career as an escort in the first place.

It is easy for people to think that an escort "fell into" the industry out of desperation or because she had no choice, but the truth is that many successful escorts love their jobs. They enjoy making their clients happy and love the freedoms that come along with running their own lives independently.

A successful escort does not treat her job like a pit stop, but she gives it the attention that any entrepreneur gives a growing business.

You are fortunate to be working for yourself, as you have the luxury of deciding how much you want to work and how much you want to earn. Some self-employed people eventually come to a point where they have to ask themselves, "Am I working to live or living to work?"

Time management is crucial to eliminating those nagging questions about whether your business is controlling you, or vice versa.

As an escort, try to remember that while it is your job to take care of your clients' needs, it is also your job to take care of yourself. Make sure you take the time you need to do the things you enjoy. Don't let your clients try to convince you that you should book on when it's clear that is your day off.

Those days are allotted for you to spend time with your friends or family. Don't push away the people in your life who mean most to you because of your job. If you push yourself too much by pleasing others, you can become resentful of your clients and your job.

You should give yourself the advantages other business owners have. Make sure you are saving or investing. Make sure you are taking care of your body and have a health plan and health care professionals who you trust. If you need a health care plan, please e-mail me for more information.

My ebook, "How to Become an Escort", is full of tips on how to be the best escort you can be while remaining in full control of your life and your future. I have gathered resources to help both escort agency escorts and independent escorts protect themselves, remain safe, plan for their financial future, be healthy, and look their absolute best.

It is crucial that you show yourself the respect you deserve. When you do, your customers will show YOU the same respect.

Historic Courtesans

Since the time of mankind's first written records, prostitute-priestesses have dedicated themselves to religious service in temples of worship.

Ishtar the Harlot

It really is the oldest profession.

Ishtar the famous goddess was the first prostitute of the earliest known civilization Sumer, then of Babylonia.

Her many other names over the centuries included Great Wh*re of Babylon, Heavenly Prostitute, and Mother of Harlots, as well as Har and Hora from which the words harlot and wh*re derive.

She was said to call herself a "compassionate prostitute".

Babylonian sculptures honoring Ishtar depict her as a sacred prostitute in a window, awaiting customers.

For thousands of years, high priestesses dutifully performed ritual sexual couplings with Sumerian kings to grant them Ishtar's power.

Over 4,300 years ago, one of these prostitute-priestesses, Enheduana, wrote the oldest words by an author whose name is known today; archeologists have unearthed many clay tablets of her cuneiform poetry.

The Babylonians emulated the Sumerian custom on a larger scale: prostitutes called ishtaritu inhabited the temples of Ishtar by offering themselves to any male worshipper who paid the required contribution. In fact, every Babylonian woman was expected to go to a temple and perform the rite with a stranger at least once in her life. There was no shame in such temple prostitution; on the contrary, it was a sacred means of attaining divine union between man and goddess.

Indeed, in the epic of Gilgamesh (written around 2,000 BC) a Babylonian temple prostitute civilizes a wild man of the forest by sleeping with him.
