I consider polite respect toward assholes to be the sine qua non of professional behavior. In the case of sex workers, or simple exotic dancers, I would think the relevant factors would be (1) whether they consider themselves professionals in that sense, and (2) whether, because a dancer's or sex worker's gig is all about client emotions, the whole act shifts into a zone totally beyond anything your average real estate agent ever has to suffer. - Patrick Gillam ------------------------ Yahoo!
