1. How's your realtionship with your father?
It was fine till he and my mom divorced when I was about 13-14, I then saw him regularly for about 2 years after that but when I was about 15-16 we had some argument over some stupid thing and I, being an insane hormone flooded teenager said "I'm never going to come see you again' and he being a little stubborn and wanting to put me in my place I guess said something along the lines of "fine".
And so I didn't, well here and there, but not much. Eventually he moved to a different state leaving me and my other sister to live with our mom while he and my brother left.
2. What do I need to do as a father to ensure my daughter NEVER gets into sex work.
(not trying to judge you, just don't want my kid doing it)
I find it a little funny that you think it has anything to do with your behavior as a father. Lots of women come to this business from lots of paths with lots of backgrounds.
I actually wrote a long response but unfortunately my computer locked up before I could polish it off and post it so I'm going to keep this short instead.
Basically it boils down to this. When your daughter reaches an age where she's attractive to most men (17, 18 ), if she is active on the internet then she's almost certainly going to be solicited in a chat room or on myspace, that kind of social networking thing.
It doesnt matter what her sexual experience or relationship with you is like at that point, I actually had pretty much no sexual experience except reading about it on the internet, and I was still getting solicited in chat rooms and I was totally put off by the idea of casual sex and prostitution was about a million miles from my mind. But offers popped up, not all the time, but often enough that I knew it was out there even though I hadn't actually ever been with a guy at all.
Things are kind of fuzzy but over the course of the next few years I had wound up reading about the escort business out of curiosity. The same curiosity that has people reading this thread and asking questions I guess.
Eventually I did wind up turning a trick shortly after my second relationship ended because I needed some quick cash, and I thought no more about the escort business after that other then "hey that was easy and it saved my ass"
I moved back in with my mom for a year and a half or so, till I found another job and did it for 9 months (it was a 9 month contract) I had pretty much forgot all about my one time trying to be an escort and was in the process of a job hunt so me and a close friend could move in together, well my mom got impatient, set us up with an apartment, we moved into it figuring we could live off our savings accounts, and we did for a while. But the company that "hired her" decided they didnt want to actually start her for 6 months. I was still hunting and having no luck. Eventually I stopped sending resumes and started filing out applications for shitty jobs, as did she. We had started to run out of money, she didnt have anyone she could ask for help and I wasn't going to ask anyone because I come from a family where someone always has their hand out wanting a freebie and I didnt want to be like that.
Once again Someone solicited me on yahoo chat. It sparked my memory, I did my research, placed an ad, and got a pretty successful little business going. My roomie eventually gave it a try and did ok at first to and eventually when the company that "hired her" said "ok,we're ready for you to come to work" she blew them off and it's all developed from there.
So basically it's a matter of the opportunity presents itself to any young woman on the internet. If your daughter is attractive and uses the internet, she's gonna get solicited, pretty much no matter what. The only way to insure she doesn't take someone up on it is to ensure that she doesn't need money.
My mom put me in a sink or swim situation so I did what I had to do, found out that it wasn't what the world had told me it was. Found out that if you approach it smartly that it's a good opportunity, and I've thus stuck with it.
Edit: Reading this amused at how much I suck at being brief and basically retyped everything i had typed before my computer locked up.
