New laws lead to new habits

So, this whole SESTA-FOSTA thing has really changed the whole world of pay for play.  I have basically quit...well I quit a while ago but now I could not even start again if I wanted to.

That's not 100% true...I could...it would just take a lot of effort, and I am nothing if not lazy.

All the advertising and message boards are dead, blocked by anyone in the USA.  There is still Twitter and some other places where you can see the "Women of the Night", but all the review sites are down.  It's frustrating, I used to occasionally read the forums and reviews.  It was nice to be connected to that community in some small way.  It was interesting to see who was available, even if I was not buying at the time.

I even have bouts of paranoia and wonder if they are tracking and following me...lol.  That is why I took my blog down for a week...I was scared.  Completely unfounded...maybe.  They have been blocking some women from entering the USA based on facial recognition from websites that promote prostitution.  Others have had their bank accounts frozen.  It is really weird how far reaching this legislation is.

It makes a lil' ol' John a bit skittish.

I would LOVE to speak out against it...but how can I?  I have a family that should not know about my extra activities.  I have a profession that would make it hard to make money if anything went public.  I have too much to lose to speak out, I wish it was not true.

Not that my voice would matter much, but I am sure that there are many who feel the same as I and if we could all speak out...well...I don't know what would happen.

I feel like there are a lot of people who still view prostitution as evil.  I don't think that will change any time soon.  If you are a wife then I bet you are against it.  If you are religious at all, then, most likely against it, and there is a SHIT LOAD of religion in the USA.

I think this will be an uphill fight for a long time because our country is rather clear that they are more interested in punishment and oppression then harm reduction and freedom.

I retired/quit a while ago but I still have a mental toe in the water and if I am honest with myself...I will jump back in if the opportunity presents itself, I just like sex...like a real mammal.
