[SWAF-Potluck] Advice for a Partner of SW

[Esther Shannon]

Such an interesting situation and seems like a good guy. Sadly,  Ihave no suggestions for resources other then Dan Savage  - he always has good links and books to suggest. However, I would expect this fellow already knows about him?

We each have certain boundaries, of course, like anyone in any kind of relationship may have, but the nature of sex work can sometimes blur the lines and lead to conflict.

She generally enjoys the work, but the sheen is definitely wearing off, and she is looking to write a viable exit plan that will leave her with enough money to finish her degree debt-free.  She hopes to shortly reduce her involvement to just occasional in-calls with a few of her established regulars, no more scheduled shifts and and no more new clients.  Her long-term plan is to walk-away from the industry completely before graduation. I am doing whatever I can to help her meet her goals.
