Sex workers serve a remarkably valuable role in the world, bringing basic human companionship and touch to many for whom it is otherwise unavailable.  For this they ought be revered rather than, as so often, censured. (And I say this from a dispassionate vantage point as one who has yet to avail myself of such services.)

It is an unreasonably difficult vocation in so many ways.  That’s why I urge those of like mind to join me in underwriting their local sex worker support organization through donations of time, money, and/or goods like toiletries. My local one is HIPS (www.hips.org), but there are others all over the country.  Please help care for those who provide the great and caring gift of human contact.
