While work is always an effort, work that one loves and finds rewarding is also a source of joy and fulfillment (not to mention money). So when one has a good week full of work, with generous and interesting gentlemen whose company one enjoys, there’s a kind of pleasant tiredness at the end of it that goes beyond mere contentment and job satisfaction to a broader sense of a life well-lived. And for someone like me, who has a lot of trouble getting her nervous system to settle into anything like “relaxation” even when she’s soaking in a hot tub, that’s a really nice place to be. Obviously, it’s an ephemeral place, but that’s OK; though I hate to get philosophical (a terrible lie), the entire universe and everything in it is ephemeral to one degree or another, and all we can hope for is to maximize the nice parts while minimizing the bad ones. That’s why I’m taking even more steps to increase the amount of time spent with people I love, while decreasing that spent in unpleasant pursuits. And if you want to spend time with me (in or out of hot tubs), eating good food and enjoying good conversation and other adult pleasures, you know how to get in contact with me. Why put it off? You, too, can maximize the nice parts of your life, and I’m very good at helping people to do that.

Thank You for showing yourself topless.
I really appreciate sex workers and it is a shame they are denigrated both by law and custom.
Very lovely!
