Hm considering that I have a highly sporadic relationship to the whole thing, I don't consider that I have anything to hide. I've told some of my male friends, which appeared suprised of my experiences and did not ask anything. I also tell the truth to any girlfriend who ask the question. They get curious about the ''whys'' but up to now I've never been rejected because of it. The ones who are 'shocked' simply assume that men and women have the same level of sexual freedom, and getting the reverse message from an man which is attractive enough for them burst their bubble. Their subconcious tells them "If I was a man, maybe I would be doing it too", and then they project their self judgment on me for a few minutes. Very good way to spot immature people. There is also one female ex-girlfriend-now-friend who think my few adventures are interesting, and is curious about it.
The way I view it, my experiences allowed me to get rid of my inner-bitch. There is nothing less ''manly'' than whinning about your sexual frustrations and being a helpless about the situation. Its perfectly normal to test your limits, and a lot can be learned by observing the differences between your experience and your fantasy. Simply knowing that SP-SB-wathever exist and that I can access it at will makes me less nervous sexually, and as a result I'm more attractive. I think its called ''integrating your shadow''. I'm also very grateful to understand a bit more about the lives and challenges of sex workers and their clients. I view it as a part of society that we are not collectively mature enough to deal with. At the end of the day, we are the only one who can truly fool ourselves.
