This is not directly about sexwork but i have not related to a movie this much in a long time.
So i just watched “departures” for the first time. I felt like the way he has to hide his job from everyone and the way his friend and wife react when they find out is very very similar to sexwork. It was really emotional for me to see this in a movie and i felt very understood. I feel like its much the same taboo. Just like this guy i have a job that means a lot to me and that i’m very emotionally invested in but that other people are really grossed out by and want nothing to do with, like its a bad thing.
And would definitely consider this as a possible carreer change in the future.
We just watched it this evening and loved it. Thinking about the similarities to sexwork as @User#8628 pointed out made the movie even more interesting.
And Alice, if you ever get into this career, I’d imagine there’d be tons of guys who would want you to send them off that way (assuming you are like the main character and not like the ones that tried to do his father )
