Should I ever have to tell?

I've done sex work for a number of years. Recently, my life turned upside down and now I'm homeless, mainly by choice, and I've not done any sex work in almost 2 months. When or if I decide to re-enter society, get a vanilla job, maybe date, all that stuff. Does anyone have a right to know or is the past just that, the past.

  • It's your call.
    If you're disease free then no. No one needs to know about your past. I've dated prostitutes so for me your past might excite me. For others your past... they might consider you the most disgusting creature in the history of mankind.
    Shallow weak whiny fools if you ask me.
    Your goal should be recovering (my opinion). I hope you're drug free. I know that's hard to break out of.
    Being the best version of you possible.
    I truly hope you find what you need.

    • yeah, drugs aren't my thing, so that isn't an issue. Just things happened and I needed a break from life, from people, from pressure.

    • Wishing you all the best from my end.

  • There is no reason to tell anyone. However, if you don't show a regular job on your resume/application, they might ask questions about what you were doing. If you are really 18-24, it would not be too unusual to never had a job.

    If you wait much longer though, it's going to be harder to justify why you have no job experience, unless you lie. You need to get *something* for job experience, even if it's a fast food job. So at this point, it's probably a good idea to take whatever is offered to get it on your resume/application. Then keep looking for better. That's a good way to do it for anyone with any background. You need to get that job experience. That's what entry level jobs are for.

  • You don’t have to tell anyone anything you aren’t comfortable telling. But it could be a really amazing bonding experience being able to be vulnerable and share that information with a trusted partner.

    • Yeah, just never met anyone I trust that much.. I think in fairy tales it's great, irl, not so much

    • @asker that makes sense. Maybe someday you will find a truly wonderful, understanding man you could open up to. :)

  • Nobody is entitled to know anything you don’t want to share.

  • Leave the past where it belongs, in the past. Get tested first.

  • With the world the way it is, I cannot imagine why you choose to be homeless. The longer you stay homeless, the harder it will be to reenter society when you choose to. As for getting work, you always have to fill out applications which ask you what you were doing for each bit of your timeline. The sooner you get a real life that you can document, the better off you will be.

  • I always say it is better to leave a few things Left Unsaid.
    There are things in my life that I have done and I will never tell a soul. No one needs to know and I don't have to explain either.
    So, if you do get back into society, keep things from your past in the past.
    Good Luck.

  • You don't need to, but the person deserves to know what type of person they are dating, if it was me I would like to know about my partners past if it was bad like that. But again if someone told me hey I did sex work guess what they would be dumped.

  • it will depend on how many know u that u had done that job and how many have banged u... the people banged u will always try to fuck u whenever they get an opportunity to

  • DM me?

  • I mean he/she should know but its up to you

  • Your life you choose if you wish to say it or not

  • The right people will understand and the ones who are self righteous won't. I say yeah you tell them and own it

  • Nobody has a right to know unless you want them to.

  • U should tell it to your date/flirt/valentine etc.
    but u don't have to do the same for others.

  • I would like to know about your past. Your past is Not just a past it's your past and something that your personality build on.
    Besides, if a guy can't accept your past he should not get to have your future

  • Its up to you but u dont have to
