   Jeanette describes in the article that she never felt safe at home. I also wouldn’t feel safe if my mum had been a prostitute and men were coming in and out. But I was very happy when reading that she was first in family to get a degree.

   Sexylady,

   Her mother wasn’t working — she was the landlord of a house where the women worked. My point wasn’t that it was a perfect childhood (few are), only that it need not have been the shameful secret she felt it was.

   I thought you might find it interesting that “MSM” also stands for “Men who have Sex with Men”… it’s a term used by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) as well as many others who are doing research on sexuality and HIV to account for men who, well… have sex with with men… but who do not identify as gay or bisexual. The sex they have with men is on the “down low,” or they just have sex mostly with women and so they still consider themselves straight.

   For a sec there I thought maybe you would be writing about male-male sex and escorting in the UK!

   Vic,

   As someone who has read a lot of material about AIDS and various other STIs, I’m fully well-aware of what MSM can also stand for, which is why I indicated which acronym I was using right underneath the title.
