> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > I can’t say that I care whether you personally do or don’t call it prostitution, but if you look up in the upper left hand corner of this webpage you’ll see a little statement saying that we’re trying to fight ignorance. In this case the expert answer is that no, it probably doesn’t make sense to call a professional dominant a prostitute. Fighting ignorance requires facts, not merely replacing an arbitrary word definition with another arbitrary word definition that strikes one as being friendlier. ---

When we feel backed into a corner, some people get very analytical and others very **emotional**. We think with the side of our brains that we’re most comfortable–the whole left-brain/right brain thing. That didn’t even make sense. I changed it with the bold. I hope it at least makes some sense now. **APT** , I don’t know your style in this, so I’m not claiming anything about that, just giving another way of looking at things.
