SAN FRANCISCO – It’s higher education of the horizontal variety.
About 25 sex workers went to a college of sorts, sitting through lectures on effective marketing, stress reduction and, um, sex-toy skills.
“We are still illegal,” instructor Kimberlee Cline said before her 20-minute demonstration. “If we want to be treated as business professionals, we need to act ethically within the industry.”
Presented in conjunction with the San Francisco Sex Worker Film and Arts Festival, the class Wednesday at an erotic art gallery was billed as a way for working girls and guys to polish their skills in a supportive atmosphere.
“My own personal experience has been negative and positive, as with any job,” said Kymberly Cutter, 36, a mother of two from Tucson who returned to prostitution two years ago to boost her income and regards it as part of a journey in “personal self-discovery.” Her children, ages 7 and 9, know what she does for a living, she said.
Participants who stuck it out for the whole day received diplomas certifying them as G.S.W – graduates in sex work.

Well look, lots of people do sex work. It is, after all, the oldest profession. If those people can get together and support each other that’s probably a good thing – it’s a dangerous world out there, particularly for that profession.
Yes, I agree, the certifiacte is a little cheezy, but the education itself is not. It does work toward ligitimazing their profession, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
Any Certificate of Achievement is important. My 5 year old daughter just got a certificate from the local library for attending Story Time every week. She is proud of that accomplishment and the certificate. In a couple of weeks she graduates from pre-school. I think she will be even more pleased with that certificate.
I see nothing wrong with sex for money. To do so willingly doesn’t bother me but I hate seeing people forced to do something they would not otherwise do. Most prostitutes are in the business because of poverty and / or drug abuse. Many others are in some form of slavery.
