I think of dommes as people with a special personality and skill. Within the profession there are some who are excellent and others who are medium and others who are mediocre.

Of the dommes I have seen more than once it is because I esteem, admire or appreciate them. One was a nurse or similar health practitioner prior to domming . . . one was doing programming or coding, if I remember correctly.

In any case, I do not think of any domme in an stigmatizing way, other than some minor fraction are dumb and incompetent!

Oh, supposedly the escort seen frequently or repeatedly by Elliot Spitzer the guy of New York went on to do and perhaps is still doing futures or commodities trading. If so, she would likely be both highly educated and well-skilled. It is only a small fraction of traders in futures who do so successfully over time.

The Buddhist saying, if I remember things right, is no one steps in the same river twice, meaning, each person and situation is different, from hour to hour, from year to year, from moment to moment.
