I take all such feedback seriously and promised to re-read the post.<br /><br />While my friend's concerns are well taken, I think the post is left as is. The explicit description of my interaction with the prostitute is, I think, important in that it conveys the very base nature of the experience.<br /><br />As I've written, not that the sex act involved itself is "wrong" or "dirty," but it was very raw and almost shocking to me at the time. For that reason, the dysphemistic effect -- i.e., the shocking effect of using the word "blow job" instead of some euphemism -- of the description used is important.<br /><br />As always, I appreciate the feedback tremendously, even if in this case I didn't take it to heart!Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06691766827578927691noreply@blogger.com
