Week 2 Blog Post

-In my week 1 blog post, I asked a series of questions regarding the topic, "sex work". By asking those questions I was able to generate 3 topics related to "sex work". In this weeks blog post, I am going to focus on the topic; Raising a family while working in the sex industry.

-I personally am not "connected" to this topic. I do not work in the sex industry and do not have children. However, this topic interests me because in today's society, many sex workers face harsh feedback for their job description. They are grilled with questions and comments regarding their morals and religious beliefs. The average person generally thinks that an individual working in the sex  industry cannot be a fit parent. Shockingly, many men and women enter the sex industry strictly to provide for their children. I think writing about this topic will not only give myself a whole new outlook on parents working in the sex industry, but also to those who are reading and following my blog postings.

-The research question I came up with for this topic is:
What are some daily challenges a person raising a family while working in the sex industry face?

-Some other questions I have developed while brainstorming this topic are:

• What percentage of "sex workers" have children?
• Does a person who is raising a family by day and working in the sex industry at night tell others in their community their job description? 
• What specifically is the hardest part of being a parent and working in the sex industry?
• Would a "sex worker" ever tell their child their job description when the child grew older?
• How has becoming part of the sex industry affected an individual's relationships with their family and friends?
• If a person working in the sex industry can change one common misconception of how people view "sex workers" what would it be?
