Callie Simms has a post made of WIN:
I don’t know why men (yes, it is men only - never women) think because we write about sex, marketing sex, sex & society et al., that we are available. I was astonished to find how many mainstream, social media/SEO men would contact me via Twitter or Facebook to see if we could have “drinks”. I was excited at first, “Wow - mainstream people take note of my work and wanting to meet!”
Uh, I realized that “coffee” was not their intention, it was can I get a free piece of ass and someone to support me. This progressed into another interesting phenomena: When I would attend webinar as “Callie” that I would receive emails from employees of the companies that hosted the webinar. Again, I thought it was about the company itself, but it wasn’t. The only thing it was about was their employee’s side adult businesses, or should I say - wanna be businesses. It prompted the series I wrote on being an ethical marketer. I’ve learned some valuable lessons.
So now I can say - No, you will not fuck me and no, I am not gonna teach you to be an adult marketer for free. You will PAY ME - for marketing consulting, not for sex that is.

One Response to "More on a recurring theme"
I know, being a guy who reads sex-centric blogs all over (Violet Blue, Jayme Waxman, Susie Bright, Ren Ev, etc) because I am interested in sex, sexuality and the women’s perspective on this, I have been worried at times that I am perceived incorrectly, as a man who only wishes to find the shortest route to getting laid. The only way to combat this is to simply show through my words, actions and behaviors that this is not who I am. Yes, I am a straight man, but I also happen to have always been interested in women’s views on sex for its own sake and also to help educate me so as to be a better, more understanding partner & friend to women in my life.
