The article in the newspapers recently has prompted much discussion on IC especially about privacy but surely what prevoked the newspaper interest was that she was a "PRO" This surely makes all the difference. | |||

No, it was because she was a teacher.

+1 - even though the article said she posed no risk. | |||

Of course it was allied by her being a teacher but do you seriously believe the newspapers are interested in the sexual preferences of all the countrys teachers

And that it was BDSM. You could have a second job on the side as a professional window cleaner - it would still be a problem with these job contracts, but I'm suspecting that that tabloids won't be out to expose you... | |||

if it sells papers I think they would put anything in their pages. | |||

If a teacher had a sexual preference for BDSM so what. No story there then. Well not one that sells papers anyway | |||

but it obviously does sell papers as bdsm is branded with wors like perverts, sex, bondage etc and teachers work with kids and therefore the local community would get the flaming torches | |||

Scandal + hysteria = £ Scandal + hysteria + sex = ££ Scandal + hysteria + sex + "won't someone think of the children?!?!" = ££££££££ All the time people buy this crap, the papers will keep printing it. There is nothing to prove | |||

I think that unless there is loads of actual important stuff in the news that week, a teacher rumbled moonlighting in any form of sex work would have copped it. | |||

If a teacher has a second job which invloves sexual services for money then that is the story. The BDSM aspect is irrelevent really. |
