Who truly had a "bad day" on March 16th in Atlanta? The eight people who lost their lives to Robert Aaron Long.
The senseless murder of eight people by Long underlines the dangers of doing sex work.
Hi there, it’s Mysterious Witt, just your run-of-the-mill call-girl-next-door. Let’s just say I’m as shaken by the events on Monday, March 16th, as probably many of you are.
As an escort, the murder of seven sex workers and one customer at the hands of one enraged twenty-one-year-old man really hit home for me.
I wrote up my own reflections on this massacre in a piece in Sugar Cubed called, “When Men Resent the ‘Temptation’ of Sex Workers, Women Die”. You can read this piece by clicking here.
In this piece, I discuss how the dangers of sex work are constantly on my mind when I session with men I don’t know. And still, I’m fully cognizant of just how sheltered I am in comparison to the women who were shot by Long while at work.
I’m educated, white, a legal citizen of this country. I meet clients through my internet ads and put them through a strict vetting process before we ever step into a room together.
Massage parlors employees don’t get to screen clients like I do.
I also discuss how our sex-negative culture, which paints our most natural sexual needs as abnormal and debauched, may have prompted Long to lash out against the women working in these massage parlors. He just couldn’t accept the control he perceived sex workers having over him. He felt disgusted and threatened by his sexual desires.
This is still a developing story, of course. I would be open to hearing your own thoughts on this tragedy. I’m available for questions or comments either here or on Medium.
For those of you who would like to contact me privately, please buy me a coffee then private message me.

On a happier note, some of you may not have seen a piece I wrote a while back entitled, All Your Questions About an Escort’s Vagina, Answered. If not, I recommend you check this piece out.
It was very popular on Medium because inquiring minds want to know… everything about an escort’s punani.
And, of course, I end this piece in my typical way:
How I use my vagina is ultimately my decision — no one else’s.
Hoping the next time you hear from me will be on a happier note. Until then, please be safe.
Oh, and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter. I’m also open to DM chats there as well. Please just buy me a coffee first. I want to make sure I’m nice and caffeinated before our chat.
Big hug,
Mysterious
