I‘ve brought RPD back online for the time being, but I will not be adding anything new to it any time soon. I had prepared a somewhat elaborate explanation as to why I’d continue to update RPD periodically, but upon further reflection I just don’t have it in me to continue writing right here, right now. I have neither the drive nor the desire to write, and those of you who know me know I don’t do things half-assed.
That’s a shame, in my opinion. I think I do a pretty good job of articulating my thoughts and opinions on various matters, including sex workers’ rights. People have asked me what my favorite posts have been over the past two years. It’d have to be my posts blaming society as a whole for Julissa Brisman’s death, and demonstrating how Donna Hughes and her ilk advocate the abuse of sex workers. My “how-to” posts have been quite popular as well.
I’ve spent the past six years writing and debating others about why those who sell sex as a service should be afforded the same rights and privileges as everyone else in society. And while I still feel that way passionately, I just don’t have the heart to stand in front of others (virtually or otherwise) and do that right now. Nor do I feel like trying to put into words what I do, what I’ve done, and what I think. When you lose your voice, you don’t even feel like talking.
Therefore, there’ll be no more posts here on RPD. I have a thesis I have to produce, and maybe all of this is Karma’s way of putting me in a position where I can concentrate solely on that and get it done without so many distractions. I’ll graduate in May and then get the fuck out of this city, to go on to bigger and better things. I’ll continue seeing my regular clients as long as they wish me to, but will not be accepting any new clients at all. I’ve ceased almost all of my other projects except for two, one of which is the My First Professional Sex web site (I’ll continue accepting and posting stories there so long as people submit them).
The Tumblrs will remain in place, but I don’t plan to post any more photos to them until perhaps the middle of the year. AlexaRPD on Twitter will be going away in rather short order, but I’ll have another Twitter to keep in touch with some close friends.
For those who’ve expressed support for me over the past few weeks, I sincerely appreciate your words and thoughts. It means a lot to me. For those who pretended to be friends while talking shit about me behind my back while you thought I wasn’t looking, fuck you (and I mean that passionately as well). For those of you behind the Exposeaho bullshit, STFU already and find something else to do with your time; you’re not helping (though I did get tickled at your choice of who to expose first).
Just a note that all comments from this point forward are going to be moderated, so if you’re planning on posting something antagonistic, save your energy because it won’t make it out of moderation (and I won’t read past what I need to to realize it’s bullshit).
With that, I’ll bid each of you adieu.

Seriously?
I’m completely bummed.
As a long time reader, yours has been one of the few blogs that I follow. I’ve never felt the need to comment until now. I’ve just always enjoyed your writing, musings, and totally hot adventures. But over the past few days when your site was down, I found myself checking daily to see when you’d return.
You’re a great writer, Alexa. Period. With a completely sexy and unique perspective. Your voice will be missed. And I know I, for one, am completely sorry that a few asshats have ruined things for you and the rest of your fans.
Good luck in your future endeavors. I’ll miss your blog dearly.
I had to impose a similar sort of discipline on myself to push through my own thesis, and it was hard, but it was absolutely the right step.
Your writing and experiences here and elsewhere were a real gift. I wish you the very best.
It makes me sick to see grown adults using the internet as a tool to harass others (that’s what disturbs me the most here) they have to feel like an ass at the end, and if they don’t they’re truly one. I know I have told you in the past to just ignore it and it’ll fade, but I can see your point of not having a voice or not wanting at this time to continue. To dedicate time and energy and then have others for no reason try to destroy it has to be discouraging. At least I have the privilege to hear from you outside of AlexaRPD and I look forward to that. Good luck in all your paths you choose in life.
xoxo
Sorry to see you go, and sorry for the pain I detect. All the best to you on the thesis, and on your future endeavors. Look forward to your return!
Alexa,
You are one of the most articulate and forward thinking writers in the sex work milieu. I have been following your writing for over a year and I am consistently blown away by your hyper-liberal mind and your unwavering conviction. Your sophisticated approach to the naughtiest of subjects persuades your audience to look at sex work from a different perspective, a vantage point where the sex worker is a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman who provides an ancient, sacred service to the clients who seek it out of nothing short of necessity.
I adore you.

You taught us about respect
Shared with all who cared to read, an honest heart.

Good Luck, you just maybe the Anais Nin of our time
You are very brave, and we sense strong.
What an elegant naughtiness you posess, magical !!

As an infrequent yet ardent follower, I too will miss you and your wonderful posts. I emailed you with an offer once (maybe you still have the email). My offer still stands. Best of luck to you, and loved and admired your words, your energy, and your work.

OH NO! I dont wanna see you go. I was just thinking “Man Alexa has been gone on va-ca for a while now, I wonder whats up?” and then i come here to see that ur indeffinatly taking a break. Well I do hope that u get ur will to talk back and start posting again, but if u dont, It was a good run.
I shall miss u very much, from ur sex advice colum, Ur views and Opinons on all things political, especialy sex workers rights, to ur very hot recap of ur past sexual expliotes, to ur very fun live twitter sex(I followed at least 2 of them min. by min.) U are an amazing woman who is a perfect mix of beauty, brains, and nympho. I truely have a sinking feeling in my chest right now, cuz i do not want to see u go.
All I can say now it good luck with everything in ur life. Good luck with graduating and choosing what to do with the rest of ur life. Dont ever change, and stay true to yourslef, cuz u have acomplished sooo much because of it.

Hey, Lady…
Have been so engrossed in my own little world, I had no idea all this shaiza was going on for you.
Thanks for gracing the net with your wit, compassion, fun, and intelligent, saucy and sexy discourse.
You will be missed. I hope all is OK in your world and that you take all “this” (and I’m still not up on all what “this” is…just read about it/you on another blog as I was making my rounds for the first time in about six weeks).
Good luck and tidings in your continuing adventures. I applaud you. When you have a strong voice, there will be challenge, yes?

Thank you for your posts and all those classy erotic images in the Alexa Collection of Erotic Images.
Best wishes…
Wishing you well

O.o
Alexa…thanks so much for all you’ve done!! Your blog has been an inspiration to me while dealing with all the bullshit that goes with waiting to go to trial…
I’m sad that the RPD run is coming to an end, but I do understand it…I get days when I just want to cave and tell my lawyer…ok, let’s make a deal…but then I think to myself…nope…my kids would never forgive me…
So, again, thanks so much! Whenever I’m down, I’ll continue to come for a re-read and wait for the subliminal “fight them” pixels to enter my brain via osmosis…
Lusting always,
Sydnee (in Winnipeg)

Hi Alexa,
It saddens me what’s going on with RPD. I regret not getting connected with you. I visited RPD periodically because your style of writing is tasteful and passionate. Through your words, I can see how beautiful of a person you are without needing a picture. It’s funny because I prefer visuals like images over writing most of the time but with your writing, I was fully satisfied just using my imagination to visualize your experiences. I would like to thank you for contributing your own two cents to the internet and making it fun for the short period I was able to read your blog. Best of luck to you in the future, which I know you will dominate and achieve whatever you set out on.

Well, it was a good thing you had going on here.
To bad it is over.
Ah! I have been a quiet reader of your blog for a long time, never really left any comments in your posts – but I loved every single one! I’m so sorry for all the troubles you’ve been having with stupid people…I hope everything gets better. Good luck with your thesis :)
Long time reader,
Lynn
Hey, ex obscuretate en lucem. Out of darkness comes light. All good things must come to an end. Thank you for posting new on your tumblr. Also thank you for introducing me to Paul Cardell. So soothing.
I’m gonna miss you lady!
“…We’ve only just begun…”
We’ll miss you Princess, hope you feel the urge to come back soon x
Having been tied up with far too much medically, but essential, going on in my own world, I missed all the shenanigans that have been going on.
I’m sad that things have come to an end in this way. I have enjoyed your writings very much.
Good luck with all your future endeavours.
Alice.
Although I’ve just arrived, I’m sad to see you go.
I know not what happened, but regret that it is so.
As a local of the city, I think everyone would say,
we wish you best when you go your separate way.
Your writing was excellent, your prose top-notch.
After reading many, I felt a swelling in my… heart.
I’ve always been curious about what girls do and think.
Your stories were enlightening without wasting much ink.
Many regard your profession with disdain.
Your stories deny the evil and make the good plain.
In my favorites, your page I will stick.
While reading, I’ll probably be holding my… mouse.
I’ve been offline for a few weeks, so I’ve only just discovered that you’re giving up the blog. I’m sorry to learn that you’ve given up Twitter too since you were one of my favourite Twits as well as being a highly articulate and compelling blogger. I wish you well in all your future enterprises; you have a lot of brains and a lot of heart, so I know you will succeed in whatever you choose to do. Adieu, Alexa.
Hi Alexa,
I just want you to know I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and I am sorry to see you go. I wish you all the best.
