So they prefer the term full service sex workers for sex workers that engage in sexual acts with their clients. Well, I know there is some stigma with the word "prostitute", but we should leave it where it belongs: in the minds of those who wants to create that stigma. It's not like we're using an explicitly offensive term, but a common term that we use without judgment (really like the issue we had with the "Gay" word).

Euji wrote: Sex worker is a blanket term for anyone who sells sex like a stripper would be considered a sex worker, but not a full service sex worker. So I agree that it would be good for categories too. Indeed, I hadn't thought that way. But still, "Full service sex worker" seems too much to me, when prostitution covers it.

SO, what I propose could be:
 * We create the category "sex workers" as a blanket term for all kind of sex workers.
 * We use the occupation module to create auto-categorization to the sex workers category for: "pornography actors", "strippers", "prostitutes", etc. (I don't think others than those three will appears regularly in Marvel and be needed). Sex worker is sometimes used for prostitution but isn't exclusive, so if it is the word used for a character, I guess we could include it (but that means that (as always) the page must be complete, and not just the infobox (as some users only fill those...).
 * If the category become overcrowed, we create the subcategories for part or all of the professions, and in this case, I suggest "Prostitutes" over "full-service sex workers", as a matter of simplicity/clarity (but the messagebox of that subcategory could include both terms, for people to know)...

(Edit: I think I'm being a little obtuse on this matter, I don't really like using that long term as the name for the category name)

Full service sex worker, does sound funny the more I type it out, I've seen it abbreviated to fssw, because it's so long.

I think sex surrogates may not be, since the therapy aspect of it is the focus of their work as well as what their clients want from them. Honestly I am not sure on that one.

Even though I still personally think prostitute/fssw is debatable, I have a feeling that if asked, people would prefer prostitute to fssw, since it's such a new/foreign term, so I agree with everything you suggested!
