Sex, writing, being a good listener for people's emotional problems.

Is't that just being a basic educated human being ?

I don't mean I'm better at them than everyone else, it's just that two of them are things people do sometimes nag me to do professionally, as per OP's question.

I find saying "so what, I'm good at sex too, doesn't mean I have to be a sex worker" gets my point across and stops the nagging, because that's something many people only enjoy as a hobby.
