I think you didn't try hard enough to find other work. If you are reasonably intelligent, you could find work - shops, cafe, care work, childminding, - and also perhaps retrain.

Are you planning to carry on like this till you're 67 and get your pension?

The truth is it's 'easier' to do what you're doing as it doesn't demand any training, you can choose your hours, you won't be paying tax or NI, so what's not to like?

Same principle though

How can something be the same principle when it's not???

A sugar DADDY is a man old enough to be your father.

A man who pay for regular sex and is not at least 16+ years older is not your SUGAR DADDY.

He's a man paying for sex twice a week and paying you well.

Some men just aren’t fussy, even if they’re paying for it

Some men like older women , older than themselves or older than the norm of what is traditionally desirable.

As I get older, I realise men like so many different things. It really is enough to be a women, you are going to be up someone's alley.

However, op doesn't explicitly state she is offering a milf experience/has massive tits and I think thats what quite a few younger guys want in an over 40 yo.

Not sure about the older guys, the 50yo seeing her x8 per month.....?

Also, 3 men a day is a lot of men. Perhaps the price is right

I understand why some women become a prostitute, and that the money is alluring.

However, I don't get the increase in self esteem bit.

If you are totally repulsive to women, then I get going to a prostitute. Otherwise the man is just a sleaze, someone who needs keeping away from vulnerable women and children, who pays to use someones body. If they have a wife or GF they are living a lie and putting their health at risk.

I don't get how, given what I have said above, you get a self esteem hit from that? To feel attractive after your body has been used in this way must mean you have some very serous self esteem issues.

The self esteem bit is nonsense.

For me it was the idea the OP sees herself as having a sugar daddy.

Turns out he is 5 years older than her

oh and initially she says she only does 8 hours a month. Then when that’s pulled up as BS… it changes to 3 clients a day!

No, she explained for her sugar daddies she does 8 one hour sessions each a month. Not for her whole sex work.

And to be fair to OP there's no age range for a sugar daddy. It's more the behaviour than the age difference that defines it.

Ionlymakejokestodistractmyself · Yesterday 07:27

Do you have a criminal record and that's why you can't get a job in care etc?

Or do you have an unusual physical trait or disability that might increase your "allure" in sex work but you think you'd be discriminated against in the job market for?

Do you find it more difficult to get this work at age 50? Sorry, I'm genuinely not trying to sound unkind or judgemental (I'm slightly older than you) but is there a market for this at your age?

Why are you so convinced she's making it up? And I'm sorry, but if you think men only pay for sex and sexual services with women who are in their 20s then you're very naive. There are sex workers of any age.

Many many things , insistence on saying how slim he is, asking if we want stories, doing it two minutes and loads of clients, can’t do any other work at all (if you are willing to do sex work you’d not be above doing cash in hand in a bar).

You don’t have to be a size 8-10 to be attractive. Over weight doesn’t have to mean facially unattractive

Yes but remember who is posting, they are projecting what they like and they think it’s a slim woman, they’ve mentioned it a couple of times.

AnyonesAnna · 25/09/2026 23:35

Honestly due to personal circumstance I can’t go in to even if I wanted a regular job (which I do) I wouldn’t get it xx

Why not? Intrigued now....

AnyonesAnna · 25/09/2026 20:06

Despite working all my life since 18, due to personal reasons that I can’t go into, it’s been a struggle the last 2/3 years to get conventional full time consistent employment, unless I want to work nights in a factory on shifts in chilled environments which cause my muscles in my hands etc to cramp so not viable.
I’ve had 1/2 bordering negative experiences so far which weren’t bad enough to put me off.
I already have 2 non exclusive sugar daddies - which means I get a minimum monthly allowance for 8 x 1 hour appointments each per month.

I have to sell my body every day to a job I fucking hate.

what do you @Awkwardisfunny ?

You took Friday night off @AnyonesAnna ? I’d have thought that would have been a lucrative tine

Doesn't she only do afternoons? Maybe I've got that wrong.

Why does this very much feel like an ad for the platform you've specifically named?

Isn't that the basis of every get rich quick scheme?

"Hey Ladies, it doesn't matter what you look like, what age you are, I only signed up a month ago on this specific platform and I've been inundated with clients paying me £140 an hour. I'm even on retainer with 2 so steady streams of income. I'm as surprised as you are but here I am, the proof."

My question is why exactly you're making up a load of old rot online, in order to pretend to be a prostitute?

What are you getting out of it?

Do you just enjoy fantasising that 'attractive' young men of the misogynistic ilk who are willing to buy 'consent', might actually pay to have sex with a pudgy, menopausal woman with loose skin, instead of a fit, stunning, twenty-something-year-old?

Hilarious.

(To note: I think there's nothing wrong with having an imperfect body, or being an older woman, but it's not what grotty, misogynistic men want.)

Most women turn to prostitution to make ends meet, some have no choice if they have kids and no many. Its a choice and as long as you are safe (and dont sleep with my Husband!), its truly up to you.
I hope you make your money quickly and dont have to do it for long.
Its not something I would do, as I have to feel something for the person I would have sex with.
Stay safe.

It's almost impossible to "stay safe", unfortunately. These are strange men who buy women. They buy the use of the body. It's just lucky if you avoid the really nasty, perverted violent ones.
It's not a safe game.

I'm bemused as to why mumsnetters find this so difficult to believe. You would know from your own experience that any woman can make an online dating profile and receiving dozens of likes and messages within a few days, so why would it be difficult to believe that OP would receive a lot of messages after advertising on a website?

That’s like the difference between advertising something for free on Facebook vs starting up an online shop.

Money! Not Many.

Yeah I thought it seemed off…it was not a petite final figure, and a gastric sleeve and weight loss from 20 stone to petite would leave a huge apron of skin.
