A lot of us have that though, myself included. I’m sure you can find another way, you wouldn’t have posted on Mumsnet if you didn’t want one, and I’m sure we all get that you can go through rough times and want to get out of them, and can try to help.

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

Gosh, it sounds like fairytale doesn’t it? Handsome young men, gifts, sugar elder siblings. And they all come round your house? I’m sure before long you’ll have them putting the bins out and mowing the lawn.

Afternoons only, just want to chat.

So do you not qualify for any help like PIP if you have a reason to not be able to work the regular jobs ? Have you asked a GP ?

She said upthread she's not a British citizen, but not on a visa, so maybe there's an issue there.

I gave you a toothbrush and toothpaste last time you came. I showed you how to brush and advised you on diet. Quite how all your enamel has eroded is quite baffling.

Do they come to your house

Do you worry about your safety

Do your family know/if they don't have you ever considered if something was to happen to you?

Anything weird happen so far?

Anyone you wouldn't see again and why?

Silly question perhaps but do you have to spend a lot on lingerie? Thinking of the regulars with this question.

No if they have specific requirements I suggest they buy it and bring it or buy me gifts … one suggested I set up an Amazon wish list and i told him he was getting carried away lol … within this short period of time I have 3-4 clients already doing this x

I see 3 a day on average …

Well I think you're doing better than all these women in miserable marriages with husband's who treat them like shit and dont even really want to have sex with them anymore. At least you're having sex, having fun and getting paid!!

Thank you x obvs there are risks but on balance for me at this time …

Already happened. It went on for months until complaints reached critical mass (and the national media). DWP put better filters in, but apparently some still sneak through. At least the advisors have now been told not to sanction young women for turning down those 'jobs'.

Show quote history

I do not doubt there have probably been instances of people advertising for "hospitality" or "entertainment" staff, and the reality has been they're actually recruiting strippers or escorts, but they are not going to openly advertise and recruit for prostitution via DWP because that would be tantamount to pimping. So yes, where and when DWP staff are aware that is what is going on, those "vacancies" should be disregarded, and staff made aware not to sanction, otherwise they'd be tacitly endorsing and enabling illegal activity.

Sure, the old prostitution is great larks and all men want is someone to talk to. You'll never find a man so respectful as a man who's paid £100 for a woman's fanny. Most prostitutes are putting themselves through law school to get a better life for their kiddies. These are all well known facts.

Most of my ex's 'suppliers' seemed to be completing their design or architecture postgrads 😂

firsttimepregnanthelp · 25/09/2026 23:20

Have you ever felt unsafe? What would you do if you did? What do you do if a client is extremely unattractive or unhygienic?

Yes. I hear that porn has had a terrible impact as well. The rise in strangulation etc. some sick stuff, and women are at risk.
Sex workers have always been high risk of course.

Why cant you get any other job?

You share what you do now, so how cant sharing why you cant get a job be worse?

Do you not worry you will regret this if you ever were to want to get in a relationship in the future?

My ex split up with his ex of 12 years with 2 kids together after he found out she was a sex worker before they met. He tried for 6 months to get over it before the split but just couldn't
