I’m 50 and became a sex worker last month AMA

What’s your favourite biscuit?

As explained previously I can’t get a job in anything else due to undisclosable reasons … but I have worked globally for nearly 30 years in other sectors

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.

Christ alive…
This is your only talent? And the alternative is borrowing from relatives to support yourself, not pursuing some other career? Wow.

One thing I’ve learnt is … yes I’m attractive, petite and look young for my age which I can’t deny has added to my attraction.

BUT I know ladies who do this who honestly are overweight, look like the deputy head at your primary school, mid fifties and are still as massively busy and make a good full time income on 3 clients a day.

Its been an eye opener for sure but clients and service providers are seriously NOT the people you would envisage in your head!

Well we will have to agree to disagree.

Calling it "sex work" (which sort of sounds like working behind the counter in Ann Summers rather than having a man stick his penis in your vagina/mouth/ anus) does not make it any better.

Sex is not a commodity to sell.

Consent is not a commodity for sale.

Prostitution can never empower women, it only degrades them.

To say otherwise is part of the modern fallacy that doing what men want is good for women.

Prostitution is only good for men but we are manipulated into thinking this is all part of the new feminism and is our choice.

Improved "working conditions" such as what exactly? Coffee breaks? Holiday pay?

As regards the needs of ugly men or disabled men, men's sexual wants are not women's responsibility.

We aren't rentable holes for them to ejaculate into.

I would also say that neither looks or disability is a block to having a relationship anyway.

If it is such a positive and empowering choice would anyone be proudly celebrating their daughter starting her new "job" as a prostitute? Photo on facebook in her new uniform and wishing her luck? Congratulations from friends?

Have you ever had sex when you don't want to?

I have and I can tell you it is the most soul destroying thing in the world.

Letting somebody into your body whilst you mentally distance yourself from reality harms you and anyone who says anything different is lying to themselves.

I’d hope they would be proud I’d found a new steam of income that played to my attributes, strengths and talents in supporting myself rather than borrowing from them!

I might be old fashioned and naivebut I just can't see sex worker as a career option. For me it conjures up a seedy vision of standing on a street corner in tarty clothing and going off with someone you don't know from Adam. I dont know whether you get to choose who you have sex with but some men are genuinely repulsive and i just couldnt do it. Unless you pay tax on your earnings i dont see how it can be classified as a career. Not something i'd aspire to but each to their own.

Didn’t register with an agency … someone in the industry mentored me for 2/3 weeks, and I did some ffm jobs initially with regular verified clients to get me in to it gradually (two girl with one male client - which if you think about it is half the work for more money!) …

I did 17 appointment's like that over a 3 day long weekend.

I don’t believe it either. These men want young women.

Unless you are a professional Mother to men with adult baby fetishes, or some other specialist fetish.

Come on, don't indulge his fantasies.
