Single, childless and jobless I turned to sex work last month as my new career. AMA

If you did read the thread, you'd know we all worked that out yesterday...

I read a lot of the thread but not nearly enough clearly!

The government should make arrangements to improve the safety of the environment of women who choose to do this. Maybe then I would be expecting them to pay taxes.
People shouldn't be so prude about it. Glass houses.

I'm very sorry about that, but it doesn't change what I said. There are older who do all kinds of sex work (camming, content creating, prostitution) and get clients. I know this personally to be true and many other posters on here have said the same thing. Some of what OP says may not seem believable, bit it absolutely is believable that a 50 year old woman can make money this way.

I didn't say a 50-year-old wouldn't be able to make money as a prostitute.

I said that what OP was saying was highly unbelievable, given her age and appearance. She's not been working for a month, at the age of 50 and not stunning, and pulling in multiple men in their late twenties/early thirties who are attractive and lovely. That's laughable. A stunning young woman in her late teens would be 'lucky' (hah!) to be flooded by young, attractive, lovely professional clients, who (according to OP) often don't even want full sex 🙄

This is a fantasist's unrealistic nonsense, and frankly, it's a little offensive.

Having been a FSSW in my 20's, I'm not buying this thread I'm afraid. 3 clients a day in your first month is the kind of rate only someone with pre-existing fame can achieve, especially if you won't do anything besides protected vanilla PIV. I would believe that rate only if OP was not vetting, doing everything, and not using protection.

A lot of my friends are still SWs (attractive and late 20's) and see about 2-3 clients per week. The less popular ones (plus size and alternative) maybe 1 a fortnight. They are constantly pressured to do unprotected and ghosted by fantasists with no £.

It's a nice idea that you could rake in 4 figures in a week, but it's not the reality for the overwhelming majority.

Agree with this, OP your post does not seem genuine at all. No way you have that many clients in your 50s or you are not being honest about how much you are being paid.

There was a talk show about this on YouTube that explained only the very young attractive insta / tiktok models with a huge platform can make a career out of sex work with high figures or if you accommodate extreme fetishes.

Are you serious?

Why wouldn’t I be?

Any lawfully earned (as is this case) income is taxable.

Are you implying the OP should commit tax fraud by not reporting her income?

In the case of poverty at least, the same is true of most of us. We'd be unable to pay the bills without our jobs, so the real reason we go into our chosen vocations is to avoid penury, it's just a bonus if it also happens to be something you actively want to do. Prostitution is no different in that respect.

So why aren’t you doing it then?

Crudd99 · Yesterday 11:51

Sorry if it's been asked before, how do you feel about your physical safety? That what you are doing puts you at greater risk of being attacked or murdered? That if something happens to you you'll be treated differently by the police and public? Have you thought about your long term reputation if people find out. You'll be labelled for the rest of your life. That men won't want a long term relationship with you they just see you as a easy lay, you'll lose people's respect and be treated badly. I'm seriously concerned for you. Men treat sex workers differently from non sex workers.

UnintentionalArcher · Yesterday 11:42

Hi OP. Yours sounds like a difficult situation. I was wondering what you can do to safeguard yourself, both physically and emotionally, as far as possible while you’re doing this work. Take care.

Please tell us how you advertise to have ramped up such a huge customer base in 4 weeks??

Maybe it's because she's ' fresh meat' and there's some 'men' who like to try out the new ones for the novelty ?

😆 I know right. Complimenting all these 50-something year old women, telling them they look 20 years younger. 😂

Older women successful in sex work by.....selling worn underwear 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Real profession. Real tax payments.

Come on.

We know the answer- no tax return.

Real profession. Real tax payments.

50 is not old.
However the ageism here was started by the OP!
She seems to think she is old.

I think age is the least important issue here. It's irrelevant.

The issue is she sees it as the only means to make money.
That's the issue.

I still don't see the attraction for men as there are ways to get sex by hook up sites.

So I assume they are lazy and don't even want to go for a date, a drink , some chat then sex.

Or they are deeply unattractive and can't find a woman otherwise.

Or they want repeat sex with a prostitute rather than different ONS

@AnyonesAnna How does a typical 'date' go?
Do they come to your home? If not, where?
Do you make small talk?
Do you offer coffee or a drink?
Do you kiss?
Do you have foreplay?
Do they undress you?
Do you insist they shower first?
Do they shower afterwards?
How many men as far as you know are in a relationship?.
Do they pay cash or do you give out bank details or have you a card payment set up?

WhatATimeToBeAlive · Yesterday 11:24

Good for you, OP. It's not my choice but it obviously works for you.

And those wondering how on earth a man would want to pay to have sex with a (horrors!) 50 year old woman, you can just fuck off with your ageism. 50 year olds have a hell of a lot of experience in the bed and out of it.

Naive? I wish. I was trafficked at 16 so I'm very aware of the sex industry, thanks, and what she's said doesn't sound particularly believable to me.

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

Yes, the older I get the more I realise that some men are happy to just find a woman with a pulse who will have sex with them. Sometimes the pulse is optional.

Sceptical of this thread though TBH
