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

Yoy've got remarkably good articulation for someone whose only option is to work in a factory wirh cramping hands.

Oh op. It's no way to live being used by pathetic men.

You say you don't have any mental health problems currently but this kind of 'work' will inevitably take its toll.

You say you can't get any work in the care sector due to undislosable reasons which can only be dbs/conviction related as they're desperate for staff and the bar is sadly very low.

Maybe retail or the hospitality sector?

I'd work on your self esteem and confidence if I were you. I'm sure you're worth more than this.

I thought it was a male led media thing that perpetuated the trope about women over 50 being past it.
Thus thread has opened my eyes however.

😂😂

All nice clean men and you sometimes enjoy it?
No downsides at all, would you say?

I really don't think it would be outing to say why you can't get a more normal job, OP!

Yeah, well off, good looking, I doubt it.

Do you regularly get checked for STIs? Are you worried about herpes?

I'd be worried I'd get addicted to the money and would feel obliged to do things further and further away from what I was comfortable with.

Also that it would ruin my perception of men and relationships and even make it difficult to enjoy recreational/relationship based sex.

How do you feel about that?

Good luck to you. It is not something I could ever do, I'd sooner scrub doorsteps for hours on end than have sex with random knobs. I fear your mental health will eventually suffer.

Is this for real? At 50 aren't you way too old for sugar daddies? I thought a sugar baby had to be a young girl in her 20s? I have to say it doesn't sound like a safe or sensible decision of this post is true

Nor have I - Sugar Dadddies usually want females many decades younger. Which would make them about 90 😳

Tell us - why can' t you get a day job? You say your only option was night shifts in a factory in a chilled environment.

That really is quite bizarre.

What work do you do for decades and why did you need to stop?

My local town has adverts in the windows for sales assts, in shops, cafes, restaurants etc.

It makes me think your work is a lifestyle choice, not a necessity. You only want to work part time, from home, on your own terms, not pay tax, not pay NI, but maybe claim benefits?

If you are fit enough to have sex 3 times a day with unknown men, surely you are fit enough to do other work or even train to do something else?

Is there much marketfor the more mature lady? How do you drum up business?

Going to the gym or cooking dinner, which offer the rewards of fitness and food respectively, are "work" then?

Can you explain why you can't do other work?
You keep avoiding the question which means posters are not sure what's stopping you.

How do you find customers?

How did you get into to this occupation? Did someone you know already do it or did you think "that sounds like a good way to earn money" and start researching how to get started?

Do you issue receipts and how will it work for paying taxes?

TBH I think some men will take anyone with a female body- as long as they can have sex.

Criminal record perhaps?

I don’t see why you can’t get a job with decades of work experience unless you have a criminal record. Yes it’s harder out there but most people manage to find something eventually. Employers often prefer middle aged candidates to younger ones these days.

It certainly seems to be something like that to suddenly find yourself unable to find a job at 47 when she stopped work.

Why do you have so many clients per day. You don't need to work that much.

3x£140 x 5days x 4weeks = £8400!! a month

I’ve name changed for this.

I never did full service sex work but I danced my way through university and remain friends with many who still offer full service. I haven’t danced for almost ten years and most girls who have moved past their prime have moved on from dancing to full service. I think going back to a “normal” job is hard for many people the money comes in so fast and with little time. So thats something to keep in mind.

£140 is very cheap for an hour and I would be concerned that would mean you would attract a certain type of client. I’m in Manchester and the going rate is £200/£250 an hour from what I’ve heard. Most people I know charge £200 on AW or the agency they work for charges £250 but takes a cut.

I would also familiarise yourself with local sex work charities in the area if you haven’t. The one local to me is called M.A.S.H and they support sex workers to get tested without any judgement, also help sex workers report any violence or just have people you can talk to about your work.

Also familiarise yourself with National Ugly Mugs website if you haven’t already. You can sign up and check clients details on there to see if they’ve been reported by other SW’s for anything nefarious.

No judgement from me just hoping you stay safe. X
