I did it for around 5 years

Do you think shutting down the 'review' sites such as UK Punting would reduce the use (or abuse to be more accurate) by men of women in this way?

Kerrylass · 25/04/2024 13:20

Thanks you for posting your experiences. Im glad that life is better for you now.

I hope you don't mind me asking...
Did any man bring you to orgasm

Nottogetapenny · 25/04/2024 13:34

Well done, you should be so proud of yourself! It must of been so difficult to turn your life around. But you did it. 🌸

Noseybookworm · 25/04/2024 13:38

I'm glad you're out of that life and doing better now. Well done OP none of this could have been easy 😞 take care of yourself lovely 💐

Congratulations on on breaking free, OP.

Did you hate/resent the men, pity them, or something else?

I did find them to be pathetic but I didn’t think about it too much at the time. I absolutely resent them now though and generally don’t trust men at all

Do you know anybody who was working as a prostitute who managed to hold on to the money and "retired" with a nest egg? Glad you managed to get out.

Thank you. No, I don’t. Every single woman I have known or known of has been doing it to survive

AlysofPowys · 25/04/2024 06:08

Did you find there was any kind of support for getting out, or did you have to do it all yourself? I’m so glad you’ve escaped, OP. It’s an enormous thing to pull yourself out of that, reinvent yourself and create a stable life.

Thank you so much. I did it by self. To be fair, I have no doubt that there would’ve been support should I have seemed it out though

AllstarFacilier · 25/04/2024 07:09

How do you feel about people saying it should be legalised or that it’s empowering for women? Did you know other women doing the same work and were they all vulnerable too?

I think the majority won’t have a lived in experience but maybe I’m wrong. I’d say every single women I knew was also vulnerable in some way and also doing it just to survive

Sometimes I despair with mumsnet then I read a kind supportive generous thread like this and remember why I’m on it.

BeardyButton · 25/04/2024 14:01

OP thank you so much for your posts. This sort of thread is the best of mn. Women sharing with women! Being vulnerable so we can all learn how these power structures work. Have you thought about writing a book?! You are articulate, honest and insightful. I think you would write a fantastic book on this issue. I would read it!

And thank you again. Reading this has inspired me in some ways. I’m really proud of being a woman sometimes. Proud of the strength we can show even when the world seeks to put its boot on our throat. You are an exceptional example of this kind of strength.

You said it better than me! Women are capable of so much power and compassion. I think the OP is incredible.

savethatkitty · 25/04/2024 14:03

Do you have to be super fit/attractive to be in the game or do 'normal women' do it too?

ApiratesaysYarrr · 25/04/2024 07:31

What was it about your boyfriend that overcame your feelings about men in general?

He’s genuine and supportive and he always thinks of me/my needs. He makes me feel good about myself and treats me with kindness and respect. He wouldn’t harm me or encourage anything that was to my detriment. He’s a really good man. Very lucky to have found him!

So sorry about this abusive man getting you into this.
How incredibly strong you are for getting out.

How did you get out of this situation?
Did you have to runaway?

Thank you so much. Yes, I ran away. Basically completely reinvented myself in a new area

Thanks for this AMA and, I'd like to echo what many others have said, I'm so glad that you're safe and well now.

I do have a question, if you'd care to answer it: often, when I've read interviews with prostituted women, they've said that half the time their clients only want company and they don't do anything sexual, just listen to them. I've always been a bit suspicious of this and wondered if, in your experience, there was any truth to it.

Hi
I just wanted to know if your parents ever knew what you were doing or if you still visited them during this period?

Glad you got out of it now x

Unfortunately my parents had passed away but had they been alive I would’ve done everything possible to keep it from them. Thank you so much x

Incredible AMA, OP. I'm in awe of you. Thanks for starting it and for being so honest.

I recently read a book about women doing sex work at the same time as having a normal job. Did you come across many women doing this? If so, what kinds of jobs did they have?

Thank you.

Did you actually read any of the OPs posts? The love of your life was a scumbag. If he wasn’t exploiting prostitutes he’d be cheating on you with someone else.

Your dreadful, shitty amoral ex ruined your life. I hope you have better boundaries and taste in men now.

OP what you’ve done and how you’ve turned your life around IS amazing and you should be so proud.

My question is have you been able to access any talking therapies or something similar. You speak from a place of great self knowledge. I wish you all the best life has to offer Flowers

Thank you so much. I have never had any kind of therapy but I am considering it at the minute

VenetiaHallisWellPosh · 25/04/2024 08:55

Men are the reason prostitution exists. Blame the men. Men will always buy sex. Male & female prostitutes are coerced and exploited for men's pleasure.

OP, so glad you posted. I'm glad you got out ❤️

Thank you so much

I have heard both males and females refer to tinder as a place to order a sex partner for the night like a free service.
They treat it like ordering a call girl / boy and I have seen friends hurt by this.
Do you think people who sleep with a date where they go to see a person at their home without even getting a meal or drink somewhere first realise this?

No, I don’t think they’d see it that way but I think I agree with you, it’s scarily similar. Not that there’s any judgment from me providing all parties are consenting and happy

I’m sorry this happened to you OP. I’m in awe of what a strong person you must be to get through it all, to get out, and to give up drugs. I’m glad your life is better now, you deserve it.

My only questions are - what motivated you to do an AMA on here, and do you think it’s helping you?

Thank you so much. It isn’t something I have ever really spoke about and I’m someone that benefits from talking things through so I thought it might be a nice, engaging way to get it off my chest a little bit. It’s been a really positive experience, I’m glad I did it
