OP you mentioned that you managed not to spend much of the money. Does that mean you now have a good nest egg at least?

If not can you tell us what happened to the money? Some went on weed I’m sure but it’s not a super expensive drug.

Hi OP. I’m a police officer and I’ve worked with victims of CSE. Was there ever a point in the process where you may have been persuaded against prostitution? Is there anything that I or anyone else could have said or done to divert you away in the early days?

If the OP reported the boyfriend, would the police take this seriously? Would the OP also get into trouble? Is this something you have considered OP?
Surely the boyfriend has moved on and is likely pimping out someone else.

OP well done on getting out and rebuilding your life. I hope you have managed to completely break contact with your ex.

My question is do you think you'd be able to prevent a young woman becoming a prostitute if you realised they were being coerced in that direction and how would you have reacted if someone had tried the same with you when you were 23?

Sorry if that's too hard and thank you for standing this thread you've been very open about a difficult part of your life - I'm sorry you were put through that Flowers

Thank you so much. To be honest, professionals did try to dissuade me and could see it for what it was but for whatever reason, I wasn’t receptive to this. If I was aware of something similar happening to another woman, I would definitely share my experiences. I feel like hearing from others with similar experiences that had got out the other side may have benefited me

More kudos from me, and thank you.

Not sure if I’ve seen this asked - did your “boyfriend” (pimp) at the time get any sexual pleasure from knowing you were having sex with other men for money? Did he get off on it?

And I assume he still expected sex from you?

Thank you. Yes, he still expected sex, didn’t turn him off in the slightest which I found a little strange at the time. I do suspect he got off on it though he never said as such

If you're still around @Pleasetellmeitgetsbetter how do you physically have sex comfortably if you are not genuinely aroused?

Is it a case of lube and more lube?

Also, did you have to fake orgasm- do men expect that?

Yes, lube and just pushing through it to be honest. I found it more mentally challenging than physically. I never had an orgasm but I did fake it when I suspected that’s what they were trying to do … which was rare

I don't have a question OP but I've read all of your posts and I'm in awe at how brave you are. Well done for getting out and I wish you the best for the future.

Thank you so much

You are one strong lady, and you should be proud of how you managed to turn your life around 💐. Are you scared that your partner will find out about it from an ex client or something?

WafflesOrIceCream · 25/04/2024 09:56

Well done OP on setting yourself free away from that monster!!!

Did any of the regular men develop feelings for you?

Thank you so much. I think the odd one possibly liked me but they didn’t really like on or anything. Thankfully. I would’ve found that really uncomfortable

How has it affected your attitude to sex now?

I wasn’t interested in sex at all for a while but I feel like I’m over the worst of that now

Do you feel social media’s lax attitude towards the sex industry has fuelled a different type of attitude towards women and sex? I have read online accounts from prostitutes who have been in the job a long time and say things have shifted since the rise and apparent acceptance of online sex work and sites such as Onlyfans.

The reason I ask is because I have a dd16 and she and her peers all seem to think the sex industry, not so much prostitution but the likes of Onlyfans etc is cool and an easy way to make lots of money. I am obviously going out of my way to educate my daughter that this is far from the way forward in life . Luckily she and I have a close relationship and she takes onboard what we discuss but I worry about the more vulnerable young females in our society. The boys in dd year are obsessed with sex and appear to have have very derogatory attitudes towards girls and sex. I am sure sm and online porn etc has fuelled this. One of dd and her friend’s favourite brands is called Named Collective, the hoodies have images of lap dancers all over them. I fear sex work is glamourised these days and the cold hard truth is completely different but once sucked in it’s so difficult to leave.

I wish you nothing but happiness in your future, I hope you do well in life.

Edited

Thank you so much. I was out before Only Fans etc became big. I do think social media glamourising sex work must be having a detrimental impact on young women though. I know when I initially started selling pics, I wouldn’t have dreamed mentioning it to anyone but my closest friends. I don’t feel I’d need to be as weary due to fear of judgment if it was something I was doing now. It’s scary really

Do you favour decriminalisation simply because it would do away with the women facing a criminal record, fines etc or do you think it might in some way reduce pimping, coercion and exploitation?

ETA: Can I add to the paying respect to you for escaping and also for being so brave to do this AMA. Even though it's anonymous I can only imagine how hard it might be to talk about. I hope doing so supports your emotional recovery.

Edited

Thank you so much. Honestly I don’t think it would reduce coercion etc. I agree with decriminalisation of prostitutes to avoid it being pushed underground and also because it’s hard enough to leave without having a criminal record etc

BobbyBiscuits · 25/04/2024 14:59

I've known girls who've done sex work to varying degrees, none of them had much good to say about it.
What if any were the positives of doing it?

If not can you tell us what happened to the money? Some went on weed I’m sure but it’s not a super expensive drug.

I think you may have misinterpreted that post. I believe the OP meant that she was not able to spend the money because her "boyfriend" took it, not that she was able to save it.

OP, well done on having the strength to rebuild.

LoompaOompa · 25/04/2024 15:13

I can't help wonder what your ex-partner is doing now. I hope he's in jail but sadly he's probably still out there, abusing women in one way or another.

Did he ever face any consequences for his actions? Would he be identifiable under Claire's Law?

mathanxiety · 25/04/2024 15:41

So glad you got out. You're very courageous, and I hope you have someone to confide in, maybe a therapist?

Do you know if your abuser has snared anyone else into prostitution?

Do you have any idea what was behind his behaviour?

Very harsh, and very ignorant of reality.

Do you honestly think she could have sat these men down and asked them to be honest with her about their relationships and family before proceeding?

Prostitution involves a gross power imbalance. Prostitutes are not 'complicit' in the decisions their clients make.

Put the blame for the decision that ruined your life where it rightly belongs - your fiance cared only about getting sex and had no respect whatsoever for you, for the relationship, for himself, or for the woman or women he used.

LoobyDop · 25/04/2024 16:26

Thank you for posting this, @Pleasetellmeitgetsbetter , it’s really interesting. And I’m very glad you’re now safe and happy.
Why do you think the men were doing it? Was it because they just couldn’t be bothered to make the effort to make a woman want to have sex with them? Or do you think a large portion of them also got a kick out of the power dynamic, of thinking they had bought you?

chipsewfast · 25/04/2024 16:36

When you say you found the men pathetic, do you mean socially or sexually or something else? I'm glad you have changed your life now.

Lifesingflowers · 25/04/2024 16:40

Just want to saw how brave you are from walking away and rebuilding your life. I hope only good thing and happiness come your way

niadainud · 25/04/2024 16:53

Were the men (I'm assuming it was just men) who used your services awful people, or just depressingly ordinary? Or was it a wide range of characters and backgrounds?

And yes, good on you for getting away from that life. That must have taken some steely resolve.

First Rule of Misogyny: "Women are responsible for what men do.“

Don't blame the prostitute for your ex cheating. It's misogyny to do so.

But do you people ever stop to realise the hurt and pain you are complicit in in doing this?

I would imagine that the prostitute has bigger problems, like her own safety, making sure her client wears condoma, appeasing her pimp so he doesn't batter her again, etc to worry about.

"You people" is only ever used contemptuously as an othering tactic. (Hey, Aston data thieves, did I analyse the sentiment of those tokens correctly?)

Edited

"You people" never starts a rational conversation.
