BF not happy with 'sex work'

No judgement please, just advice. Basically finally told BF (we've been together 3 months nearly) how I make money. I went back to uni last year and to support myself Ive been selling worn items online, got 4 regular buyers now and its been a steady income with not much effort, which is ideal with studying, literally just wear the items for a day or two, dont even pay for postage as i include that in the total. Don't meet any of them, no camming, no naked photos or ever show my face, however he's not happy and is saying he'll support me while I'm studying, but I don't want him doing that, or having to ask him for money, especially so early into the relationship. I like being independent. And i feel like he's judging me, which doesn't feel great, especially since doing this work it's actually made me feel a lot more self confident (I'm at least a stone or two over weight) and now since our argument i just feel bad about myself again.

Its not that i dont get why he's annoyed, but studying is important for me and I'm earning money whilst not having to go out and work, and i dont want to be indebted to him, and feel generally like he's trying to tell me what to do, so really conflicted. He's mentioned moving in together and ive told him its too soon for that. I wish now I'd not said anything but thought it best to be honest. He's never asked before, just knew i was studying full time.

Bless you, there are some people that have offered stockings and fishnets for sale, used of course. At least they were the items that I knew of that was circulating via the uni dorms

Even if the OP is genuine, many many will not be. And if I’m wrong, MN should not be encouraging sex work. Supporting sex workers, yes. Allowing advice on where to see your soiled clothes? Nah.

How is that sex work? Ya need to chill min it 2023 nae 1823

Ahh, I wouldn't say I'm clingy or insecure, but I can't say I like the idea of other women getting their rocks off every night to DH, with his implied permission!

(Or maybe I'd love the idea if it goes towards our mortgage LOL)

All power to you that you've found a way to pay off and work towards your dreams though. Modern capitalism is pretty hopeless and dead-end (and often unfair towards women), and I'm never against gaming the system. I think probably you and your bf have fundamentally different beliefs that might signal incompatibility though?

It would be like those cottage factory system,

singer15 · 24/02/2023 22:26

I imagine most men wouldn't like this. Most women wouldn't like it, either, but since it's rare for me to sell 'worn clothing', it's a moot point.

You can do what you want, obviously, but he's not being unreasonable to wish you wouldn't and ask you to stop.

3luckystars · 24/02/2023 21:16

Sounds like easy money, I want in!!

I might encourage you to leave the industry, but only to make room for me and the others on this thread.

🤣🤣🤣

singer15 · 24/02/2023 22:27

LOL... rare for MEN to sell worn clothing... Though it's also exceedingly rare for me to do it.

Ya need to read - the OP calls it ‘sex work’ in the title.

AIBUNo · 24/02/2023 22:00

How much do they go for a pair OP?

Presumably a lot more than the new ones you need to buy to replace them.

Do they buy any old knickers, like white cotton full briefs, or do they prefer little lacy numbers?

Asking for a friend.

I was wondering this too. I don't suppose M&S full briefs are in demand are they?

It's a mix depending on the clients. Some would like them, others it's g strings, thongs, etc

Goodread1 · 24/02/2023 22:32

I can amagine some Gay single men wouldn't have a problem with this kind of fetishism with used mens boxers ,

Don’t mean to sound harsh but basically he sees as your prostituting your self for other men’s pleasure.
You imagine you’re selling your worn sodden underwear to other guys that sniff it some possibly taste it.
Can you not see how this is?
No naked photos etc but how far do you take it later down the line?
You get more confident you think I can sell more parts of my body you start doing only fans (basically prostitution) just my opinion

I had a job on a stableyard in my youth.
I got confident, & it soon escalated to saturday work in a toyshop.
Before I knew how it happened, I was working evenings in a Wimpy bar.
Soon, I was on 50 hour weeks, & now I just can't get off the treadmill.

👀You don't sound harsh, you sound ridiculous.

Weallhaveavoice · 24/02/2023 22:38

Thanks @Jenasaurus
Checked out that website……….feeling very liberated

Websites to sell on are ( grab a pen or screen shot before this thread gets taken down )
snifffr.com
panty deal
naughty connection
warn desires
sexy delights
sofia grey

Jenasaurus · 24/02/2023 22:43

something to bare in mind

You must only sell used underwear to adults and could be subject to prosecution if you are found to be selling items to an underage person.

You need to be careful about this and also know that the onus is on you and not the Panty Selling Platforms to confirm that buyers are adults.
If you sell to someone underage even through an online platform, you will be liable.

Sorry been out tonight! Thank you for all the supportive messages 😊
He's 10 years older than me, likes to flash the cash, I think possibly his mindset is a man should support his other half, but something is really off to me, like its got too serious too soon. And i dont want to be in a situation where I'm asking him for money.

Personally i dont see it as sex work, I'm not meeting anyone, not camming or even OF, it's literally making money doing nothing, the only faff is parcelling up and going to post office, which isn't really an inconvenience. And yes I tend to buy cheap items in multipacks so tights and socks, pants, so making quite a bit of profit on them!

I probably shouldn't have told him, but i did so have to deal with it now 😣

@Jenasaurus buyers and sellers are all age verified thank goodness

To be honest he didn't seem repulsed, more just oh well you won't have to do THAT anymore and how it makes sense to move in because the rents are so steep here (which they admittedly are) but just this assumption that i had no say in any of it. When i said im happy doing it and wasn't sure about living together so early on, thats when it got a bit heated.

Sorry a lot of questions, ok, there are guys who sell on their but its clearly to other guys (I think), 90 per cent women sellers. Pants wise ive found thongs are more popular with buyers, sell a fair few socks too, tights. Shoes or slippers ive sold a few. I dont tend to list bras as they're a pain to replace (i struggle to find one that fit as I'm quite big) so only if they're knackered do i get rid of them. Ive sold a few sports bras though, gym wear seems to be popular.

Anyway, I've got another two and a bit years, then hopefully a masters, so its been a godsend to me. Just had a wobble yesterday after row with bf, and just needed to vent a bit. Just second guessing myself, which he's good at making me do!

Well I can understand a partner being a bit shocked by that job to be honest. But it’s your life and he needs to accept it. Does sound like things have moved fast. I’ve been with my bf for 3 months and moving in together is not even anywhere near on the radar. We have kids anyway and none of us have met each other’s kids yet so I think it would be a long time before we lived together. Even without kids 3 months is too soon. I’ve been there and done that and got the scares from moving too fast
