I feel sick. I saw on my DH phone one of his most used sites was something called Adult world.
I googled and it looks really sordid.
I need to know...
How do you set this up?
Do you need an email and electronic pay, could you pay via cash?
I didn't click on the icon (I don't know how to use an iPhone) so I don't know what his username is or what's he's looking at or even buying.
We have shared accounts, he has a credit card that comes out of our account each month and the balance keeps going down each month, except not as much last month, so I'll check how much on our statement, I did mention it he said he hadn't used it. There's no other cards he holds ..
I don't know what to do...

It’s a sex shop with a cinema screen and strippers available.

Why don’t you talk to your DH about it?

Goingoutofmymind60 · 22/04/2023 13:01

Because then he'd know I'd looked at his phone.

It’s a wildfire camping thing like a big festival with activities for adults. Loads of people go to it. It would be a nightmare for me though I like peace and quiet when I go camping. Not vast crowds of eejits.

Activities for adults.......🤔

Goingoutofmymind60 · 22/04/2023 13:16

It's definitely not a campsite!
It's a porn site but I need to know how you'd access stuff on there.

Omg I'm in such a state I realised it's Adultwork!
Going to have to start a new post!

It’s a escorts site

PleaseGoDontGoAgain · 22/04/2023 20:06

Adultwork is like a big advertising board for escorts, cam girls, sex chat (phone or video), pay to view vids and photos etc.
The site puts the men in direct contact with the women on there.

It is NOT the same as a porn site as he will have been talking to women on there.

mrsfennel · 22/04/2023 20:08

PleaseGoDontGoAgain · 22/04/2023 20:16

He could have set up a dedicated email for this stuff, it used to be that men would buy credits on the site to message women and buy chat/vids etc with credits. I've not been near it in about 7 years.
But if he's on it often enough that you've noticed it he likely has been up to no good as the site doesn't have any innocent options, he's either paying for chat/vids or messaging escorts and they won't engage in long chats unless they can see money to be made.

If he's meeting escorts through adultwork, a fair few are set up to take card payments but most prefer cash or a bank transfer.

IF he is meeting escorts they used to be able to leave a review of punters and punters are expected to leave a review of the escort, as it helps business. So if you can get into his account the proof (if any) should be there

I'm sorry if that's more grim than you were expecting but it's the truth.

Daiaychainxo · 22/04/2023 21:25

As others have said its an escort site but seems primarily these days a cam model site ie a chat room where you can pay to go private with the cam model. Also can buy photos and videos from various models.
I used to cam on there years ago but the site take quite a bit of earnings, so just went freelance in the end.

It’s an escort site and you can pay escorts cash

hourbyhour101 · 22/04/2023 22:53

Ick - I would get yourself down sti clinic.

This is a escort site and a fairly seedy one.

hourbyhour101 · 22/04/2023 22:56

Also the site doesn't leave a digital trace.

You buy credits and it won't say on bank statements adultworks (it's something quite bland but I can't remember)

Friend divorced her husband as he had been on AW and looking at really grim stuff on the internet.

I think her ex is remarried and just had a baby. God I hope this isn't the case with you !

Bless you!

Daiaychainxo · 23/04/2023 00:01

@Ardvark111 unfortunately not used that site so sadly not me!

AW is an escort site, but most of their traffic and revenue seems to be through webcamming and calls, so not necessarily this guy is using escorts. Who knows? Cam you see his feedback/reviews? This should tell you.
The cam girls dont escort, and the escorts on there dont tend to cam. Ive never met anyone in real life, just online camming and domination.

Felixss · 23/04/2023 00:15

AW is an escort and cam site. If its escorts they take cash not bank transfer as they dont want punters knowing their real name look for cash withdrawals some sneaky guys use cashback in shops. Look for a burner phone common place to find is in the car look in the boot , glove box its used solely for contacting sex workers to book appointments. . Camming it would show payments to A W it won't say adultwork it would be larger amounts as shows cost money. £10 might be pictures to view private gallery some sw post their face pics in private gallery.

Look for feedback reviews it will show if the SW is a cammer or providing sex.

FFS, a woman comes on here for support in a time of crisis and a man has to come on looking for titillation.

What on earth made you think it was appropriate, and not creepy, to post this?

Let alone on a sensitive thread from a vulnerable OP seeking support and advice?

EmbarrassedMum22 · 23/04/2023 00:40

@Felixss escorts don’t generally take cash anymore unless it’s the really dodgy set ups like street walkers or massage parlours which are mostly “staffed” by trafficked women. Escorts set themselves up as self employed, usually mobile beauty therapist or similar and take payments through their business accounts or they can set up payment accounts through AW if they’re advertising through there.

Independents especially part time still take cash only because of tax dodging and anonymity.

EmbarrassedMum22 · 23/04/2023 09:21

@Felixss as I said, desperate girls may well do but it’s pretty rare these days and only girls on the street/truly desperate would consider it for a first time booking. Again, unless it’s someone desperate almost all girls use a bank account and pay at least some tax as cash payments have really been cracked down on over the last 5 or so years.

If OP is wanting to find out which services are offered the girls will have it listed in their profile, no need to trawl through reviews.

Re what payments show up as - Adultwork regularly changed what it shows on your bank statements (every couple months), always to a very bland name like “Business Solutions” or something so that it’s harder for partners to trace. It’s one of their selling points.

Hiding a burner phone in the boot of the car hasn’t been done by anyone with any sense since Doctor Foster came out as it’s one of the first places wives/ partners will now look. I do wish people would stop offering advice on a subject they think they know about simply because they watched a TV show once.

OP - how are you feeling today? Did you find any evidence at all?

MariaLuna · 14/12/2023 01:28

I don't know what to do...

Well, now you do that you have found this out. I'm so sorry.

We have shared accounts, he has a credit card that comes out of our account each month and the balance keeps going down each month,

Well, fuck him. Asshole. He's using your money to pay for his prostitutes.

Get down to the bank tomorrow and separate your accounts.

Then divorce him. And get an STI test.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. TAKE BACK YOU POWER AND FUCK HIM OFF.

He will never make you happy, A liar and a cheat, Thief too.

Get angry!
