But if they're in financial dire straits?
I saw your thread and figured it was that you used a link, it feels like there's been a few threads or comments to women who are skint to sell dirty knickers or use only fans for income and they remain, I don't judge anyone going into sex work but what I do worry about is vulnerable women falling into it because they're financially desperate and ending up harmed.
I had a friend who dabbled in some forms of sex work when she was much younger, including selling dirty knickers and sex chat phone work, she was desperate financially which made her very vulnerable and she would never ever recommend anyone else do it.
She thought it would be as straightforward as a bloke searching on website, choosing the knickers and her sending them off but it's not, there's an expectation to interact and chat to the men, many wanted photos of her wearing the knickers and when she realised that compromised her anonymity she felt powerless because she was desperate and many men know that any women in sex work are desperate for money and exploit that.
£20 for a pair of dirty knickers sounds like easy money but the hours spent on "customer interaction" and building up a client base was not easy money at all and it was the opposite of empowering for her, and made her mental health even worse than when she started.
That's why I think a lot of MNers (myself included) don't like it being casually suggested as income on this site to women who are desperate and are asking for ways to make money quick and because I think decisions like going into sex work needs a clear head and not something to rush into, someone desperate and vulnerable may not have the clear head needed to make big decisions like that.
