or is it just me?
Either would make me feel better, because like if it was just me there might be stuff I could do about it, and if it’s everyone it’s not my fault.
me as fuck. i barely have money to afford groceries this week
Not in the US but all of last year I could only find 2 places to work where I could feel reasonably secure in making at least $100 in a 6-9 hour shift. Both of them were intolerable to work at long term but working indie has been dead quiet. Ended up having to go back to school so I could get a student loan to cover living costs. I know it’s whorephobic & classist but I feel really ashamed to be a whore & not even be able to afford not to live with my parents?? Mid/end of 2015, I was planning on spending 3 months on holiday in Croatia just because I don’t like NZ summers ffs.
Shit, what the fuck is going on with the global economy that this is happening? And like it’s not just one kind of sex worker… there are full service people on this post, webcam people, PSO/Prodommes like me… WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
I just chocked it up to the hurricane of both taxes and Easter weekend at the same exact time.
I’ve been having a shit year so far though…like I haven’t capped 3K on my best month this year so far, I’m looking at having to sell my house and move back in with my folks it’s been so bad.
Ohh, I thought you just meant like the past couple of weeks.
But yes, my earnings this year are pathetic compared to last year. You definitely aren’t alone in that.
Thank god! I thought I was just like… lazy or a fuck up or something.
It’s a global trend across all sectors of the industry. I’m only doing well because I have enough regulars to take care of me. I hope you don’t have to sell your house, that’s fucked.
If I can see one positive though, it will be that the tough times will cause all the dilettante workers who don’t really need the money to leave, and only the serious players will be left.I work in a brothel in Australia and it’s been seriously depressing
Ikr? Most parlours over here were established during the 80s & 90s when business was booming and it wasn’t as easy for girls to do private work, so there are too many to accomodate the decreased clientele. The amount of parlours that have recently closed in my town demonstrates how the landscape has changed. The online component has made it a lot easier for private girls to advertise and for clients to access them and I think that’s knocked a huge chunk out of brothel profits along with the generally shitty economy.
I know quite a few private girls who are still making very good money, but it definitely ain’t what it used to be.Is it Tinder? I’ve heard Tinder is part of the problem
Tinder, fucked economy, the industry being a lot less taboo & underground than it used to be so there’s a higher volume of workers. Also changing attitudes towards sexuality, girls are generally putting out more and giving it up for these fools. All this sex positivity is terrible for business! I say it’s time for a return to traditional Christian family values and for an end to sex before marriage so that men have to start seeing sex workers again! 😂😂😂
You laugh but this is so accurate! Girls are putting it out so much easier now. I blame Amber Rose with that slutwalk shit girls are not afraid of being called hoe it has to end! Lol
My fellow sex workers, I HAVE AN IDEA! What if we convinced bougie girls that the hip/edgy/woke/feminist thing to do is instead of trying to be us they need to come and see us, cause like they could totally brag to their girlfriends about “oh I hired this *insert type of sex worker here*” and then getting to feel worldly and sophisticated
All we’d need is like a Refinery29 article about how that’s what cool girls are doing now and like an “I’m a straight girl but I hire *insert types of sex workers here*” on a couple of other women’s news sites (ones with hip target markets) and badabing badaboom
