What Is Sex Work & Dating a Sex Worker?
What is a sex worker? When people think about what a sex worker is, they immediately think about an escort; but that’s only one type. "Sex worker" is just an umbrella term for anyone who performs and makes a living in the sex industry. A stripper is also considered a sex worker along with a bikini dancer, cam girl, nude or erotic model, phone sex operator, professional dominatrix (which is a branch of being an escort), film star, findomme, etc. Sometimes a sex worker performs in the industry out of necessity and survival. Sometimes a sex worker does it because they enjoy their work and want to make a career out of it. While you see it mostly being a female-orientated job, both men and women be sex workers.

My Life as a Phonesex Operator
For eight years, I enjoyed being a phonesex worker and made pretty good money. When I first started out, I was not privy to all the fetishes that there were in the world. I say world because I had quite a few international callers and they were pretty freaky themselves.

Modern Sex Work Is More Popular Than You'd Think
Evidence of sex work can be traced throughout history from as early as the beginning of the third millennium. In a time where men dominated the world (more so than today), women's bodies belonged to those men who took ownership of them in return for money, housing or even security though marriage; many women believed they didn't have other options but to sell themselves. Today, there's an estimated 40-42 million people world wide who work as prostitutes. 1-2 million of these people are present in the United States alone; 82,000 are in the United Kingdom and 8.42 million are male sex workers. Whilst a large portion of these numbers still include people who are forced into sex work, there's now an increasing amount of people who willingly seek out the profession. Modern sex workers such as escorts, picture sellers and sugar babies are scorned and frowned upon by society for willingly taking part in such activities that 'diminish a woman's worth,' and allow her to behave in ways which are 'unacceptable' and 'unladylike.' But why do we ridicule women and not the men who are responsible for funding the industry and sustaining it for centuries?

Weird Ways to Make Money in the Sex Industry ($2,000 to $10,000 a Month) *MUST READ*
Selling Your Used Panties As weird as this sounds, there is absolutely a whole market for this type of thing. Women all over the world have been selling their used panties for cold hard cash. What these women do is they put on underwear, keep them on for a few hours, even make a mess of them (if you catch my drift) and then they put them on a variety of websites dedicated to these exchanges. Then POOF! Cash in your pocket! Some women often charge more for skid marks, which is kind of nasty if you think about it. However, people seem to enjoy the nice brown scenery. During my research, I found that a woman had made $33,000 dollars from selling used panties only! That's insane! Makes you wonder if you should just quit your job and shit your pants, huh?

Welcome to Jack and Jill!
I spent my entire life as an animal caregiver and veterinary technician, but what do you do when you can no longer work your life-long career? In December of 2017, I was attacked by a patient and I have to have my whole left arm reconstructed. Aside from other scarring on my body, my mind was scarred too and I had to take a break from my once beloved career.

From Exotic Dancing to Motherhood
At the age of 21, I decided to quit my hostess job and work at a local strip club. My boyfriend, at the time, fully supported me. I auditioned, got the job, and started that upcoming weekend. I shopped around for sexy lingerie and high heels. No one told me that there’s a specific type of high heel that is made for exotic dancing and I found that out right after my first night of aching feet.

What I've Learned from Selling Nudes
I know that just from the title I am probably going to receive a lot of judgment from sharing this with people. However, I am not ashamed nor will anyone make me feel as though I should be. I feel like sharing my story could open a lot of eyes and provide some insight to a whole other world that has been stigmatized in our society.

Sex Sells
“Sex sells.” It’s an old advertising adage. It might be shocking that at one point, I had considered advertising as a career. The answer to the question, why is because I wanted to do something creative. In Michigan, and I’m guessing throughout most of the mid-west, we are told that there is no money in writing. Sure, there are journalists, but with the newspaper industry dying a slow death, parents worry about their kids having a decent career. Being the rebel I am, the decision to write came after I lost my job eight years ago. I have been a writer, a paid writer for almost a decade!

My First Scene in Porn
I remember getting a message on Fetlife about an ad that was posted looking for models for a porn shoot. I replied expecting for it to get nowhere, and mostly did it as a joke. Two hours after I signed out of the site, I had already forgotten about the whole thing and continued with my day. I had just moved to Phoenix and didn't know anyone yet. Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a notification, alerting me to a message I received from the producer scouting for models:
