Bitches with degrees also get two days off a week.
Well sure but a decent, independent escort in a city is easily pulling in $200-$500 per client, seeing more than one client per day, and getting paid in cash. There are some expenses to account for but it’s pretty feasible to net six figures over the course of a year working just 5 days a week… or so I’ve heard.
Most SWers get paid per hour, not per client, and that ranges depending on the city, generally $500/hr on average for full service. Most are not high volume (danger goes up from both clients and authorities, which is why high volume tends to not be as intimate and tends to be in a building for that purpose, eg happy ending massages, bunny ranches. Or high volume tends to be strippers who can find clients quickly and easily). Most tend to see men mostly on weekends (demand). Even so, it’s still lucrative, can be a good side hustle, and gives you a lot of free time.
There are other payment structures as well. I am a Dominatrix, so how I personally structure my payments are a little different and my relationships with my subs are a little different (nonsexual sex work). I’m extremely low volume, I require ongoing relationships (no one and done), I take on 1-3 subs at maximum. Because I do this, I have very high payment thresholds, which are not hourly but instead usually weekly or monthly and usually include extras like gifts, travel, apartments, etc. I also get a small amount of money through the porn/nudes I make, which are really just advertising for my Dominatrix business (I honestly do not enjoy taking nudes at all, it’s not very fun for me).
I partially do this payment structure because of the special relationship of a Domme/sub and things like sub drop, where I may need to be “on call” and available for my subs. BDSM is trauma work, I am confident about that, and subs can be triggered and may need extra assistance afterwards. I do not think it’s ethical to do the kind of trauma work that is required in BDSM and then retraumatize them by repeating patterns of neglect and abuse. The healing part of BDSM is that the nightmare ends and gets addressed, or is transformed in some way.
I have a pretty good life. I get to travel all over and I get to do everything I want to do. I have a ton of free time as well. I don’t think I’d enjoy being a different type of SWer but I do love being a Dominatrix a LOT. Something about telling a millionaire he’s a pathetic baby unfit to lick my feet while he’s groveling on his floor in a maid dresss really does it for me 🤌
Username most definitely checks out
Some expenses like paying for drugs so you’re able to do that without feeling like killing yourself, paying your pimp that needs to pay your driver/bodyguard… In the end you might as well just get that degree instead.
Not everyone needs drugs to feel good about the work they’re doing. Sounds like a personal problem to me. Not sure why pimps come into the picture, and body guards and drivers just sound like wise investments if you can afford them in this day and age.
It’s just the reality of the work we’re talking about in this conversation, drug use is extremely common in that field. Not every job has a majority of workers that are hard drug users.
So it’s more of a side hustle.
Let’s just if it’s one guy a day. And that already puts you above minimum wage.
Make this a full-time job, get eight guys in a day. $292,000 a year. And you still weren’t even be working all day!
At those numbers that’s not a side gig, that’s just a full career with early retirement depending on lifestyle.
Except for, you know, the whole pimps extorting you and generalized abuse and ill treatment of sex workers. Forced labor, human trafficking risk, etc.
i’m not saying those things aren’t a problem, but they don’t really move the needle in places where sex work is considered real work
The places where sex work is considered real work and protected by law are a very tiny minority. Most of the world criminalizes sex work which adds police and state harassment to my list.
not a problem with the concept; that’s a problem with local law
I have a tendency of caring more for the real world and real people than about concepts. My bad.
great! then you should be all for legalised and regulated sex work… because that’s the way it is here in melbourne, australia and its excellent and good for everyone… in the real world
I’d let dudes bang me for $100 a day, and I’m not even gay. Realistically, how long we talking per session? 5 minutes if they’re lucky?
Why not just let 7 dudes a day do it for 100 a pop. $700 for 35 minutes of “work” with 6 days to let my bum hole recover.
Maybe double down a few times before holidays for some extra spending money.
Well… ya know… std’s and what not…
If it’s a numbers game, how many loads can you take before being exposed to something with life-long consequences, statistically speaking?
STDs, protection against being raped, kidnapped/trafficked, or murdered, the travel time and cleanup between clients unless you’re in-house, and in that case the cost of maintaining a safe and comfortable space, and finally the side effort you have to work on to maintain a body / appearance that people actually want to fuck. I’m all for sex work being legal, but it should be regulated specifically to protect workers.
How would regulation fix those things? Versus decriminalization?
The same way OSHA prevents workers from being expendable labor because of unsafe workplaces. I don’t want decriminalization. I want legalization. And I know OSHA doesn’t exactly fit the bill, but regulating sex work already exists in Nevada, and it’s much better for said workers.
Well, we could just make a law requiring that sex workers own their own means of production and anyone who owns a sex worker’s means of production is a human trafficker. But then the other workers in other industries might catch on that they are also being trafficked. Please note that this is what decriminalization does, as it is still illegal to be a pimp - so legalization actually allows for greater exploitation of sex workers by capitalists and banks.
How often a worker should be tested is between her and a doctor and perhaps a public health official. It should not be regulated by lawmakers who don’t understand medicine anyway. There are already laws in place about communicating STI status between adults.
Friends without benefits
Other way around, benefits without friends.
I suppose we’re all whores in some sense.
No, only whores are whores. Whoring is a storied profession, and it doesn’t do it justice to call anyone a whore.
Personally, I think men and women, or people of any gender, are better off not whoring to sustain themselves. If they do it for a hobby, I think that’s better. I hate the idea of someone having to do something most people consider intimate or a privilege to just get some food or a nice vacation. That’s why I also find OnlyFans kinda sad, but I understand that not everyone is a practically a monk like me and they have a different pov about sex or intimacy
Your mom was a whore if she got married. Every woman in your family line who has been married is a whore. It’s just socially acceptable to be a whore, to have sex for money, as long as it’s in a marriage contract. The sole purpose of a marriage contract is to make the bride a whore.
But that’s as good as ~60k in a job where you pay taxes
Where are taxes that high?
