As you know, I am a lady of the night. An escort, a prostitute, hooker, harlot, whatever you want to call me. I’m not new to the sex industry, which I explained a bit in a previous post.
If you can’t be bothered to read the previous post, I get it. But here is a quick run down:
During my university days, way back in 2010, I was EXTREMELY poor. There were weeks where I only had £5 to feed myself for the week. I’d make a big batch of spag bol and eat that. I couldn’t afford lunch or breakfast.
Desperate times!
The idea of escorting started when I was talking to a friend about being some kind of companion. Absolutely no sex, I would be providing a date for men. Afterall, I was better than that, or so I thought.
The seed was planted.
I didn’t admit to my friend that I already knew sex would of course be involved. Most men don’t want to spend a large amount of money on a woman for the sake of it. I wasn’t that naive.
So, I eventually created an Adultwork profile and got going.
The first job I did, was so nerve-wracking that I had to drink wine just to get some dutch courage. By the time I got there I was almost wetting myself.
Anyway, long story short, I was earning more money than I could have ever imagined. During the quiet periods I did webcamming, too.
I came to realise that the sex industry was nowhere near as seedy as I thought. I was thrust into this new world and it was exciting.
As such, today I want to outline exactly what I love about the sex industry.
- The sheer amount of diversity in the sex industry
One of the things that I absolutely love about this industry is that there is so much variety and diversity. There are kinks for absolutely everything, and I’m still discovering new ones each day.
Variety in the sex industry doesn’t just span kinks either.
You’ve got webcam workers from young to old, a variety of genders, couples and groups.
Porn is so readily available now, there is something for absolutely everyone.
Don’t fancy webamming? There’s webchat only (which I have also dabbled in) for those that prefer text based connections.
The sex toy market is incredible, along with a huge variety of outfits for roleplaying.
There are dominatrixes that provide non-sexual connections, travel companions, cuddle buddies, and foot worshippers. Heck, you can even take courses that provide escort training.
The sex industry is interesting, exciting, playful, fun, and most of all, massively diverse.
- The empowerment that the sex industry brings
One of the big benefits that the sex industry has given me is a massive confidence boost, as well as making me feel empowered.
Yes, I am not the thinnest of women, and some may think I am not conventionally pretty.
But what I do know is that men (and women) are willing to pay me for my time. a LOT of money.
As mentioned in preivous posts, of course I do sex work for the money. That being said, being wanted for your services comes with a big boost in my confidence.
- You get to meet a whole different set of people
I’ve always loved meeting new people. From working at The Co-op, to working on the phones in a call centre, I thrive on human connection. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely need my alone time.
Being able to meet a big variety of different people as part of my sex work is really good fun. I also get to engage in some really fun role plays on occasion.
Of course the people I see most are men, but each of them have their own story, their own career, and its truly fascinating learning and building connections as part of my job.
- The money is good, not gonna lie
I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say that the money is good. My current rates definitely aren’t the cheapest. I do still wonder whether I am really worth that much money. Imposter syndrome kicks in on a regular basis.
Saying that though, the money I’ve earned has allowed to buy sexy new outfits for my clients, has allowed me to pay for this self-hosted blog and domain (igniting my passion for writing again), and means my cats are very well fed!
The sex industry allows me to set my own schedule, means I’m not stuck in a building all day, and truly can be my own boss.
- The sex industry brings freedom
Finally, the sex industry has brought me freedom.
I have been able to leave a hugely draining teaching job, it has allowed me to stop working fifty plus hours per week, and has brought peace of mind.
Writing this post is making me feel quite selfish. I hate talking about myself! But, I wanted to show y that there are lots of aspects of the sex industry that I truly, truly love.
Maybe my next post will touch on the things I don’t love about the sex industry!
Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this! Let me know.
Ta ta for now,
Lexi Rose xx
