So things you may not realize about sex work, it's not just picking up a camera and taking a quick selfie.
- You have to have good lighting/lighting equipment (cost money)
- You have to network a TON. About every day to get traction!
- You have to have a variety of outfits/lingerie!
- Editing can take HOURS!
- Making content is often difficult, sometimes it requires another person, or additional equipment.
- We often deal with fetishes that we don't like.
- Some angles are soo difficult to capture, and depending on body type can be very painful.
- Taking pics/videos often are lots of outtakes, ruined shots/moments and can take hours. I spend about 2+ hours a day making content.
- Sex toys are not cheap!
- When we price a custom or send out PPV people often wonder why it's pricey. Well, think of it like this. We often set up lighting/makeup and hair done, set up camera, toys, do the work which can take a while because of different camera angles, things not going right, then edit it, then promote ourselves, clean up, sanitize toys set up the price, send it out and hope we aren't selling ourselves short! Customs take longer especially for things we haven't done.
- Sexting is a lot of work too!
- We survive off tips! It makes us feel super loved and appreciated.
- You most likely gotta have a gimmick/niche!
- It's not easy and often times than not, you get ignored.
- If you're a minority, you get fetishized or misgendered, sometimes you have to misgender yourself.
- People expect everything to be for free.
- People don't respect it.
- We are still people.
Don't get me wrong. I love doing this, it's super liberating and freeing. But there are some things people don't realize when doing this kind of work. As I stated, it's not just picking up a camera and taking a selfie. There's so much more to it than that. So if you're appreciating sex work, tip your sex workers! We legit love it and appreciate it. We deal with a lot of bullshit, timewasters and rude people.
