More and more women are turning to the sex industry to pay their bills and I don’t mean that they are becoming prostitutes. I mean that they have entered the world of sexy money, by cashing in on their sexuality. Just be warned, when you hear how much money these women are making you may be tempted to follow suit.
So if they aren’t prostitutes, how do they make money in the sex industry? A better question would be how do they not. Apparently people will pay good money for absolutely anything they find sexy, even your pants (I mean knickers for all you U.S folk, not trousers). Seriously.
Some women sell their used pants. I read about this in Glamour magazine and one woman would sell her used pants for £50. She made £7000 in six months.
Is it weird?-Yes.
Would you be embarrased telling people what you do for a living?- Probably.
Would you constantly be buying pants?- Yes.
Would you be rolling in cash -Definately.
Would you need a proper job? -No.
Are you tempted…?
Other women go down the sex line route. Men call them and the women talk dirty… you get the picture. Ever seen the movie Valentine’s Day? Think along the line’s of Anne Hathaway’s character. I don’t have any solid numbers for how much sex line workers get paid. It seems to vary from company to company, I have had a quick look on line and the first company said that you get paid per minute but will only tell actual pay rates to applicants. Another company said £10 an hour, but I get the feeling that that may be on the lower end of the scale. If any of you have any information about pay for sex line workers then please tell us in the comments section.
Now sex-line work to me seems a heck of a lot more difficult than the pants thing. You have to listen to all the wierd and probably not so wonderful sexual fantasies of the people who call you up. There was a TV programme about phone sex broadcast here in Scotland a few weeks ago and one of the sex line workers said that she had lost all faith in men because she had heard all of men’s deep dark fantasies as it were. However some of the other workers on the show seemed to enjoy the job, one of them would even take calls while her friends were over and let them listen in for a laugh.
Other ways women are making money in the sex industry are from ‘sugar daddy’ type websites, where anything from gifts, holidays and allowances are traded for dates, phone calls and webcam calls/shows. Some women are also taking the more ‘backstage’ roles in the sex industry, e.g waitressing in a strip club, you are just a waitress but you make a lot more money by waitressing in a strip club than in a normal bar(although I’m guessing that you probably wear less too.)
So tell me your thoughts. Would you do any of this work? Are you against it morally? What do you think it means for women in general? Are women in the sex industry shrewdly making use of their sexuality for cash? or are they endangering the place of women in society by reducing us to sexual objects? If any of you work in the sex industry please comment, tell us your experiences and thoughts. If any men are reading please let us know what you think too.

Hmm my take… sleazy. Only because it’s selling sexualized humanity. I’m not a fan, but that’s just me. LA x
Thanks for telling us your take it on it, I suppose that when you get right down to it, you can’t disguise the fact that all of the services are cashing in on some kind of sexual gratification x
Hi there! I’ve nominated you for a live passionately award! Details on my blog!
Phone sex work sounds easy, but it is in fact very, very difficult to do. You have to be constantly thinking, and also have to deal with people who have no qualms with calling you every name under the sun because it’s anonymous (and they’re paying). Also you’re paid by the minute, and not paid untill the minute’s up, so you have to work really frickin hard to make sure they don’t hang up after 55 seconds…I’ve sold my knickers, and yes it’s a cinch. Buy ‘em from primark and advertise them on your Adultwork profile – though I don’t think I’ll ever make £7k from it, rather £25 a pair minus expenses. Prostitution; if you want real insight into this I suggest you google the SAAFE forum for the prostitutes take on things and Punternet for the punters. It’s a strange world that exists right under your nose, but you won’t know anything about it unless you seek – and then you normalise it very quickly.
I really like your blog, and you write in such a fluid and read-able way that I shall be following!
Take care (sorry for the essay…) x
Thanks for your insight sass and thanks for following, I’m following you too btw, still reading your blog and the feeling is mutual, you are a very engaging writer. I reckon that your blog could become a book very easily and I bet that loads of people would buy it. I would.
No need to apologise for long comments, I’m more than happy to read them
Thanks for stopping by xx
I’m not a woman, but I can see how a woman would lose all faith in men. I wouldn’t think less of someone if they were doing it, but I would definitely wonder what the trade off would be. Is selling yourself restricted to contact?
Thanks for the input Luke. I don’t know if selling yourself is restricted to contact, it’s a good question. I suppose it may depend on your attitude to the work, and how you do it. Many of the phone sex women play an acting role, being a character completely different from their ordinary selves so they may not see it as selling themselves, however it is the real them that hears everything that is said on the phone and that has to respond to it and maybe that counts as selling yourself. I suppose only the women who do it can really know if they are selling themselves or not. If anyone else has an opinion on this, let’s hear (read) it
I work in theatre, I can definitely understand how they could form a character. That concerns me, as the best actors learn to identify which parts of themselves to inject in to a character. Flying blind there might have invisible consequences. It’s a really interesting topic, as the general attitude with many girls is that there is a significant difference between sex and sex-line work. I’m not so sure.
Well written
Thanks Luke, I appreciate you taking the time to comment
I suppose the difference between sex and sex-line work boils down to emotional involvement and your attitude towards sex in general so it makes sense that people have varying opinions about how closely the 2 are related.
