Obligatory **NoT aLL mEn**
Recently, there has been a massive amount of posts suggesting that sex-workers 'prey' or 'take advantage' of emotionally fragile men and con them for their money.
This rhetoric is insane. It's widely seen in /r/ConsumeProduct and in any set of comments where a post references a web sex worker. I'm a stripper. Every single night I work I'm sexually assaulted (or just plain physically).
I can do NOTHING about it because it's "part of the job".
I have to allow them to sexually assault me "3 times" before I'm allowed to end a dance.
These men walk into the strip club, pay the entry fee, and take out cash from our ATM, hundreds of dollars - and somehow I'm taking advantage of them?
These men who earn a yearly wage that's greater than my entire lineage combined, and are on average 2 decades older than me?
*I'm taking advantage of them? *
Men watch HOURS of free porn, not knowing whether the porn is obtained consensually, or not knowing if the porn is child rape porn, and absolutely knowing the actress isn't compensated for their view, her work - and do not give a flying fuck about who is getting "taken advantage of"
men watch efukt and laugh at crying actresses being pressured into consuming literal feces after being pressured to preform anal sex, with their income looming over their head, and do not give a flying fuck about ethics.
Since the day you're around 9-12 years old, you become sexualized by men.
Read that again. When you're a child, a prepubescent child, you become openly sexualized by men. Not boys your age. MEN.
This is when the cat calls start. This is when the creepy DMs start. This is when the men hearing you on the mic when you're playing video games with your family, start to message you.
Men on the bus start to ask you out, you tell them your age in this busy crowded bus where the public is listening and they respond with "it doesn't matter to me if it doesn't matter to you ;)" and no one bats an eye.
If you're reading this and in disbelief, scroll down to the comments, because I promise you loads of women have experienced all of this.
Since the day I was 16, I've had men proposition me in the streets for sex/money. Waiting at the school bus stop, with my backpack on I've had men wait for me, and trash at my face with their number and offer of money in exchange for sex. (I of course call the cops.)
So finally, after years and years of men asking me if I'll send them pictures of my naked body, I say YES. For a price.
See, If I'm going to be sexualized with or without my consent, I may as well earn a profit from it.
Men suddenly are victims of their own purchasing, of their own hypersexualization, of their own creation of this atmosphere.
All because I don't let them objectify me for free.
Go fuck yourself (after you buy my nudes).
I'm going to pay for my meds and buy groceries, tuition, and pay rent and I'm not going to feel bad about it.
If you want to ensure actresses and actors are not getting trafficked and that they consent in their porn distribution PAY FOR YOUR PORN, as directly to the performers as possible.
Thank you for saying all of this. Iām in porn and I cannot tell you how many guys scoff at the idea that I charge for my work. Like, how dare I be compensated for my hours and hours of shooting, filming, editing, purchasing toys and lingerie to keep the content fresh, etc. Like it or not, porn is a job. We deserve adequate compensation. Not to mention the companies that I work with take AT LEAST 50% of my earnings (and then I pay taxes on top of it).
If you can afford to, please support your favorite pornstars.
