I got into sex work because I was homeschooled in a borderline fundamentalist Christian cult my whole life and expected to become a housewife. My parents made too much money for me to qualify for aid for me to go to college, but refused to help me at all financially or cosign on any loans. So at 19 I went to work on a factory floor for 50-60hr weeks with no education and no prospects, and I would go multiple days in a row without seeing the sun.

So yeah, I worked hard and did what I could and I decided that I would prefer sex work over that life.

My posts may seem harsh because I am frustrated by peoples' lack of understanding that being able to work as a sex worker is a *privilege* (to borrow a woke term) that poor men simply do not have. A poor man in your position would have no choice but to keep working these low paying jobs. It is ironic to me that leftists who keep calling everyone privileged will willingly ignore this obvious fact because in their worldview men are privileged by default.
Why not? You could be the loverboytoy of older cougars, or be the fuckpiece for gay- or bisexually oriented man. If that's not your thing you still could join the military and be cannonfodder.
