Following on from one of my previous topics, I found myself wondering about this question from the other side.

Could you actually do the job yourself?

But before anyone starts saddling up their moral high horse, that is not what I am talking about.

I mean practically.

A lot of people look at sex work and see easy money. They see somebody earning in a night what another person might earn in a week or even a month or two. From the outside it can look like a very favorable arrangement. But I have always thought that depends entirely on whether you could actually tolerate the work itself.

Personally, I could not.

Not because of morality, social stigma or because I think there is anything wrong with people who choose to do it. I simply cannot imagine forcing myself to be physically intimate with people I found completely unappealing, maybe even physically revolting, purely because money was involved. In fact, the more I think about it, the less appealing the whole idea sounds.

Imagine having to wake up every morning knowing that later that day you may have to spend hours with some stranger pretending to be interested in somebody you would never voluntarily spend ten minutes with under normal circumstances, let alone take your clothes off and let them interact with you sexually.

Not only interested.

Interested, attentive, charming, patient, and enthusiastic. That sounds less like easy money and more like an acting career with unusually demanding performance reviews, but actually it's a lot worse.

Whenever people describe sex work as easy money, I find myself wondering whether they are focusing entirely on the money part and not enough on the work part. Because if the job was genuinely that easy, a lot more people would be doing it. Perhaps that is the real dividing line.

Some people look at the financial reward and think the sacrifice is worth it. Others look at the sacrifice and decide no amount of money would make it worthwhile. As for me, I cannot even pretend to enjoy small talk with people I dislike. So the idea of taking the concept significantly further for financial reasons sounds utterly exhausting.

It depends. 2 questions first.

1 unlimited supply of cialis?

2 will you be my pimp ?

Toy boy ?
