I literally can't do this anymore.

Backstory: I started doing sex work when I was 19 back in 2010. I became an anarchist as a teenager and hung out at infoshops during my high school years. After I went off to college I began doing SW, largely because I viewed it as a way to make money that didn't involve wage slavery. Many of the other anarchist women I knew (both cis and trans) were SWers and introduced me to the whole culture. I loved every minute of it. I got to work on my own terms with no hierarchical domination by a boss. I could decide my own schedule. I could say no to clients I thought were creepy or oppressive. I wasn't paying taxes to the settler-colonialist AmeriKKKan government. To me, and many other anarchist comrades, sex work was anti-work.

During my time as a SW, I was able to finish college and pay off my student loans in no time at all. I was able to pay my rent in a city where rent prices are through the roof. I was able to contribute to paying for my friends' and comrades' rent, student loan debt, medical bills, legal bills, HRT, bike repair, ADHD medications, and many other things involving mutual aid. Between 2014-2017 I was making more money than I knew what to do with. At my "peak" I was making $2k a week. It was an incredible experience. And best of all, I felt like I was actually engaging in anarchism. I wasn't being a hypocrite when it came to my values. I was telling the capitalist system and the state to fuck off and showing that my body or my will couldn't be dominated. All of that changed when the pandemic hit. I couldn't serve clients anymore due to the lockdowns. But the biggest problem was something even worse. Around this time began the growth of OnlyFans. I saw how more and more people fully integrated into the colonial-capitalist system were starting OF accounts. So I started one too, and I started making money, but it was nowhere near what I was making as a SW previously.

And this is exactly why I'm thinking of quitting SW. OnlyFans has essentially done to SW what AirBNB has done to housing and Uber has done for public transportation. But the worst part is, OF has made SW no longer subversive. SW was originally a way for marginalized and colonized folx to break out of wage slavery and become their own boss, and also to reclaim control of their bodies from the colonial-imperialist-YT supremacist-capitalist-patriarchal cistem. Now, every single suburban white girl starts an OnlyFans the day she turns 18 in order to make a few extra bucks. In fact they're now ENCOURAGED to start one. There are even Hollywood celebrities, big-named influencers and YouTubers who have OF accounts, people who already make loads of money yet feel the need to take money away from people who are far more oppressed than them. And they now have the nerve to call themselves "sex workers" because of it. Look at all the top creators on OF and you'll notice how the vast majority of them are colonially attractive, white, cis, able-bodied and have what a eugenicist would determine as "good genes." What was once the domain of the marginalized, queer, neurodivergent, colonized and internally-colonized has now become the domain of the colonizer.

So, to put it lightly, I can't do sex work anymore. There is no point. Even if I was still making thousands of dollars a month it doesn't feel worth it anymore. Not when OnlyFans has gentrified SW and the subversive quality of it is completely gone. I feel mentally abandoned.

My problem is, I have no idea how I'm going to survive now. I literally can't get a "real" job in retail or in the food industry. I spent 15 years of my life as a SW and don't have the experience for anything else. I've never made a resume. I'm autistic so I can't look customers in the eye. I'm also ADHD so I can't handle tasks very well. My AuDHD also gives me a strong sense of justice and I often feel like I'm too moral to be working in capitalism. And on top of it, I'm chronically ill so I'm constantly low on spoons and spend about half my day in bed. I dread having to go back to live with my mother, because she's 72 years old and would force me to be her caregiver even though she knows I'm disabled myself.

Any comrades have advice for this gal?

Welcome to what the rest of us have had to do this whole time, you privileged petit-booj.
Yes. It's horrible. I'm not going to pretend it isn't.

>>708004
Some men are attractive enough to do gay4pay so I don't know whats your point.

>>708520
“Some men” isn‘t men in general, meanwhile women in general can whore themselves out because men‘s desire is that easy for them to get. Additionally, if the vast majority of men are heterosexual doing gay sex work isn‘t a realistic option, but I‘m sure you will act obtuse now for the sake of pushing your contrived argument.

Writing a novel takes time and effort that most people with autism and ADHD don't have.

How does the Marxist LTV explain this?

>>712418
Scams have existed from the dawn of time anon. Marx doesn't need to explain the mechanics of a scam.

>>704276
only goes to show how stupid anarkiddies are

>>704963
thats the true evil if you think about it

>>704276
Well thats disgusting.

I feel bad for you but once you cut all the progressive fluff this is basically just an independent petty bourgeois (in the actual sense that you own your means of production) complaining that the market is too oversaturated now because of technological changes
It's like hearing online artists complaining that now everyone can use AI to make goonslop instead of paying 69 dollarinos for a png commission. Like i sympathize with the artisan class man but what else can you say about it

>>712586
Just wait until sex robots make sex work effectively obsolete.

>>704276
>I saw how more and more people fully integrated into the colonial-capitalist system were starting OF accounts. So I started one too, and I started making money, but it was nowhere near what I was making as a SW previously.

Aren't the biggest creators on OF professional porn actresses?

you are forever a whore and you should kill yourself

Won't continue with SW, or can't continue with SW since you're now in your mid-30s competing with uberized 18 year olds for the pervo-dollar? That's one of the signifies of how SW isn't a way of cheating society out of selling your labour, in that it's pretty fair weather based on age and appearance, you'll be left destitute the second the people you're dependant on desiring you think you've "hit the wall", if you've not done the trading places thing and saved up to set yourself for life, which it sounds like you haven't.

>>712586
>but what else can you say about it
There's a bit more you can say about it. I think the OP has a legit point about gentrification. Alright, one thing "alternative" lifestyles aren't an alternative to is capitalism. But we all have to make a living, under capitalism. And the sex industry does at least give people who find it difficult to do a regular job, for various reasons ,a way to earn money.
Or did. gentrification is eating into that.
It's been happening in Soho in London, for example. Formerly a red light district with loads of pubs and where genuine artists and weirdos would hang out (Francis Bacon for example. ) the prostitution "walk ups" are gradually disappearing. Coffee shops there now have red neon prostitution signs as decor, but no actual prostitution. The place is being turned into a tourist trap/ theme park.

>>712598
>or can't continue with SW since you're now in your mid-30s competing with uberized 18 year olds for the pervo-dollar?
Nah, plenty of older women doing it. In fact, it's a market in itself. They just invest in more "classy " looking lingerie.

>>712599
>Bohemian artists pretending they are proles being forced out by housing speculators
Again anon you can put as much progressive fluff over this, you are literally an artisan who earns a living through creative work. You are here making money through hustling in the streets instead of unionizing with proles and now you are bemoaning the collapse of your distinct class stratum. You can rant about gentrification or "opening spaces to marginalized folx" all you want, we are dealing with the cold calculation of the economy here not artiste bohemian lib sensibilities

How much do you charge bitch

>>712651
Has anyone ever orgasmed looking at Mona Lisa? I dont think so.
Also
>russian saboteurRAPIST
You are but a pale imitation of Rapeuyghur.

> I'm autistic so I can't look customers in the eye.
Isn't sex work way more intimate and thus emotionally taxing? I don't believe a professional sex worker who does very intimate performances for an entire hour is unable to greet retail customers, am I getting trolled?

>>712599
>Coffee shops there now have red neon prostitution signs as decor, but no actual prostitution
because literal prostitution has become uberized too. it's not just limited to porn production. there's literal soliciting apps on the google play store barely disguised as dating apps.

I just cant respect sex workers one bit especially after using their services.

>>712668
ig it depends fucking itself doesn't take much social interaction really sincey its just body mechanics but most clients will try make small talk and whatnot while others want you to act like you are friends/lovers and that you are actually attracted to them there are even people who are not even interested in sex and just want the social interaction

>>712718
>>712668
so basically if you consider sex something intimate you probably can't do sex work at all

>>712586
>but once you cut all the progressive fluff this is basically just an independent petty bourgeois (in the actual sense that you own your means of production) complaining that the market is too oversaturated now because of technological changes
OP is AuDHD so I don’t think she’s necessarily petit-bourg. A lot of sex workers are neurodivergent since sex work is one of the few career fields where ND people thrive. A lot of sex workers have CPTSD for example which makes it impossible for them to hold down a “real” job.

>What was once the domain of the marginalized, queer, neurodivergent, colonized and internally-colonized has now become the domain of the colonizer.
Imagine talking about marginalized people being forced into sex work like it's a good thing lmao. Anarkiddie moment.

>>712868
Randy there was a very marginalized queer man. All he wanted was some cheeseburgers but he had to swallow all that old man cock.

>>712881
He didn't have to do anything, he and Mr. Leyhey were soul mates. He only went back to whoring himself out again when their relationship fell apart. OP would have us believe that this is a good thing and "subversive" somehow, as if helping creeps get off for money is going to cause serious damage to the capitalist-imperialist system. Shit I've fucked plenty of dudes on Grindr for free and I don't think it's done much to shake the foundations of bourgeois society.

Some perspective

>>712868
Because what is their alternative, working as a minimum wage cashier?

>>714979
That's beside the point. Being overrepresented in sex work is a symptom of being marginalized by being forced into a dangerous, precarious profession. It makes no sense to celebrate this. It would be like Mexican migrants celebrating the fact that they are locked out of secure, safe, well paying professions and are stuck as farmworkers and day labourers. Why would you celebrate a symptom of your oppression and bemoan the fact that other people are horning in on it? This is emblematic of modern Anarchism's tendency to fetishize marginalization rather than seeking to abolish it.

>>715024
Sex work gives them opportunity to be less marginalised than they would be without sex work.

Have you considered just living in the woods and eating hikers?

Biggest bait post I’ve ever seen on here.

>>715989
Maybe you could not bump a post you recognize as being bait

I know it's plebbit, but this thread actually confirms what OP is saying here:

https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1o708zz/we_need_the_real_recession_indicator_strippers_of/

Basically, attendance at strip clubs has been abysmal since covid hit so a lot of strippers are turning to OF. Yet, very few of them make more than $100/month on that platform.

This thread shows once again that this site is filled to the brim with incels who think they're too cool to be on /pol/

Idk OP, can't you get a few regular clients so you have enough to survive at least? I doubt being a cammodel actually earns you money.

>>717340
Personally I think I'm too cool for everybody but also too subhuman for everybody. I go back and forth. Anyways has this chick found a solution to her problem yet?

>>717340
OP raises important discussion questions though.

>>717458
I was not talking about the op

>>714950
The top 1% hoes are oppressing the 99%

The main problem with onlyfans is there are fewer sex workers now. That means there's actually less SEX happening. Because the camwhores are just masturbating and so are their viewers.
So you're trans, right? So at one point if I wanted to suck a girldick I could get on some app and find you and pay you the $100 or whatever and do that. You get money and an orgasm and I get what I want.
If you can make your money off of your "fans", you're never going to give that orgasm to an actual person. You can't let down your viewers. It'd be a waste to not turn every single orgasm into "content" which you can even charge extra for beyond the subscription fee.
Everyone wants to be a porn star. But now it's harder to actually buy sex. I don't want to jack off to a video, I want contact with the person. And on some level the SW also wants that, right? You'd rather occasionally get fucked than just fuck yourself, right?
You shouldn't quit the sex work because dancing around in your living room in front of a webcam is not actually sex, and it's hardly work either. And you're not going to make anywhere near the money if you're not one of the hotter ones, as you admitted.

More people need to be fucking IRL, not virtually or digitally.

>>712800
"neurodivergence" is bullshit. all of it

>>717516
We need bunkers so people can have sex in them. I think that's what we're missing.

>>717516
Zoomers aren’t having sex at all. That’s why they think most sexual relationships are predatory in nature yet have no issue making an OF.

OP is a libshit


>>717728
Millennials started the whole sex-negative thing.

>>717516
The real problem is the moral obsession with sex and its gatekeeping.

>>720505
This.
OP actually think sex work is inherently"liberatory" for "le marginalized folk".

>>714979
Whats so worse about being a casher?

>>715034
The s some bullshit logic
