From today, sex work is (mostly) decriminalised in Victoria. This is huge for sex worker rights, and enables a safer, more diverse and more vibrant sex industry. However, police surveillance and harassment of marginalised workers (including street based and migrant workers)

The whole diet culture/fatphobic takes from 'high end' sw is so weird to me. Like you're saying that you've never dropped a chunk of dick money on a bowl of pasta or steak bigger than your head? Don't wanna judge but that's absolutely doing it all wrong.

Last night I met a new client who, in the space of a week, had gotten his first tattoo, commenced study towards his childhood dream and engaged a companion for the first time. Honestly inspiring to play a small part in someone living their best life ❤️💕

"Bet I'm not your typical type of client!" is imo always a weird thing to say to a swer, but especially because it nearly always comes from Tim, 48, kids, works in IT, likes craft beer and David Bowie.

@ingodwetryst @JimmyPuffin @highdefgf @nyc_redhead This also applies outside of the US. Fosta/sesta drove up the price of advertising directories GLOBALLY, and 'post'-pandemic inflation/scarcity means accommodation and travel overheads are too high of risk for most individuals to carry upfront

2/ If you’re a client, and you see a swer asking for tips or info relating to sw, swers need you to assume that this question is NOT DIRECTED AT YOU, but at industry peers in their online spaces. Your ‘tips’ may be totally useful for other business, but amount to misinformation

The top 3 things that you can do to make yourself attractive to sex workers are: 1. Be pro-active about your own sexual health education, routine testing, treatment and prevention 2. Be ready to spend money and have a good time with a cool human you respect; and 3. Take a real

A lot of Australian-based sex workers are feeling really gross and vulnerable right now. If you love, know, or jerk off to an aus provider, tip them, send them a kind message and call out bullshit in the media and community.

When I (and I think a lot of providers) say "sometimes I will be available last minute, but it's generally a good idea to book a week or so in advance" it's not feigning exclusivity - it's honestly just because I am a human with a life running a business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@FoxandtheFeline I also think in the age of social media and 'post'-pandemic, the concept of 'high end' has kinda become obsolete. All commercial sex is a luxury service, and a provider's rates indicate nothing more than a number that works for them.

Identical to the rate advertised or quoted. It's almost as if...the "exhorbitant" rates charged by all of us really loaded hookers (who are currently struggling for rent and groceries) are actually totally reasonable? Makes u think hey.

I can’t believe I am having to say this but: if you are lucky enough to meet a companion in their private space, it is NEVER acceptable to just rock up to their door. I’m legitimately fucking rattled, and if dude had pulled that stunt next week it would have been my 70 year old
