on porn and your rights to your work...
Re: the amateur porn model - It’s standard in many circles that if you are getting paid for the images, the photographer has no obligation to give you copies of the photos or let you view the product before it “goes to market,” so to speak. Some photographers will let you see stuff, so always ask, and see if you can find some people who let you keep/view the images. ...

We think it’s totally shady that you’re not allowed to see your own work. If what you’re doing sets off any alarm bells in your head… listen to them.
THAT SAID:
We don’t currently have any porn performers on the mod staff; if there are readers who’ve done porn who want to weigh in on this, PLEASE DO.
Stay safe,
SWP

Do you have any favorite sex worker related...
We tried posting a list of SW blogs and bloggers that we liked, but unfortunately a lot of those individuals received a good deal of harassment after the list was posted. It was never our intention to expose our friends and followers to that kind of negative attention, and we don’t want to do it again.

We do sometimes reblog posts from SW blogs we think are pretty rad, so you can use...

For new readers: what types of jobs are "sex...
Generally speaking, if you’re getting paid to get someone else hot and bothered, you’re doing some kind of sex work. Sex workers of all kinds, even if they aren’t actually having sex with anyone, have many of the same lifestyle pros and cons, as well as face the same “whore” stigma. More specific job titles can include:
prostitute (streetwalkers, rent boys, hookers,...

Anonymous asked: Re: Anon - I don't consider sugar babies to be sex workers, unless they are being paid for every hour of sexual favors. If sugar babies are sex workers, the line can blurs and goes into the field of people that enter into romantic partnerships at the slightest financial motivation.

Anonymous asked: I got into sex work for all the wrong reasons. But what I didn't expect was for it to turn my life around. I finally accept myself and like me for me. I love who I am and I love my body. Many of my regular clients are people I consider friends. I've been involved in sex working for a good portion of the past 5 years, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's not all bad,...

Anonymous asked: That last SWP... seems quite negatively judgmental towards prostitutes. I thought this blog was about community support? :( (I'm not here to make my own judgement call, but I think just saying "people outside the sex industry lump us together and don't distinguish between different types of sex work", though I know that's a bit long-winded! :P)

A couple questions about stripper safety:
After reading one of your posts about saying no is a dangerous thing, I felt you could answer my problem. I’m a stripper at a local club & every week the same man (loyal club customer) comes, offering thousands, to do what he wishes. I constantly say no. Idc about money if it comes to doing something I felt uncomfortable with…but he hasn’t let up. He hasn’t been...
Anonymous asked: hello! i have recently gained a lot of followers and 'fans' because of pictures i post. i want to possibly start making a living off of this because many people ask me to cam, etc. i actually wanted to start an amazon wish list for followers to get me things in exchange for a private photo. i was wondering if you know anything about how the wish list works? i'm worried that...
Anonymous asked: I've sort of started seeing this girl who's in this profession, and she's been honest with me about what she does since we've met. However, this blog has, I guess, raised questions for me, and...I guess what I'm trying to ask you guys is what are questions or topics I should stray away from when talking to her about work?

– One of our followers, RE: RU-486 in Australia.
A little bit of cursory googling on our part indicates that it’s legal but quite difficult to get ahold of in Australia. Not sure why. We hope Marie Stropes can help you!

Also, we’ve had a request come in from a worker who considers herself a sugar baby and wants to meet other friends who are also sugar babies. If you would like to connect with her, please send an email to sexworkerproblems at gmail dot com which we will forward on to...
