what types of jobs are “sex work”?

sexworkerproblems:

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, escorts, call girls, and courtesans alike)
• stripper
• porn performer
• webcam model
• professional dominant (offline and on)
• professional submissive
• phone sex operator
• “happy ending” massage parlour workers
• peep show performers

Sex workers are of every gender and no gender. Sex workers are young, old, and middle aged. Sex workers are rich, poor, or in the middle—hopefully comfortable. Sex workers come in every size and color, with any kind of body you can imagine. We run the gamut from glam to dowdy.
You can’t tell a whore by looking.
This is not meant to be a complete list and obviously there are some practises that fall into a grey area, like sugar baby/daddy(or mommy) relationships. As some commenters have pointed out, a lot of sex work is opportunistic, and thus many more people will trade sex for compensation, in practice, than will ever think of themselves as “sex workers”.

How to stalk people on the internet

This was originally posted by Bawksy on Ambercutie Forums.
I definitely recommend going to the site and reading through the entire thread. A lot of other models and members also added a bunch of useful info as well.
http://www.ambercutie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5764


We see threads from time to time in this forum asking about whether Amazon Wishlists are secure, whether IP addresses can be traced, and so on. I'm sure the models-only section has plenty of information about how to protect your identity online too. These threads are useful, but the best way to protect from a stalker is to get into the mind of a stalker.

The purpose of this thread is to document in specific detail all the techniques that a stalker might use to find a cam model. This is not to educate would-be-stalkers, but rather to educate cam girls as to how to protect themselves from said techniques.

Before I get started, I'd like to point out here that no preventative measures can ever protect you completely from being found by a stalker. Please read this post here before we get started:

The Murder of the DC Madam

DC Madam Predicted She Would Be Suicided "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," Palfrey wrote - Time Magazine curiously quick to re-affirm suicide story

Click here to listen to Palfrey clearly state that she would not commit suicide.

DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey predicted she would be "suicided" on several occasions both recently and as far back as 17 years ago - comments that now appear ominous in light of the announcement that the former head of a Washington escort service allegedly killed herself today.

"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice squad of having a vendetta against her. 

During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.

Palfrey had threatened to release the names of well-known clients of her upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol, and had indicated that Dick Cheney may be one of them.

"We now know it goes at least as high as a United States Senator," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show, "I'm hearing rumors now from other people that there are other possibilities in that stratosphere so to speak, on that level."

"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance in March, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

"Blanche Palfrey had no sign that her daughter was suicidal, and there was no immediate indication that alcohol or drugs were involved, police Capt. Jeffrey Young said," according to an AP report.

UPDATE: In an almost uncanny development, as soon as this article started to go viral on the Internet, Time Magazine released a story claiming that Palfrey told author Dan Moldea that she would rather commit suicide than go to jail. What a funny coincidence!

An Open Letter From A Stripper

[This is a Re-post]

 http://jezebel.com/5603659/an-open-letter-from-a-stripper?tag=firstperson

Girl, your man owes me 60 dollars. About your man: white, early 30s, balding, slightly chubby, suited, small dick rubbing into my ass. Your typical strip club patron.

I gave him five lap dances before he claimed he did not know they were 20$ per dance, then bolted without paying me. Before he did, though, he nervously stammered about how he liked this club because it seemed to respect patrons' privacy, like we were entering into some tacit agreement.
We weren't! First of all, as a man coming to a strip club by himself when his girlfriend was out of town, there was no way you didn't know that every club charges 20$ a dance. There are signs up saying as much too, but because I gave you the benefit of the doubt I even agreed not to charge you for the last dance. But then again, even if you did not know, saying you were going to the ATM directly outside and then bolting after you felt you had solicited some confirmation that I wouldn't tell on you is a dirty, dirty thing to do, and here's why.
I should not have to convince you that the work I do deserves pay like everyone else, but because you seem like a stupid man, I will give you a quick run-through. I do not make any hourly/shift wage. In fact, I have to tip out every night that I work. Its called a house fee, it can run up to 200$ depending on the club, and its part of a model that is pervasive throughout the service industry. This is also why you should also tip waitresses and bartenders fairly. I am also not an employee but an independent contractor, meaning I have no worker's rights or larger support network, like a union.

Basics of cam modeling on MFC in a nut shell

There's good money to be made in webcam modeling and even more money in G/G shows on cam with the proper planning, a good promotion a head of time.

Here is an example of a good promotional ad of a successful webcam show from AedanRayne and Oohthatlady

Here's a screen shot of their show:

There is also good money to be made in selling content of past shows (ie, Photo sets, and videos).

Here's an example ad of content from one of AedanRayne and JolenJolen's past shows:
