Seeing SW talk about regularly falling for clients and being hopeless romantics dying for a "pretty woman" experience. Imagine choosing a mode in life where a client showing you "consideration" and "respect" makes you fall in love with them because you're not used to receiving that from men. Imagine calling a lifestyle that's responsible for that "empowerment".
Sidenote: Also calling a job "Vanilla" just because it's a job where no one can express wanting to grope you let alone do it?
The biggest influence that could come to an fds-er from reading this forum is take people who go to SW-ers are not like we imagine them. They are financial stable, good-looking, and well-spoken often.
And you know that they probably never admit to paying such services in real life because it still makes them look like losers, makes regular women unwilling to date them, and increases their chances of dying alone & without respect.
It makes my skin crawl to think men that are attractive and confident enough for casual dating and casual sex would rather pay to rape a woman (who most of the time would leave with the money without having sex with him if he told her she doesn't have to). Still not encouraging the former.
If you're an Fds-er and you browse the subreddit (I know you shouldn't), you feel the desire to go wgtow growing stronger and stronger. Well spoken, kind, attractive, confident, rich men will never truly admit what they do single or on the side.
I'd rather focus on earning so much money that I can live alone in comfort than wonder what kind of skeletons my husband who never gets nervous has in his closet.
Sidenote: if we could still use reddit, I am willing to bet so many posts on r/sexworkers would serve as proof or anecdotal evidence for the handbooks rules.
I am also angry that cis-men pay so much more respect to the rules on r/sewworkersonly and refuse to comment on that sub, while explicitly going against the rules on r/TwoXChromosomes and responding to all the questions women explicitly ask women while stating that they fully know it goes against the rules.
The comments read like trauma bonding. They’re dead on correct about men saying anything to get free sex.
Imagine the inherent power imbalance of a woman believing she’s in a non-transactional “real” relationship with one of her rapists, while he finally gains consistent, free sex from her plus her domestic labor.
I like the last response to OP, "ew, why?" That woman knows the clients are scum.
Who the hell would want a man who uses prostitutes?
How could you fall for one of your clients?! I just feel like any attractive man wouldn’t need to pay for sex let alone the other issues with this. Like I don’t go for ugly men. So I can’t imagine these women building a fantasy with these guys.
also, that one where she said she was with her client for free and then he ghosted her! I actually feel bad for her getting caught up in some pretty woman fantasy. But it’s an important lesson that most men will do the bare minimum until he gets sex
imagine bonding with one another over crushing on your "clients" and refusing to acknowledge the elephant in the room — the fact that you are giving your body to these trash men for "niceties".
this Is what terrified me as well. Just like libfems are calling normal-non abusive seggs vanilla.
Just reading this thread made me sick. Is this what Hel feels like
