Yes. Years ago I was also involved in this. Like dark web bitcoin come-to-the-apartment-to-fuck sort of things. This is such a drastically different experience than what most people, even those who ID as “sex workers”, think of, which is doing camming or onlyfans et al. Having this conversation with any of them is exhausting and I’ve given up. It may go without saying but I didn’t get into it willingly and I wouldn’t go back into it willingly and I don’t think anyone would if they were seriously given a choice that wasn’t “do this or starve”. I wish I had the eloquence and apparent patience you display here but I am so tired of arguing it. They want to “hear from sex workers” until one of them says “yeah this sucks and is bad”.
