Sex Work as Life Purpose?

[Nate]

OK. This is just hypothetical. Is it possible for someone to be passionate about this stuff? Doesn’t have to be porn specifically. I’d say MOST are in it purely for the $$$ but I wonder if there’s someone out there who is genuinely fulfilled by pursuing this kind of work. Thoughts on this? ?

[Ulax]

Probably tbf.

I mean you could be a sex worker and see it as a means of connecting with and relating to folk from lonely demographics of society.

When I see all the single women around sometimes I think I'd enjoy being a male prostitute if I got too pick all my clients Haha

You do get to discriminate your clients, sex work is an unregulated industry. It will just hurt your business though and your volume.

@Raptorsin7 lmao drop me a msg if you ever see a job posting like that

I played with the idea of becoming a male stripper. I couldn’t see myself being insecure about anything anymore if I did that for a few years.

I think a life purpose could be inspired by sexuality, but I doubt it'd manifest as pornography or prostitution. Adyashanti sometimes asks students to teach: Myoku focuses on sacred sexuality.

If you're a nympho and masturbate 5+ times a day you might as well do it on stream and get paid for it I guess.

For guys I don't think there's much opportunity. Omegle is filled with all the free live dicks anyone could want. And most women don't want to get off to just pure visuals. But there seems to be no saturation point to OnlyFans or streams for women.

For male prostitutes I believe the vast majority are "gay for pay" and not a ton of female clients. Same problem, women can just go to a bar and pick pretty much any guy to have sex with for free, so why pay for it.

If I was a female I feel like I would strongly consider it. Not as a life purpose, but just as an easy way to make money for 5 - 10 years and ultimately use that for my life purpose. Kinda like how Amouranth is doing OF mainly to fund her dream of running an animal rescue eventually.

I guess sexuality can also manifest itself through art like music, videos, paintings, etc. It probably wouldn’t be considered sex work at that point.

The simple answer - no. 

I'm tired of how people constantly elevate sex to something Godly. 

It's just pleasure. Biological pleasure and sometimes emotional pleasure because it helps people bond. 

Sex = comfort eating

@Lila9 You could do only fans. I think if you need money it's a pretty good alternative to traditional sex work.

It's funny you say that. I stumbled across a video explaining the different types of orgasms a guy could actually have. He compared prostate orgasms to states you can reach on psychedelics. Not comparing this to sex work or anything but I thought that was pretty interesting.

I have considered it before and I still think about it when I feel frustrated by my low income job and by my chances to ever improve my financial state as someone who came from an extremely poor family.

But I probably will never do that because I don't want to spend my time as a masturbation tool for lonely men. I also don't care about lonely and horny men that much. There are other things that I care more about and given that we all have one life, I want to do better things, even if they won't improve my finances.

You'd be surprised how far you can go without exposing yourself too much. I know someone who's literally escaped wage slavery and she shows nothing more than a bikini does.

it is fraught with risk that you morph into a hating bitter twisted unbalanced deeply injured money grabbing prima donna

making deals with the devil doesn't end well no matter how open eyed and worldly wise you are ... you encounter society's worst and you will not be immune to its contamination

[Applegarden8]

I don't know. I talked with one very experienced mistress, she told that you can.

That's fair, I would be hesitant to do sex work too unless i had no good alternatives.

I think something like OF is between modelling and traditional sex work. And if we're working normal jobs, we are all slaves in a very real sense. Even though I think it's a decent alternative, I think most guys would be very turned off by their partner doing OF so there's that element too

[Nilsi]

This is an interesting conversation about having sex work as your life purpose. Also - why not? If you are creative and conscious about this, I think it can be an amazing life purpose.

 

 

[Nate]

@Nilsi  Wow, that was really quite eye-opening. This is exactly what I was talking about!!

I was starting to fall into the idea that there wasn't any real connection to a higher purpose through this work, but that conversation really dismantled that belief. Thank you for sharing this

I considered it at some desperate moments in my life and came to the conclusion that I prefer to clean toilets for the rest of my life (or doing any low wage job) rather than having OF or doing SW. I might sound primitive but I don't feel like it's natural for me to share my body with strangers no matter how much money is involved. I would feel like I'm betraying myself and I can't live with that. 

I'm sure that some women see it as a decent way to earn money and it's somehow connecting with their personality and lifestyle or with some psychological trauma that they are trying unconsciously to heal by doing that. I'm sure there are men who specifically attracted to this kind of women, but I'm not sure they are the healthiest ones.

I think that's a wise attitude to hold. It's also a bad idea to jump on a bandwagon that by now might make it difficult for you to compete in the first place. You run the risk of no reward while compromising some of your core values.

 

I also feel like people just don't realize the potential there is in this kind of market. OnlyFans is like the fast food of porn, you could easily pioneer some more sophisticated form of "sex-entertainment", that might not even necessitate compromising yourself in the way that you might feel is betraying yourself. But it would most likely involve more work than just taking pictures of yourself and uploading them.

In my view, to not live a miserable life, your work has to be more than just effortless money generation. It has to involve creativity, artistry, vision, passion and love.

People do not even understand what they are missing, because of the developmental stage we are at currently. Everything you see in sex-entertainment is stage orange, the McDonald's of sexuality. Everything is reduced to pure sexual pleasure. But to those who are more developed, a sexual experience is so much more than just this narrow spectrum of emotion we have reduced it to in the 21st century.

It really is like fast food, people's palates are so desensitized, so overstimulated, that if you gave them a meal prepared by a world class cook, they would call it bland.

 

There is a growing market in "audio erotica" for example, and I do feel it is atleast somewhat less degrading than things like OnlyFans. I would imagine, atleast if one has a passion and joy for the production of such things, that it is more fullfilling than doing something where everything is basically just centered around visual stimulation. And of course a more conscious person could probably nudge their own product in the direction that they would want to, rather than playing into the sexual reductionism we are observing everywhere.
