hypothetically

you didn’t answer my question. Is this @Mocha?

....wait. Is this @Mocha?

Hiring history. ED/Performance anxiety.

I never said they were the largest marginalized group. I was implying marginalized groups that do sex work. Even then that does not mean “largest.” Don’t put words in my mouth please. I’m just going to have to disagree with you on this one. “Sorry.”

“.......ok.”

Send this to marginalized sex workers you know who are struggling right now and circle back to me with their reactions.

Minimum wage workers can file for unemployment. Minimum wage workers qualify for a stimulus check. Writing a resume IS simple, but point escorts in the direction of the slew of companies who will be hiring soon. Come on. What about all of the escorts, many of which are undocumented who have not filed taxes? I’m unsure how you’re trying to counter argue when I hear the struggles of my sex worker friends daily, many of which have not a single solution at hand when all many of you have to do is file for unemployment and ride this out, whether you’re making minimum wage or not. You’ve been furloughed? Tough shit, you and the entire nation. Some escorts have absolutely nothing rn. I am extremely grateful to not be in this position and my heart goes out to everyone during these trying times but “the struggle” isn’t quite the same.

you’re still butthurt about the “staying in shape” thing huh? Sorry to hear. you are correct, but the topic at hand is SEX WORK, and I feel this message is substantially more important for those in THIS business (specifically those who have been doing it awhile). There is a difference between being exhausted saying, idk, waiting tables or teaching children, to survive, in contrast to having to fuck to survive. Apples to oranges champ. Additionally those who do it many years full time have no resume. I’m sure you have a resume in the event you wanted to part ways with your current career. If you want to start “How is Covid affecting your business” (the blue/white collar version) in The Lounge, by all means. But this is “Ask An Escort” and we are discussing the logistics of sex work and Covid. Be safe, wash your hands.

Per the conversations I’ve had with a couple of FTM sex workers abroad, sadly, they have not garnered a ton of traction in the business. It’s a very niche market, still considered “taboo,” and as you can imagine, a ton of stigma associated with being female-to-male and working in a predominately cis-male industry. It’s also a question of whether they should be on a site for cis men looking for cis men or on a trans-friendly site, and I don’t anticipate men want to fish through a slew of ads of trans women to find a trans man. There are apps like Transdr but primarily for dating, not hiring.

Covid is a not-so-gentle reminder that everyone in the business should have an exit strategy and/or backup plan. Because there’s nothing more worrisome than being stuck in the business or having no viable options when you exit the business.

To my bedroom, where this is a laptop and bottle of Swiss Navy.

While misleading, "available now" doesn't always mean an escort is ready to teleport to your home. "Available now" = visibility, and what escort doesn't want to be seen knowing that everyone is at home twiddling their thumbs (and hopefully) garnering a huge "wishlist" for when this is over. He's calculated and smart.

Unless you have physical limitations that prevent you from doing one or the other, it’s all mental.

Indeed it was. And I haven’t been in “the business” since before all of this began. I am, however, in health and wellness. If you “look like shit” after all of this, it’s a choice you made lol. The topic is "how will you stay in shape," not "how will you remain lazy."

whoa whoa whoa, that’s more ambitious a statement than saying this will all pass within the next month. Many of us are still training. Not “everyone” is choosing to be sedentary while in confinement. Some Pull up bars and resistance bands are on back order because of the surge of purchases following the stay at home orders.

Per the copious questions about whether one should still be hiring in a climate where literally someone is dying every 9.5 minutes in cities like NYC. I'm afraid it's looking like natural selection is going to do what natural selection is suppose to do here on this forum.

LOL, stop.

Escorting isn’t exactly that...peachy keen, but if you feel the aforementioned things outweigh the cons, and you’ve been able to “enjoy” your lengthy tenure, good for you. It’s a...calling, for some lol.

k, just be sure to wash your hands after looking at all those big graphs, lol. (I think absolutely nothing of you, boomer, your comment, however). Be safe.

“but let’s talk facts:” many things kill young people (and old) at a much more staggering rate than Covid-19, but I’m not about to play chart solitaire with you. you can send me all the powerpoints and charts in the world, brava, I’m not saying I disagree with any points you made but...”grain of salt,” the situation in the U.S. has not reached its peak. 40% of the infections occurring here in New York are men 18-40. While my bet isn’t that young people are going to start dropping like flies, there is still a risk, period. I still stand by your comment being irresponsible, as young people need to be vigilante also. There is always copious room for “plot twists” in situations like these.

@Tarte Gogo ..exactly.

The bulk of those who are hiring are not “young & healthy” @Tarte Gogo.. While the chances of someone younger becoming fatally ill from Covid are substantially lower than those 40-50+, there have been cases reported of young people dying with no underlying health conditions. I think it is irresponsible to say if you are “young and healthy” you are not putting yourself at risk. Just because the chances of me getting fatally ill are lower (allegedly), that doesn’t mean I’m going to welcome a virus to ravage my body and maybe pull through. Define a “healthy” 30-something, that’s relative.

I think he’s just trolling, tbh.

Yes, Mount Sinai is available if you suspect you’ve got Covid.
