What would it take for you to become a sex worker?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) August 25th, 2011

First off, I do not consider sex work to be problematic if chosen freely by an individual even if I can account for societal patterns that disproprotionately lead women down this path so let that contradiction rest here.

Secondly, this question isn’t about what kind of a desperate condition you’d have to be in order to try sex work but rather about what kind of an environment/society you’d have to be in order for you to try this profession out.

I’ve considered sex work previously but the fact that it’s illegal has stopped me because I have children and don’t need to have a record even if I think it should be legal. If I can also guarantee test results for my clients, that’d be another condition that would make it easier, etc.

I have many friends who are sex workers and often think about what my sex work would look like and whether it would involve technology (internet webcams, private chats, etc.). If you were a sex worker, would you work face to face, on the phone, on the internet, as an escort, in strip clubs, in sex clubs?
