I’m friends with sex workers who give comfort just like this. Some of them don’t even have sex on their menus, just physical touch, companionship, and listening. They say it’s exhausting, perhaps even moreso than sex, but the pay is good. There’s boundary issues to watch out for.
🤔
Just sashaying up to the counter, “a number nine combo and a medium sex.”
"Sorry, we're all out of sex. How about a hotly contested disagreement followed by rapprochement and eventually a blossoming mutual respect and admiration over the course of several months?"
Does it come with a side of friendship?
Probably 🤷
What kind of dipping sauce?
Wait there are 12 days of Christmas, you switched back way too soon you heathen!
You don't want to know..
That’s literally why I asked though.
I'm afraid that information isn't publicly available.
Could I get it privately
That's what she said
Doesn't sound too bad
I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
"Did you want fries with that?"
Wanna round up for the tatas for tots foundation?
How much for a "hug n tug"?
Unironical, it kind of works like that. There are usual combos, and straying off from them costs extra.
Wait till you find out about Cam girls
really? what do you think i will discover when i find out?
Sex workers that dont have sex on the menu
if you don't have sex on a menu, you are not a sex worker, that is literally definition of the word.
similar to when you don't do politics, you are not a politician and when you don't work in a field of medicine with a medical degree, you are not a medical doctor.
also sex does not necessarily mean "sex with you" or "vaginal penetration".
with that being said, here is handful guide to "cam people" for you:
hope that helps.
What about a girl who says "lol gimme money cause im soooo hawwwwt" but doesnt get naked
It's really not that surprising and I'd wager that non-intercourse sex work is vastly more common than the other
That sounds like therapy with touching and without the responsibility. Probably not a bad job.
Yeah but without the years of training on how to manage and help people's emotional problems.
and the years of training on compartmentalizing work and personal life.
True. Not a job for me anyway, people are just... ugh.
*to work with
With therapy you are a professional who is understood and respected as a professional. With sex work you are understood as a societal problem and being outed as having done sex work can harm other future career prospects.
Yes, everyone here understood that already
I used to know a gal who did SW at night, though at the time I wasn't aware of her occupation. She'd regularly hang out with my buddy and I. One day he was complaining about his back and she offered him a massage, then offered me one as well as I'd been known to have a bad shoulder While it wasn't the absolute best massage I'd had, it was up there above most places covered by my medical.
I could 100% see people paying for company and a non-sexual contact from somebody like that. She was good with people and had a sense for now to relax people physically and emotionally.
Yea this is known thing. Sex can be part of it but it’s not really all that important for this kind of thing. Those men (and sometimes women) are so desperate for intimacy they will literally pay for it.
It’s the macho way of going to therapy.
Are they still called sex workers, then? I mean, your comment is kind of telling, as it is a bit confusing.
Yes. "Sex workers" is the terminology in English. Some people who offer no sex and get registered by the state are professional cuddlers though.
