The Rise of Digital Prostitution

LSTW1234 · 2018-12-27T03:34:23+00:00

I wouldn’t do it but I think it’s a safer and smarter alternative for women (and men) who would otherwise do it in person.

Whores have made the world go round and kept it from descending into cock blocked chaos since time immemorial. They are an essential part of this weird cultural moment we have where sexual norms are in flux and people are adjusting.

Yes i happily date sex workers. Some A+ individuals in the hoe kingdom, some crazies too. And all points in between. These girls have sort of been my niche, serious dating wise, for almost a decade now. Have dated camgirls, escorts, sugarbabies, dancers, and one bona fide porn actress (we’re no longer partners but I’m going to the AVNs with her this January). I will happily have brief relationships with civilian types, but i can only grow life roots with someone who has a pragmatic, open minded take on sex and can compartmentalize different types of it. That doesn’t require being a sex worker at all, but it correlates highly with people who are often drawn to the sector. Also, i could never date someone without similar views bc too many of my friends are sex workers and/or exes.

In short, i can understand why other ppl wouldn’t want to date such folk, but i wish we made it easier legally to allow people who actually want to be in the sector to do it safely.

Digital prostitution? Try "girls streaming themselves doing everyday household things such as assembling ikea furniture and having legions of rabid fans drooling all over their monitors regardless." They don't even get naked for camera and their viewers still fall over each other to send them money or buy them gifts. Prostitution I understand! This, though...

It's a bad thing. Making something into a product, that used to be apart of personal relationships can't be a great thing. It's unchecked Capitalism in action.

darudeboysandstorm · 2018-12-27T03:25:44+00:00

Because we need a lot of money for things we want and we can make money off of something so many men want anyway. It's essentially running a small online business. I did it to pay off debt and survive while working two day jobs.

I was an online sex worker and my relationship was fine and I would have no issue dating someone like that. However, it is not for everyone.

TriadFamilyTimes · 2018-12-27T03:32:46+00:00

Online sex workers are fun and I wouldn't have a problem with my girlfriend doing it so long as it was anonymous. No like snapchat throughout the day out doing things and riskier shit some of the single ones engage in sometimes. I'd prefer no one be able to find our physical address.

I think the acceptance of sex work in this online form has lead to people being more open about sexwork in general and alot of the stigma has been taken away. It's one of the few ways younger people sometimes have ways to get large amounts of money from older people that actually can value your time more than lots of random jobs you can get. And if there's one thing the younger generations value it's our time.

whichbladeN · 2018-12-27T03:34:16+00:00

I wonder if more people are doing this kinda thing now than would've done so before the internet.

Like, what would someone selling nude photos online today have done if there was no internet? Would she have not done any kind of sex work? Would she have become a stripper, or gone straight to prostitution?

Pastelitomaracucho · 2018-12-27T07:22:19+00:00

Whatever. Societal trends that arise I we can't do much about.

I wouldn't date a sex worker myself.

couldbemage · 2018-12-27T03:16:07+00:00

Dated online sex workers and done it myself. No big deal. It was fun.

3vilg0d · 2018-12-27T03:26:30+00:00

The only thing that I am comfortable with is using the services. It's kind of waste to not use cost efficient means of relief.

I do think it has a positive effect on society. Especially Men, It provide cost efficient method for pleasure and relieving urges. Prostitution is oldest profession in human civilization, it's just adopting to market changes.

I think a lot depends on what sort of sex work it is. I mean I'd be just fine with someone who writes romance novels, then it is all downhill from that point.

KikiYuyu · 2018-12-27T04:53:04+00:00

It makes me extremely uncomfortable. I find sex work in general to be pretty gross tbh. Whether or not it's good or bad... I dunno. Not everyone's me so maybe it'll have a weird benefit I can't imagine.

_Neon_Shadow_ · 2018-12-27T05:08:38+00:00

I'm going to try to keep this as short and simple as possible to prevent from going into rambling as I've re-edited this comment 5 times.

Good:

Gives people an outlet who believe they cannot get laid.

Is a resource for men who wish to avoid interacting with women in social situations.

I believe it gives men more liberation in their sexual pursuits. (Red pillers will understand what I'm talking about when it comes to feminism's impact)

Bad:

Society continues to drift away from the emotional connection sex has when constricted to LTR's.

Makes sexual interaction dangerous as people involved in this are often with others they may know little or nothing about so safety is a concern.

STD's involved in such things as pornography, prostitution, and escorting continue to rise.

Taking dangerous sexual risks and participating in sometimes unsafe encounters is associated with certain mental disorders so there's a chance the average psychological health of people goes down in the future.

The value of romantic, committed relationships goes down which is essential for maintaining birth rates and raising successful children in 2 parent homes which is needed.

I ultimately wouldn't date someone who does or did sex work and I'll never do any sex work. My final conclusion is that this is a slight negative but a necessary evil in today's tough times between men and women not seeing eye to eye.

KeyAssumption · 2018-12-27T05:16:33+00:00

It's the best way to make money for women when they're young. The smartest ones are those who don't even need to have sex with the clients. Kudos to them.

testpostignorepls · 2018-12-27T09:02:59+00:00

If I could cam-whore myself anonymously for a shit ton of money, who the fuck wouldn't?

There are real human desires driving this and sex isn't that special in today's day and age, and I'm fine with that. Look at all those beautiful girls on chaturbate. I never pay but man I busted so much nuts to some of them.

Willow-girl · 2018-12-27T11:21:30+00:00

It only makes sense that the world's oldest profession would adopt to the digital age. Remember VHS beat Betamax because VHS allowed porn. Bluray beat HD-DVD because Bluray allowed porn. Digital cameras were selling fast and developed quickly due to high demand from porn producers. Same with HD and 4K. And now we have competing standards for digital video (VP9, H.265, etc) porn is driving that too.

The sex industry is not only a primarily early adopter of new technology but the standard they utilise is the standard that thrives.

So it would surprise me more if escorts were not using the internet. For legal reasons it's not much of a thing in the US but here in the UK (and other countries around the world) Adultwork is a big deal and is essentially eBay for hookers.

It's a good platform for the workers as it allows them to work independently and provides safety features - the users contacting you can be vetted through the site, like how Uber drivers can see your rating.

You also can't sign up to be an escort on there without showing a form of valid ID, so this ensures everyone on there is of age.

Having a framework like that for this type of business makes it safer for all involved and can only be a good thing. Certainly far superior to standing on a street corner.

neuk_mijn_oogkas · 2018-12-27T11:41:38+00:00

Would you be comfortable doing sex

Yeah

or dating someone who did it

Yeah

Do you think this increase is a good or bad thing? Will it positively or negatively affect relationships and society in the future?

I want to see a society that takes the social aspect out of sex so yeah. I think it's good it's treated like a product.

welcometothejl · 2018-12-27T12:35:48+00:00

To me, women have already been monetizing sex indirectly, so not much changes by monitizing it directly. I personally believe men and women are equal but different. Where men have an advantage in physicality, women have an advantage in sexuality overall. If society acknowledges sex work as legitimate work, people would be more likely to date them. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me personally, but it would factor negatively into an equation of things I would consider about a person before dating them. I would probably date much less anyway if there was legal, safe, prostitution, and that's where you'd see societal changes. For guys who got taken to the cleaners in a divorce, paying a couple hundred bucks up front for sex seems a lot less risky than a few hundred thousand for years of lousy sex.

Willow-girl · 2018-12-27T12:57:24+00:00

Male thirst knows no ends, lol.

Unconfidence · 2018-12-27T13:29:52+00:00

As long as all parties involved give informed and continual consent, I don't see where there would be a problem.

I wouldn't have a problem dating someone who did this in their past. I think the increase is a generally good thing but is kind of mixed in that it shows a large amount of unaddressed sexuality in men. I think in the future we'll be better off for having opened these doors.

[deleted] · 2018-12-27T16:33:43+00:00

Would never ever date a girl who did that, but it's a decision they're free to make

darudeboysandstorm · 2018-12-27T16:52:39+00:00

I have already dated two girls who did some form of this be it camming or other means. Would I do it again? probably not. Would I change what I did? Definitely not those were good times.

I have a career now, I don't really have a need, and I am not much into exhibitionism.

Of all the cammers I have met/ or dated, I would only consider one real long term "shipable" and I still would prefer a none cammer.

cxj · 2018-12-27T21:05:50+00:00

Can’t say I blame young women with student debt and/or poor employment opportunities. Yes they could be welders but we all know that’s unrealistic to expect of women.

One thing lots of redditors including ppd lack understanding of is the soul crushing nature of working 13$/hr jobs for years and decades on end. People need to read more Bukowski.

Xemnas81 · 2018-12-28T01:59:54+00:00

I support it on liberal grounds and there's a part of me which rejects it on sour grapes. A friend of mine lost his V to a sex worker so wanting them all audited would be a wee hypocritical.

[deleted] · 2018-12-28T20:00:50+00:00

The demand is high and the supply is low. Enough young women have been desensitized to various sex acts to the point where this is becoming a sustainable career.

And the market is nowhere near flooded.

Some of the guys who pay are just looking for a different way to have a good time, but most of them are socially inpet men for whom, short of paying a hooker, this is the only way they can see a live woman indulge SOME SORT WHATSOEVER of erotic fantasy of theirs (most of which are very tame, given these guys get laid maybe once a year at best).

EDIT: for clarity.

[deleted] · 2018-12-28T21:35:06+00:00

My only issue with modern digital sex work is that it creates & feeds false fetishes where none exist.
Fetishes are generally things reserved for people who want to explore something fresh and new.

Modern sex work is mostly based on exploiting the thirst of virgin & near-virgin men under the guise of a legitimate fetish.
How in hell can a guy who sees pussy live at most once a year can come to the conclusion he's got a "financial slave" fetish?
Much more likely it's just the only kind of sexual release available to / allowed for him.
It's a lot like selling water by the cup (for $700 a cup) to people who can't get any water otherwise.
And it turns out the water is stale / tainted and bad for the health.
Sure it quenches thirst in the short term, but it makes one sick if they drink too much of it.

NoGodsNoLabels · 2018-12-29T00:29:26+00:00

I'm okay with women objectifying themselves.

Wouldn't date an object tho.

waxedmintfloss · 2018-12-29T08:24:16+00:00

I do it. I think it has a net positive effect on society because it provides outlets for people’s needs. I don’t agree with everything that’s resulted from the “sexual revolution “ but now that it’s happened we should take it all the way in lessening stigma against sexually liberal women.

peterlongc · 2018-12-27T05:22:23+00:00

They better get it while they can because computer generated VR babes will be impossibly more desirable in 3 .. 2....

DaphneDK42 · 2018-12-27T03:26:19+00:00

A whore by any other name would smell as sweet. I'd date an ex-whore - but it carries a substantial market value down-write.
