Bitches with degrees also get two days off a week.

Well sure but a decent, independent escort in a city is easily pulling in $200-$500 per client, seeing more than one client per day, and getting paid in cash. There are some expenses to account for but it's pretty feasible to net six figures over the course of a year working just 5 days a week... or so I've heard.

Most SWers get paid per hour, not per client, and that ranges depending on the city, generally $500/hr on average for full service. Most are not high volume (danger goes up from both clients and authorities, which is why high volume tends to not be as intimate and tends to be in a building for that purpose, eg happy ending massages, bunny ranches. Or high volume tends to be strippers who can find clients quickly and easily). Most tend to see men mostly on weekends (demand). Even so, it's still lucrative, can be a good side hustle, and gives you a lot of free time.

There are other payment structures as well. I am a Dominatrix, so how I personally structure my payments are a little different and my relationships with my subs are a little different (nonsexual sex work). I'm extremely low volume, I require ongoing relationships (no one and done), I take on 1-3 subs at maximum. Because I do this, I have very high payment thresholds, which are not hourly but instead usually weekly or monthly and usually include extras like gifts, travel, apartments, etc. I also get a small amount of money through the porn/nudes I make, which are really just advertising for my Dominatrix business (I honestly do not enjoy taking nudes at all, it's not very fun for me).

I partially do this payment structure because of the special relationship of a Domme/sub and things like sub drop, where I may need to be "on call" and available for my subs. BDSM is trauma work, I am confident about that, and subs can be triggered and may need extra assistance afterwards. I do not think it's ethical to do the kind of trauma work that is required in BDSM and then retraumatize them by repeating patterns of neglect and abuse. The healing part of BDSM is that the nightmare ends and gets addressed, or is transformed in some way.

I have a pretty good life. I get to travel all over and I get to do everything I want to do. I have a ton of free time as well. I don't think I'd enjoy being a different type of SWer but I do love being a Dominatrix a LOT. Something about telling a millionaire he's a pathetic baby unfit to lick my feet while he's groveling on his floor in a maid dresss really does it for me 🤌

True. But the original post was bragging about working 365 days per year.

I'm not surprised prostitutes don't get off at work.

So it's more of a side hustle.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

Let's just if it's one guy a day. And that already puts you above minimum wage.

Make this a full-time job, get eight guys in a day. $292,000 a year. And you still weren't even be working all day!

At those numbers that's not a side gig, that's just a full career with early retirement depending on lifestyle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'd let dudes bang me for $100 a day, and I'm not even gay. Realistically, how long we talking per session? 5 minutes if they're lucky?

Why not just let 7 dudes a day do it for 100 a pop. $700 for 35 minutes of "work" with 6 days to let my bum hole recover.

Maybe double down a few times before holidays for some extra spending money.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well… ya know… std’s and what not…

If it’s a numbers game, how many loads can you take before being exposed to something with life-long consequences, statistically speaking?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

STDs, protection against being raped, kidnapped/trafficked, or murdered, the travel time and cleanup between clients unless you're in-house, and in that case the cost of maintaining a safe and comfortable space, and finally the side effort you have to work on to maintain a body / appearance that people actually want to fuck. I'm all for sex work being legal, but it should be regulated specifically to protect workers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How would regulation fix those things? Versus decriminalization?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The same way OSHA prevents workers from being expendable labor because of unsafe workplaces. I don’t want decriminalization. I want legalization. And I know OSHA doesn’t exactly fit the bill, but regulating sex work already exists in Nevada, and it’s much better for said workers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Well, we could just make a law requiring that sex workers own their own means of production and anyone who owns a sex worker's means of production is a human trafficker. But then the other workers in other industries might catch on that they are also being trafficked. Please note that this is what decriminalization does, as it is still illegal to be a pimp - so legalization actually allows for greater exploitation of sex workers by capitalists and banks.

How often a worker should be tested is between her and a doctor and perhaps a public health official. It should not be regulated by lawmakers who don't understand medicine anyway. There are already laws in place about communicating STI status between adults.

Then do it. There's nothing stopping you. Go do it. $100 is very cheap so you'll find customers.

Money is a benefit.

Just charge 1000. Too EZ.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

All the sex workers I've known (and dated) had degrees and day jobs that paid alright. Sex work was how they both paid for those degrees and paid for their nice houses and vacations.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

36.5k minus income tax. Unless you don't pay the IRS like the rich people, but that's illegal (if you are not rich).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

If you're rich enough to not pay income tax, your money isn't coming from being employed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Even the $365,000 level is not enough to not pay income tax.

What I gather from this is that he wants dumb bitches to charge $100 for sex, thinking that they're making 10x as much so they keep going it and he can keep getting laid.

Nobody should date, nor fuck, that person. Not even for $1000, and certainly not for $100.

But that's as good as ~60k in a job where you pay taxes

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I hope you pay an accountant to do your taxes, because that's way, way off.

If you earn $60k in a state like, NY, your take home amount will be $45,363

CA: $47,763

TX: $49,949

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

There are different countries with different taxes. And in some they can get close to 50%

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Marginal tax rate in California is about 50% for highest bracket (37% federal + 12.3% state).

But 60k is nowhere near that number of course (and effective tax rate is lower than marginal). I'd be surprised if there are any countries where income at ~4x poverty line (for an individual) would have anything near a 50% tax rate, but I could be wrong...

Out of curiosity, I looked up one of the highest taxed countries in the world: Finland.

$60,000usd = 54,133.80 Euro, with a take home of only € 31,447 (averaged tax rate of 41.9%, 53.2% on the marginal), which is $34,850usd

So, if Vampire@hexbear was thinking about Finland...

He gets a pass. (He wasn't, and OOP was using $, not €, but your point is otherwise valid!)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Start fucking a man every day for $100 and start working towards that $365,000.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Even if you only did it every 3 days that's still over one hundred thousand k

I mean, it doesn't take a degree to know 365 x 100 = 36,500 and not 365,000.

But I guess she isn't saying that you need a degree to know that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ya she's just clapping back

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

By sleeping and waking in 2 hour chunks, you'll have 12 days per day, giving you $1000 per day with two days off. Hustle mindset hashtag
