how not to burn out in the sex industry

[Dakota Cameron]

Admit you are burnt out - don't be afraid to admit if your feeling the burn.

Take breaks and vacations - a good thing to save money for is a holiday.

Spend time alone - this gives us room to think about things in great detail - i have learnt to enjoy my own company.

Get in touch with how you feel about things and express them if you need to as it's not healthy to repress emotions.

See a councillor or therapist - this can help you put things into perspective again

Take good care of your body - lots of sleep, exercise and a good massage can do wonders for how your body is feeling.

Take time out to get your mind off sex work - doing some kind of class eg. cooking, yoga, watching a certain TV series. This way you are not constantly thinking about work which leads to feeling refreshed next shift.

Be willing to make less money - don't work every single day/night if you do this full time - take days off to make time for the other activities in your life - there is plenty of money to go around

Take regular breaks from sex - you don't have to be sexy all the time. Put on some trackies and veg out on the couch

Take care of yourselves and your bodies

Not in the sex industry but burnt out. Maybe we need a burnt out anonymous support group for everyone who is burnt out to a crisp.

Just like life...time for breathing in (time on your own, relaxation), time for breathing out (working, being with people, etc).

Excellent advice... But what's sleep again?

Use lube or some sort of coolant. Stops burning out and eases friction.
