Still selling pleasure in a world that pretends not to be buying

[Beverley]

Let’s face it — the sex industry is like that fabulous cousin everyone secretly admires but pretends not to know at family functions. The world loves pleasure but still blushes when someone mentions who’s providing it.

We live in an age where people post thirst traps at breakfast and preach self-love by lunch, yet say “sex work” and suddenly everyone turns into a buffering screen. The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast.

The truth? Sex work is as old as civilization but twice as adaptable. Today’s sex workers are CEOs, creators, and marketing geniuses — running businesses smoother than most startups. But society’s still running on morality software from the 1800s.

So yes, it’s still taboo — but only because people can’t admit what they’re really buying. The world doesn’t need to loosen up — it just needs to stop pretending it’s not already having fun.

Like what you just read? Hit follow — there’s plenty more sultry stories and seductive reads where that came from.

I love how you’ve put that, because it cuts right through the pretending without losing compassion.

Sex work has always been the easiest target for man-made morals. Not divine truth — just systems built by the powerful to keep their power, and to keep everyone else in line. Religion. Politics. Institutions that wag their fingers in public, then quietly book rooms in private. The irony, of course, is that the people writing the rules are very rarely the ones who have to choose between rent, food, and selling their time or their body. Yet they’ll shame the people doing what they must to survive… while not exactly being strangers to the services themselves.

But if you strip the judgement away and just look at it clearly, all forms of work are transactional. You trade time, energy, skill, or presence for money. Some jobs heal, some harm. Some uplift, some exploit. That’s true in mining, in banking, in law, in politics… and in sex work. What makes it humane or harmful isn’t the category of work, it’s the intention behind it and the way people treat each other inside it. Respect, consent, fairness, honesty — those are spiritual values, not marketing slogans. When those are present, a booking can be kinder and more honest than a lot of “respectable” interactions out there. Maybe the real evolution isn’t to decide who’s pure and who’s dirty — it’s to ask, in any exchange: Are we both choosing this, and are we both walking away a little less alone?

Okay... Australia...

Main issues... Men see themselves as studs even geeks do that to some extend no man thinks he should or needs to pay *directly* for sex so therefore men don't say guess what I did last night. I blew 10K at Langtrees, but hey say you blew 10K over the road at Crown casino" and well you got an audience for a while, asking you what tables, an surely you must of been up at one time or another, but say you were up an escort and well same deal silence... its not the done thing...

The Flip side

Women the Sisterhood and modern day Feminists see sex work as degrading to women and being paid for sex by men all you have degraded yourself to is 3 holes for men to enjoy at will, and imagine sitting there at say a Dalkeith dinner party with say 20 women and you say guess what ladies I have just became a sex worker and gave my up my highly paid role in town, I will working as an escort and looking for other things to do on side... Imagine what the sistermhood would say?

Now Germany..

Men: A group of guys go out to a pub to watch a football match married/single etc, and the alpha type in the group says lets go to a FKK club the group all know what these are, ist a super brothel with upwards to 150 naked women walking around all night,. so hey paint the picture, they sall say yep lets go and get into ubers and go pay to get in and all go enjoy the night no biggie no moral issue, nio legal issue nothing just guys out enjoying the night.. no guilt either either the married ones... and yes that is how it works..

Women who escort in Germany pay to get in also, walk around naked and get paid for sex, during clients they sit around naked and talk to other ladies, no guilt no moral issue nothing at all, and a very high % of thise ladies there none escoting friends know what they do even the famliy they come from knows actually as she is paying for the family back home etc, so hey same degree no moral issue, ethic issues etc, laods of ladies are property investors, on onlyfans, work other jobs as mentioned by the OP..

The differences between how two areas/nations of the planet see this game is amazing, and these brothels in Germany can be not far from schools, playgrouds, apartment blocks, shopping malls, and churches, they are open 365 days of the year froim 10am to 4/5am depending on the day, men and women know what happens there and well just move on, and people can talk about this in social settings, and even at workplaces its no biggie as people who go there male clients and escorts females are all adults and everyione treats both sides as just that, ADULTS, there is no judgement nothing at all..

He is there for fun, she is there for work simple as...
