Hello members of r/SexWorkers!

It is I, your ever faithful mod Fullmetal, here with an announcement and some updates + housekeeping.

Some quick stats:

In the past 12 months, our community has grown by 71.2k members to 355k! Those members made 37.9k posts and a whopping 680k comments! Wowza. Thank you all for making this community what it is!

As we continue to grow, u/AussieMaleEscort and I have been discussing how we can improve the experience here + protect our community while also being able to provide sex workers with a safe space to seek advice, vent, and discuss the industry + our lives.

So, let's get into things.

Tryst AMA:

Earlier this week we hosted our first AMA. The team from Tryst.link joined us to answer questions and listen to feedback from sex workers and clients. Popular topics included wait times, site traffic, scammers, and category misuse - you can click here to read the questions and answers! Since our AMA and after receiving strong feedback from the community at large, Tryst has updated their Available Now feature to give tiered members more frequent bumps.

For members who participated, thank you! For the most part, all the rules were followed, and it enabled us to have a diverse range of questions responded to. We are open to hosting more AMAs in the future with other ad platforms and with sex work orgs. If you are a representative for a platform / org and would like to do an AMA, please get in touch.

Updates:

Rules / Removals - The text of the subreddit rules + our automated removal responses are being updated to offer more clarity and to better assist users who are looking for specific information. Please read them as we do have rules that are an automatic one-strike ban (Rule 2, Rule 14).

Post Flairs - We have added additional post flairs! Please use them, they help with the organization of the subreddit. If you believe we are missing any, let us know in the comments. Thus far, we have:

  • Question - Sex Worker: this is for questions from sex workers
  • Question - Client: this is for questions from clients
  • Question - Civilian: this is for questions from individuals who are neither sex workers nor clients
  • Warning: this is for safety warnings - stings, laws, scams, etc.
  • Vent Post - SW - Support Only
  • Vent Post - SW- Advice Needed

General Admin

"Where is my post / why can't I post?" - Due to the high volume of trolling, harassment, and spam this community receives, posts and comments from low karma users are held for manual review and approval. Similarly, due to a high volume of submissions that violate Rules 1, 2, 3, 4...well, you get it, images, links, and crossposts may also be held for manual review. This can result in a delay between submission and approval. Please do not double (or triple for some of you) post or send a modmail asking where your post is - we will get to it.

Using the search bar - Per Rule 9, we ask that you use the search bar prior to writing a post / asking a question. When you do this, please search posts AND comments, and try several variations in key words / phrases. For example, "first time", "virgin", "inexperienced", and "newbie".

"How do I modmail?" - On desktop: In the sidebar under "Moderators" click "Message Mods". On the Reddit app, click "..." then click "Message moderators".

"I never got a message!" - Reddit recently made updates to messages and combined them with chat, you can now access your messages from the chat feature. To access older, archived messages:

https://www.reddit.com/message/messages

Tryst Support: Tryst now has a dedicated account here to receive your customer support requests! Please chat: u/Tryst_Support.

Community Input + Wiki:

This is the most important section of this post. Members, we need your assistance.

One of the things Aussie and I believe would maximize the usefulness of this community, for sex workers AND for clients and visiting civilians, is to fully flesh out our Wiki.

Topics we are seeking information on:

  • Popular advertising sites and (if applicable) review sites by country. Our current list can be found in the wiki. This particularly applies to non-US countries.
  • Safe Provider Guide Updates - we would like to expand it to include other countries + feel it is time for a refresh so we can interlink it with other planned sections of the Wiki (common scams, popular sites, etc).
  • Resources for online workers, such as lists of NSFW advertising subreddits, getting started guides, more information about PSO, item selling, etc.
  • Sex Worker Orgs + useful resources ie SWOP, Pineapple Support, r/auntienetwork - if you have resources you believe should be kept private, please reach out via modmail, as we can include them for r/SexWorkersOnly
  • Frequently Asked Questions - which questions do you feel you see too often in this community?

Once we have fleshed out these prioritized sections, we intend to continue expanding the wiki! Please continue to check back as we add more to it!

That about wraps things up. Thanks for reading, looking forward to seeing your contributions to make this community even better!

How to Find a Safe Provider NSFW

3.0k Upvotes

Long Post Warning

We've been getting a ton of posts recently asking how to find a safe provider, how to properly approach one, how to avoid scams, etc. even though it's against the sub rules. So I'm making this post to hopefully stifle the constant flow of the same question.

This post will be dedicated to just that. It will simply be a general overview so keep in mind the process can vary by many factors, as well as differ by location and country. Since I'm from the US, it will mostly be relevant to the States.

As well, this is just advice and in no way am I guaranteeing results. In the end, it will be your decision on who to see and what risks to take.

Feel free to add on to the information in the comments while keeping it civil and respectful - I don't want to have to lock the thread.

1. LOOK AT ADS ON REPUTABLE WEBSITES

• Suggested popular websites: Tryst, Eros, Private Delights, Slixa, Preferred411 (must be a paid and verified member to access)

• Some areas may have location specific review boards or websites that are only popular in a certain state or country. Use Google to find sites only popular in your area.

• Do NOT initially look for providers on Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Onlyfans, Kik, Whisper, Reddit, etc. These are not websites used for such a thing and are hot beds for scams.

2. CHOOSING AND RESEARCHING A PROVIDER

• Yes, you will have to take some time to do some research and not go in blindly - no research is the best way to get in bad situations. Research honestly takes maybe 20 minutes.

• Types of ads to stay away from (or proceed with caution if you decide to contact them): - extremely explicit ads - ads with vulgar/xxx photos - brand new ads that were recently created within the last week

• Do look for providers that: - Have ad posting history on multiple websites, and have ads that are at the very least a few weeks old. The longer the ad posting history, the better. Consistent ad posting frequency is a great indicator of a real provider. - Have an active social media presence (Twitter is most common, followed by Instagram and Onlyfans). - Have a personal website with their rates and booking process laid out. - HAVE A SCREENING PROCESS: It is common practice that escorts screen their clients - it's for their safety which in turn is for client safety. Screening means the escort is safe and they don't just see anyone blindly. Would you expect us to feel safe meeting a total stranger off the internet without even knowing what they look like or their name? Screening does not mean they are scammers or law enforcement, and the truth is that undercover law enforcement do not screen clients. Screening is an obstacle, a hurdle, and vice do not want hurdles when they are making an arrest. They want you to come ASAP and wam bam, thank you mam easy arrest. As well, as long as the provider is established we are not interested in your specific information after we have verified you are safe - no established provider is interested in blackmail or anything like that. We make more money off being a reputable provider with regulars, and if word gets out about a known provider blackmailing it would ruin their business. So if you see someone who screens, you will have to provide your personal information in the form of an ID, work verification, or give references to other escorts you have seen before.

All of these taken together - ad frequency and history, social media, personal website, having a screening process, and reviews (more on this below) - these are like the escort's resume showing we are experienced and real, and these characteristics are how clients "screen" us back.

I will make a special note that yes, not all providers screen for various reasons. If a client wants to see someone who doesn't screen, it doesn't automatically mean they aren't safe. But make sure they at least have ad posting history and frequency and proceed with caution.

Lack of any type of online presence coupled with no screening is a red flag, do not proceed. Not all providers will have or want social media - so again make sure they at least have ad posting history and frequency.

• Additional steps you can take:

  • Google the providers phone number to see all the ad websites they post on.

  • Google their phone number as well to see if they have reviews (note: not all providers want nor allow reviews so don't base your final decision on reviews or lack of reviews. Also, reviews can be fairly easily faked or inaccurate so please do not put your faith in only reviews).

  • Reverse image search the ad pictures to make sure they are unique and not stock photos or ripped off from some Instagram model.

  • BE WARY OF ADS THAT HAVE EXTREMELY LOW DONATIONS (less than 200h)

3. HOW TO CONTACT A PROVIDER

• Pre-book an appointment as far ahead as possible. Some providers do not take same day appointments, and those that do usually require a few hours notice. We have lives and are often not available within the hour for new clients.

• Before contacting a provider, make sure to read their ad and website in its entirety

• Contacting a provider and asking something that is clearly on their ad or website is a great way to be ignored, blocked, or chewed out.

• Do NOT ask about specific services or talk explicitly, you are paying for time - again a great way to spook the provider and be blocked or blacklisted.

• Read their website for their booking and screening instructions, booking an appointment should take less than 10 messages

• If the provider requires screening, do NOT ask if you can bypass screening. Just find someone who doesn't screen or has a lighter screening process.

• If they require a deposit, do not put down more than a 50% deposit. The average deposit is 20-50%, and if they have an online presence it is not a scam. Do not send 100% of the payment before meeting. As long as you have done your research on the provider, deposits are an indicator of a professional provider.

• Do NOT enter your card information into "verification sites". The provider will do the screening directly and you don't have to pay to be verified - this is a scam.

• Do NOT haggle donations - this is super disrespectful. If you can't afford the donation, find someone in your price range. There is an escort pretty much available in any price range.

• Do NOT text "hi" or "are you available" or "hey baby" as your 1st message to them!

• Don't contact multiple escorts at the same time, it's rude and wastes our time.

• Do NOT send dick pics or any explicit pics/videos. To be blunt - we don't care and it's incriminating. Providers may want a selfie as part of screening but literally just send a selfie only!

• Do NOT ask the provider to send "verification" pictures, its considered rude and a major time waster tactic. If you feel the need to ask someone to send verification pictures, then you haven't done enough research or you haven't found an established provider. Extra pictures not in the ads are often found on their social media, personal website, or onlyfans. If they don't have these things, offer to pay for a picture and don't expect it to be sent for free.

• If a provider has their face blurred, please do not ask for a face picture. There are plenty who are "face out" so if you need to see someone's face to book them, choose someone who already shows it.

• Many providers do not accept phone calls from new clients - they probably will state that on their ads if that's their policy but text or email is the recommended contact method

• A sample template for 1st contact:

"Hello, my name is John Smith, age 45. I found your ad on Tryst and would like to set up a date! I was hoping to meet on Tuesday May 7th at 6p for a 2h incall. My schedule is flexible as well. I have attached my screening details to this message (read their website for their requirements), please let me know if you need any further screening. I look forward to meeting you!"

• The more professional and polite you are, the quicker they will respond and set an appointment.

• If for some reason the provider doesn't reply, politely message again in a day or 2 to follow up. If still no reply, move on to the next provider.

4. DATE ETIQUETTE

• Once your date is set, read their ad or website again to see if they have any etiquette laid out about cleanliness, handling the donation, etc.

• Some providers require you to shower on arrival - please do not argue and just take a quick shower if required.

• Bringing a gift or tip is not required, however it is always appreciated and a great way to gain status as a good regular. Good regulars are usually given priority in the future.

• If you see someone from an agency, then 100% please do bring a tip in that situation!

• PLEASE show up clean and freshly washed

• Show up to the date on time

• Please do not ask the provider personal questions (ex: do you have kids, are you married, in school, etc). If they bring that information up themselves, then fine.

• Just relax, enjoy your time, and have fun!

Question - Sex Worker Virgin Clients? NSFW

5 Upvotes

Thinking about it now, I’ve most likely taken a clients virginity and haven’t even know, just considering how long I’ve been doing this, but tonight I had an inquiry from someone who was transparent about the fact that this would be his first time. I don’t get too sentimental about these things, but knowing he’s probably going to remember the encounter for the rest of his life makes me a little hesitant. Have any of you done this for someone?

I am feeling depressed right now. I only had made 4k so far this month after expense. I used to make over 10k. I’m sad and I feel like I just want to retire. This job is not worth it anymore. I just been doing it for a year and I have saved 100k. Maybe I should go back to my civie job. When I was doing my civie job, it pays a decent but I have not save any money. I was only able to save after doing sw. For those that retired, how are you all doing? Are you happy?

Question - Sex Worker Successful escort considering stripping at 30 NSFW

• Upvotes

Hiii ! So I’ve been in this industry for ten years. I started as escort, and mainly do that and have been wildly successful. I’ve also dabbled in professional porn and camming/of but my main income comes from outcalls. This past weekend I randomly got a gig doing bottle service and enjoyed my time. Most of the girls there were strippers or had stripped in the past, and were all super good at selling and dancing, two things I am NOT extremely talented at. But I had such a great time working that I have been considering trying out as a stripper for some extra cash on nights I don’t feel like fucking anybody. I’m very pretty and am extremely sensual person with a super bubbly personality. I can sway my hips and flip my hair but there is no chance I will ever learn how to twerk, and going around selling this weekend felt more like begging to me.. again I’m bubbly and chatty as all get out but I’m a bit blunt and awkward. I’ve been to strip clubs and the girls who work there are all super extroverted and have big personalities, as did the girls working with me this weekend. And while I did make money, I know for a fact that I definitely am more of an introvert unless I’m like drinking lol, I’m just so shy. With my business I only have experience marketing myself online, one on one conversations, and the actual sex part lmao.
For women who have stripped, do you think I have what it takes ? What would your advice to me be?

Its been a dry spell and getting worse for over a year. The last 4+ months i had barely any inquiries and no clients. It was awful. I could barely afford anything if not for my amazing brother helping me out. Lately I have been getting more inquiries and it finally led to a client. I was so nervous. I am like so out of practice but he kept saying how amazing I was at the end. It was painful at first cause i dont have sex outside of this but it wasnt terrible. It was only a small amount but its a start. Im hoping to eventually be back to doing overnights and multi hour visits and outcalls. Im very excited. Its only gonna get better from here🥳🥳😘🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️💰💰💰

Edit: JUST GOT ANOTHER ONE! It was amazing. He told me about his box ross boxers and showed me the white castle ones he was wearing 😂😂he is going to want an outcall eventually too😂and on top of that im still getting inquiries! Wtf is happening oh my god I AM SO BACK BABYYYYY

I was in the middle of creating my profile when my browser crashed and didn't save the passkey I had just created. I had already submitted my verification photos. I'm able to login, but not authenticate, which means I can't access my account at all.

Vent Post - Advice Needed venting: I hate the way some men on the SW forums talk about girls NSFW

86 Upvotes

Girls, I need to vent—I’m not sure if anyone else feels the same way… but am I the only one who finds the way some men talk about women on these SW forums online strange? I honestly find it a bit disturbing. I understand that they use these forums to share their experiences—and I know that can even be a good thing, as it helps us gain more clients—but sometimes I come across posts that actually make me cry. Clients tearing these women apart, completely destroying their self-esteem. I think it’s just awful and wrong… I don’t allow any man to write about me on those sites; I don’t care for the kind of people who frequent these forums, and I just don’t like that crowd! I don’t know if anyone else agrees, but I really think some of these guys cross the line…!

Earlier today I failed a FSSW client's health check and refunded him based on what I believe to be suspected syphilis. Out of all the reactions I expected, one of them wasn't for him to launch a personal attack, degrading me and making comments about my age. I've never had comments along these lines before and know that it's because he wasn't happy, but it's still surprising to me that he'd rather a booking with someone who's uncomfortable doing it, rather than be grateful she's looking out for his health 🥺🤗 Hugs needed

Recommendations for erotic massage parlours in Montreal NSFW

4 Upvotes

Hello, I have been a sex worker for 10+ years. I have worked in multiple countries and cities.
I have been in Montreal for about 6 months, and have done a ton of research but there is very little information online or even on Reddit. I also went to Stella and they said legally they can’t recommend places. Ive talked to other sex workers that I’ve met, but it’s hard to meet other workers. People are very secretive here. I’ve interviewed at 8 places and worked at 6 of them. I’ve had so many horrible experiences,and I’m at my wits end. I am broke and struggling very hard in this city. All I’m asking is for other people who have worked at these parlours in Montreal to comment the name(s) of their favourite parlour(s)

I don’t speak French btw

If you have experience in Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara, or Vancouver and have a favourite parlour there. I appreciate that information as well, as I travel a lot.

If you provide additional information such as if you have to do extras, what you make, and if they are strict and enforce penalties. That would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you I’m advance !

I still have my dashboard, it‘s just that the “Available Now” button is gone and it just has a “Manage Plan” button.

I have been chronically ill/ disabled since 2024. This is my only income currently & without it, I literally won’t survive. Yes, I have emailed Tryst about it, but wanted to see if I could get the Tryst support to respond here. I’ve tried to DM them. Can I tag them here or can someone tag them?

I’m new to the industry. I needed a change in career, I couldn’t get myself out of debit in a stressful low paying career so I opted out and chose to do SW instead. It’s been a real eye opener for me and honestly like a big confidence booster.
My family would kill me if they knew but what they don’t know won’t hurt them. But yes I do take precautions, my best friends know about my work and they always have my location shared.
I feel like I’m getting there one day at a time but it has been a big adjustment and so many things to learn.

Clients privacy would remain protected of course.

Escorting Somebody posted and deleted asking SW's how they see their clients- but I still want to have the conversation! NSFW

57 Upvotes

I wrote all of this in response to somebody who had some internal conflict about their boyfriend admitting he had previously booked an escort. The question was proposed very respectfully, and this is a topic I really enjoy discussing and I think its important. While I dont know why they deleted their post, I hope they or somebody else who has the same question will see this.

I think everyone has heard some form of nightmare story about clients and the dangerous or negative parts of sex work, especially full service sex work like escorting, which is the most vulnerable and most stigmatized job in the industry.

I have had my negative experiences, and while they have informed the way I approach my job and other people in general, they dont make up the majority of my experience, and frankly they're rather uncommon for me these days. There was a time I was a survival worker but I am not anymore.

((Please note that I am in a privileged position. I am a white girl in Canada, I have a higher level of safety and access to more resources than a lot of other SW's, so i can only speak to my own personal experience. The more vulnerable someone is, the more the vultures come out.))

A lot of my clients are boring. A lot of them are busy people with busy lives that cant maintain intimate personal relationships for one reason or another.

I see my clients as people. That is what they are. People are so diverse and complex, and my favourite part of my job is getting to know people from completely different walks of life than my own. I'm some middle class goth girl who likes anime and punk music-- but i know about some financial investor's difficult relationship with his father. I know about some film director's first high-school crush. I know about some neuro-science undergrads latest breakup or existential dread.

I get to know these strangers on such an intimate level, so quickly. Ultimately these people come to see me for sex, but i get to learn about them through those acts as well. That guy's mother's friend wore pantyhose one time, and now hes grown up and feels special when I remember to wear pantyhose to our dates.

I love to learn about people, I think human connection is so undervalued and uninformed in our society. If im lucky, I even get to help people figure themselves out and maybe heal just a little.

I do see myself as a therapist in some ways. If a client stops coming to see me, maybe ive helped them gain some confidence and build a personal relationship.

There are clients that are boring, jerks, rude, creepy or even dangerous but theres also clients that are sweet, funny, shy, cute, and interesting.

My clients are just people, and im just a person. Im a person that has decided that within my boundaries, I will share my time and body for a set price. They are people that have decided they are willing to pay that price for that experience with me.

There is a lot of SWERF rhetoric out there that its impossible to consent to paid sex. The irony of this rhetoric- is it takes away my autonomy! Who are these random "feminists" to tell me when i am or am not consenting?? They cannot tell me what I do or do not consent to, just as a client or any other person cannot tell me that.

I do consent at work, and my consent is informed and enthusiastic. That payment is required for my consent to be given, just like my consent requires a condom, my consent requires hygiene, my consent requires respect. 

Please feel free to reply or DM me if you have any other questions, I really value discussions like this and I enjoy the topic!

UK sex workers and adult creators: how are you preparing for the November 6 pornography law? NSFW

14 Upvotes

​

I'm an American independent adult content creator trying to understand how the UK's new pornography restrictions will affect creators and the wider industry.

From November 6, 2026, the Crime and Policing Act introduces offences relating to possession and publication of certain pornographic images depicting strangulation or suffocation, specified incest scenarios, and roleplay sexual activity involving adults portraying someone under 16.

What concerns me is the practical impact on independent workers: existing content libraries, custom commissions, international customers, platform policies, and the risk that websites will remove more material than the law actually covers.

When legislation affects what people can create, possess, and sell, creators need clear guidance about what is prohibited and enough time to respond. Overly broad platform enforcement can also affect people's livelihoods, even when their material doesn't fall within the law.

I'm not arguing against tackling exploitation or abuse. I'm interested in how we protect people without creating unnecessary harm for consensual adult creators.

For UK creators and people familiar with the industry:

- Have your platforms explained what content will be affected?

- Are you having to review or remove existing content?

- Have you found reliable legal guidance about the boundaries of the new offences?

- Are any sex-worker organizations helping creators navigate the changes?

I'd really appreciate firsthand experiences and reliable resources.

Can't buy a place... Can't rent a place... Canada has sure changed in the last few years. Never been this depressed in my entire SW career! NSFW

36 Upvotes

I've been living abroad for the past 5 years.

Moved back recently (Toronto ON) with a school aged kid.

Saved a humble down payment- and BAM - no one wants anything to do with me because I'm self employed and I have a failed consumer proposal on my records from about 7 years ago

Fine... As much as that hurt, I've accepted it

Now? Now I learn that no one will rent to me either 🤣

This has got to be a damn joke.

They wants to see up to 2 years of bank statements, made at regular monthly intervals, so show regular income AND I need to offer a few months upfront AND get a cosigner they deem acceptable.

That's almost a humble down payment already... For a low budget 1 bedroom in an undesirable area....

This can't be it.

How the hell are you ladies getting by ?

The gravy train ended a while ago, and my days of making 50-60k/month are long gone.

How do low end SW ladies (I say low end because all the US chicks here charge 600+/hr and call themselves mid range) move out of shitty basements that no thirty something year old with any-aged child should ever find themselves in, and into a reasonable living space? I am not asking for 4 bedrooms and a Jacuzzi tub in my ensuite. I am asking for a comfortable unit, without pests, roaches, or addict infestations. (It pains me deeply that this even needs to be said about my beautiful hometown... But I digress). Please help.

What the heck am I missing here ?

I'm having my first real depression that I can't "work" my way out of 😬🙈 jokes aside...

I found this forum just recently and I wish I knew about it sooner. Reading through the posts here gave me a sense of belonging I wish I had when I was just a baby girl trying to navigate this wild world on my own.

Well now I'm older and more screwed than I've ever felt in my entire life... So I'm really hoping a sister can help another sister out 🩷

alright soo in short some girls who works at this street also works at a road/highway that is used for SW and they have to pay 2.1k tl weekly to a guy for driving them to the road and picking them back up,this part seems normal,it's for transportation

but apparently you also have to pay a house mom 1.5k tl daily to work there...for what? girl will be doing it in client's car,there is no protection from danger or cops neither and the average price for cardates is between 700-1000tl with rumors of some girls doing it for as low as 500tl

it just doesn't makes sense to me,I heard this around 1 month ago and didn't questioned it back then but now thinking of it,it just sounds bs to me that they take that much money just to be allowed to work at a fucking road
