I have a secondary/porn account for Reddit. I love it! It helps me explore some things and engage with other enthusiasts.

A few years ago out of boredom/curiosity I looked up prostitution on Reddit and came across a subreddit dedicated to sexworkers. It was interesting at first to read from the perspective of the other side. Most of the people that contribute to this subreddit are from US/Canada.

Over the course of maybe 3-4 years, whenever I log in and scroll through my home page, every time I would come across a post from sexworkers, I have found the topic and discussion in the comments to be absolutely apalling.

These women are absolutely fucking terrible people.

Look, I know this subreddit is meant for working women to discuss their experiences/give advice/tell stories, and of course, it's a trade/profession, but the level of toxicity that these women discuss their clientele and their jobs is off the charts and so off-putting.

I think the punting game in the US/North America is VASTLY different from Europe.

I've said before I prefer the RLD's/brothels to meeting an escort, but being in France I don't have much of an option. At least when I reach out to someone, I can feel that they are either half assing their efforts, or they are a true pro.

The subreddit and the women bitching about everything on the subreddit really gives sexworkers a bad reputation imo. If you're curious, go have a look for yourself on the subreddit. I'd be curious to know what you think.

IDK man I fail to see what the real issue is here. These are real people with real jobs and they are more than free to vent in any way shape or form. We have this forum - among many other avenues of communication - to discuss them, why should they not have a subreddit that is a "safespace"(ish) for them to vent or get advice from other sexworkers?

So what if they chat shit? Don't let it get in the way of a good time.

I’ve seen some of those subs as well. I always took it more as just venting. The subs tend to skew incredibly negative because the good clients just don’t really get mentioned. Why would you need to talk about the guys that do everything right? That’s what’s supposed to happen, so it’s the exceptional (ie. bad) experiences that tend to get posted.

Personally, it doesn’t offend me because I know I’m a good client and always treat my dates very well, so I know they’re not talking about me when they complain about bad clients, y’know? I’ve gotten to know a few of my regulars very well, and I know about a lot of the shit they put up with on pretty much a daily basis, so I don’t really blame them for wanting to express that frustration in a safe environment with other people who understand what they’re going through.
