I write about the reality of sex and pornographic workers, dismantling the myth that it is a job that makes easy money.

Working as a sex worker is a job that faces a series of challenges and difficulties, often overlooked by those who see this form of employment as "easy money". The reality is that being a sex worker requires a significant investment in various aspects, and is much more than simply "enjoying a shag".

First and foremost, there is a need to invest in quality filming equipment, as an oversaturated market demands high-level productions to stand out among the competition. Additionally, the time dedicated to this market, as mentioned, is becoming increasingly saturated.

Furthermore, physical appearance and personal image are fundamental elements in this industry. It is not just about "opening your legs", but involves significant physical effort. Maintaining a dream body requires gym training, financing nice clothes (especially lingerie, which can be expensive) and acquiring high-quality sex toys, which can be costly. Additionally, investment is needed in cosmetic treatments to stay attractive, as well as in contraceptives, STI tests, and treatments in case of contracting an illness.

In addition to these aspects, it is necessary to deal with social and emotional challenges. Competition in this field is fierce, forcing sex workers to constantly think about how to stand out among thousands of competitors. They also face stigma and social harassment, as well as family criticism and attempts at abuse.

To top it off, they face the same financial concerns as any worker. Bills, such as rent, electricity, water, internet, and phone, must be paid regularly, and if they have children, they also need to take care of their needs.

In summary, being a sex worker is not at all "easy money". It requires a significant investment in terms of time, money, and physical effort, while also facing a series of personal and social challenges. This reality is crucial to understand the complexity of this type of work and to challenge misconceptions and associated stigmas.
