    Default Sex Workers' Indispensable Remedies!

    So, even if you do the most vanilla type of sex work (however you define that), there are admittedly some occupational hazards. What products/luxuries do you swear by to keep your body & mind in the best, happiest, most productive, but also sanest/healthiest condition possible? To ward off that under-the-weather feeling? To keep your spirits up?

    (There are plenty of threads, here & elsewhere, with beauty tricks & products, so let's keep this list to more medicinal/therapeutic remedies.)



    I'll start:

    - Traditional Medicinals' "Throat Coat" tea (perfect for making my deepthroat-frenzied tonsils feel better)

    - good, insightful, sex-positive therapy (not exactly related to my sex work, but it certainly helps that it's not judgmental of my sex work)

    - regular full-body massages (currently just from my partner, but I really want to start pampering myself more with professional massages)

    She wonders how much he'd pay to see her innards, what it is guys think girls are hiding so that they always want to see them in every place.
    - Virginie Despentes,


    All I wanna do is get my pussy sucked / count a million bucks in the back of an armored truck.

    Berocca supplement drink (general well being)
    healthy eatingfor skin etc
    cranberry juice (to stave off urinary infections)

    I'm sure there's lots more I can't think of right now

    I eat Miso! I swear by it. Helps keep me from getting sick but I also feel healthier in general. It is gross tasting though lol. I always make sure that I find time to do other things. Even though camming is important to me right now and it's my main income right now, I keep it on the back burner. I don't want it to become this demanding and depressing thing.

    acidophilus - a supplement that is actually a 'good bacteria' found in yogurt and other foods that helps ward off yeast infections, and other nasty germs.
    Multi vitamin- because you just should.
    and I looooove aromatherapy of all kinds- from trees and rain, to incense. I love the chill feeling and the inspiration that scents can give you.
    Marijuana- because it helps me (everyone is different, obviously) relax, get inspiration, and just generally makes my body feel better after a long day.
    And of course, moisturizer. I really like hemp or goat's milk moisturizer because of it natural ingredients and good smell. Mmm..

    Great list thus far, ladies!


    The mentions of yogurt & acidophilus remind me of GT's Kombucha, which I SWEAR by. Makes me feel good. Makes my stomach feel good. It's an expensive habit, though, & I keep promising myself that I'm gonna buy a "mother" & start brewing my own...

    (^ and if that isn't a funny sentence, then I don't know what is )

    My boyfriend and I buy GT's by the case about once a month (4-5 cases at a time). we go to the health food store and they have to load it into our truck with a dolly. seriously, we joke about how expensive our habit is. its pretty ridiculous, some people do drugs, we do kombucha. lol

    I take a lot of vitamin C.

    I'm also pretty meticulous about my pre-sesh ritual: showering, getting ready, a nice playlist going, then a re-washing of my toys (I'm a little OCD about toy cleaning). It gets me into the right headspace. Then I lay out my gear with a bottle of water and go.

    Moisturizer - something about putting it on after a shower gets me back into my skin, if you know what I mean.

    I also take L-lysine. It's great for your immune system and I'm prone to cold sores. Since I started taking it, I haven't had one in months. Cheap too, 100 capsules was $4 at Target.

    Everyone's talking about taking stuff for your tummy. I gotta say I tried that several times, acidophilus, kefir, those yogurts and cereals they have these days that I call "pooping yogurt" and it doesn't work for me. Makes my tum sound like angry cats are fighting in it and glues me to the toilet for a few days. Ain't gonna happen. Don't want to be the queen of fart fetish.

    ...I... do not like the look of the mother. Like.. really. I had a bottle, and was like, "ooh, this is interesting", went to look it up and was horrified by the thought of a bacteria pancake.
    I understand that I eat bacteria all the time, and that it's very helpful to me.. but the thought of it in pancake form floating on my soon-to-be-iced-tea just turns me off.

    I like to put a little vinegar in my bathwater when I suspect a yeast infection is approaching. If my vag is angry after sex, or camming, or because maybe I went crazy and added a little too much vinegar to my bathwater, I'll dip a tampon in yogurt and sit with that for a bit.

    I use jojoba oil and coconut oil for EVERYTHING. Lube to skincare to food. I'm positive that it's the key to complete healthiness.

    and drink water. if you're dehydrated absolutely nothing works and everything looks ugly.

    Oh my god, I know, the "mother" is so, so nasty. When I think about it too much I get grossed out. But shelling out $3.50 a bottle adds up FASSSSST, so I'ma hafta get over my squeamishness I think.

    I love the vinegar idea! I gulp down a few capfuls of apple cider vinegar sometimes when I'm feeling inexplicably not-so-right. Cloves of garlic, wrapped in cheesecloth, for the cooch. Lots more smelly, smelly remedies, I'm sure...

    This all reminds me of (back in the daaaaaaaay) the Livejournal community "Vagina Pagina." So, so, SO much useful stuff on there. All archived and easily searchable, too. Quelled many a fear of mine: http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/

    D Mannose daily. Haven't had a bladder/urinary tract infection in 2 yrs taking it. And I used to suffer with them monthly. My long suffering mom turned me onto it. Awesome!

    Apple cidar vinegar 3 tbsp once to twice daily after a meal with a 1/4 tsp of baking soda in a tall bottle of water. Clear skin, no PMS and periods that are very manageble. (I have fibroids, they used to be hell) This also seems to trim pounds off me without doing much else at all except eating low carb as I usually do. I'll take that!

    Emu oil makes my skin lovely during and after our harsh winters.

    Monistat cool wipes are the bomb for quick freshen ups. Soothing.

    ^ I'm going to try to do a more regular apple cider vinegar thing, on your suggestion. Like I said, I only drink it very sporadically, but it's always strangely refreshing. Will keep you posted!

    The weight loss was a surprise. The lack of PMS, no sore boobs, that was amazing! My period literally sneaks up on me.

    I have friends who are doing that HCG protocol drops and losing like 16 lbs in 18 days. They say they have no hunger and they are only eating 500 cals a day. It seems to work for them. They do 6 weeks of it, then eat healthy until their next loading or whatever its called.

    I researched it and figured if I was only eating 500 cals a day, damn! I'd be losing weight too. But I'd be knawing my friggin arm off.

    I argue about muscle wasting, they argue that the HCG prevents that. They aren't hungry and I have witnessed that. And most have kept the weight off. Sure made me sit up and take notice.

    I have 20 to 30 lbs to lose. I"m working at it with high protein some greens, apple cider vinegar, and walking daily. If that doesn't work. I'll look at HCG again.

    Hard to deny the results when I'm looking at them every day.

    This is going to sound rude as hell, but I have to say it: citing a really, really fucking unhealthy crash diet system is a fast way to lose all credibility in my book. 500 calories a day is never acceptable, and is frankly a really irresponsible thing to tout on a mostly-female forum. Thanks, but no.

    Yes you are right, it does seem rude.

    I am sharing my experiences with what has worked for me. (very low carb and ACV) And mentioned what others claim has worked for them. It's not my gig. If that offends you, it was certainly not my intention.

    have a good one!

    First off: this very specifically was NOT a weight loss thread. Very. Specifically. I think it's sad that many women's minds go to weight loss when the broad topic of health comes up. Believe me, I've been there. But I'm not going back.

    Secondly: damn right I'm testy when you're espousing a starvation diet. Enough people read this that saying ignorant, short-sighted things like "hard to deny results" and THEN distancing yourself from the claim just comes off as, well, ignorant and short-sighted.

    But hey. I'm just one bitch.
