Ugh so I wrote this all out and my firefox crashed so here we go again lol...
Ok so I have been dancing for about two years and camming for one. When I began in the adult industry I had a plan to only do it for two years or so. I had my own reasons, the main reason being that I would be done with school by then and also for other wrong reasons. Everyone that I told about my job would say the same thing, "Well your only doing it for now/while your in school. So its ok." like it was some kind of justification for doing this kind of work (like I need the justification...psh). Anywho, the more I have been in the industry the more it feels like my business as opposed to a job. When I started I worked on SM every now and then for extra money. The more I got into learning about how to make my own website, and edit my content, and do my taxes the more "adult" I started to feel. I really do feel that this business has helped me grow so much in the past year and mature in such a great way. I don't depend on a job to give me hours or give me mundane tasks to do. I am in charge of my business and the work I put in reflects in the final numbers.
I think its funny how so many people think we're just here to take our clothes off and the money rolls in. We are marketing experts, accountants, makeup artists, producers, counselors, sex goddess, fetish queens, webmasters ....the list goes on. And we need to be good at all of these to be successful and then some. Sad to say I used to be ashamed of what I did but not anymore. We do so much and are in charge of so much it feels good to be in this industry and reaping the benefits of my hard work.
So I was wondering if any of you other ladies came into this with a certain mind set and goal and now have a completely different one.
I don't think I will be doing this forever and I am still learning so much more in school but for now I am very happy because I am learning so much from what I am doing now and the people I have met and skills I have acquired are unlike anything else I have ever experienced.

And now that I'm jobless again and preparing to go back to sex work, I have everyone asking what I'll do and my bf trying to convince me to apply to certain bars/restaurants... I know they all mean well... I know it's hard for anybody to understand why anyone would go into the sex industry in the first place - it's almost impossible for outsiders to understand why anyone who's left it would want to go back. But they just don't understand the freedom it brings...
