    Default Participants needed for research study on sex workers in chicago area

    My name is Meghan Seewald. I am a graduate student at DePaul University, and I am currently working on my final MA research project. My research is on the experience of stigma for sex workers in their personal relationships and when seeking health care and social services. I am looking for men and women ages 18 to 64 who are currently involved in any realm of the sex industry, who identify as sex workers. I am looking for participants to discuss their experiences and feelings about their work, and how the services that are available to sex workers can be improved. The interviews will last about an hour, in a public or private place of your choice. All information about the participant is kept completely confidential, during and after the study.You will also be compensated for time involved with the study. If you are interested in participating, please contact me at 248-219-6495 or at [email protected]. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

    You probably shouldn't post your phone number on a public forum.

    Interesting that your area code is the same as mine; Are you from somewhere in the Southeast Michigan area? I also see that your email is a Michigan State email. Is that where you did your undergrad?

    I don't identify as a sex worker, I identify as a dancer. But if those two terms are interchangeable for you, I guess I fall under the category you described. However, I don't live in Chicago, but my best friend does. She is dancing in Detroit now but going back to Chicago next week. Perhaps she can help if you are serious about this.

    I'm curious about that as well. It's a SE Michigan are code and a Michigan State email. Perhaps she's from the Southeast Michigan area, did her undergrad at MSU, and just didn't change her phone number and continued to use her old email? My friend has been living in Chicago for over two years now and still has a 248 number lol.

    Just a side note, I know an escort in her 50's, and Ive seen cam girls around that age or older...not to mention ladies who may not be in the front line anymore but moved on to working behind the scenes. There are ladies of all age ranges in all aspects of the adult industry. ..its not only for ladies in their 20s.

    oh yeah, i know, i intend on doing it for as long as i can too! the ladies at my club who are in their 40s are the top earners. i guess 64 just seems old to me because that's my moms age :p didn't mean any offense

    Just because the area code is from Michigan doesn't mean she's not in Chicago. I know a lot of people that live in my city that never changed their phone number after they moved here from other places. And regardless - it's a university email address. I highly doubt it's some conspiracy.

    Yep, I am originally from the Detroit suburbs but am now in Chicago for graduate school, I just haven't changed my contact information. I'm using a broad definition of sex work because it means so many different things to different people (I personally don't really consider stripping to be sex work but there are lots of folks out there who do). If your friend would be interested, please give her my information, I am definitely serious about this project

    Thank you Yes, I moved to Chicago from the Detroit area and went to Michigan State for my undergrad degree, and just have not switched over my information. I'm currently located in Chicago and am working on a research project for my Master's degree. In no way is it a conspiracy

    so you're not a stripper but want girls to participate in your survey about sex work but also don't consider stripping to be sex work and feel the need to say that to a bunch of strippers?

    good luck!
