    I'm turning off my phone now. Luckily I'm going camping in the morning so will be out in the wilds and away from it all for a bit. Just hope come November you guys don't end up with trump and in the same situation as us x

    Glamourmilf you're right. As much as I want to be politically involved last night I had to switch everything off and I think this may be the last thing I read about it. It's affecting me too much and the news is definitely going to sensationalise and portray the worst case scenario in order to get viewers and readers. I just can't read it any more. I did read we could join the European Economic Area maybe which is the trade part of the set-up, like Switzerland... maybe that's a good option now. I honestly feel sick and there's NOTHING I can personally do about it (I'm not going to get involved in politics) so it just has too much of a negative effect reading it. I think it's good to stay informed but for now I'll not be reading it and re-assess in a week or so. Now comes the hard bit - stopping myself from reading it!!

    Bottom line is nobody will be buying things they don't need if we do get into a serious world wide recession. That's just how it is. But then again, you can spend less and you can make less. That's sort of what we're all having to do, and I've been doing for years now.

    Part of the reason I do adult work is so that I CAN afford nice things that I couldn't on just a job. And mind you I have THREE college degrees. I have worked in the professional field until I decided to change things around for reasons I'm not listing here. I still make more doing this than anything vanilla. Well, this AND my PSO AND my other things I do. It all adds up.

    But sex sells and it's the oldest profession. There are some customers who would starve and put themselves into financial ruin just to wank it. And that's not my problem. So, get it while the gettings good, but I think there will be slim pickings.

    Well since David Cameron rage quit, instead of seeing Brexit as shit hitting the fan, maybe we can see it as a really sarcastic form of a revolution. Gotta love that British humour.

    As for Trump winning in November? I'm going to prepare my zombie apocalypse skills. Crossbows, martial arts, camping supplies, non-perishables, propane and a few solar generators.

    Just because this happen does not mean that men will just stop spending on sex workers. Personally, I do not have to make less to spend less either. Also, there will not be slim pickings for everyone either. There are plenty of men who are willing to pay even if a recession hits. Everyone just need to catered to men who can afford their prices only. Men will always pay for sex, food, entertainment ,and a root over their heads. If it is a worldwide recession, than you must adapt to it in order to gain maintain or gain a higher income. This means that adult entertainers must adapt to modern technology, take more control over their careers, and diversified themselves.

    On the topic of the £ declining vs the $. Won't that mean that for uk girls on american sites like SM, they will actually get a higher exchange rate as our cheques are in dollars?? Might work in our favour from that perspective?

    ^ Yeah, that is true, I'm happy I'm getting paid in USD right now. However, if costs of living in the UK increase it won't make much of a positive difference in the long run.

    I'm very upset about this. The UK's shat in its hands and clapped as far as I'm concerned. I really hope the EU stays strong in the wake of this and that most of the shit is restricted to the UK, although I do live here. The atmosphere in Europe is very scary right now and instability would only make things worse. It's a classic thing of years of economic inequality and austerity measures, with the declines in living standards they caused, being blamed on some outsider group - in this case, immigrants. This kind of pitting one marginalised group against each other is pure evil and you don't even need a very detailed knowledge of 20th century history to see which way the wind is blowing. Years of shitty fiscal policy in the UK has created a really large dissatisfied group of people and they've just completely missed the goal and shot themselves in the foot. The British ruling classes are reaping what they've sowed but unfortunately so is everyone else and we don't have their wealth to protect us.

    In my opinion Europe is heading down the path of fascism and if that concerns you at all, now's the time to become involved. You know when you learn about awful things in history happening and you think "why didn't all those ordinary people do anything about it? How could they just let it happen?" Well, congrats - now's the time to do something about it.

    I'm scared of the brexit, too. As much as Americans like to think that they're the end-all-be-all of the economy and everything else, the ripples from this could hurt pretty badly.

    Also, many Americans tend to look at the British as our sophisticated older brother. Yeah, sometimes we think he's a dick, but he's older, more worldly, probably better educated, and definitely more polite. In Hollywood movies, the easiest way to make someone look smart, sophisticated, and rich (and sometimes a snob) is to give the character a British accent. If you guys managed to do this, WTF kind of havoc can the American people wreak in the next few months? If a kid sees that his big brother didn't flush after taking a shit, does he take it as a sign that it's totally kosher, or even encouraged, to shit on the dining room table?
    (Btw, I saw that Trump went to Scotland to promote one of his golf courses and gave a speech congratulating the UK on it's wonderful decision. A stunning display of his nuanced understanding of international relations and politics!)

    Anyhow, I just did the math on upping my rates on AW. I was wondering, though, if the British tighten their belts, is it possible that some British escort patrons would cut back and start seeing cam models? Would that help replace the guys that cut back on camming?

    I'm speaking purely as a person who does this for extra money. Not as a career. If I did this as a career I'm not sure I would chance it. I have a partner who works and I don't really have to at all. But my vanilla job paid decently well, I can make that much as a PSO full time from home.

    I'm saying, it depends on a lot of factors. But I think it's going to hurt all across the board up to and including adult entertainment. I am expensive but I could be more and likely will be. However I'll not drop my rates. And I spend too much time at the moment I'm free chat to make what I make at my rate. Could be that I just came back. But if any of those factors change for me I'll bounce on the cam gig at least.

    I'm not really familiar with politics of Donald Trump? Could you explain it to me why he is so bad? And why Americans vote for him? I see him as a creepy rich guy

    No one does it better than John Oliver:



    Also, looks like people are regretting their leave vote because they didn't actually think their vote mattered:

    There's no one who is good.
    One worst than other.
    But I like Trump dude got building skills, maybe he will build a prison for Hilary and nursing home for Bernie.
    Hilary 68 y o
    Trump 70 y o
    Bernie 74 y o
    To be a president very stressful, intensive job. People of their age should have some shame, wasting damn money and time.
