PS: I'm not trying to offend anyone; I'm only asking since you guys give very insightful answers.
I talked online with some escorts(based in UK/Canada); however, it seems their life is somewhat more accessible than other sex workers. For instance, I've observed that they tend to have their website, handpick their clients, and charge higher fees(I've even heard $2000). There's even the added element of privacy. Some of them have their face blurred out. Hence they can get involved in that world and then bounce later on. I heard of a woman who ends up finishing her master's degree after escorting. Nobody knew who she was. Hence she continued with her life.
Hence, I'm surprised that in America, pornography is legal, but escorting falls in a grey area. Or even mongering going to the provides house is illegal and highly stigmatized.
In contrast, pornography seems like a very harsh industry to get involved with. I'm not talking about things like Onlyfans or uploading a couple of videos. I'm talking about being part of the industry.
From what I'm hearing, the pay is low($800 under), the demands are high(it seems that rough sex is the norm), often, the norm is not to use condoms. Hence it seems stressful to get constantly tested. I don't want to demonize the industry, but I heard there's a lot of alcohol/drug abuse going. Even if you get out of pornography widely available, it leaves you with a "stigma" that you'll have to carry. Not only might your family will judge you, but there's a lot of weirdos online who are harassing porn stars online. I was reading, and hence people who get involved in the world seem to fare worst down the line.
Again, I don't want to be judgemental or discourage anyone from pursuing a porn career. However, now that I'm pornography should not be taken lightly as some people take it.

*Now that I'm learning more about pornography, I don't think it should be taken as lightly.
Onlyfans seems to be supplanting traditional porn, camming, stripping, and escorting. You can set your own terms, prices, privacy, etc., etc. So, in that sense, porn is more attractive than escorting. Being a high-end escort is a different set of circumstances entirely; and by high-end I mean Heidi Fleiss, the Canal Street Madame, and all of that stuff. However, you have to work much harder and be much more genetically and surgically advantaged to be there instead of on the current equivalent of backpage.
Wiffle Waffle thanks for the comparison. You had some very informative things to say. I was surprised men get paid more. I remember reading an article (this was over a decade ago) saying men were paid less because there were so many available and that a lot of straight men were doing gay porn because it paid more (the was an actual segment on HBOs Real Sex series back in the day). Your comment makes sense today, seems like it the same 5 guys in every porn scene but so many different women. I have some questions.
What are the 3 cities porn is mostly filmed in?
You escort?
Are there scenes you’ve been in available online now?
May your recovery be quick and complete.
Hoeing is a choice made in desperation.
Unless girl fuck dog videos.
The term "sex worker" is so ugly sounding. Just because the media promotes a term doesn't make it a good term. What is wrong with imitmacy professional, erotic entertainer, adult performer, love employee, or even just good old fashioned prostitute?
@Wiffle Waffle Thanks for the very insightful comments. 1-How much do male actors get paid? 2-Why is hard to find male talent? 3-Is there a market for regular guy having sex with cute women. Like with Jordi and others. Or would they have to produce their work indententely(like hiring actress) and then try maybe they can have a partnhership with more professional studios.
I see thank you. Excellent response! I see at least in my case, I want to do private videos for myself. Not interested in the business sites. I guess, then its best to search for escort agencies.
