For appointments, I recommend getting a slashproof bag with locking cable. Once you've received the cash, test it for counterfeits. Then put it (and other valuables) in the bag, and lock the bag to the plumbing under the bathroom sink.

For traveling between locations, use a money belt or a stash bra. I recommend keeping a decoy wallet with some cash and expired cards in it, so that if you are mugged, you can give them your decoy, while keeping the rest of your cash safe.

For storing cash at home, I'd make one or more "pipesafes" with some black iron pipe. Wrap and band the cash, then put it in a fire resistant bag. Then put it in the pipe, and plug the pipe with a pair of "test plugs". You can see what I mean at this instructable for making a survival cache with PVC pipe.

I recommend using black iron pipe instead of PVC because it provides some fire resistance, but you can use PVC pipe instead. You can find black iron pipe at hardware stores, and "test plugs" can be ordered online or purchased through plumbing supply stores.

Split up your money among several "pipesafes" in different locations around your apartment. That way, if you're ever robbed, the thieves may find some of your money, but they probably won't find all of your money. The best places to hide your pipesafes will vary from location to location, so you'll want to size them to fit in your preferred hiding spaces.

Be sure to write down your pipesafe locations somewhere! You will forget where they are!
I recommend storing them as a note in bitwarden, then give your bitwarden account info to a trusted friend or relative. That way, if you die or get sick/injured, your loved ones can find them and access your funds.

Why not a safe, you might ask? A safe can also work. However, thieves know to look for safes. If the safe is portable, they can just tear it out of the wall and walk out with it.

If the safe is heavy enough to prevent easy transport, then it will be a pain the butt for you to move as well. Most sex workers are young, and move or travel frequently. Pipesafes can be moved relatively easily. Plus, you could leave them behind if need be, as they're not that expensive to make.

How much cash should you keep on hand? That will vary depending on your circumstances and risk tolerance.

Personally, I would first build up a cash emergency fund of about $5 K for unexpected expenses, like car repair, "get out of dodge money" (stalker, legal action), medical bills, etc. Top up this fund as you make payouts from it.

Next, I would pre-pay a $5 K retainer with criminal defense attorney who has successfully defended a number of sex work cases. If you're ever in legal trouble, the cops may freeze your assets, making it difficult to hire someone to defend you. Prostitution / solicitation cases cost between $5 - $25 K to defend, so pre-paying at least enough to get started is a good idea.

Eventually, however, you'll probably want to deposit much of your cash in a bank account. If you ever want to purchase a house or car, having an established history of regular cashflow will be necessary. A bank account also makes it much easier to interface with the rest of the financial system.

However, any funds you deposit will become known to the IRS. So you should expect to pay taxes on those funds. You'll need to set aside around 30% of those funds for tax payments.

As an anti-money laundering and anti-tax avoidance measure, banks are required to report cash deposits / withdrawals (called a Cash Transaction Report for CTR) greater than $10000 to the government. Most banks have systems that send these reports automatically, electronically, along with your tax information.

Bank staff can optionally flag and any cash transaction as "suspicious", known as a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). For example, they might flag a deposit as "suspicious" if they think it was artificially structured to avoid the reporting requirement. (For example, making four deposits of $2499 in a 24 hour period might cause them to make a SAR.)

Due to previous government crackdowns on politically unpopular groups (gun dealers, payday loan vendors, sex workers), banks and other financial institutions are particularly skittish about providing services to sex workers.

So, if you suddenly start making a lot of cash deposits, the bank will likely ask you the source of your funds. If you don't have a good answer, they may close your account. So, be sure to have a plausible story for the source of the cash before you start making significant deposits.

Brokerages, currency exchanges, precious metals dealers and other financial institutions have similar Know Your Customer / Anti-Money Laundering regulations.

Also this is an amazing book written by a sw on amazon... check it out!

How I Made $10,000 A Month As A... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1976986125?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Amberly Rothfield breaks down how started in the phone sex industry and began making $10,000 a month consistently talking dirty on the phone. Using such websites as Niteflirt, IWantPhone and the famous Clips4Sale, Amberly became one of the top fetish content producers as well as phone sex operators in a matter of just a year with her innovative take on marketing where others in the field were not. While the book does not guarantee success, it is the first of it's kind to offer a blueprint on how to leverage popular websites to create a lucrative work from home business that is not a scam. Detailing not only how to make phone sex sound effects, Amberly talks about how to use adult friendly websites such as Twitter, Tumblr and even Medium.com to create content that will attract new clients to a budding phone sex business. Working independently sound too scary for you? Amberly also discusses how to join in already established phone sex companies. Tips ranging from newbie to experienced dirty talker, Amberly helps perfect those who take this industry seriously. The biggest take away is learning that the phone sex industry has evolved far from it's early 1990s days. Amberly shows how you can develop offline sales and not solely rely on the money from a phone that is ringing. Building sales funnels and applying business principals that few would think could ever apply. No you do not need a four year college degree as it is all laid out in an easy to digest format.

I suggest you get a tripod and Bluetooth remote trigger for your phone. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NO3SK6Q/ or this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I58VB3Y/

This simple bracket will do as a standard tripod mount: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camera-Stand-Clip-Bracket-Holder-Monopod-Tripod-Mount-Adapter-for-Cell-phone-BL-/191372113359

Then add a regular tripod: http://www.target.com/p/targus-extendable-tripod-50-tg-5060tr/-/A-10958572 or http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunpak-5200D-Digital-Tripod/21499838

Now you have the minimal gear necessary to work out exactly what poses you want, and to practice getting the little details right without running up someone else's clock.

All cameras are just devices that capture light hitting a plane. The only real difference between decent cell phone cameras and pro DSLRs is the DSLRs give you control over depth of field and exposure time, and support a huge variety of filters. Filters can be applied digitally after the shoot. Even depth of field can be faked post-production, though I wouldn't recommend that.

If these self-made shots don't come out exactly how you'd like them / good enough for commercial use, after some hours of experimenting you'll at least have many close approximations to refer to as a reference for the pros.

I just happened to be going through a list of books for a project, and I was reminded of Buddha and the Borderline-- it's a great book written by someone with BPD-- it helps you to understand where they're coming from: https://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Borderline-Recovery-Personality-Dialectical/dp/157224710X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473873387&sr=1-1&keywords=buddha+and+the+borderline

I know I'm coming from a slightly outside perspective but:

Sliquid lube doesn't have any kind of flavor to it, and lube shooters make it really easy to insert (just be careful with air bubbles..). Been a personal witness to more than one "omg you taste so good and you're so wet!" mind blown.

u/redheaded_harlot · 21 pointsr/SexWorkers

Female condoms. They're crazy, I mean, it's just exactly like sticking a sandwich bag in your vagina, but you squirt a ton of lube in there, and it should feel just fine to your client. There's an added bonus of it providing more protection against herpes (HSV2) and HPV than male condoms.

Another tip, if they just won't do a female condom, or you hate them (the whole sandwich bag thing), Skyns condoms are made of a thinner material (it's not latex, it's a kind of a plastic called polyisoprene, and it's supposed to be exactly comparable to ordinary latex condoms for STD and pregnancy protection), and I've gotten good feedback from the type that moans about having to wear condoms. Especially the poor guys who never whine or fuss about wearing them, but have mentioned a latex allergy.

Third and final tip, get yourself a cheap, sterilizable one-size-fits-all or adjustable cock ring. It has saved many a date for me. The guys think I'm being so damned exotic and innovative, and it really appeals to their vanity to see their dick look bigger than usual (it's not actually bigger, just harder, and more veiny, but they don't know that). It can also make the sensation greater, if you're doing a teasing blowjob or handjob, and you can focus more on technique, since you don't need to worry about them going soft on you.

u/GutterMaiden · 1 pointr/SexWorkers

If you're interested, Temporarily Yours by Elizabeth Bernstein goes into a lot of detail about sex work in San Francisco. Prostitution laws have a lot to do with urban geography and gentrification. She did research in the 90's with street based sex workers, who were the target of policing. She sat in on a "john school", where the coordinators told the johns to go online to find sex workers, not on the streets. There is also a chapter on more recent (2004 I believe) middle class sex workers in the bay area.

Start with Playing the Whore, then start with Melrose Gira Grant's research papers and citations thereof and therein.

Also, don't forget 1960's Gloria Steinem!

u/cancersun-aquamoon · 3 pointsr/SexWorkers

It’s not really a graphic novel but this is a zine of the authors (an erotic laborer herself) examinations of the binary nature of definitions in sex work and how sex work isn’t a “single issue”, and targets the fact that social conditions that contextualize sex work have to be looked at, the effects of poverty and how certain ideologies criminalize and penalize those affected by poverty, which often directly affect sex workers. It’s worth a read and it is sex work centric and friendly.
