Allowing Me To Work Around My Mental Health
First and foremost, you may be surprised to hear that sex work has helped me manage my mental health. Yes, that’s right. Not to say that this industry doesn’t have its challenges. Sometimes those challenges can even add to my mental stress. However, I live a freelance lifestyle. This means I’m my own boss, I make my own schedule, and I am the only one who holds myself accountable for my productivity or income.
While it can be a challenge to push myself when I don’t have rules or a guideline to follow, it can also be a blessing. I can work around my state of mind, which is a privilege poorly neglected if you have a nine-to-five. As many can now attest, working from home, even with responsibilities, can be a lot less stressful than having to show up to an office and present your best day after day. If I have a bad day, I can choose to relax, sleep as much as I can, and do whatever I need to do in order to make the next day better.
Currently, I work in a gentlemen’s lounge. Every club is different, but mine is quite laid back. Once a girl is approved by management for hire, they can come in whenever they like. Some girls may disappear and pop back up months later; no explanation needed.
You can work once and choose to never come back if you prefer. The amount of money a dancer can make in one night means a girl only needs to work about one or two times a week to see a lucrative outcome. Because of this, the downtime I have is often spent making content for my online adult work, enjoying self-care, or spending time with family and friends. The sense of freedom that comes with this job is unlike any other I’ve experienced. It doesn’t just give me financial freedom but also mental freedom.
Reading People And Social Skills
Speaking of mental health, I used to suffer from severe social anxiety, something you may not expect from a sex worker. At one point, it was so bad, I was nothing more than a wallflower. When I started dancing, it had been something I was working through for a while, but it still took all my nerve to apply for the job. Surprisingly, working in a club helped me climb out of my shell.
The fact is, in this environment, if you don’t put yourself out there, you simply won’t make any money. The competition is fierce. I’m still not competitive and never beg for attention, but I learned how to sell myself. I can now approach any man or woman, make good conversation and most importantly (in this context), make them spend money for my time. It certainly improved my social skills, and my confidence has risen through the roof.
