I know this will offend someone and someone will go crying to the mods to have it closed. But until then I want your opinions on a male or female doing "adult" type work to pay bills, school payments, medical bills, etc. Sure you can say GO GET A REAL JOB! But what IS a REAL job?

Please no insults and no rude comments. There ARE excuses so no "They should get a job, there's no excuse." You never know a person's situation and you never know what they've been through or what have you.

    I'd say do what you need to do but your looks and body won't last forever. The money will be great and very enticing at first but it won't last forever. At some point, nobody will want to give you singles are log into your viewing room. Take the time and be patient while you're young to get some kind of education to set yourself up for future success. You will need a fallback plan at some point in your life.

    Are hookers called "female escorts" now? or are those just the higher class ones?

    Like Adult Modeling or something else...l think that is something that seems easy maybe at first but with the addition of children and the internet age it might be something that is regretted. Just an opinion not a judgement

    Interesting question but too broad to say. If there is "excuses" as you say there might be, unless these are known its tough to call. But generally I try to not judge anyone.

    It's their body, who am I to say what they can and cannot do with it? There are some women who really do like being strippers, so I wouldn't say it's degrading to them. I mean, if you like getting naked and you like money, then it's the perfect job, right?

    It's illegal in Vegas, they're just really good at getting around it. Pahrump NV it has some legality.

    I say if they have the confidence to do it, and feel good doing it, then Go for it! I won't lie, I've thought about doing web chats..Could never do phone chats,cause I'd either be totally grossed out or laugh my butt off.

    as long as it is legal and you have no moral problems with it it shouldn't be anyone else's business

    There is alot of places that one can strip in that would not be as bad.

    I have a friend who resorted to becoming a hooker. While I disagree with her life choice, its her life and I still love her for what's inside somewhere.

    I would say if you have to question whether or not you should do it, then you shouldn't.

    No one said it's a forever job. I said to pay bills and to help pay for school. So clearly someone could be trying to put themselves through medical school by getting naked on a nightly basis and once they actually land the high paying job and are able to support themselves they can just stop or whatever.

    If you feel safe and you're not morally opposed to it, then it would preferable to starving. However, I'd be wary of anything that required actual physical contact (I'm being delicate), simply because of the risks (I'm not just talking diseases – human trafficking and forced prostitution are very real threats). You should also be aware – especially if footage of your work ends up online – that this could impact your future career opportunities. If you have children, you'd have to determine how to hide your work (or explain it to them, depending on their age). But if you've considered everything and it seems like the best path... heck, go for it, and get your bills paid.

    A REAL job is normally something that is legal, state/federal taxes are taken out social security, you know that sort of thing-without getting too into it.
    What kind of opinions did you want? You'll probably get at least two quite varied sides, and one is certainly going to say 'go get a real job' however, it sounds like you only want one opinion so, I guess spread your legs and spread the word; you do you.

    In all honestly though, I would say consider it carefully. You don't want what you've done early on in adulthood to follow you and hold you back later on in life. We've all heard stories like that.

    If the person can live with the consequences of their career choices for the rest of their life it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

    It's a seedy industry, that leads most girls to drugs, abuse, and money problems. Be safe, whatever you choose. Things can go bad really quick when you delve in adult entertainment!

    The thing with hookers is you pretty much know what you're gonna be paying for. With escorts, you're paying them for their time. And if it leads to other things then so be it. Now there are some escorts that are just hookers, but most are just there as a PrePaid date.

    pay for school ...see what do you plan on doing with your life after school ... if you want go for it ... to quote a wise man .."Someone has to entertain all the married men" ... but remember some things follow you after your done with that career so if you want to be something like a teacher I would suggest against it.

    I think before someone gets into that line of work they really need to do some soul searching and be certain that it is something they want to do and they need to consider the repercussions down the road with future jobs, significant others, children, etc. I have no problem with adult work and do not look down on anyone in that industry. Also, even though I believe that we should be able to do whatever we want with our bodies, I think a line should be drawn when considering engaging in something illegal. Though I don't think that prostitution should be illegal. But it is.

    Side note, prostitution is illegal in the city of Las Vegas, but in some counties, brothels have been legalized. However I believe prostitution is illegal outside of the brothels.

    I don't think this is a decision to be made lightly, and honestly I don't think you should put much stock in what anyone on a message board tells you. YOU are the one that will have to live with the consequences of your decision. Just know that anything on video or camera is permanent once it exists. And unfortunately, you have no way to control what happens to those images.

    I don't have any particular moral reasons why working in the adult industry is wrong. Just be aware that your decision to do so could impact you for the rest of your life.

    "hooking" is dangerous. illegal. and just plain not even half as fun as it sounds.

    escorting is a little expensive to get started (if you really want to make money) - getting an account on eccie.com or eros.com costs a few hundred dollars, and you're expected to have professional photos made as well as references - an iphone with instagram and a bathroom mirror just won't cut it.
    you have to have a "gimmick", and prove that you're better than every other girl out there trying to make a buck. It's unsafe - not just the sex, but the most money is made doing outcalls (i.e. going to some specified location to meet the client). incalls are just as dangerous because if you're working out of your home, you're giving complete strangers (who hire escorts) your address. and if you work out of a hotel, you're at serious risk of being thrown out or caught by the police. hotel staff are trained to recognize escorts and sex workers. also, keep in mind the majority of your clients will be married, and will be hiring you to appease their fetish. if you plan to do nothing more than basic oral favors or the old "squeak squeak", then you're clientele will run dry and undercut you every time.
    not to mention you will need an imposing male friend (preferably gay or related) to accompany you at each appointment, and he should expect a customary 40% of your fee. keep in mind, once you're inside and scantily clad or less, it will be awfully difficult to signal your guard without putting yourself in danger.

    stripping is basically the same, but you will be required to pay up to 60% of your earnings to the DJ, the club owner, and the bartender/bouncers. it's hard work, but with less risky sexual activity. however, you will be a piece of meat competing with 50 or so other girls every night you work for hours on end. and the club owner? he'll expect unlimited access to you, and basically be your "legal" pimp.

    camming, Domme services, etc, they all have risks and potential consequences. there is no such thing as easy money.

    actually it is illegal in Vegas...according to Wikipedia: Nevada is the only U.S. state to allow some legal prostitution,[1] in the form of regulated brothels. Prostitution outside these licensed brothels is illegal.

    The brothels are situated in isolated rural areas, and the vast majority of Nevada's population lives in counties where all forms of prostitution are illegal, namely Clark, Washoe, Douglas, and Lincoln counties, and Carson City (an independent city). The other counties allow brothels, but some of these counties currently have no active brothels (brothels are in operation in only 8 counties); as of June/July 2008 there were 28 legal brothels in NV.

    As far as other adult related jobs...to each their own! If you feel like it is what you need to do to survive...then go for it! But there are other option out there, that you can work towards, to insure that you will have no regrets in the future, and to insure a secure future for yourself.
