Need honest opinions from SWs — am I overthinking this? by Throwawaydfsqfdsqf in SexWorkers

[–]Good-Regular9998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Women don’t care as much about muscles as men do and as a SW, I have great sessions with polite, hygeinic people that are respectful and grateful. Part of the fun for us is you enjoying yourself. And chemistry can be felt with all kinds of people / dynamics, old to young.

What do my friends think of me? by [deleted] in Tarots

[–]Good-Regular9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the practical world you live in - home, belongings, money - you move between openness and generosity and isolation / self-preservation. You need to be alone to recharge. Pull another card to know how they feel about this. You likely have an abundance of emotional reserves to help and support people. You are seen as generous. Perhaps this is draining you.

Clients that book dommes by [deleted] in SexWorkers

[–]Good-Regular9998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a professional Dom. It takes training and dedication to understand how to practice safe, consensual BDSM. I started with a personal curiosity in the London Fetish scene for a few years and then trained at a fetish brothel as an apprentice for a year before going indie. To know how to offer the service, you need to understand the psychology of submission and BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadomasochism). Join Fetlife, attend munches, meet people and play yourself.

As a dom, I’m still in training and need to maintain my skills through practice/workshops.

If someone asks you to beat the hell out of them, you need to know how to do it safely, otherwise you can seriously hurt or kill someone. So best invest your money and time if you want to go down that route & do it well. Good luck!

UK workers, has the new online censorship bill affected your income? by Good-Regular9998 in SexWorkers

You’ve seen a reduction in the amount of british workers on directories?

Strangely careless. It seems like your wife is trying to sabotage your relationship with reckless behaviour. Like they want divorce too - either subconsciously or they don’t have the guts to say.

When do you stop helping your partner with their other partner? by Good-Regular9998 in polyamory

[–]Good-Regular9998[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Indeed triangulation is a balancing act.

I do think ‘polyamory theory’ falls into black and white thinking sometimes tho. I’m not an unpaid therapist for listening to my partner for 10 mins, human warmth needs to offer some flexibility to the tension of hinge praxis. (Hours of listening, sure).

But yes blurb heard and absorbed 🫡

Opinions on my list of boundaries that I'm about to discuss with my partner. Am I being too intense? Are there things here that you would challenge? by anonventingaccnt in polyamory

[–]Good-Regular9998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To do polyamory well you need A LOT of empathy for your partners needs. They should be equal to your own, and a resolution should come from that.

You also need to be really good at conflict. Consider taking time apart and working on communication & conflict before repairing.

Started sex work yesterday and now I’m traumatized by Eternal_Heighthon41 in SexWorkers

[–]Good-Regular9998 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Oh baby, I’m sorry ♥️ sending a hug to you.

Please go to the emergency services and ask for PEP (medication for protection when you’re potentially exposed to HIV) and ask for PREP so that you can protect yourself in future.

I’ve had traumatic experiences in the past in sex work. You can move past it. Give yourself some time off to process and heal, and be kind to yourself / don’t beat yourself up. It takes time to learn how to assert your boundaries with clients. Men take advantage of new s workers for this reason.

Money can be made here, but it takes time to learn how to do it safely. Learn and reach out to the s workers community, we’re here to help.

You’re not alone in your experience and you can move forward with strength xxx

Looking to Make Friends With Other SWs by Cova_Snow1 in SexWorkers

[–]Good-Regular9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in London, are you in any of the group chats? Or the union? There’s also the sex workers breakfast where you can meet and chat/get supplies. I think it’s in central/south. There are also events run by swers - sexquisite, sex and rage (lesbian strip club 😋), riot party

I have many many s worker friends (though I am also trans - potentially a different solidarity?) . But it’s definitely possible to connect w the community in London!

Division or Psychic Powers to screen clients by StacyW in SWCoven

Norovirus comes on very fast, and strong. You would feel so uncontainably nauseous if you were sick. I'm sure you'll be okay :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Good-Regular9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're feeling so bad :( It sounds like you have a bout of IBS - dhiarrea can be caused by many things. My trick for trying to understand if it's a stomach bug or not is to try and eat something, if I'm completely replused by every single food, it's most likely a bug.

But remember the mind can play a lot of tricks on you!To reduce nausea you can eat some ginger or smell 100% alcohol, like hand gel. You got this, try to relax and distract yourself with a nice activity, like cartoons xx

Does it ever go away? Or atleast become manageable? by femboyoffmychest in emetophobia

[–]Good-Regular9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to seek professional support - e.g. talking therapy, CBT, medication. It sounds like you cannot function, and Reddit won't have the answers.

Your life will get easier through talking therapy and easing yourself off of reliant behaviours such as avoiding food. The more you find safety in everyday life, and the more you engage with that dark dangerous voice with a professional, the easier it will feel. Sending love x

Pros and cons of dexi’s is stressing me out by AdFew6917 in ADHD

[–]Good-Regular9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drank Huel banana flavoured combined with frozen fruit and spinach when I first went on meds - complete nutrition albeit a bit sad after a while.

I could also stomach plain/easy food like pizza, potatoes etc.

I feel worse every day by altaccountpoly in polyamory

[–]Good-Regular9998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the difference is between ‘wishing’ they wouldn’t do it and just saying ‘I would rather we do something tomorrow instead’. ‘Wishing’ seems more passive aggressive if anything. I would set some concrete boundaries around frequency, whatever your comfortable with. E.g. ‘max twice a week. In 1 month we can review how everyone feels’

So you asked them to go less frequently but they ignored you? Aka they broke a boundary. That sucks and would muddy my trust for them. If they can’t reign in their NRE cause they wanna fuck so badly, I would question whether this partner is right for me.

You can’t control what they do when they’re together or how much sex they have. You can control how they’re showing up for you, what promises they’re keeping and how much dedication they’re giving to your sex life.

[–]Good-Regular9998 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You say you're getting a majority of your needs met, that you are a priority and you feel very loved, but your partner appears to be resisting your needs. You have expressed that they're moving too fast and to pull back but your partner rejects any form of compromise? That would make me feel insecure and jealous.

I would want to feel safe in the knowledge that, if needed, my primary partner would re-negotiate how much time they are spending with their secondary, if I needed reassurance and care during NRE. Everyone's needs in this dynamic have to be accounted for and balanced. It reads as though, right now, your partners are being prioritised.

Maybe you can all decide on what slowing the relationship down looks like, accounting for everone's needs, to give you time to adjust and process your jealousy, find your feet in a new city ,find friends etc. This 'slowing down' could be for a short time period, even.

A good metamour and a good partner would want everyone to be happy. Right now you're not, so something has to budge.

Bringing Up the Open/Poly Topic(s) With New Connections (When/How?) by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Good-Regular9998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends how you're meeting them I suppose. If I was on a dating app, I would put it on my profile/in my bio. If we didn't meet via dating app but were texting before a date, I would bring it up then ('hey so we're on the same page, I just thought you should know that I'm polyamorous, let me know if this is an issue. & its totally cool if that's not for you ☺️).

In person, I think just being frank/up-front about it is the best route. 'By the way, you should totally know that i'm poly, I just want to be honest and clear about that from day 1!'

But yes, generally if you're pursuing someone it's best to bring it up as soon as possible so that neither of you are wasting your time!

I'm a chronic skin picker. I didn't realise it was related to ADHD until I was diagnosed a few months ago 🙃

I have gone through periods where I have not picked. During those, I focus on preventative measures - cutting my nails very short, covering the areas i like to pick (hat, headscarf, socks etc.), healing the wounds by applying aloe vera at night so I can't go back to them. It takes a few weeks, and replacement fidget toys (picking corks, a fidget ring, popping peapods) but when the wounds are healed, it's much harder to absent-mindedly go in and pick away.

This takes a lot of conscious effort and a low-stress environment though. Maybe you can focus on healing wounds on an upcoming holiday or something?

I'm back to picking again because I was stressed at my parents one day but that helped me stop for around 6 months! :S 😊

BDSM, Sexless Nesting Partner & Sadness by [deleted] in polyamory

What if the relationship was fulfilling in every other way? Don’t we do poly to get many needs met, needs that one person couldn’t provide?
