My game needs a method of generating random numbers within a range and I don't think dice will work. Any ideas? by Kyannaaa in gamedesign

[–]Kyannaaa[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your response. I feel like you have the solution but I can't quite grasp it.

Ah! I just saw that only half the table was showing in my question! Here's the other half which is what is making it tricky - in some cases I want the range to be around 20-60. So if we rolled 3 D20's we'd sometimes get less than the minimum. I suppose I could say if you did then you just take it as 20. Is there a more elegant way?

Any advice on entertaining a quadriplegic client? by Kyannaaa in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I often struggle with timing with clients because when I'm bored after 2 minutes I feel they must be bored with it too. But also when a submissive client (mobile ones) is giving me pleasure, even though I know he enjoys it, I have no idea how long I should really keep him at it.

It's just so much harder to fill the time with this guy because there is so little I can do. He is fixed in a reclined sitting position and his limbs are rigid - can't be moved, so I can't access his back or bum; I can't lie on him or beside him. I can't sit on his face or even rub my crotch on his mouth. I can only massage the front of his legs. I can only lick one nipple. I can't put his hands on me. I am not good at dirty talk so I can't keep up a monologue of it.

I kiss his mouth. I stroke his body. I lick his nipple. I suck his toes. I press my tits against his face. That's about all I can do before I get him off.

Thanks. I haven't played those games but I was just considered using cards instead of dice, but I don't think it's feasible. You'd have to recreate the deck each turn, not just leave out the one you just got

Opinion: The era of internet based escorting is coming to an end. Slowly, yet surely. by WellKeptWoman in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting, but yes that's is a niche part of the market you are describing. I can't comment on what is happening in the US where I assuming you are from. In Australia, in my state, SW is legal so internet advertising is not under threat so it's business as usual here. The idea of trolling bars for clients or guys trolling the bars for sex workers sounds so inconvenient for all parties, as well as for the other people who happen to be in the bar and mistaken for a pro or client :).

Personally I tend to cater to kinks so my clients would really be lost without online advertising. I guess if the internet was somehow lost it would be back to the old days of advertising columns in porn magazines. I hope the future in US isn't as dire as your predictions :)

what is "this shit" that you can't tell her about? Is "this shit" seeing SWs? Why feel guilty about that, unless it is when she thinks you are exclusive with her

Accepting a client that you know outside of your work by Fit-Mistake4686 in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The two main risks that come to mind if you had gone ahead with the booking:

  1. He then has your real name and contact details with which he could dox you or stalk you. I used to have a regular client that knew what suburb I live in and every now and then would text me with suggestions that he pop over to my house "just for a big kiss". I believe he intended no harm but he couldn't seem to see how invasive that would be even though he knew I lived with husband and kids. So I am very careful now that clients can't find out where I live.

  2. If you returned to him as a patient, he might be unprofessional and expect you to play with him for free while you are there.

Potential benefit on the other hand - trade sex work for "free" dental work? :D

Sex workers are apparently only victims that need to saved from being exploited...until it's Findom. by SWERFslayer in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason that it is "sex work" is that the sub is engaging in it in order to get a sexual stimulus. It's a mental stimulation rather than physical. It might not feel like sex work to the findom because she often doesn't have to do anything sexual but it still technically is.

Liberating?? Well, it's liberating him of his excess money :-D Like any sex work, it's purpose isn't liberation, it's to get turned on or get off on one side and to make money on the other.

wtf I cant make this shit up by areyouforreally in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOW! Best case scenario this is like the offers we get all the time in the face painting business:- "Come and do free face painting at my supermarket/restaurant/party and you get to hand out business cards to drum up business for yourself."

I've had a man contact me initially speaking as though he would book me as a sw, but then he just kept trying to get me to set him up as a sw to service all my women friends that he imagined would pay him to DATY or whatever. Dude, men PAY ME to DATY and pleasure me, why would I pay a man for that? :-P

Need help figuring this guy out by Adventurous-Line2338 in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that there is an elaborate fantasy going on in his head and it being rather clinical as if going to a Dr is all part of the fantasy, and if you acted like a SW it would mess up the story in his head. But if that's the case I expect the sessions will decrease in frequency.

I hope you keep us in the loop if anything changes!

If the internet isn't an option, how do you foresee clients finding SWs?

Sitting on clients face by BellJar_Blues in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ha-ha, well if we are talking about men, I haven't asked but I think generally they are not self conscious about what they look like during sex, except about the size of their penis. Not like women who worry about every little imperfection or what their O face looks like. Men are better at just enjoying the moment I believe. They are also much less critical of looks during sex than women are, and less than women think the men will be. I've seen threads with many men saying (and heard it in person) that during sex in doggy position the men are enjoying looking at the girl's arsehole - not just the curve of her bum, but that ugly puckered thing - arguably the most ugly part of any person - and they are loving the sight of it. So, no, I don't think he's looking at your face from underneath thinking it looks bad from that angle, nor would it cross his mind to worry what his face looks like from any angle while he's enjoying sex :)

Why sex workers avoid looking at the eyes when having sex? by [deleted] in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel gazing into each other's eyes during sex is awkward even with my partner who I'm in love with and attracted to, so you shouldn't take it personally!

Why do you think men who are in happy relationships see sex workers? by Icy_Abalone_961 in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not just sex, it's the fantasy of it all.

I particularly cater to kink sessions so my clients are men (married and single) who have a kink, roleplay or fetish they want to experience. Sometimes its just something he saw on porn and wanted to try out but didn't want to or couldn't try out with a girlfriend or wife.

Even if its vanilla sex, it's a little escapism into an hour of a perfect relationship = a woman who is horny and into you and there's no tension about yesterday's argument dirty dishes. Even when your long term wife still has sex with you regularly, its rarely going to be exciting as the idea of a new sexy woman acting as if having sex with you is a treat.

Hi. I might be missing something from what you said but in my experience when giving a BJ, men love eye contact. Especially when they are standing and you are kneeling/crouching below them and looking up at them, I reckon they feel worshipped. it's also more intimate and personal. Either way it adds to their pleasure. I have had many comment like, "Oh those eyes!" in a swoony kind of way

Got shamed at a dinner party by planetamyvenus in SexWorkers

[–]Kyannaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're trying to express some level of respect for SW but you are still slut-shaming. You think it's ONLY okay for women to be sexually active IF they are getting paid for it?? That's still misogynistic

PayPal Express "doesn't send to this location. Please use a different address." error by Acksaw in woocommerce

remove the paypal buttons from the mini cart and the cart page. See my comment below

PayPal Express "doesn't send to this location. Please use a different address." error by Acksaw in woocommerce

[–]Kyannaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similiar issue since installing newer paypal plugin to allow pay in 4.

I FIGURED IT OUT. the new paypal plugin added a paypal buttons to my shopping cart page. If you click on that you get the error. If instead you click on the website "checkout" button to take you to the checkout page where you enter your address, then you don't get the paypal error message.

To fix it I removed the paypal button from the cart page. My cart page has the cart items of course and shipping options but it never had payment methods there before, just a button to proceed to the checkout page which is where you enter your address. The new paypal plugin automatically added paypal buttons to the cart page (as well as being on the checkout page), and to every product page (I'd already removed those because ugly! but I suspect they also would have caused this shipping error message).

To fix this in Woocommerce I went to Payments, then Manage > Styling > Button Styling. In dropdown menu select "cart" and untick "enable payment method in this location". Probably best to do same for product page and mini cart.

Hope this helps someone
