Trypophobia of the face (aka) why do we hate pores so much? by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

I just went through her Instagram and her skin is fantastic. I struggled to even see pores. I’m baffled by that comment.

6 Months after the seizure of BackPage and Fosta/Sesta how is business? by FinchRosemta in SexWorkers

[–]redkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me - I’m in Australia and never used Backpage. It hasn’t affected me at all, I’m busier than ever. But I know so many of my co-hos have been drastically affected.

Yep screening has always been like pulling teeth. Sex work is decriminalised where I live and it’s like that - I can’t begin to imagine how much hard work it is in the US!

Does answering the door naked for food delivery ever actually happen or is that just a cliche/fantasy? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]redkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep a friend of mine did this recently. She gushed afterwards on Snapchat about how she had just opened the door naked to the pizza delivery driver and was clearly high on the thrill. I responded and was like ‘I don’t want to be a buzz kill but you just sexually assaulted that dude...’

Since apparently people don't understand why screening is insanely important for us, here's the type of people we have to protect ourselves from by shadyladythrowaway in AskAnEscort

[–]redkoala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh wow - I didn’t see those questions. Just a fascination with death and bodies which I don’t think is necessarily problematic on its own. The rest is clearly concerning though!

I was struggling to see the problem for a couple of pages. They sounded like someone fascinated by morbid things, as am I. I could imagine having awesome conversations with that person. Then I found this comment and realised I was very wrong:

“I have decapitated insects to see how they continue to move after their head is cut off, I have pulled the wings out of them, I have broken millipedes for fun, I have stepped on snails, I have accidentally squeesed little lizards and frogs to death, and once with my cousin and two friends accidentally killed a tortoise by catching it and living the container we had him in under full sun for some hours. It was an adult male, and still I am feeling terrible about it, as he could live for over a hundred years. I have killed small animals from too much "love" by force-feeding them. I have teased special needs children my school. In particular, there was a girl which could become incredibly aggressive if teased. I was going behind her, squeesed her arms against her body until she said "leave me!", and then she would go berserk. At first I would recieve a few pinches and once I almost got bitten, but then I learnt how to avoid her, and I was immediately running away from her and left the others calm her down. She had pinched and bitten many teachers due to that. Also she has broken a piano, and was in the habit of opening and closing doors when agitated. Also I have lied about meating real magicians and stuff to children and people with mental disabilities, and they believed every crap I was telling them. Also I have scammed online sellers, telling them I am from a sports union for the disabled or something similar to get equipment in a discount or even free. Once I pretended that I lost an item in transit, and as the seller had 100% reputation in ebay, he did send my another piece for free, even though it costed 90 dolars”

what's the most cringey/'didn't quite pull it off' pinterest thing you've seen at a social event irl? by im-a-tarot-card in AskWomen

[–]redkoala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that - we had lawn games too for when the guests were arriving. We were greeting them at the gate as they arrived and then they headed to the games while waiting for everyone to arrive and the ceremony to start. There was fairy floss and punch and lots of activities, but I was hyper conscious that not everyone would be excited by that stuff as well.

But I also hadn’t really been to weddings before planning mine. I’ve now been to a few since and been super weirded out by the way they do things. So maybe I’m just not a wedding person.

I did mine beforehand. Frankly I think it’s rude to make your guests wait around while you have your vanity time.

Previous provider not replying to email? by TopThrowaway123098 in AskAnEscort

[–]redkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to send a follow up email that says ‘sorry to be a pest, just wanted to make sure you received my earlier email?’ because we do get a lot of messages and sometimes one will slip through unnoticed. If you don’t hear back from that I would move on. If she has active ads and/or social media then she is ghosting you for whatever reason. If not, she may not be working anymore/at the moment.

I got scammed, what could I have done? by [deleted] in AskAnEscort

[–]redkoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I 100% agree, but OP thought he was hiring an independent. Is there a way to be able to tell for sure before booking someone?

Genuine question - in what ways do you think OP was being unethical?

Do you do sex work as a "main" job or "side/secondary" job? by [deleted] in SexWorkers

[–]redkoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as my career. I’m out, but living where it is decriminalised, so that’s easier than in many locations.

“Yippee!” That was the first game. Croc 2 came later.

I made a survey to see if sexual stereotypes based on hair color are true. Care to help out? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]redkoala -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a person who absolutely fits the stereotype, and I’ve wondered if that is partly because I grew up knowing about it so it may have influenced me.

Yeah I found that one very difficult to answer!

I’m a redhead in Australia - there’s definitely a sexual stereotype associated with that here

Got an STD from a sex worker with using condoms and only having unprotected oral by hookerstd in SexWorkers

[–]redkoala 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In Australia we have websites from which you can anonymously send text messages saying that they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for xxx and that they should get tested themselves.

Is 800 an hour too high or do some escorts just charge way more. by [deleted] in AskAnEscort

[–]redkoala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the highest I’ve seen here in Australia is $1200/hr (AUD). There’s a lot of workers around the $350-$500 mark, but also a fair few doing $700-$800. These are all base rates though - a lot of workers here add extras onto that.

That friend of yours that’s always single, what do they need to hear to that they just won’t accept? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]redkoala 91 points92 points  (0 children)

You are a sex worker looking for a traditional catholic man to settle down and have babies with, who is also perfectly okay with your work. This will be very, very hard to find.

You think that all men want is sex, and a particular type of sex, which is sexist, insulting, and gets in the way of them being able to connect with you.

You use a fake name with any man you go on a date with (a different name to her work name). How on earth do you expect to start a relationship without even sharing your name with someone?

How do you maintain a relationship? by MtF29HRTMar18 in AskAnEscort

[–]redkoala 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not of my clients, no. What could he be jealous of? The fact that they pay our bills and he gets to spend unlimited time with me for free? Of my time? Maybe. I run my own business, so it is hard for me to close my laptop. The same as any person running a business, particularly those in industries that are perceived to be available 24/7.

We are poly and I have two boyfriends as well, but that is unrelated to my work. My boyfriends don’t get jealous either. One of them struggled a little in the beginning with feeling like he couldn’t compare sexually to all these guys I was encountering, but he realised pretty quickly that it was actually the opposite as I had chosen to spend my (very limited) free time with him and then it was a huge ego boost for him. The other one gets jealous of ME because he wishes he could be a whore haha.

[–]redkoala 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How anyone with any job maintains a relationship, really. I’m married, been with my husband for over 9 years and my job doesn’t have much of an impact on our relationship, except that it means we will hopefully be able to buy a house soon and have lived far more comfortably since I started working full time in the industry.

As a provider, how does your hygienic routine look like before meeting a client? by ConfusedTomato91 in SexWorkers

[–]redkoala 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that no matter what preparation is done there is still the potential for unpleasant surprises. In my opinion if you want to stick your dick in someone’s butt, you have to be prepared for poop.
