Hey, Jessica, interesting story. Thanks for sharing (openly). I'm glad your out of camming for money. And have a decent boyfriend (who cares about you). Personally, I also don't like people who criticise sex workers, or porn stars. (As if nobody has ever had some naughty sexual desires. We are all just human).
It is becoming more challenging for people to find decent paying employment. In this mad world. With out resorting to doing things that make us feel uncomfortable. Nobody deserves to feel dehumanised. And as you said sex means different things to different people. What's comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for the next. There are some twisted people out there.
As a photographer I have often been tempted to capitalise on the sex industry. I guess...I could have made a financial fortune...by now?...Shooting porn. Even though I like sex. Some how shooting porn does NOT agree with my comfort levels. Of how I want to live and feel. More comfortable to keep the sex life personal. (without being boring) Rather stick to adventure photography...some things money can not buy. (You are fortunate to have...affection, love, connection)
Keep doing what makes you happy and comfortable. Trust steemit & crypto currency will provide the financial solutions for us all. Take care.
ps I resteemed your post...inspired!
Have you seen any of the famous female porn photographers out there? I saw a bunch for the first time watching the Netflix series/doc Hot Girls Wanted. Kind of an interesting take on the subject of "capitalizing on the sex industry."
Thanks for reading and following :) I followed back. Nice to get updates and news from a likeminded friend.
