And since a SP cannot post in General section, thus this post is here.
In 2016, before my leaving of Esa, I had a wonderful lunch with a Punter off this site. . I am sure he will be reading this. I have a feeling he is still active if not punting, observing and ...posting too?
We got to speaking about the challenges facing SP's. At that time we spoke about the failing economy, how hard times were and the impact it would have on the Adult space....especially the SP's.
Who would have imagined all that still had to come.
It had not even been a year that I had been in the sensual space, having joined mid 2015.
Mine was an entry into the world of fuckery due to my stupidity of wanting to make my money work for me, instead of I work for my money any longer, the near loss of all I had worked hard for and earned, needing to generate good income real quick.
I studied this space. I had no idea what it entailed . I knew , like any space one works in, competition would be stiff.
I am that sort trying very hard not to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
I thought I had educated myself enough when it came to these "things" and 4 months later put my advert up....hesitant , concerned and feeling foolish not willingly admitting desperate to save all I had.
So...with every factual real reason as to what I suggested , would not work, when it came to setting up some sort of infrastructure to help SP's when in need, I rebutted my lunch companions statements as to why it could.
I had to learn very quickly I knew nothing about the fuckery space and that my romanticism of how one could put a system in place to help SP's when in need, was foolish and full of loopholes and would never have worked....THEN.
Coming from a formal professional background, procedures and policies are a given.
Pensions, medical aid... just to name 2 are not strange phenomena and when one "grows" up in an environment where value of money is taught, frugal spend, saving and....going without when needed..is a given , it is difficult to imagine they are not a given in the space of one of the oldest "professions" of all time.
There was a reason I had to have that lunch.
There is a reason now in 2022 I look back at my naive 2016 RB and realise me, the so-called pragmatic romantic, was so off target and had no f#cking clue how off I was.
This is a special place, the Adult World, not accepted or taken seriously or legally recognised BUT, it does not mean procedures and policies cannot be put in place to create a formal system to assist SP's in real trouble.
If ever there was a time one should bring a community together to work toward standing in for each other...now is the time.
All good things take careful planning snd consideration and, I know for a fact, highly qualified professionals are to be found looking in, that could become part of a powerful organized NP organization solely to assist SP's .
I am not leaning toward safe homes or dealing with tragic cases of rape etc.
I am leaning toward financial assistance and betterment...a platform where one can be vetted for financial assistance, jobs , education and the like.
Many may not lean toward needing such a space and then...many might.
And....looking at the high level of cash flow restraint, why not assist in placing a vetted SP in a space she can build a long term sustainable future for herself in a different way?
I truly truly truly hope this will be considered as a point worthy of thought and application and hope I shall be part of that team and be included in researching applying and working toward that 'turnkey' solution that IS achievable.
Am I romanticising again ...? I don't think so.
There are many real Knights in shining armour and Maidens with much to offer that I know could make this a reality.
Baby steps are good but, they need to be made and, why not?
RB.

One option is to find a trustworthy financial advisor that is either a punter or non-judgemental.
Work with him/her to build a portfolio suited for WGs that can allow ladies to start planning for their futures.

@Russian Bridget & 2old2. i love you guys. this has been on my mind for a while just ddnt know how to put it across. there are a lot os Sps who are hungry for growth,I included, not only in this industry but in the life outside of this life but just do not know what to do or how to do it, where to start, how to save, or if you have managed to save, what to do with your savings. such thread mayb may be even be an eye opener to an someone who has been in the comfort zone thinking this is the life.
"This preconceived idea, this push to paint SP's as desperate uneducated druggies with no self worth or morals is the reason the excellent majority are getting nowhere.
Every work space has its bad apples and the incentive is there for those who want to excel or plan a change.
Why should it any different for a SP?
Now....to change that belief.
Fuckery ain't any finer if the SP is of top shelf....nor is it less passionate and kinky."
you couldnt have said it any better.
