So by all means, ban everyone you don't deem acceptable, pat yourself on the back, and you can keep this forum exactly how it is, I'm not worried.
    Most jobs at that pay level don't offer benefits. You miscalculated in your eagerness to be a smart arse.
    You've had 130 posts in 5 days - many of them demeaning. I know you've been here before so it's not surprising that you'd jump straight back into fray.

    I don't ban people for meaningful discussion - but I do ban them when they come here with agendas. If you're not worried, pipe down and enjoy the forum instead of typing without thinking.

    What headache?

    I absolutely understand ones opinion about something they haven't ever done. Everyone loves to speculate. That's just human nature to find patterns and try to put meanings to things.

    But. As someone who does live a life of porn. I can honestly tell you, from my personal perspective, that I have no headaches from doing the work I do.

    I unequivocally love my career and would not trade it for anything. I do not really escort much as per personal choice, but I do a lot of porn work. I make enough to live stably and I do not have any luxury pursuits. I.E. Material things such as expensive cars, jewelry, games, expensive trinkets, high priced clothes and perfumes, and the like. But that's just me. ( and not everyone is like me, but there are those who are quite similar )

    Yes, I do get headaches, but not from my work. I get them from other things such as too much coffee, or had slept oddly.

    A lot of girls will have escorting as their primary means of income. But the girls I know who escort, do it because they enjoy the work and the money. Don't get me wrong, I am sure some girls will have the occasional headache from dealing with certain clients. Also a fair amount of girls who do porn on the side, do hold regular jobs. Porn for them is supplemental income.

    And to close, I have held many jobs and careers, with wages/salaries ranging from 6.50/hr to 50.00/hr. But I have never cared for such work because of the headaches that comes along with it. Not to mention the lack of freedom and creativity. So to make generalized opinions on a whole group of people without first hand experience and living our lives, is a bit disrespectful because of the ignorance.

    No particular offense. Just stating the reality and helping to inform.

    Benefit Basics
    The law requires employers to provide employees with certain benefits. You must:

    Give employees time off to vote, serve on a jury and perform military service.
    Comply with all workers' compensation requirements.
    Withhold FICA taxes from employees' paychecks and pay your own portion of FICA taxes, providing employees with retirement and disability benefits.
    Pay state and federal unemployment taxes, thus providing benefits for unemployed workers.
    Contribute to state short-term disability programs in states where such programs exist.
    Comply with the Federal Family and Medical Leave (FMLA).

    I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm dead serious. A $12 hour an hour job it seems would leave you with similar pay to porn. Also as someone mentioned TGirls actually get paid more than most models. Now you're saying many of my posts are demeaning, and not only that, but I have TOO MUCH activity on the forum? That is funny. I am enjoying the forum, I suggest you spend less time worrying about what I'm doing and more time focusing on your own work. You say you're all in favor of promoting discussion but the moment someone says or does something you don't like, you White Knight Ban them, like the guy who called that fat woman ugly. What was your reasoning? "These girls have been bullied, and you're on here bullying a fat woman? BAN!" OH trust me, I think plenty, I simply am not going to frame my posts in a way that is kissing your ass.

    It isn't an opinion, the pay would be similar in a 40 hour a week job without the risk of death due to working in your field. There are risks to your line of work that don't exist in other lines of work. There is a reason soldiers are given hazard pay when they are in combat zones. You could, God forbid, contract a fatal disease doing porn, or escorting. That is what I call a headache. Disrespectful? No, pointing out that you have no benefits, no healthcare, no protection, no worker's compensation, and no ability to save for your future is called reality. The reality of the business you're in, just saying. I love your work, but I would love for you to be more stable while working. What are you going to do when you're 70 years old and you need massive medical treatments?

    You're still wrong on the money but I can't be arsed explaining why.
    If you don't understand why the guy took 30 days off the forum for bullying - then you don't get this place at all.

    Why have you came back here under a different name Tommy?

    I don't want my ass kissed, people rarely get banned, I'll argue my corner as long as people put across fair points - but you're basically talking out of your arse and I'm calling you on it - your flagging up all wrong coloured flags and I'm not the only one to spot it.
