Well, she's advertised as a pretty woman, not a smart one.

And now, with a little less jest: It's a stable income over a week, with a guy she evidently likes to at least look at. No need for advertising in that time. Meals are paid, as is time off. Also, the 21$ assume that she is paid 24 hours a day (3000$ ÷ 24 ÷ 6 = 20,83333...$) so she gets paid for sleeping, eating, essentially her own time. She also gets the opportunity to scout new, well off clients.

I would take that deal.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 5 days ago

If you calculated it as 8 hours a day of work it would work out to $62.5/hour

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

i mean it's just a discount like when you're buying things in bulk, it makes sense

[-] [email protected] 54 points 5 days ago

3k pays your rent in San Fran with cash left over in that time period...ur damn right she's hanging out with a rich dude and getting spoiled for a week and her rent paid. Mf out here acting like they're breaking down door dash hourly.

So... I guess she is a smart woman after all?

OTOH I hope OP is at least pretty.

6 days with 1 john is probably a lot less work than 30 1 hour sessions with varying johns. Also getting a discount when buying in bulk is pretty common with most goods. Not sure if it's so with sex work in real life tho.

[-] [email protected] 94 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It's definitely way less work. If you get hired for an hour, you're pretty much expected to be fully engaged in, if not sex, then at least being entertaining in some way. With the type of sex work she did, she was never getting paid for time spent sleeping or eating (and definitely not hanging out and shopping), unless that was someone's kink, I guess. I had a series of sugar daddies in my early 20s, and don't let anyone tell you that's not sex work, and I definitely made less per hour than a more traditional prostitute, but I also put in a lot less energy. Plus, it came with a lot more perks.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Also I don't think people realize how much time a (skilled / knowledgeable) sex worker spends vetting their clients. They're one of the easiest and therefore most common demographics targeted by people who literally just wanna rape-torture-murder someone for varying to absolutely no reason. As a result a lot of sex workers have shared blacklists, some ask for references, some do background checks, some don't work alone, etc. Only having to do that once or even not at all once the john is well-known is a huge time-and-effort saver, even if you ignore the fact that it's just literally safer to take a chance on one man murdering you instead of five.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

The only institution that performs more criminal and social background checks than the ATF and intelligence apparatus is America's network of communicating sex workers.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I'm genuinely not sure if this is in jest or not. The way I know this is common is that it's a common thread across human interest pieces about sex work. I grew up with those rare fundie parents that were big on education so anything they got weird about I just read about and they were more or less fine with that, so I just started reading about sex and have since gone on numerous multimonth ADHD hyperfixation learning binges about various aspects including both anatomy and physiology and the psychological and cultural ones. A good couple of them have either centered on or referenced sex work in some way. I don't think I'm brave enough personally but it's definitely fascinating.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Ya know how therea books of short stories by authors or a collection of authors?

You should totally do that with the numerous multimonth ADHD hperfixation learning binges you have gone on.

But just write like just write out from memory as if it was a short story.

Could collect from others like yourself and create anthologies of remembered knowledge. Like reviving or recreating an oral history like many people did in times of old

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I've been making obsidian vaults/notebooks actually! Earlier this year I made one about tarot cartomancy and what I guess you could call Christian Esotericism (connecting myself to many of the cultural traditions while eschewing most of the traditional bodies of authority) and right now I'm working on a basic/informal intro to DBT for people struggling to access talk therapies due to poverty and/or rural living.

Neat! Share if you release these pretty please!

Sex workers do sometimes offer reduced effective rates per hour for extended time.

Usually you're not gonna be allowed to offer for those unless you've spent time with that worker already and they've decided you can at least be trusted enough to not go psycho with enough time on hand.

By the time you're talking about overnight service, either they know ya and they like ya enough to spend an evening with you, or they're advertising the package openly because they're pretty confident that they can bring anyone who tries something funny down harder than a meteor, that kind of work makes folks stronk, and they ain't afraid to use that if you're fuckin' around.

Someone doesn't get the differences between contractor and salaried.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 4 days ago

To make that $3000 at her normal rate she would have had to work 30 hours in that same week, which I bet is a tall order for all the unpaid hours that takes attracting customers individually.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Not to mention her luxury room and board, the shopping sprees, and the jewelry gifts.

[-] [email protected] 91 points 5 days ago

But think how many fewer cocks it is to deal with.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Plot twist: Richard Gere was actually George Washington!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Non American here: I don't get it. How many cocks did Washington have?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Like, 30 dicks

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Oh I see. So he was like a proto-American Brian Blessed.

Yeah, like she has usually 8 clients a day...

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

well, $100 in 1990 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $240.30 today (source) so 21 usd/h should be about 50 usd/h today and the 62.5 usd/h calculated by @[email protected] should be 150 usd/h

[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

As others pointed out, a lot of factors would go into this decision. How many working hours can she normally put in if the average client only pays for an hour? How much time does she have to spend cleaning herself up between? How much risk is there in taking a new client?

Its pretty similar to working freelance compared to a paycheck. If I wanted to go on my own as a freelancer I could probably charge 2-3x my hourly salary rate as a freelancer. But I'd have to hunt for my next meal. I'd have to figure out all my 1099s. I'd have to change stragies to get new clients.... Or I can just work my current corpo job making an OK salary but always know I have a paycheck coming and insurance.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Its pretty similar

No, that was the sequel.

I mean one guy can only bust so many nuts.. now if she had a guy every couple hours filling her full of cum... Well you see now why she takes the cum sum instead of individual deposits..a lot more work

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 days ago

just a bulk purchase

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

With sleep, meals, etc included. She was even making money while pooping. This was clearly a win for her.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

I’m sure a lot of sex workers make money while pooping.

$3,000 was $7,209 in 2024 money (from 1990). $21/hr. would be $50 in 2024 money.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

Stop looking at those 'inflation adjustors' and look at what you could actually buy.

Average rent per month in Los Angeles in 1990 was under $600.00/month

Today it's over $2,000.00

If he paid her five months rent today, it would be $10,000.00, not $7,000.00

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Inflation has affected our country very differently in different locales. Change in cost of living is the real metric for what inflation is trying to quantify

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

That's why I stick with real world examples.

For example, the minimum wage in 1960 was $1.00/hour. The cost of the average home was $11,000.00

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago

Every time she puts on her Jammies, I imagine she’s excited to wake up 160 dollars richer.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

The cum to USD ratio is actually quite competitive

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Unless you do this in tacos, I'm not gonna check the math.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

If this was Taco Tuesday I'd do the math. But it's the weekend, so no.
