Guys, I’ve been hearing a lot about the site http://www.sharesome.com/ that seems to specialize in NSFW and explicit content. Blog format just like this, you can follow people, post what you want (even VIDEOS that won’t be removed!), and interact with a community. I just joined for free, and it looks like they’re working on ways to import Tumblr blogs. Let’s go! Find me there under kbrettsox
Just realized you can tailor your dashboard according to the topics you like. Follow a certain topic/tag (like redheads, hung guys or black men) and posts will magically appear in your feed. Also, links of videos to say PH for example EMBED. So they play from your profile. Downside is I don’t yet see an app or mobile site.

daily reminder that ‘porn addiction’ is a myth perpetuated by far right evangelical groups.
As long as your porn consumption is not interfering with your work or social life, it’s considered normal.
Actual psychology research shows that people who identify as ‘porn addicts’ don’t actually consume more porn than average. What do they have in common? They were raised to view sex as shameful.
It’s also commonly used as a way to avoid taking responsibility. The number of men I’ve seen saying “porn MADE me misogynistic, porn MADE me dehumanize women, porn MADE me see women as objects, porn MADE me sexually harass women.”
On the flip side, I’ve also seen women blaming porn for the same reason. Instead of. You know. Misogynistic, dehumanizing abusers.
Porn is often used as the scapegoat for a lot of problems in our world, I’ve often thought it’s the equivalent of people saying video games causes mass shootings and a rise in violence.
There’s also a good bit of evidence and studies saying an availability to porn (as well as prostitution) has shown a link to decreased sexual violence.
i’m just glad these kinds of myths only exist among far right evangelicals like could you imagine how pathetic it would be if leftists thought certain kinds of porn could taint your mind making you inevitably become some sort of awful abuser? but surely nobody would believe such a thing and ostracize people for that kind of stuff while also regularly spreading around posts like this lol
The good news is that Covid contributed to large swaths of the industry basically being rebuilt from the ground up.
Platforms like OnlyFans, Fansly, Justforfans and others were already on the rise, but when the pandemic hit ALL the performers that previously did in person studio work were pushed onto these platforms out of necessity.
What does that mean? It means now more than ever, sex workers decide what content WE want to make, when we make it, and with whom. AND we retain the copyright to our own content. Many of the big adult stars have not returned to in person studio work because they make MORE money and have more control over their content than ever. Those that have returned to studio work, do so when a project is interesting or when it includes people we want to work with. I’ve been approached by a studio I will probably work with because their attention to my consent and comfort has been immense.
I think labor rights are more important than anything when it comes to the intimate work that sex workers do, because it can be so much more traumatic when things aren’t done right. Giving sex workers more autonomy and control is the best solution to these problems, and thankfully that is the state of most of the industry today! Porn isn’t what it was 10 years ago and that’s a fantastic thing!
Stop being such an entitled douche and compensate women for the service they are providing you, or shut the fuck up about it.
This blog supports sex workers.
She’d eat any kind of pasta she could get her hands on—elbow, bow-tie, fettuccine, angel hair. You name it, she’d eat it, and was addicted to it. And the sauce scene, well that was a whole separate addiction. From Bolognese to pesto, Marianna had never tasted a sauce she didn’t love. But her favorite was marinara. That’s why she had changed her last name to, wait for it, Marinara. It was also the ideal complement to her exotic dancing persona, Basilica Marinara.
Among the many ironies about Marianna was that she possessed a job that required her body to be at least marginally attractive, and yet, she was obsessed with a food that completely negated this possibility. Hence, her coke addiction. It wasn’t a stripper cliche she wanted to embody, but she genuinely needed it in order to offset her daily pasta intake.
One minute you would find Marianna in her butter pat-sized East Village kitchen whipping up carbohydrate-laden dreams you could never even imagine unless you tasted them, and the next you’d see her in the bathroom blowing rails like her life depended on it. Yes, Marianna had two terrible yin and yang addictions, each one supporting the other. Sometimes, she would be so enmeshed in her routine that she would accidentally snort up an errant piece of spaghetti laying on the kitchen table.
It got to a point where she couldn’t do anything without incorporating pasta. Whether it was part of her onstage routine or her sex life, this food group needed to be a part of it. Her pasties were shaped like meatballs, her bras featured plates of spaghetti on each cup, her underwear had days of the week pasta images on the crotch. She was fast becoming known as “the stripper with a fetishist audience.” Marianna also tried to join a religious sect known as the Pastafarians, but even they couldn’t match her uncontrollable zeal.
Soon, her passion was beginning to affect her relationships. Every time one of the other strippers suggested going out to dinner, she would instantly shout, “Russo’s Mozzarella and Pasta!,” her favorite place in the East Village. They would all shoot her a look like she was Junior fucking Soprano to their stripper mafia–an old relic of a non-anorexia era that needed to be done away with. You see, when these girls said dinner, they meant dancing, they meant drinking, they meant anything except actually eating.
Marianna was ultimately ostracized for her food choices, left to feel insecure and inhuman for her pasta lust. This eventually led her to quit the strip club, hole up in her apartment and eat without supplementing her cuisine with coke. She became so zaftig that she couldn’t get another job, least of all as a sex worker. But it didn’t matter, the pasta still beckoned.
The fact was, she would take it any way she could get it. Even if it meant being fat, even if it meant getting it from the Olive Garden. Nothing else mattered. When once she was just an ordinary slore, now she was a pasta slore–hopeless and addicted, waiting to die from diabetes or a heart attack or the sheer and utter loneliness of no one ever being able to understand her need. So be it, she thought. She would be buried in a mound of her favorite cuisine, wrapped in it like a mummy. And this act would be the most affordable funeral rite ever given.

I am proud of the work I’ve done as part of theWomen’s March policy table – a collection of women and folk engaged in crucial feminist, racial and social justice work across various intersections in our country. I helped draft the visionandI wrote the line “…and we stand in solidarity with sex workers’ rights movements.” It is not a statement that is controversial to me because as a trans woman of color who grew up in low-income communities and who advocates, resists, dreams and writes alongside these communities, I know that underground economies are essential parts of the lived realities of women and folk. I know sex work to be work. It’s not something I need to tiptoe around. It’s not a radical statement. It’s a fact. My work and my feminism rejects respectability politics, whorephobia, slut-shaming and the misconception that sex workers, or folks engaged in the sex trades by choice or circumstance, need to be saved, that they are colluding with the patriarchy by “selling their bodies.” I reject the continual erasure of sex workers from our feminisms because we continue to conflate sex work with the brutal reality of coercion and trafficking. I reject the policing within and outside women’s movements that shames, scapegoats, rejects, erases and shuns sex workers. I cannot speak to the internal conflicts at the Women’s March that have led to the erasure of the line I wrote for our collective vision but I have been assured that the line will remain in OUR document. The conflicts that may have led to its temporary editing will not leave until we, as feminists, respect THE rights of every woman and person to do what they want with their body and their lives. We will not be free until those most marginalized, most policed, most ridiculed, pushed out and judged are centered. There are no throwaway people, and I hope every sex worker who has felt shamed by this momentarily erasure shows up to their local March and holds the collective accountable to our vast, diverse, complicated realities.
countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. that’s like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit ‘swerfy’ to completely ignore that
Why would trafficking increase when you have legalized prostitution.
Because if prostitution is legal, demand increases. And if it is legal, pimps and traffickers have more room to exploit and sell women under the guise of legal sex work.
In fact, in countries where it is legal, pimps and brothel owners are considered sex workers themselves.
Just because you legalize prostitution doesn’t mean women are going to be anymore willing to do it, but more men expect to go to prostitutes, so the demand for prostitution increases. Where do you get prostitutes if women aren’t willing to be them? you kidnap and traffick them!!
Thank you for explaining this so concisely. I always thought trafficking would decrease if prostitution was legalized, so this is good to know.
it’s worth pointing out that Germany, who’s always touted as very progressive for legalizing prostitution and instituting prostitution unions, has become the human trafficking hub of Europe since those laws were implemented.
In 2009, there were around 900 victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands. In 2017, there were over 6000 and this number is estimated to fall prey to human trafficking every year. Over 4000 are sex slaves and over 1000 are children. This is getting progressively worse. I honestly cannot believe people aren’t educated that this legalization adds to an increase in human trafficking. Isn’t it obvious that’s how the world works? Also, men don’t care. I remember a post over here with men that were going to prostituted children and one of them was saying “I don’t care to know how the sausage is made”. That should tell you everything you need to know if you’re still having doubts about which side of the barricade you should choose.
The notes on this post gave me 17 types of cancer. The fucking mental gymnastics people will pull to justify men’s right to pay to rape women is just staggering.
People in the notes keep saying “correlation does not mean causation” as if that means correlation will never apply causation. But I think the causation between prostitution and trafficking is pretty clear so…I don’t know why people want to live in a world so badly where women can be bought and sold
Important to note: there’s a difference between legalizing prostitution and decriminalizing it for the actual women being prostituted. You can decriminalize so that women feel safe seeking help without thinking they’ll be thrown in jail while still prosecuting those who buy and sell women.
(And not to be that person but there are a lot of wonderful men out there working tirelessly to end human trafficking as well, not every man hates women like those men)

Can I have more sex worker/SB friends?
Can we travel around Europe laughing about salty men?
Can we watch movies, having ice-cream and fucking cry about all the men that fucked us over in our lives?
Can we be there for each other and push ourselves to do better?
Can we go freestyling to expensive hotels in Paris and make rich men pay us stuff?
Can we be roommates and have a fucking amazing apartment, all payed by our stupid ass richest SD?
Don’t tell me you don’t fantasise about this.
Has been my No.1 Fantasy for months!but for a German it’s even harder to find like minded company
Voting for establishing European hoe syndicate
I’m so down! I haven’t found any girls here in Paris
Men think because you’re a sex worker you’re automatically desperate.
Listen! I will turn you down if I don’t want to see you.
I will not meet with you if you talk in a specific way that screams “bum”.
I will not meet with you if you’re not within the age bracket that I’m comfortable with.
I will not meet with you if you’re requesting things I simply don’t want to do.
I will not meet with you if you’re rude and degrading.
I have options. I make the choices. I make the rules. Period.
Sex workers have been organizing for decriminalization and autonomy in India in MASSIVE numbers for decades but swerfs in the western world (tbh including a lot of rich and/or upper caste diaspora “activists” ive encountered) will keep acting like 3rd world sex workers are feeble silent victims who need to be rescued (aka policed and criminalized). Anyways just for starters read about the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee whose programs include, among other things, a banking cooperative run by and for sex workers in West Bengal so they can have control over their own finances, sports teams for the children of sex workers and other marginalized communities,robust health education and HIV prevention resources, and a creative and performing arts wing.
In the latest edition of the video game series Grand Theft Auto you can approach a female sex worker, choose what sexual act to engage in from a price list ($50 for a blow job, $70 for a half-and-half, $100 for everything), engage in the chosen act (and thus increase your life points), pay, and then kill the sex worker and get your money back.. You cannot, however, play a female character. The creators of Grand Theft Auto V have made it very clear: women are objects to be toyed with, not human beings.
This game, which allows the player to enter first-person mode, not only objectifies women, and particularly sex workers, it glorifies and trivialises violence against women. It turns it all into fun and games. The game allows you to kill a sex worker for no particular reason. It makes it cool to buy services from a sex worker and then physically harm her. It even rewards you for these acts!
Video game creators are free to create any scenarios and universes they want, yet this is what they choose to create. And this is what people chose to play. The existence of this game and its popularity are clearly a reflection of the misogyny in our society. There’s no doubt, we’re a long way from gender equality.
Theresa Knorr – The Worst Mother In The World
Sacramento, California-
Theresa Cross Knorr’s mother passed away from a heart attack when the girl was only 15, and her father had Parkinson’s disease. She dropped out of school and married her first husband, Clifford Sanders, at the tender age of 16. In 1964 Clifford decided to leave his pregnant wife, she’d been too promiscuous for his liking. As the man was walking towards the door, Theresa shot and killed him; she claimed it was self defense, and this was how the killer got away with her first murder.
We can’t say that the boys weren’t abused, because they were. The kids were beaten with a board, repeatedly burnt with cigarettes, and used as human dart boards with knives thrown at them. They were subjected to manual labor out in the sun for days on end, and purposely denied the right to sleep. More than once child protective services were called, but nothing was ever done to save these kids. Still, the boys didn’t suffer anywhere near as much as their female siblings. The oldest son, Howard, couldn’t stand living in that house, nor the torture inflicted upon his sisters at the hands of their mother. He left, and that’s when things really went to hell for the girls. One by one they were forced into prostitution, and eventually two of the girls lost their lives….
