You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
Jesus loving Christ, I feel so much better about myself after reading this.

August is the Cruelest Month

quote:

After high school I worked as a bouncer at a really lovely strip club in a really bad neighborhood. One of those places that made the news every few weeks for a shooting or stabbing.

I started casually dating one of the girls, which was a big mistake. Her ex (or possibly still current) boyfriend attacked me one night with a gun. He tackled me to the ground and tried to shove the gun in my face. I was convinced I was going to die.

I fought back with all my strength and started turning the gun away from my head. It went off and blew off half his head. My casual girlfriend was watching everything.

That was 7 years ago and it still sticks with me. I didn't get any jail time - there was a surveillance camera that caught everything, it was self defense/an accident, and he had a criminal record a mile long while I was spotless.

But I'm still dating that girl, mostly because we feel obligated to after an incident like that. We don't love each other, we kind of barely tolerate each other. We don't even live together after 7 years - we'll just do one date a week, have some mechanical sex, and say goodbye. Maybe it's not really even dating, who knows.

My life kind of fell apart after that moment, but I'm too scared to go to therapy and dig it up again. This confession helped a lot, though

quote:

Hi "hobbyist". I am a real sex worker. If you live in a major city not on a coast, it is very plausible we've encountered each other, even if only in passing.

Your "hobby" is what lets me eat a frozen pizza for dinner if I am lucky. Your "hobby" is how I can hopefully scrape together enough to pay off bills that are months past due. If I am lucky, your "hobby" will only be my livelihood for a few months again, like it was the last time I was in this game.

I am lucky because I can aim towards escaping the industry for a timespan on the order of "months to years". Not all the sex workers you patronize are so lucky.

I was going to say maybe they live some place with obscene housing prices, but they specifically say a major city 'not on the coast' and I can't think of anywhere that's as bad as NY or LA.

Also yadda yadda what's a struggling sex worker doing browsing a paid forum and spending the money on a internet connection when a frozen pizza is 'lucky'.

Well the way she talks ("major city", getting enough to get out of the "industry" in a few months etc) she sounds like she considers herself a "high class" escort which probably don't have a pimp as often as the street level ones. But at the same time there's the frozen pizza thing so nothing is adding up unless there's a huge unspoken "I can only buy the pizza because I spent the rest on heroin" story they aren't telling.

Or they're making it up and just wanted to call that guy a piece of poo poo

Why does the sex worker just get a legal job? I have a legal job and I eat better than frozen pizza and I am not angry. With my low skill job I can buy some cabbage and some pork and eat a nice meal. I also thought that prostitutes charged a lot of money, like a hundred dollars or more for an hour? I seen in a TV shows that they do this. Is this not reality? :confused:

Actually, now that I think about it, it is most likely a morally outraged person.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
There was a confession a while back that casually dropped a ladygoon being willing to get her tubes tied so her bf/husband wouldn't need a vasectomy. Vasectomies are way less invasive and cheaper and have almost no recovery time where he'd miss work. It's like four hours in the hospital and a day with an icepack afterwards. There's just a weird social stigma that they're only for dudes who already have four kids and can't afford another.

Also, that vasagel thing should be hitting the market in like two years.

In the US, restaurant choices range from McDonald's to like Per Se, but obviously restaurants aren't distributed evenly between the ends of the scale. Most people think they're really treating themselves when they go to Ruby Tuesday's, and Red Lobster is the ultimate in classiness. So it's kind of dumb to be like "you work in the same industry as Per Se how are you not rich??" Don't be surprised to meet the Applebees of sex workers, or that they aren't having a great time.

That's not a very nice thing to say about prostitutes (err, is everyone calling them "providers" now or just weirdos?), I hope there are plenty who don't do drugs, although maybe it is necessary to take drugs to deal with people who consider you a "provider"?

You know I'm not sure if I've ever seen any prostitute marketing. Apart from maybe just standing on a corner or something. I mean I don't receive emails, phone calls, get stuff in my facebook feed, etc. Maybe they do guerrilla marketing, you know just post stuff on the forums to make you horny somehow?

August is the Cruelest Month

quote:

I used to work for an extraordinarily large company and for reasons that will become evident in this story I need to do everything I can to not allude to who it is.

I took a job with them doing something I didn't like for less money than I wanted because they promised me that I'd be in a much better position making significantly more within a year.

They were in the middle of expanding in to something new that they had never done before and they reached out to me and poached me from my current position because of my extensive history with launching platforms like they were about to launch, and my general attitude and personality meshed very well with the company and what they were hoping to accomplish. They initially told me that I'd be a key decision maker in the development of their new branch, but when I started I ended up filling an entry-level position where upper management would occasionally pull me away from my low-level duties and ask me how to handle certain situations regarding either the product or the development of the business. They were impressed enough with my initial work that I mostly escaped those low-level duties entirely, I ended up developing two major teams from them while making barely-above minimum wage, I was a part of most of the hiring for these two teams, determined what platforms we would be using for what we were doing, coordinated with IT to get things set up, built policies and did documentation for the two teams.

This is the part where it gets weird. This was a very large company and our products were available globally. There was a lot of money and nepotism floating around above me and the focus was on protecting the brand image rather than providing a better product. The use of our product around the world was linked to all kinds of sketchy things, most of them having no roots in the company itself. One of the two teams I developed was a clandestine specialist team responsible for handling contact with third-parties such as police officers who needed specifics of how our systems worked or wanting us to be involved in investigations, celebrities who had contacted us for whatever reason, taking and producing "incident reports" and then also hiding the company's dirty laundry to mitigate impact to our PR agency.

The entire team was poached from other companies and full of solid employees who were worth a lot more than they were paying us (which was below the poverty line). We had backgrounds ranging from an ex-celebrity to a professional athlete to members of law enforcement, and some people who had done huge things for even huger corporations. Then there was me, the guy with a high-impact background in a field they needed and a resume full of lies, but as the team grew and I saw these people with such professional backgrounds I began to warn management that they needed to pay us more. They kept promising more pay and as time went on it became evident that it wasn't coming.

By this point the team had so much abhorrent poo poo filtered through us that many of us were developing problems outside of work. It drove one guy to relapse back in to an addiction he had been clean of for years, most of the married team members were divorced by the end of the year. We'd be involved in police investigations related to our product which were usually emotionally traumatic as well as in hiding reports that executives or investors were involved in rapes, assaults or worse. Morale dropped as pay stayed the same and stress rose. They didn't replace people who quit so we soon had a crushing backlog of work to do.

I left after a couple years but the company has gone out of their way to make my life hell since I have. They didn't want me to leave and they were doubly-upset that I left over pay, because they kept promising I'd get more eventually.

Their corporate ethic involved a lot of finding ways to avoid laws and regulations and they've been using this against me, as well as others who had quit I later found out. I can't post too many specifics about what they've done to me because they're very good about finding information leaks online, shutting them down and prosecuting whoever posted them, and they're the flavor of malicious where they probably want to go after me just for fun.

This has involved of course blacklisting me and telling future employers not to hire me, members of their organization harassing my personal acquaintances on social media, a compromise of a bank account that shared a password only with a work account, my identity being stolen twice, I've been denied important legal documents, etc.

"Wow, that sounds horribly illegal!" you might find yourself thinking, and yeah it is. But my job was to bury stories of their executives physically crippling people they didn't like, company-sanctioned plans to ruin ex-employees lives, etc., so I can't do anything about it.

I've been scared to ever tell anyone so when friends or family ask me about my time with such a recognizable company I tell them all kinds of awesome things about how amazing the job was and I faked a psychological condition and had myself institutionalized for a month so that I could have a plausible story to give my friends/family for leaving such a prestigious job.

quote:

The Chinese hater here. After I wrote my initial confession where I said how much I hate Chinese people and how I have violent fantasies I saw how crazy and bigoted it made me look. I still have issues where I get irrationally angry at Chinese people, as it's not exactly an on/off switch. But now at least I'm aware of how hosed up my thoughts are and I can start to work through them. So if you think SA doesn't do anything good, at least it helped me start dealing with my issues.

Eat poo poo and die

I really, really do not want to come off as judgmental here, but...

I understand how most sex workers (in the United States at least) are forced into this industry through extreme poverty, drug addiction, or trafficking; however, there are some sex workers who started out middle class and engage in sex work because they are lucky enough to make more money doing it than their day job, they enjoy it, or because they cannot stand the idea of not having a middle class lifestyle, but do not have the training they need to get a middle class sustaining job.

Which brings me to this post. If you hate your clients so much, maybe you shouldn't be a sex worker. If it's true that you live off of frozen pizza and barely pay your bills then, fair enough, you hate what you do; here is the thing... there a lot of people in the United States, millions upon millions in fact, in a similar economic situation and they are literally not sex workers.

In other words, unless you are being forced by a drug habit, very extreme poverty, or you are being trafficked, you do not have to be a sex worker. Perhaps if you have such strong negative feelings about the work you do, you should find a "normalized" profession. Lots of people will pay you $10 an hour. You'll probably have to work more often and you will still barely get by, but you won't have to sell yourself to anyone.

quote:

Dear thread i confess to enjoy seeing people in emotional distress. I am not a sadist in the sense that i get hard when i see physical pain. But there is something about seeing people dealing with loss and despair that makes me giddy. I remember watching the news after a massacre that all of you will have heard of. A mom was talking about losing her son who was just 18 when he was shot to death. Her voice was trembling, the anguish was really bare and open to the world . I felt euphoric and energized seeing this. I have had the same reaction many other times. This is probably how Nazi death camp guards felt as they watched jews being marched into the gas chamber. The warm ash from the last batch still drifting down like snow around them.


My amateur psychologist reading of this is that i fail to experience intense emotions directly.
So instead i invest myself in the suffering of others. Just like a cuckold enjoys seeing another man having sex with his partner. His own desires are lived out and satisfied by proxy more effectivly then if he had hosed her himself. Something like that migth be going on with me.

quote:

I want to gently caress my boss.

Now that I have your attention, she's technically not my direct supervisor but she's a VP and the most senior employee at the site where I work. And she is a grade-A MILF- tall, thin, big tits, brunette, always wearing heels and only 40 years old (I'm in my late 20s for context); I wouldn't be surprised to learn she was a model 10-15 years ago. I have to walk by her office to clock in/out and for lunch and the view is wonderful, and if she talks to me I have to fight really hard not to trip over my words. It's like I'm back in high school and she's the hot girl that talks to me every once in a while.

Posting this here mostly because I have no means of venting it anywhere else. My company has an extra-wide definition of sexual harassment and most of my co-workers are women anyway, and the one former co-worker I still talk to also still talks to some of my current co-workers. And my wife just can't appreciate a good MILF the way I do. But God she's a babe. I will almost certainly never actually have sex with her but a man can dream.

I spend a ton of time on F-List roleplaying as an anthro horse man. For those who don't know, F-List is a roleplaying chatroom website focused on pretty much all the extreme kinks. I find anthro women to sexy and it's easily my weirest fetish. I know I'm odd as hell, but I'm nothing compared to the average deviant on that website.

That being said, I think anyone who claims to be otherkin is clearly mentally ill. I only picked a horse man because I wanted a character that lots of women would want to do sexual roleplay with. (I was right.) The extent of my furriness is pretty much entirely looking at pictures and roleplaying. Not a member of any forums, think fursuits are retarded and would seem completely normal if you knew me.

My favorite characters to roleplay with are anthro versions of My Little Pony characters. Especially Rarity.

Posters who are not just wrong about me but laughably wrong: Shayu, both for not understanding why "just get a legal job" might be difficult for someone, and for being the guy who thinks Applebee's is the height of class. $100 is my rate for head only. There are girls who can pull $1k+/hour for full service, although I'm definitely not one of them.

loquacious, most hobbies don't require dealing with weird misogynistic fantasies and gross dicks. I've had some really nice, respectful clients, but they're VERY rare. Also, these confessions are totally separate from my advertising - my client-facing persona is the total opposite of how I'm talking here.

That's part of why I'm writing in again, I guess. Because pretending to be a hooker who ~loves her job~ gets really boring and exhausting. Because it's too early for me to start drinking so I don't feel like finding someone to see yet today. Because I'm also mentally ill as gently caress, and getting fired while I was already behind on bills has thrown me into a total spiral, and I didn't want to go back to doing sex work, but hey. I can't really afford to get evicted right now!

Y'all who can't understand why I treat a frozen pizza as a luxury, as opposed to spending that $5 on more loving eggs and bread that I can stretch over way more meals: I sincerely hope none of you ever know what this feels like. I nearly killed myself earlier this week. poo poo sucks.

But hey. I'm not dead yet. And I pulled myself out of the industry before, years ago, so I should be able to do it again.
