“its a recession”
jokingly used nowadays as a witty response to every question, this phrase can now be used as a justification for learning how to booty clap to the chorus of “say you will”.
“The tough job market is prompting a growing number of women across the country to dance in strip clubs, appear in adult movies or pose for magazines like Hustler.
Employers across the adult entertainment industry say they’re seeing an influx of applications from women who, like Brown, are attracted by the promise of flexible schedules and fast cash. Many have college degrees and held white-collar jobs until the economy soured.”
obviously, this is nothing new under the sun. humans have been willing to buy and sell sex since adam was rockin a bald fade. thing is, the sex industry has always been perceived as an option for the optionless, a skill less job for a hopeless woman.
today?
well….its a recession. apparently, the “p” in “p-popping” now stands for phd.
people of vsb:
personally, how would you describe your view of people with sexually themed occupations? reluctant admiration? disdain? pity? aggressive indifference? does your judgment depend on situation and circumstance?
would you consider “selling” yourself if you felt you didnt have any other attractive options?
could you date someone who’s been in or who’s currently in “the life”?
don’t be scurred and sh*t. we’re all family here.

I couldn’t date anyone in the industry. Nor would I want my siblings or parents (yuck) to do it. I wouldn’t care if an adult NOT associated with me did it. The way I see it, if the person is a friend or associate, I should be able to help them find something ‘fully clothed’ to do. HOWEVER, if one of them were in MANAGEMENT, well, play on playa. Play on…And pay those taxes to Uncle Sam.

By the way, I have managed to conjugate TET. Yeah I know it’s not a verb. But if someone gets fired, they get TETTED. If a company is laying off, they are TETTING. If lay-offs are over, the work force has been TETTED. Gerunds anyone? How about: TETTING is not the hotness.
I got too much nerd time on my hands.

As an intimacy consultant, I meet people from all walks of life, ESPECIALLY since the recession has made folks more mindful of making more intimate use of their time at home…(wink) For those that don’t know, I sell intimate massagers and adult accessories. I also teach workshops on oral technique, positions and strip tease… I a extremely professional and knowledgable about what I do and although it’s a far cry from being an escort or a shoe model, it pays the bills and I love what I do!

Interesting topic, especially since I found myself in Hooter’s tonight picking up some wings before the second set of games.
– Personally, how would you describe your view of people with sexually themed occupations?
PC/theoretical answer: People gotta do what they gotta do. And if doing your thing with a bunch of broke ass pimps or husbands who ain’t seen p*ssy since child #2 is what gets you off or pays your bills, so be it. No one can tell you what you truly enjoy in life, or how best you deal with the daily bullsh*t we all face, so again, do you. My answer to someone I actually care about: Damn girl, you can get ANYTHING using sex/sex appeal, including a better f*cking job. Be a model (assuming that doesn’t fall within the broader topic), salesperson, secretary, some sh*t with a 401k or sum’m. Now if you’re bringing home real bank off some Sapphire sh*t in Vegas, you can ignore me while giving me the finger in your 2009 benz.
- Would you consider “selling” yourself if you felt you didn’t have any other attractive options?
Kinda. But I’d do it the old fashioned way, and marry a rich chick who has no self-respect and live my life on the side (I’ll steal a man’s game OR a woman’s game, I don’t give a f*ck).
- Could you date someone who’s been in or who’s currently in “the life”?
Hell. No. I’m already at my limit with dudes checkin out my girls when I’m out. And, besides the ex’s, I’m the only one who should know about that mole by her left n*pple, or what that sh*t smells like up close.

Ionno about this one… the TET would have to get really really really bad b4 I’d consider taking off my clothes 4 money. Bad like on some Welcome to the Terrordome wasteland apocolypse type shyt… my mind just can’t really wrap around this one too much. But that’s me. I wouldn’t condemn anyone who chooses to do it. Stripping that is – being a porn star/ prostitute isn’t in the same category I don’t think. Some people have certain talents that I just don’t have. I’d make a horrible skripper. I’m not that friendly or flexible lol. As far as dating someone who was a former male skripper? I am a real believer in the power of the lord to bring anyone through anything so I guess it really depends on what they are doing when I meet them and if that skripping was like for 3 months in college like 10 years ago… and if they got their clean bill of health papers and we get them together… in front of each other lol. But all jokes aside, i’m thinking that being an adult film star or prostitute (same thing right?) is a hard lifestyle/career path to shake, for a male or female. It’s a shame but once you go certain places, coming back from those places takes the strength of God. If you’re selling your body me thinks it’s prolly pretty hard to have a healthy relationship and attraction to another person. Dang… this makes me think of Madea goes to Jail. So in conclusion… uhhh i wouldn’t skrip unless (god forbid) my babies were starving and there were absolutely no other options… and ehhh… i’d give a former male skripper a chance if he’s come a LOOOONG way since then and changed his life completely and that is completely evident by how he’s living at present. *** and btw*** I’m going to be outta town the weekend of the 10th otherwise i’d love to come thru and hang out… have fun w/o me… :’-(

I choose brains over beauty so I am immediately a bit suspicious of anyone who makes their money soleley off of their physical appearance not that using your body makes you dumb but in my experience a lot of them are pretty shallow the men and the women and two because I am not sure I could handle it.

but on another note.. I mean these TET’s have made me think about going back to bartending and waitressing on the weekend but ur ah…. getting butt nakey for the shakey? I cant do it but hey if you like it I love it….meanwhile I went to the strip club last week with some friends and the club made you buy your drink at the door with the admission. They didnt have my drink at the front so they gave me a ticket to walk to the bar. 1. this strip club had the laziest strippers I ever seen. I mean they didnt want to dance got on and off the stage like fat girls getting out of bucket seats…and then the waitress walks up to me and asks can she get my drink..i tell her what I want she goes to get it and comes back..and then asks me for a tip….ok if she would have waited my table I would have but tip you for bringing me 1 drink, you aint even cleared the table yet? where they do that at? then I said no she asked me again like she didnt hear me..

No doubt the recession has been blamed for everything under the sun; I just used it as an excuse for why my baked chicken came out a little “extra crispy” tonight.
Anyway, having known people involved in various levels of the sex work industry (from p0rn0 folks in the 818 to ‘party girls’ who affectionately call dudes w/ names like “Silky” their manager) my attitude is usually aggressive indifference as you say. It really boils down to individual circumstances.
Would I consider selling myself? As a 100% straight male my market value as a “worker” would be close to slave wages, so no….being a “manager”/”producer” on the other hand is another matter. Realistically, I couldn’t handle the psychological issues/requisite drama that you have to deal with from folks in the industry.
Could I date someone who was/is in the life? Yep (if they were out — it’s like the mob though), again it boils down to the individual — you just gotta be on point…would not even consider wifing.

First and foremost, I find Twitter to be a complete and utter waste of time. It’s just another way for people to procrastinate when they can be doing some real shit. Information is already reduced down to :30 news bits and 100 word newspaper/magazine articles. So now I’m forced to read a sentence re: what someone had for lunch, how their bossed pissed them off or what shoes they are wearing?
No thanks.

I love twitter bc it is an absolute waste of time, lol… No actually it takes my mind off for a little while in my day off my life in this TET, AND I have actually made some contacts and leads to some speaking and writing gigs from wasting that time… but it surely ain’t for everyone… is it more or less a waste of time than VSB?

@Naturally Alise,
Alise, you are a writer – a business – so Twitter makes sense for you. I am referring to using Twitter in the personal sense, using it to tell people you didn’t have enough mayo on your sandwich or that you don’t like the shoes you are wearing.
If VSB had a real marketing plan in place (folks think social media marketing means adding friends and posting updates; it’s more than that and you need a marketing plan to drive your actions/measure success) and Twitter was a part of comprehensive plan, it would make sense.

@iloVEGrits,
Twitter is only as useful as the purpose you use it for. Yes, it can be an absolute waste of time, but it can also be awesome for networking. I’ve been placed in touch with some connects via Twitter.
The main advantage about Twitter is that it really does shrink that 6 degrees of separation, and very quickly. Even quicker than Facebook, and you can reach those you may not have an opportunity to reach otherwise.
However, Twitter can just be a soapbox for every Tom, Dick & Junebug who use it as a platform to be heard by somebody. Anybody.
Eh, whatever though. Different strokes… (no Willis)

Well I hope to pieces that people dont change their Facebook statuses as often as Twitter. I use the 2-3 changes TOPS a day on Facebook. Ain’t no reason for folks to be changing FB statuses every hour on the hour.
And I get spurts where I have no attention span for Twitter, and be missing for like 4 days. other times, I spend 2 str8 hrs on there having convos with folks on the shows we watching.
On another token, I control 3 organizations’ Twitter accounts (9-5 gig, side hustle, Red Pump Project) and those are pretty deliberate. I use it to inform, educate, and build stronger connections with the networks. I’m not on there saying how Que from Making the Band needs psychiatric help (although he does)

First and foremost, I find Twitter to be a complete and utter waste of time. It’s just another way for people to procrastinate when they can be doing some real sh!t. Information is already reduced down to :30 news bits and 100 word newspaper/magazine articles. So now I’m forced to read a sentence re: what someone had for lunch, how their bossed pissed them off or what shoes they are wearing?
No thanks.

Any temptation to use Twitter more frequently was quashed after the Cisco Fatty incident. So no.
I think that transactional sex (“pay my telephone bills, pay my automo-bills”) is a cousin-brother to commercial sex and think both concepts are hard to swallow. I may also be jaundiced as first strip club I went to (B-more strip clubs suck BTW), that was when I found out that you also get white hair in your pewbic area as the old-ish stripper was rocking one hell of a 5-o’clock shadow (actually, a baby-fro).
So no.

Cisco Fatty was just a dummy. Once again, technology is only as stupid as the ones who use it. If you use it smartly, its smart. If you’re a dumbass, you need to rock an eDunce hat. Why she decided to place on TWITTER, which is like an internet megaphone, that she is tryna consider a job with Cisco (even though she may hate it) is beyond me.
Dummy. She deserved that firing.

You never know someone’s reasons for being in a s3xual occupation, so I’m indifferent. One of my homegirls used to strip and I treat her just the same as everyone else.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t be able to date a man who had this occupation. I’d be thinking of all the women he’s had (as if men NOT in the profession can’t be just as promiscuous). LOL. But it would be different bc I could actually see him in action.
If I had no other option, you have to do what you’ve got to do. I may consider stripping, but that’s where I draw the line!

I’m in love with a stripper
She poppin she rollin she rollin
She climbing that pole and
Im in love with a stripper
she trippin she playin she playin
Im not going nowhere girl Im staying
With that said, I don’t think I could strip. But who knows, if I TRULY fell on hard times and had NO OTHER alternatives, sh*t, Ill be practicing my azz off and getting my upper body strength together so I could climb that pole. And it would be in a city FAR from home, where no one (hopefully) would know who I was- straight rocking wigs.
I will admit that I like going to strip clubs (not male ones – ewww gross). Hands down the best one I’ve been to was in Ft. Lauderdale.
Oh and I could NOT date a guy in the “industry”. They are gross to me.

@V Renee, that’s the beauty of flucking for tracks, no singing or dancing skills necessary. Ask Cassie.

@Luvvie,
That’s cuz Mya wasn’t doing it right. Cassie went for a man who heads his own label and signs her checks. Xtina Mili gets with producers who are hit makers (Dre from Cool & Dre and The Dream).
I’m not advocating this behavior in anyway, but if you’re going to do it, dam*it do it right.

Oh you’re right, Christina hasn’t been doing a great job at it, but I doubt she was hurting while dating Dre. And now, especially in these current TET- being with The Dream and upgrading from Myspace records isn’t hurting her either.
LOL
Again, not advocating…but if you’re going to be foolish enough to take your focus off of your own career and establishing yourself financially and artistically, at least be wise about it.
This is a hard one (no pun intended) for me. On one hand, I’ve been a Pure Romance consultant, been in many a strip club and quite frankly have no problem with people in the industry. Most of the time, I find the drama amusing and can appreciate the skills (physical and emotional) needed for one of these types of jobs.
For me personally? I don’t see myself doing pron or wearing any clear heels but I could definitely work in a legitimate management position if the chips were down for me.
Keeping it real, there’s always going to be a demand for this type of thing and I don’t see anything wrong with working in the industry if I’m keeping my clothes on but providing solid, educated help to people who usually get taken advantage of by fools trying to say they a primp.

@The Champ,
Basically, turning off the emotions and realizing that its just a “game” and not to get caught up emotionally. Oh and try not to have too many daddy issues. Course most of the people I’ve personally known that are in some facet of the industry are in the industry particularly BECAUSE of those reasons but hey…those who succeed, do so because they know how to handle the emotional pitfalls accordingly.

Chicago is hosting a “So You Thank You Can Skrip” competition less than a mile from my house. First prize? 5K and a trip to Vegas. Apparently, they’ve gotten a turnout so substantial that the club is doubling up its “Amateur Nights”.

Last week they showed a strip club that was hiring on the news, and the line was literally out the door! They recieved hundreds of applicants mostly for bouncers, bartenders, dj’s (or so they said…). I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to pay the rent so I cant knock anybody for it.
At the same time I personally dont have it in my right now, but I’m not gonna front like I didnt consider it in my broke college days!
As far as dating goes, I know for sure I could never/would never date a man who was strippin or doing p*rn. Just the thought of my man diddling some other chick is enough to set me on edge. Knowing its his job would be way too stressful!

“also, vsb.com has a twitter account.…as does panama….and the champ. if anyone can successfully convince either of them why they should even bother tweeting, theres a free vsb tee in it for you.”
Ya’ll just reminded me, I need to buy me a VSB tee soon, but I’ll bite.
The reason why ya’ll should even bother tweeting? It’s a recession. Anyhow, gotta add you guys.
Okay, it’s somethin’ else when dealt with a situation that virtually everyone can relate to, a once-condemned act is now considered okay. As far as stripping goes, I can’t knock a sista (or brotha) for doing what they gotta do. Can’t say I could imagine myself doing the same, but hell, that’s all I can do: imagine. Can’t realistically make a decision unless I’m actually in that situation…it’s one of those situations where I can honestly say that I don’t know what I’d do.
Now dating? Well, um, I find it a bit easier to make that decision: Boy, NAW.
Have a good weekend, ya’ll!

We laughingly condemn the skrippers, pron performers, and hookers, BUT I just thought about the fact that there is obviously an audience for them. They would not exist were it not for a john, perv, bachelor party, and regla ol’ guys… so stop (pause) think about it….

@Naturally Alise,
I got pissed watching some doc on SHO called “Very Young Girls” where these underage girls who aren’t even old enough to consent to sex are locked up for turning tricks. Juxtaposed to their customers who had to go thru some weak ass, day seminar on sensitvity training.
BOOSHEET!

And that’s right they shouldn’t… For years, those countries were not allowed at the “adults table” now that the “adults” have spoiled and spilled all the food and drink, they want to chop at the “kiddies table”.
Can’t wait for that summit though, it’s going to be hilarious. I know Russia ain’t gonna want to play either.

Haven’t had time to read the comments yet… but stripping has always been my
not sosecret dream job.I mean, getting naked while dancing AND getting paid for it? Sheesh, that’s the life!
Unfortunately, I am not an orphan… and don’t want to have the death of those lovely people (parents) on my conscience… I stick to my homemade strip club when the urge strikes…
The End.
