How would the price for the service compare with that of sexual services provided for men by women?

How does the price of sexual services by men for other men compare with similar services by women for men?

I have not heard of there being much of a market for sexual services for women besides the old fashion gigolo type of service and I am not familiar with where to find this type of information. Any help with this would be appreciated.

A: Sure, there is a market for women providing sexual services for other women. This market is probably quite small, but it does exist.

You might want to contact the Lusty Lady to discuss pricing. They’re a worker-owned, co-op, strip club that specializes in catering to female clientele (though they serve all genders). They might be able to discuss that in more depth with you or your friend. You could also always check out Craigslist just to get a sense of what’s being offered, and at what price.

Another option you might consider is checking out mypinkbook.com. A lot of the questions deal with male-related issues, but I’m sure you or your friend could get information about female-female sex work.

A good friend of mine is doing a great job of working for herself through online ad sites, while maintaining safety and sex-positivity. I’m not sure if I should gain experience through an agency first, or if any safer, sex-positive ones even exist. Please help.

A: Thanks for your question! A good way to start is simply by getting involved with some online sex work communities. These communities will allow you to get more of a “feel” for the industry, and may even help you decide whether the online ad website or agency route is right for you. There are obvious advantages to both ways (online = autonomy, keeping everything you earn; agency= safety in numbers, instant community), but the choice will ultimately depend upon what is right for your
personal needs.

We don’t know offhand of any sex-positive agencies, but other sex workers (who can be found in the forums) will likely be able to. We think you’ll find that many of these groups are definitely feminist and sex-positive:

Sex Workers Outreach Project – sex worker community, blogs, news, etc.

Prostitutes’ Education Network. – Scroll all the way down. There are TONS of links by sex workers, for and about the industry.

MyPinkbook.com – A lengthy forum with resources and tips.

Hopefully this is helpful!
