I’m possibly an outlier in this because I only started sex work to work around my health problems regarding endometriosis, painful sex, and infertility.
Breakdown, if it wasn’t for sex work, I would have never been able to conceive or stay pregnant in the first place. In that regards, it has helped immensely. That said, I’ve been doing this for 9 years so we’ve had plenty of time for ups and downs because it definitely isn’t a linear good-bad.
Sometimes it helps and sometimes it hurts. As a work from home mom with a full time stay at home dad for a spouse, we are conveniently always near each other and often always naked. In that aspect, definitely helps, especially now that our little dude has been in public school for 3 years because we now have tons of privacy and set business hours.
However, since this is our career, when I stay up late filming or working, he stays up too out of solidarity/loneliness. Days like that definitely make sex less likely and sometimes takes it off the table completely for a few days. Some days I’m just too busy for sex. Some days he’s too tired from parenting for sex. Sometimes we both are. Sometimes my health problems make him say no despite me wanting to and work making me want to more.
That said, endometriosis severely negatively affects our ability to have sex far more than work does. Work allows us to plan sex around my schedule and physical limitations, so it probably helps our sex life far far more than it hurts it. Sex with me has generally always had to be scheduled anyways as my body does not cooperate or tolerate spontaneous sex. Being a full time fetish-femdom filmer allows me to take the extra steps needed for me to be able to experience mostly painless sex- which ultimately helps our sex life.
❤ Take with a grain of salt- coming from someone who has been monoga-mostly for over 10 years and living with excruciating painful sex/masturbation for 16 years.
