@Marceline interesting SFW / NSFW and the client doesn't matter in your eyes. There's a difference from a "off their rocker" person than a NSFW and a SFW client. Similar to an erotic massage shouldn't be the same price as a normal massage for example. Usually in business the clients needs vary because of the specific client profile which is quite quite different for the 79yr old widowed woman vs the 19 year old horny guy. It's not about just your time, it's about the considerations for the client themselves which is why that's actually essential information. You didn't answer my "How much would you need to do this?" question. $100 seems very high for basic SFW texting to a normal person (IE someone who is not asking for nudes, photos, sexting, every 2 minutes.) I would figure talking to an old grandma about her day wouldn't be the same price as engaging in full blown sex work including video, camera, and audio. That's why I've given the valuable information I did in this thread. The specifics always matter in busienss especially charging 3 figures per hour so the clients gets what they need lol...
It doesn't matter to me whether the texting is SFW or NSFW because in the end, it's a luxury service that is being purchased. This isn't some kind of essential service someone needs, it's entertainment. It's also about me spending my time doing something that I otherwise would not be doing if I wasn't getting paid for it.
And, texting isn't the same as massages, so that's not really comparable. It's also not really an equal comparison between SFW texting and doing NSFW video/camera/audio work. Of course I'd charge more for videos than I would for texting, whether the videos were sexual in nature or not. For example, I charge $15 a minute for custom videos, without any add ons. If a member wanted a video of me just talking about my day, it would still cost them the same $15 a minute that it would cost a member wanting something like a JOI or POV video.
Anyway, with that being said, I can't say exactly how much I'd charge for SFW texting, simply because it's not something that I'm interested in doing. Because one, I'd rather spend that same amount of time filming which would lead to me making more money over the long run. Two, I don't want to be essentially "on call" for anyone, or have to give someone my undivided attention for hours at a time. I don't even do that with my bf, best friend or family. They get responses when I feel like responding, and a lot of the time I don't want to carry on a long text conversation. And three, offering services like this can lead to the member blurring the lines between fantasy and reality and having a distorted perception of the transactional relationship between the two of you, which can lead to problems. However, if I had to throw out an exact price right now, I'd probably price it at $180 an hour, which is what I'd make for a private show on MFC. But honestly, if I were to actually end up offering this, I'd more than likely end up pricing it even higher. But since you're so deadset on getting an actual number, I'll say $180/hr.
If you feel like that's too high or wouldn't feel comfortable charging that much, then don't charge that much. If you feel like your time is worth only $100 a day, then price it like that. Looking at your post history it seems like you're very new to cam/sex work, and I'll be honest, I was the same way with pricing my time way too low when I first got into the industry. However, I've been in the adult/sex work industry for almost seven years now, and I know how valuable my time and energy is and I refuse to lowball myself.
If it was me non NSFW would cost way more, not the same amount. In my opinion providing emotion support to another should not be the same cost as providing sexual services, and I wanted clarification because 4 figures for safe for work texting (which can be done passively) seemed very high.
Again, charge whatever you want. Just because someone else would charge one way, doesn't mean you also have to. However, we're sex workers, not therapists. If someone is in actual need of emotional support they should be going to a licensed mental health provider. Y'know, the same people who charge $150+ per hour for their services.
