I was invited as a guest to give a sort of lecture about our business at the local law faculty yes it is the one during which I wore my t-shirt backwards I was a bit shocked because I thought it would be a small workshop for just a few people But instead there was a huge crowd maybe 100-150 people waiting to hear me talk about the secrets of the sex industry I think I made a small mistake right at the beginning Somehow I mentioned the amount of money the top girls in the business can make each month The students expected something like 8 000 or 8 000 at most When I said we re talking about 40 50k all their jaws dropped And I think in that moment quite a few girls in the audience started wondering if a career in law was still the right path for them It s sad because I never intend these public talks to be a promotion of the sex industry In fact later in my speech I spoke about many of the risks disadvantages and struggles and stigma that sex workers face in their lives But still it was too late Next time I really need to think more carefully about the strategy behind my talk On the other hand I do believe it s important to talk about the financial realities of this business Many people still think we re dealing with small change but in reality it s a massive industry and yes many of the women involved are millionaires That truth shouldn t be hidden
