The "sex" in sex workers is shorthand for the various forms of work that involve eroticism. It is not meant to be taken literally.

I get the impression that a small minority of dommes are casually throwing around this term SWer and trying to identify as part of a group. I personally think it's foolish. You are being left alone in large part. No one is coming after you. 50 Shades of Gray and Onlyfans have mainstreamed this industry. There's no need to feel marginalized or that you have to identify with escorts, many of whom simply want to make a bunch of cash fast and will happily fade off into the distance at a moment's notice.


You lack the knowledge about the sociopolitical and legal landscape in which we work and your opinion is based on that.

BDSM is different. It's fantasy roleplay.


Some of what we do does not involve fantasy nor roleplay.

You are professionals. Skilled tradeswomen.


All erotic labor has its own set of skills and every laborer has the potential to be a professional.
