The punter who told you this sounds oddly unaware that prostitution has existed in one form or another for almost as long as people have, and free casual sex has for longer still! And in every part of the world too, including places far more challenging to work and punt in than this one

Usually the people who say this sort of thing are not very bright and just projecting their own situation onto everyone else (a little like the people on both sides who only use Adultwork and can't get their heads around the fact that the rest of the internet exists and is managing fine without them) because they struggle with the fact that not everybody is the same as they are. Either way I wouldn't take it too seriously provided you're putting the necessary effort in.

I daresay a fair few will give up if they're not earning enough for whatever reason (the commonest being that it's everybody else's fault rather than that they could up their game a bit), but as with every other sector, I doubt anybody with a good service offering, a solid business and decent clients has anything much to worry about.

Almost 11 years in its defo no quieter down here

I find many men now can't be bothered to spend money on dating because what most really want to have sex and it's easier and less stress to pay for it, So I think it's definitely not the end of sex work unless something is put in the drinking water to chemically castrate 90% of the Male population.

hahhaha
 
I dont worry what someone is telling me, I judge based on how busy my phone seems to be. Also I have impression that is not necessarily the money issue only coz if it the case they would be bargaining of course and lately even this doesn't happen. Can be just deadly quiet.

I don't think selling sex will ever be the end but i have noticed big changes over the years. I do think it's harder for some women if they want to do much more vanilla or safer services because they will have a limited percentage of clients to attract compared to ladies that offer a really lot with starting prices quite low.

So that is the only change that i think is harder as men expect so much more now days and so much more competition.

So my point is ladies that could and used to earn a really lot on same services years ago will not get the same now days as it's tougher and a lot more independents working now. I also think going to new areas do not always make you busy compared to doing that years ago pretty much guaranteed you would be busy all day every day for a while.

I am curios to hear what  you consider as "offer a lot"

Everyone has a 'limited' number of potential punters by virtue of everything from their location to their prices to their working hours to their hair colour. Nobody appeals to everyone.

For as long as people conflate offering different services with fewer services this weirdness will continue, when in reality this is like saying an Indian restaurant is offering 'less' than an Italian restaurant because they don't serve pizza. Each restaurant has it's own tailored offering and they're not comparable.

There is also far more to services than a tacky ticklist on a shitheap site like Adultwork, and the punters who realise that are the ones I want and thankfully, get. Granted I had to move areas to get them in sufficient numbers to earn the money I want and obviously this isn't going to be possible for everyone, but this was nothing to do with a lack of punters per se, just a lack of punters I could stay in the same room as for more than about thirty seconds without wanting to shriek.

It amazes me that agencies still exist, but they do. Some people are happy to pay a pimp even in 2022, but it would be nice to see them eventually crawl off into the history books.

I don’t think it’s the end but I think it’s slowed down. Because lots of people are getting increases in bills. Energy and also food. I feel like everything is going up right now. So people I’ve less money to spend. They might not use sex workers as often

Nail salons always seem very busy too.
