Heyyy 

I just thought i'd drop a quick note on this forum about a project I?m involved with. Its for anyone who is or has been a student and has been involved with some kind of sex work. Might be webcam or escorting or anything  .  Anyway i thought i'd post because i found the links for SAAFE through that forum and i like this site a lot so maybe you'll like the student sex work project website too This isn't a post to replace SAAFE or anything. Just another site. 
Anyway i thought i'd just tell you what the site is about

Basically it?s called The Student Sex Work Project www.thestudentsexworkproject.co.uk . It's run from Swansea University and is a research study but it offers services as well.  One you have signed up as a member there are a few things you can access through the members page.

You can post messages, questions and communicate with other members about your ideas and experiences, as well as any issues that might arise from your work in adult entertainment/sex work.

You can also make use of the Forum's one-2-one support service and talk over any issues/problems/concerns or just pop in for a chat with the Student Sex Work Project staff and volunteers (open two days a week).

Once a fortnight they have Loz Galatowicz from the UK Network of Sex Work Projects who can talk through any matters around sex work, the law, safety or general information on sex work. She comes onto the online chat and you can talk to her privately

You can also access a free and confidential service with their resident sexologist Sam Geuens. (You might have to google sexologist.I had too but actually i really like talking to him. He's such a help  haha

And if you live or study in Wales you can access a sexual health service in Cardiff specifically for students who work in sex work or adult entertainment.

To join you have to confirm that you're are a student by providing a working university email address or some other proof. It's not to figure you out and in a sense it really is a private forum then as no one can just stumble upon the forum. Keeps nosey clients away hehe. I sent my uni e-mail but they contact me through a different e-mail

I joined the project as a member last year and now I work with Debbie, Jacky and Gemma, the people at the project as a paid researcher but i'm certainly not a spy or anything. haha. I escort and webcam too .  I have Blogged and help them think about questions to ask other sex workers. Mainly, i do it because it'd be nice to see all sex workers treated with a little more respect instead of being subject to bad jokes and a lot of stigma.

You can also fill in their survey if you're bored. It might help in the future and helps understanding  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/student_sex_survey

If you want to know more about the project you could just reply here or email the project ccjc-sswp@swansea.ac.uk   

 
Personally, i have used the net reach chat alot because it helps when you want instant replies 1-1 and sometimes work is just a little lonely?

Anyway i hope it might be of interest to some of you

Seemed reasonable until you wanted proof of student identity. I'm out.

Yeah it put me off for a while too. I think  it's so only students join as media people are super iinterested in student sex workers but no pressure to join. Just so you know it's there if you ever wanted too  xxx

Hi casey_kisses,

We would just like to let you know that if you join our project through SAAFE we are happy to accept you as a member without proof of student identity. We do usually require this information, purely to protect our project members from malicious intent and from the media accessing our online service as Holly explained

We hope that you are still interested to join us on the project!

You can read more in our new post published today

Hi sarahbelle,

We are very pleased you like the idea of our project and thank you very much for your feedback. We do actually agree with you and we know it may seem like a limited project, but this is due to the funding process, we are a welsh-based funded project, therefore this does not allow us to expand our project to England.

However, we can still expand on our knowledge and research and we do talk to students involved in sex work all over the world. Your geographical location does not affect you talking to us and making use our services. We would love to talk to you and hear about your experiences. Also the fact that you are a mature student does not matter!

If you would like to talk with us and share your experiences you can email us at ccjc-sswp@swansea.ac.uk and we can arrange to talk to you over the phone or through our online netreach service. We can then hopefully provide you with further information.

Hope this helps,
We look forward to hearing from you.
