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
