Gwyneth Montenegro, 39 years old, is a former Australian escort, and has spent 12 years sleeping with well-known lawyers, politicians and musicians. She has written a book revealing the surprising things that men will pay for. In her new book “The Secret Taboo – The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Being a Financially Successful Escort” she confides that “most men don’t always come for sexual services.”

In fact, over the decade that she was in the industry, the most important thing for her clients was “the feeling of being necessary and desired” by a hot woman. It’s their ultimate fantasy after all.”

She says that it is therefore vital for an escort, “to make the client believe that she is very fond of him, and that she appreciates him enormously (even if it is not the case)”.

Many girls in the industry try to compete with each other by providing more sexual acts or practices, but that should be avoided, in her opinion. She stated: “Don’t try to follow, or outdo someone else, or it could turn against you. You only have to work within your limits.”

According to Gwyneth, the main reason why many men have turned to her for sex was because they were feeling emasculated and less of a man in their own relationships. She revealed that even if the men paid her for sexual services, a large part of her work was simply to talk to them. In fact, many men wanted an authentic conversation and connection.

One of the most frequent questions she received from girls was to know if getting larger breasts would be beneficial to their success as an escort. The former prostitute revealed that most men prefer the feeling of real breasts, but that there is a market for all body types. She wrote: “If you have a large chest, there is a market. If you have small breasts, there is also a market. I wouldn’t waste too much time on it”, she advises.

A little-known secret in the hobbying world is that many men actively seek escorts who are not the hottest or most beautiful women, and will go with someone more physically average, because they are shy and sometimes feel a little inadequate themselves.

“You don’t have to be the hottest femme fatale, but simply professional, well-groomed, friendly, confident and have good energy”.

Gwyneth said that she was young and naïve before she began working as a sex worker at the age of 21, and that she wouldn’t recommend the industry to anyone.

According to the latest data, search requests of a sexual nature also change during the Halloween period. 
Based on 2016 requests, it found an increase in specific search terms, like “Halloween sex”, which ranked number one in the highest increase in searches (+3369%).
Sexual searches containing the word “costume” increased by 189% at that time, while those containing the word “scary” increased by 217%. In general, searches with the word “Halloween” increased by 1173%, and remained in the top searches until the first week of November. “
Trick or treat” came in second place with an increase of 2582%. Other highly searched terms included “orgy costume” (which had an increase of 1,254%), “dirty girl”, and “lesbian witch”.
 Even though most of these results are based on last year’s requests, searches related to costumes and cosplay remain one of the internet users’ favourite fetishes in 2017. The five most popular costume searches this year are the teacher, maid, nurse, policewoman and Harley Quinn.
A slew of other comic book characters were part of the 24 top costume searches, including Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Catwoman, and Captain America.

Sex workers all over the world are already using the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to avoid discrimination by the financial services industry, as some adult stars sometimes have their bank accounts closed or frozen without warning (see the Chase Bank story). And electronic wallets like PayPal prohibit any transaction related to sex. Many actresses, boutiques, start-ups and entrepreneurs in the sex industry face this kind of discrimination, even though their work is perfectly legal.

Furthermore, actors in the adult industry are usually required to use the services of companies who charge them very high fees to accept credit card payments from their customers. For example, epoch charges no less than 15% for each credit card transaction.

To overcome this problem, several blockchain projects are launching cryptocurrency initiatives specifically designed for sex workers.

The latest such project is SpankChain, a decentralised payment technology that is accessible to everyone. Spankchain will create a limited offer of 1,000,000, 000 SpankCoins, which will enable customers to pay for the services of adult websites, webcam girls, or others, in complete anonymity.

Does the name Ella Hughes mean anything to you? You’ve probably already seen this young woman in the sixth season of Game of Thrones in which she plays the role of a Volantene whore.

She is 22 years old, and studied law at university to obtain a degree. There was nothing to suggest that her career would take a turn to the adult entertainment industry. 
At first, she posed in adult magazines before taking the leap to porno and webcamming. She now earns a living performing erotic shows in front of her webcam, by doing live stripteases, and selling her worn lingerie and other accessories to her fetish fans. With nearly 200,000 Twitter and Instagram followers, Ella Hughes has become very popular on the social networks. She posts enticing selfies on these social platforms to sell herself and boost her profile.

During her teenage years, she hated her body and thought that she was overweight, and was shy around others. It was only when the young English woman started appearing nude on the screen that she found her self-confidence. “Before, I was a very shy girl, I never felt that I was good enough”.

She acknowledges that working in the porno industry has its disadvantages. She regularly receives messages, emails, or hate mail in which she is called a “slut” or a “whore” or accused of being infested with sexually transmitted infections. But the former law student is not ashamed of her new career, and she explained to us that the love of her work far exceeds all the negative things that she might have to endure. “My love for my work conquers all the critics,” she said.

She now dreams of owning her own audio-visual creation company, and of being able to direct her own porno movie.

Rosie Renée, a young woman from Queensland, Australia, quit her job as a personal fitness coach at a gym in the middle of last year. She suddenly found herself at home not knowing what to do with her time. While watching a British documentary about webcam girls, the idea came to her to try this work as well. She admits that when she first began her new “adult” job, she thought it was a scam. But Rosie very quickly changed her opinion when, a month later, she received her first paycheque. At that point, she decided to make this her new profession.

She can earn up to 8000 Euros ($9500) in a good month. But in order to get these kinds of results, Rosie doesn’t count how much time she spends in front of her webcam, and she’s often logged in for about 70 hours per week. In addition to her modelling and camera work, Rosie puts a lot of effort into her marketing, her set, preparation, and her social networks.

Within a year, she has fulfilled many male fantasies in front of her camera. Some clients have requested unusual things, like asking her to take a bath in beets, to cover herself in pancake batter, and even to set her nipples on fire.

She said: “In the beginning, I was nervous, of course, but I also found it to be very exciting. It took me some time to find and create my niche, but once I did, it was comfortable, natural and very amusing.” 
In her own words, “It’s not just about getting naked and going online”. 
She decided to share her story to destroy certain stereotypes of the sex industry.

In Romania, thousands of women are working as webcam girls from studio or from their homes. Most of their clients are from North America or Western Europe. 
On the sidewalk outside a large apartment building in the heart of Bucharest, a group of young women are talking and laughing. Except that, at this early morning hour, their makeup, high heels and sexy outfits contrast with the outfits of passers-by.

Inside Studio 20 – a closed door indicates that a girl is performing live. 

Inside the building, Studio 20 occupies the first two floors. There are 40 rooms connected to blank white corridors, with walls adorned with pictures of glamorous women. A closed door means that a woman is performing live via webcam for international clients, and that she must not be disturbed. In this world of virtual relationships and cybersex, those in front of the camera are the “models” and the men watching the performance are the “members”.

Lana works in room 8
A circular bed with cushions dominates the room. There is a wardrobe containing some of her clothing. 
– Normally I go into room for dresses, lingerie or leather, she said.
 In a corner of the room, there is a large computer screen and an expensive, state-of-the-art camera – behind them, there is professional-grade lighting for better image quality. Dozens of clients can watch Lana in her online room, in real time, via adult sites dedicated to webcam girls.

Lana makes money only when a member takes her into a “private”, exclusive webcam session. 
She works eight hours a day, and earns an average of 4000 euros per month, which is almost 8 times the average salary in Romania.
Lana is a graduate who had worked in real estate until the 20008 global economic crash, which plunged Romania into a recession. This is when she made a career change and got into video chat.

She still remembers her first day in front of the camera as if it were yesterday.
– I was alone in the room, and it seemed like there were hundreds of people looking at me. I was unable to follow everything that they were saying in the chat or everything they were asking me for. But little by little, I learned how to recognize which member was a potential paying client and how not to spend time on those members who would waste a lot of your time yet never spend a dime.

Lana explains what happens during her private sessions:
 – A lot of members are looking for love, they want to create an intimate connection with a woman, and some want you to call them by their name. Mostly, it’s just conversation, and the rest of the time its nudity and masturbation. Sometimes I play role-playing games like I’m their girlfriend, a secretary or a nurse.

Studio 20 employs trainers, a psychologist and an English teacher so that the models can communicate with their clients. The trainers are also required to teach the girls about fetishes, where fantasies come from, as well as geography courses to better understand where the members come from, etc. 
– We study Freud and a lot of psychology, a model tells us. But also a book about gestures and body language, because the women must be sensual, intelligent and beautiful.
 – It’s not just a sexual activity like some people may think, said the Manager of Studio 20. The models must talk to a member as if they were in a normal relationship. Being able to discuss many subjects makes both parties more comfortable.”

Eat foods that stimulate nitric oxide

Nitric oxide is a chemical compound that plays an important role in male sexual functionality. Higher levels of nitric oxide result in increased erection frequency, as well as in harder, firmer erections. Conversely, low levels of nitric oxide may lead to soft erections and premature ejaculation.

– Spinach
– Beets
– Celery
– Iceberg lettuce and arugula
– Carrots
– Parsley
– Cabbage
– Radish

Raw cocoa: Natural cocoa powder (100% cocoa without added sugar) contributes to increased nitric oxide and a drop in blood pressure. Raw cocoa contains nitric oxide, the same stimulating active compound as Pycnogenol and grape seed extract (protocyanidine), as well as many other antioxidants stimulating nitric oxide.

Garlic + vitamin C: Vitamin C increases nitric oxide production in the body. Garlic, on the other hand, is a natural vasodilator and full of natural nitrates. It also contains a compound called quercetin, which is linked to an increase in nitric oxide levels, according to various studies.

Ginseng: What makes ginseng interesting is that many studies on men demonstrate how it increases testosterone, increases nitric oxide, improves circulation, improves the quality of sleep, cleans the arteries and stimulates the libido. It should be noted that we are talking about Korean red ginseng.

Citrulline: This is an amino acid that your body converts into L-arginine, which then converts to nitric oxide through the nitric oxide synthase enzyme. This means that supplementing with L-citrulline is a great way to naturally increase nitric oxide levels. 
To obtain the best bioavailability, use citrulline malate.

Kathleen has received single donations of $1000 and $5000 from online members who are part of the 10 million active users on the site Twitch.

Another player, Chelsea, known as XMINKS (photos above) in the gaming world, earns a six-figure salary for playing games live. Chelsea now has more than 350,000 subscribers who connect just to watch her play her games live.

« They love watching you, discovering your personality, and interacting with you. It’s more about having a social relationship than watching you play  » said Chelsea.

In 2013, after having experimented on YouTube with Call of Duty montages, Chelsea began streaming live on Twitch. Her audience has continued to grow and she has been able to transform her hobby into a full-time job.

Some cam girls have infiltrated this sector to try to obtain donations and tips by dressing up sexy and flirting with members of their community. But they are quickly spotted.

To know the difference between a cam girl who is infiltrating the game and a real player is very easy. A gamer girl is an experienced player, she is a legitimate player and she is taken seriously. A cam girl will be at the beginner level, and no player will take her very seriously.

Twitch offers a membership feature that bills users $4.99 per month to remember their favourite streamers. In addition, the site just launched two new memberships at $9.90 and $24.90 per month. This becomes an income for the streamers, which ensures them a more stable income, instead of simply counting on donations, which can vary significantly from month to month.

In the comfort of their homes, some girls can make a fortune from memberships, gifts and sometimes brand sponsorships. « It’s a unique opportunity that we have and the people who came before us didn’t have the same chance », said Kathleen.

But along with its great financial potential, the negative risks and online abuse in the gaming industry can obviously not be ignored. Players are regularly confronted by trolls, insulted, are the subject of offhanded remarks, etc., and it’s a real problem that ruins the experience.
