One downside of sex work, especially online sex work, is getting 'trapped' in it. Sex work often allows people to flexibly make much more money for less work. If you want to quit, you have to go back to a much lower-paying job, with a ton of hours, and that can feel unacceptable.

So often people might be getting burned out or hate it or be suffering emotional damage, but then go - well, what's my other option? Work at a minimum wage job? For forty hours/week? Maybe they have a kid, or health issues, and so they don't feel they have a real option to leave.

That's how I ended up working in a restaurant for so long. You'll have a hard time finding such an easy job that pays so well for so few hours. Had to get a retirement and benefits but started on that much later than I should have

I used to feel that way about bartending before I realized bartending sucks ass and I can make triple the money doing IT, which is less fun but way more fulfilling

In medicine, we call it ‘golden handcuffs.’ Sometimes, you want to get out, but it’s hard to find something analogous to continue your current lifestyle.
