Philadelphia Sex Workers Get Paid

If you’ve been paying any attention to the sex worker industry over the past few months, you’ll note that there are some considerable changes. Platforms where adult performers and the like are able to spread their wings and shoot solo content have become the only way that many can make a living. With shoots shut down and unemployment not being an option for many, you have to make money where you can.

Sex workers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania can count themselves in a slightly better position than most in similar positions though, thanks to two charitable organizations, Philadelphia Red Umbrella Alliance and Project SAFE.

These two charities put their money where there mouth is and help women, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and trans people in Philadelphia’s sex trade get a leg up when they need it.

Pennsylvania released a guide to sex during quarantine like many other places around the world did. Here is what they suggest:

• Masturbation will not spread COVID-19; this is your safest option. It’s still important to practice hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before and after (sing Happy Birthday twice). It’s also important to wash any sex toys with soap and water.
• The next safest option for a sex partner is someone who lives with you. Avoid having sex with anyone outside your household.
• At this time, it is still important to stay home and practice social distancing. If you do have sex with other people outside your household, limit the number of your sex partners.
• If you usually meet your sex partners online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Get creative! Video dates, sexting or chat rooms may be safe and sexy options for you.
  • If you are a sex worker and continue to have dates, we recommend:
    • Screening your clients for symptoms.
    • If your date presents with symptoms, you are taking a risk continuing the date.
    • Cleaning/disinfecting your workspace thoroughly and after each date.
    • Shower thoroughly after each client and change clothes.
  • Washing up before and after sex is more important than ever. Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

The stigma surrounding sex work is something that is ingrained into society. While moves are always being made to slowly deconstruct those ideals, there is a very long road ahead until sex workers are given the same help and aid that “civilians” in society are.

If you have some extra cash on hand and are looking to donate to either
Philadelphia Red Umbrella Alliance or Project SAFE, please do. Sex workers are essential to so many of us and it’s time for us to support them whenever we can.
