Working girls want change in industry...

nobody@vox.com(Shanay@jigjigoil.com) — Mon, 12 May 2008 10:15:15 +1000

Have you never been to a Brothel before?

I can give you a little bit at a time so as not to scare you completely in regards to the whole goings on.

As you may not be aware the number of, girls allowed to work at brothels have changed from 5 working girls to 8 working girls. All this means is that this was changed and passed by Government last July without any asking from the girls, the ones who are actually effected by this change. The decision was made by Governmet, PLA and Brothel Owners, but the girls themselves who unfortunetly had no say in the matter at all. This is and has been a great contrubting factor to the decline of our income in the last year.

Most of the working girls who live and work in Queensland are not happy with this change at all and wish it to go back to the way it was originally. Brothel owners and those in the PLA thought it would allow girls to have rest periods throught the shifts when it was needed, instead it has made some of us work longer hours just to cover the same amount of money.

To the horror of the public most working girls on an eight hour shift are not even making $30 p/hr! This is a direct result of this change. I am getting out of the industry this year due to this and many other changes that maybe happening to our industry soon.

Will talk more later.

QotD: Worth Your Money

nobody@vox.com(Shanay@jigjigoil.com) — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 14:49:30 +1000

What are some things that are worth (and not worth) spending money on?
Submitted by pinejar.

Life goes by very fast these days and every cent does count but these three things are still worth spending on,

good shoes, underwear, and surprises for the family. Things not worth sending money on is money thats has already been lost, like taking someone to court to get it back. A bigger person lets go and moves on with life instead of try to fight to get it back.

I'm a brothel worker in Australia

nobody@vox.com(Shanay@jigjigoil.com) — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 20:36:43 +1000

Hi to everyone,

I am a sex worker in Australia. I am very interested in hearing from anyone else who's life is as interesting as mine. Work is fun and creative, with lots of random and funny things that happen every day. It is an art and a I love to give back to the community in a unique way. Both men and women visit brothels in Australia, to relax and have a great time. Would love to hear from anyone who has questions but could or would never ask.

Maintain Your Physical Wellbeing

nobody@vox.com(Shanay@jigjigoil.com) — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:22:35 +1000

While it’s vital for everyone to maintain a healthy state of physical well being, it is especially important for sex workers. The level of physical intimacy between sex workers and their clientele far exceeds that of any other occupation, putting sex workers at a far greater risk of contracting STIs and other communicable diseases.

This fact sheet provides tips on how to maintain your physical wellbeing, and includes topics such as keeping your immune system strong, looking after your skin, protecting your oral health, visiting your GP and looking after yourself.

Be responsible for your health

Apart from maintaining regular sexual health checks, sex workers must be responsible for their own overall physical health. Knowing when not to work is crucial for sex workers and could mean the difference between life and death.

Keep your immune system strong

Our immune system helps our bodies fight off infection caused by bacteria we come into contact with. It is very important for sex workers to keep this mighty defence mechanism at optimum levels. To keep your immune system strong:

• Ensure you get regular exercise, enough sleep and a healthy diet.

•

Consider taking monitored vitamin supplements to boost your immune system’s efficiency. Herbs such as echinacea, ginseng and garlic are known to boost the immune system.

•

Try to avoid excessive intake of immune depleting substances such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine.

•

Avoid high levels of stress as this can have major effects on the immune system. Stress and lack of rest can impair your immune system and make you more vulnerable to infections. Relieve stress though activities such as meditation, yoga, walking, swimming, even macramé and laughing. A healthy body and a healthy mind, make a healthy immune system. Even a half-tired body means a half-tired immune system. Don’t take a risk - take a rest.
Look after your skin

Many sex workers have constant direct skin contact with their clientele. This can (and usually does) involve a lot of friction which can cause microscopic breaks in the skin’s outer layer. These skin breaks enable the possible transmission of various infections. It is not uncommon for many sex workers to develop a hygiene obsession, involving excessive rubbing and scrubbing with often harsh soaps. This can lead to many unwanted, unfavourable skin conditions which make working difficult and unpleasant.

Due to these issues, it is highly recommended that sex workers follow "best practice" when it comes to skin care. Use a gentle moisturising cleanser rich in vegetable oils, and be sure to moisturise after every shower/bath. Sorbolene or Aqueous creams are suitable and affordable moisturisers, as is Aloe Vera, which works to form a protective layer on the skin. After showering and while the body is slightly wet, apply moisturiser in a light, gentle polishing manner all over the body, including the face. This should take less than a minute. Not only Drinking lots of fresh water will also help maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Protect your oral health

As many infections can be passed on through bleeding gums or cuts/sores in the mouth, healthy gums can be as crucial as condoms for sex workers.

To protect your oral health:

•

Visit your dentist regularly.

•

Floss and brush after meals.

•

Do not brush or floss immediately prior to receiving clients as this can aggravate the gums and cause bleeding. Gargle with water if necessary and keep some mints handy.
Visit your GP

It is strongly recommended that sex workers find a GP who they can be honest with. Your doctor should know you are working in the sex industry, particularly if you live in a remote area and do not have access to a sexual health clinic. Not only do sex workers require more thorough and regular STI testing, this will also help your GP determine the most suitable treatment. Your GP will be familiar with common infections that can be easily transmitted by close contact and kissing (eg. glandular fever, ringworm, tinea and other viral illnesses such as the flu). You may like to consider flu vaccinations to keep your immune system strong. Your GP can also be a valuable referral source to many other specialist services.

Look after yourself

• Ensure you lead a balanced lifestyle - work, rest, play.

•

Establish boundaries between your personal and professional life. Try not to become too involved with clients.

•

Working in the sex industry can be both physical and mentally draining. Make sure you take time off when you’re feeling burnt out. Good financial management allows you to take time off whenever you need it.

•

Talk about issues with someone you trust before they become big problems.

•

Don’t become a slave to your phone or workplace.

•

Find constructive ways to spend time in between clients. Reading a book or doing exercises like sit-ups or yoga are good ways to pass time.

•

Nurture yourself and give to yourself, so that you have something to give others.

will you have beautiful skin, you may also

discover that you never need to buy

expensive moisturisers again.

Please pass this on to everyone !

nobody@vox.com(Shanay@jigjigoil.com) — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:19:59 +1000

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rear-riew miror to back out of your parking space and you look notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACCROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this now.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family. a purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS !!!!
