Question and answer session

Question asked via Email are answered here. Forget the scientists. They do not have HIV and they are funded by profit oriented firms. You are already capable of avoiding HIV.

[1] In your own opinion why do men seek prostitutes?

Men who seek prostitutes are usually

  • Men with a low self esteem

  • Men who think their penis is too small to please a woman

  • Men who hate women including their wives

  • Men who are not confident about their sexual performance with their wives

  • 99% of men who go to sex workers are married. I hardly ever saw single men in 8 years
They want a bit of praise for the one thing a man should be able to do. From what I hear from these men, wives do not peptalk their husbands during sex. The man does not know whether he is good or bad. Sex workers share ideas and we do pep talk clients, even some really rubbish ones. It raises their estimates of themselves.

[2] Is it possible for a man to seek the same prostitute several times.

Yes if you live in the same area for long enough, you will have certain men visit several times and they even start to express love to you. I had a few begging me to marry them. They do not understand that it is your job to have sex with them. They think you are doing it because you love them. You play along because they pay more that way. Men are not sexually very bright.

[3] What percentage of men do use condoms?

Most non-black men have no problems with condoms. Its just black men whether they are in Europe or Africa. They find condoms intimidating and try not to use them. I would estimate at maybe 15% of black men will offer you more money to avoid using a condom. They also tend to be men who overrate their sexual skills verbally, and try to sound confident, when you just know they are here because they either have no regular girl, or if they have one, they have no idea whether she is satisfied or not.

[4] Is there any use of drugs in sex work?
The reason why most sex workers, especially in Europe end up with no money at all after earning so much is that they use drugs. Drugs are introduced in two paths. The first is that the person already using drugs becomes a sex worker to raise funds to support the habit. The second is that the pimp introduces a young sex worker to drugs so that she is compelled to obey him as he supplies the drugs and she hands over the money she makes to him in exchange. Both these paths are very common. In SADC drugs are not that popular, but some sex workers use them. Other sex workers are drug dealers and sex workers at the same time.

[5] Do sex workers have any other jobs?
Some women do it part time. But once you start earning from sex work, you will notice that it is not worth going to any other job because the earnings are high. In London you can easily earn over GBP 600 per 4 hour day.

[6] Is it possible to have a steady boyfriend and yet one is a sex worker?
In SADC pimps are not that popular though you find men who pimp their girlfriends or wives. This is because the biz is lucrative. There are many men have girlfriends or wives who are sex workers. So yes in Africa, Europe and elsewhere you find many married women who are sex workers. I have worked at boarder posts at Chirundu, Beit Bridge, Plumtree, there were married women who worked with us with the full knowledge of their husbands. In Europe that is common. Some men marry sex workers after meeting them on the job. These remain sex workers after marriage.

[7] Ever experienced any violence from men during your trade?
Violence from the men themselves, from their wives, from other sex workers for taking clients off them, from the pimp of you got one, is common. When I had a pimp in UK, he insisted on being the last one to have sex with me each day. If I tried to refuse, I got threats and he demanded more money from me. It can be very violent.

[8] Condom use-is it possible for a condom to wear off during intercourse?
They do not wear off as such. They can slip off or tear. A condom an easily slip off and remain inside the vagina, requiring to be pulled out with fingers.
It can also burst so that the tip is open and semen flows into the vagina but the condom is still on the penis.

[9] Can a sex worker have more than one session with different clients in one night?
A sex worker has sex at any time of the day, night or day. It is possible to have as many clients as can come. It is not uncommon to have sex with more than 15 men in a day.

The only time you have sex with one man is when on hire. You can be on hire the whole weekend or sometime when the man who hires you is on a business trip. You only have him during the trip.
[10] The femidon or female condom, is it widely used? If not why?
The femidom is better for women. It is stronger and most sex workers wash them and reuse them. This means that the clients can infect each other without affecting the sex worker. That is why I like them. They are a bit more fiddly than the male condom to put in place, and they are a lot more expensive which is why some people reuse them. I always advise young sex workers who may still be negative to use femidoms.
