Sex Worker D.: "They complain that hell is at the front, but still return there"

From the beginning of the war, no one understood how this would affect the sex work. Before the mobilization announcement, everything was fine, and after - the outflow of men began abroad. It is precisely solvent who are active buyers of sex services. And the second outflow is mobilized, of which there are hundreds of thousands. They left, and we lost our customers and our income.

This led to great risks for sex workers, for example, they take such customers who were not taken before. Previously, not everyone worked with immigrants from Central Asia, but now they work because there are no other customers. Immigrants do not have much money, and because of this, many girls are forced to lower the fee and increase the flow. Sometimes they take drunk, in a state of drug intoxication, before such customers were refused, but now they are forced to take. There are no men - no work, but no work - no money. And there are no men because of the war.

The community of sex workers is very different and the attitude to what is happening is also different. There are those who are categorically against the war and want the victory of Ukraine, others on the side of Russia. And there are those who do not care, and the main thing for them is work, they even use the war for marketing. For example, they say that they provide discounts to the participants in military operations, I met such ads in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I saw that the salons offer the format of the service - to come and punish bad Ukrainians, that is, "eat Ukrainian." Men themselves began to ask for a discount on dating sites or calls on advertising: “I fought, I defended my homeland, and you have to either give me for free or take less money.”

Clients themselves are now asking for a discount: “I fought and defended my homeland, you have to take less money from me”

In Novosibirsk there is one sex worker, Angela, who works on the highway. She chose mobilization points and military commissariats with points of her work. There are many men, they want to relieve stress, leave the military registration and enlistment office, see Angela with the car and go to it to relieve stress. This is such a landmark. For her, war is a way to find a place of accumulation of customers. In one of the publics, I read that on one of the shells intended for Ukraine, it was written: “For Angela”.

Some pimps transferred their brothels closer to places where mobilized preparations are being prepared. Men there are alone, without wives, they have enough money, because they should pay there. So among the pimps, fights even happen. It is impossible to get there to individuals there, and to the brothels - yes. Of course, all this is done with the permission of local police, because without them such issues are not resolved.

Another consequence of the war, in addition to losing customers, is a fear for personal security, the need to work with dangerous customers. Those clients who fought and returned-everyone behaves differently. If a person was adequate in peacetime, then he, in principle, remains adequate, and if he was an aggressive idiot, now he is even worse. In St. Petersburg there was a case when a whole unit of seven-eight people came, they were on vacation and arranged noise, one had a grenade, and he threatened to blow up everyone. Then it turned out that the grenade was not real, but the girls did not know this. There are enough such fools in peacetime, but now it’s scary, because there are a lot of weapons.

Girls sometimes say that customers come who say that they fought and that they need to go back, but they do not want, because there is a nightmare and hell, but they do not see another way out for themselves. Such behave adequately.

The Russian military also order virtual services and self -satisfied in the trenches, dugouts and shelters, right at the front. Many sex workers provide real services and virtual ones. The price tag is usually much lower: from 500 rubles in 10 minutes, although it can reach 3,000. It depends on what they order. Therefore, this is more a part -time job. Most girls will not refuse to make a virtual for a surcharge, show something-some with an open face, and someone with a closed face does it. It may just be a conversation on sexual topics. A man at this time may turn on the camera, or may not turn on. Many girls ask to turn on to make sure that there is not a crowd of drunken youngsters sitting.

One friend talked about such a client: he called directly from the trench, paid 1000 rubles in 10 minutes, told his fantasies. The connection there is constantly interrupted, only he will remove his pants in the bushes - he has a battery. I recently asked her: "Well, what, this comrade continues to call you?" She replied that she had stopped - maybe she found another, maybe they killed.

Sex Worker K.: "They go to war with washed brains, like in ISIS"

Due to the war, work has become less. Some of my clients live abroad. They are Russian -speaking, but do not come here. Someone in America, someone in China, someone else. The same thing happened when the first sanctions were imposed in 2014. I worked in the cabin, there were no customers at all, one girl did the whole salon for an hour a week, and we all lived with this money. Then, slowly, everything crawled up, but in a wave -like. And now again - there are work for three days, and four are silence.

I met with one client who went to the front as a volunteer. He received the Putin award and decided to spend it on prostitutes. That guy gave everything to us. He took off his new T -shirt and gave me. He was happy and said how lucky he was with us. He drank whiskey all the time and listened to a propaganda song about the war on YouTube: a Basta or some other of our poppies. He said that he would go once again, that he should defend his homeland. He was not violent, but with washed brains. There are ISIS who prepare suicide bombers who are ready to kill themselves - here he was like that. This is not even in words to convey what shock to see a person in this state. And he is young, and not a fool. Why did he go there?

It seems to me that they simply do not realize that it will be necessary to kill other people. And women do not understand what their husbands will have to go for. What the word "war" means to them? He went to war and brought money, but what is behind this, they do not want to think. But many are also bloodthirsty. For example, he is thumping, and she, perhaps, generally thinks: “They will kill him, and thank God. They will give me a bonus and it will be slammed. Pi*dil me for two years, and now I will live happily. ” I don't know how else to think about it. This is very strange.

Their wives also do not understand what war is, they think - they went to war and brought money, and what is behind this, they do not want to think

Because of the war, the girls also often began to work abroad, because in Moscow there is no work. One friend left for China and is now sitting there in prison. She was going to Macau - to work in a casino, and she got into a twenty -story brothel house. There is such a house - and in each room a prostitute. They come to her on Shot - the express is this: they are doing business and leave. Friends who went there took two or three million rubles in a month, but this is directly a conveyor. You go for a month and earn your apartment or car.

Another friend was recently threatened by a client. His leg was torn off in the war, and we joked at him: "You never know where he will arrive and where he will lose." Before that, she drove the car to him for that, and he wanted to deceive her. He said: “You have a rotten car, you need to invest a lot of money in it. Let's do everything to you. ” Therefore, we treated him so. In response, he called from different numbers and threatened her: “I will tear your head off your head. I’ll calculate you on the cameras, and you will have a khan. ” Of course, it is unpleasant to hear this, but, on the other hand, do not be shit, and you will not be the same.

There was another client from the top of the middle class and quite educated. When they announced mobilization, he said that this is a man’s business - to defend his homeland, and we must go. He is my peer. Many of my peers think that if they said, then you have to go. But there are men who believe that all this for the sake of making people who are in power.

Dominatrix Y.: "My work is to take an injury"

I can’t say that there are a lot of customers, but there is some surge. When people understand that perhaps death ahead. My specificity is dominatrix, many men dream about it, but admitting to themselves is a feat, calling is a feat even more, and come is generally heroism. And when acute moments occur in politics, the first two stages pass quickly, and they quickly move men to the third step.

Faced with an abyss unknown, people want to get to know their body better

I had guests who came on vacation with “sucker”, but so that they were some wild, I did not notice. But this is due to the fact that I am dominant and carry out violence in a game format with mandatory stroking later. I mean: to blow into the wound, tea coffee, pour it. On the contrary, they are looking for a acceptance of a figure in me, perhaps a mother to plunge into care.

They come to me to be distracted. What is the point of experiencing him again those events in which he will plunge again, for example, after a few days? Therefore, our whole meeting, in fact, is devoted to a psychological dialogue. We talk a lot, and about very personal, intimate. Sometimes we remember school loves, the first sexual experiments, these are secrets that he would not share with anyone else. We are not discussing politics. When a person comes from the war, he first of all wants to talk about himself and that first love, about that first girl who did not kiss him then or, conversely, forced him to kiss. And now he asks: "Make you kiss you." It is always very personal.

In fact, what is my work? This is an injury. And he understands: “She does not condemn me, she understands me, because then, in my 15 years, I was very scared at the disco to kiss the girl. And this woman accepts me as I am. ” But the fact that men want to be understood, and want to find at least for a short time a haven for their experiences is always outside of politics, it is always purely personal, intimate.
