A former Geylang prostitute shared a story about how her life changed after she stopped having s*x for money and took a private degree instead.
Here is the story:
“Admin please keep my identity a secret.
I used to work as a prostitute along Geylang, my family was poor and I wanted to make quick money.
It was not the easiest of jobs because there were many risks involved.
Some of the risks include clients refusing to pay after fking, so I made it a point to collect payment first before service start.
There is also the risk of police raids and I have seen a few close shaves.
Of course, there is always the risk of contracting an STD because of the number of men that we fk.
Life hasn’t been very easy with the whole pandemic, business has been slow and I could make more money working in a proper job.
With the money that I earned and saved up over the years, I enrolled into *school name withheld* and am currently studying a private business degree.
My life is so much better and I don’t need to be at the mercy of men touching and groping me.
I’ve had so much s* over the years that I am sick and tired of it.
Thankfully I never caught any STDs as well.
Now I am living a much more peaceful life and my only focus is on my studies.
I spend my free time studying and working part time jobs to earn some extra money and kill time.
Nobody at work knows I used to be a prostitute.
Even my own family also doesn’t know, god.. Those were some chaotic times.
My family is also in a much better place.
Honestly this pandemic is like a blessing in disguise for me and I’m just glad that I don’t have to sleep with strangers anymore.
To all those s*x workers out there, be brave and take a leap of faith, stop degrading yourselves and do something worthwhile with your lives.”
Editor’s note: There’s a silver lining after all, really happy for you and hope you’re doing well in school.
