Sex Work & Digital Safety

Written by: Behavior Analyst

Online privacy is a concern for everyone, from celebrities to the neighbor next door, and most notably, for sex workers of all categories.

One way to ensure your privacy is protected is not to click external links that might be given through chat or email, even if they appear to be trustworthy websites. It might seem harmless at first, but sometimes one click can ultimately expose your identity. The innocent, funny viral video link could potentially show the person who shared it your identification. Many popular, professional networking websites show users who have viewed their profile and several social media outlets are notorious for suggesting other members to befriend and follow, all of which could put your real-life personal accounts in jeopardy of being exposed. Even the most popular porn websites could present traceable information to the person who shared a video to view with them.

Additionally, please use caution when sharing any photos on adult websites that are also shared on personal social media apps. Those images can be cross-searched and uncover private profiles over to savvy, curious fans. When taking pictures with a cell phone, make sure the location tags are off, or scrub any metadata before using them on adult profiles to help safeguard your confidentiality.

These are just a few essential tips to take into account when considering your digital safety but they are certainly not all-inclusive. If someone asks you to read an article, view porn together, or laugh at the newest viral dance video, ask them for the title to look it up on your own, don’t click that link!

In the meantime, rest assured that NiteFlirt takes your privacy seriously and your safety is our utmost concern – so if you’re looking to let some of the stress of the real world go, we guarantee we have just the thing to help you relax.

Sex Workers Can Now Legally Solicit Johns On The Street In Victoria

A new law makes it legal for sex workers to operate on Victoria‘s streets. The change comes after lawmakers decided sex workers would feel safer and be able to access support more easily. Consumer Affairs Minister said the shift was “an important milestone for sex work decriminalisation in Victoria.”

Ingrid Stitt, Workplace Safety Minister in Victoria, explained that everyone deserves to feel safe at work: “With a dedicated Sex Work Safety Team within WorkSafe, we’ll make sure sex work is regulated appropriately, with the best guidance and procedures in place to keep workers safe.” International studies have shown that allowing sex workers to solicit sex “doesn’t increase sex work, it just makes it safer,” the Workplace Safety Minister said. “It just enables those sex workers to be able to report crimes against them and, given the nature of the work, they can often be vulnerable to that.”

Sexpert Reveals Crucial Mistake Women Make With Their Sex Toys

From dildos to butt plugs, sex toys seem pretty straight-forward—but according to an expert, there’s a crucial mistake women make. “Never, ever leave a vibe on charge for more than two hours,” she says. “Though it’s scandalously uncommon knowledge, most sex toys contain lithium-ion batteries—the same kind you’ll find in your laptop—which are sensitive to lengthy charging.”

She explained, “Leaving your vibrator plugged in overnight, or for an entire weekend, can create an unstable environment inside the battery, increasing pressure and ultimately putting your vibe at risk of burning out.” She advised waiting until the battery is low, but not dead, before charging. She also said to avoid hot environments: “Heat is extremely destructive to lithium-ion batteries, and definitely not your friend when you own a vibrator (it can also degrade the silicone most toys are made out of).”

Sex Club Hosting Safe Halloween Orgy Amidst COVID-19

One of the most notorious sex clubs is back for Halloween with a bang (literally). Snctm—which has reportedly hosted Gywneth Paltrow and Bill Maher at its orgies in the past—has been (probably not-all-that) quietly hosting small events, and it’s planning another bacchanal for Halloween. “Thus far, they’ve held two events since returning from hiatus, all with COVID rapid testing of every person who enters the premises,” said an insider.

They’re using temperature checks, Quidel’s Sofia swab tests, which Snctm says have a “reported sensitivity greater than 97 percent,” and are limiting sex parties to thirty participants. Invitations to the Black Death-themed Halloween party (of course that’s the theme) say the normal “armed security will be augmented at the door by a board-certified physician and his team performing SARS-CoV-2 rapid testing.” Asked if people were still having sex at the parties in spite of the pandemic, a spokesperson said, “I would say thus far the behavior of our guests within the parties has indicated a great pent-up demand for our events, and an appreciation of the precautions we have undertaken.”

Singles Share Their Rules For Fucking After Lockdown

As lockdown restrictions loosen across the US, horny singles are excitedly diving back into the hook-up scene. But before they can get busy, they’re laying down some ground rules. “It’s almost like having a conversation about STDs, but now it’s coronavirus,” says a frisky college student.

One single male says his criteria is somewhat lax:  “I wanted to be reasonably sure they weren’t having orgies,” he says. He admits that he “wasn’t paranoid” about getting back out there because “I was horny and lonely.” He adds, “The risk outweighs the reward. But if a cutie with a booty messaged me — I would be hard pressed to say ‘no.’”

Sexpert Advises BDSM In Quarantine

Quarantine horniness is reaching its climax, which is why one sex therapist has a safe solution: BDSM. She says, “Kink or sensation play means taking into account all of your sensations and really amplifying those,” including “sensory deprivation, which is very sexy and has been happening for a long time.” Her advice comes from a larger primer by the Chicago Tribune on sex during the coronavirus pandemic—which mentions that kissing can be a high-risk activity during foreplay.

She also advises people with more than one sexual partner to be fully open and honest about their sexual interactions with others: “I think folks in the polyamorous community might have a leg up on more monogamous folks these days because they’re used to over-communication about consent and safer sex practices.” As for sex itself, she recommends positions that aren’t face-to-face, such as anal sex or doggy style, as well as dental dams and condoms. Her most important piece of advice is good hygiene: “sex toys, countertops, bed frames, bathroom, or anything else that you and your partner might have come into contact with before, during and after sex.”

Canadian Health Authorities Recommend “Glory Holes”

Canada has a brilliant idea for how to minimize risk while fucking amid the coronavirus pandemic: glory holes. The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control advises the public to “use barriers, like walls (e.g., glory holes), that allow for sexual contact but prevent close face-to-face contact.” The health chiefs also encourage people to wear face masks during sex and to use condoms, lubricant, and dental dams to “further reduce the risk by minimizing contact with saliva, semen and feces during sex.”

While it might sound strange for the government to be championing glory holes, New York had similar advice for citizens in its Covid-19 sex guide: “Make it a little kinky. Be creative with sexual positions and physical barriers, like walls, that allow sexual contact while preventing close face to face contact.” Although Covid-19 is not known to spread through sex, it could be transmitted in the breath and saliva of people who are close together if one of them is infected.

Bolivian Sex Workers Wear See-Through Rain Jackets As “Biosecurity Suits”

Bolivian sex workers are preparing to return to work after lockdown—with gloves, bottles of bleach and see-through raincoats. The thigh-high “biosecurity suits” are among a number of recommendations in a 30-page coronavirus security manual drawn up by the Organization of Night Workers of Bolivia (OTN). The group is pushing authorities to lift the restrictions put in place during the lockdown.

One sex worker demonstrated how she could layer on top a paper face mask, plastic visor, gloves and a raincoat—in addition to donning a thong, a sequined eye-mask and a sheer, crotch-height dress for work. She gave a demonstration of how she sprays a bleach solution on the pole she uses to dance for clients at the brothel that she operates with several other women. “The biosecurity suit will allow us to work and protect ourselves,” she said. “Our clients respect the issue of safety, that we are taking these measures for our security, but also for theirs.”

NYC’s Hottest Sex Club Is Doing Socially Distanced Orgies

A members-only sex club in NYC is open for frisky business. During Phase Two of reopening, the group called NSFW has opened their clubhouse doors again with an assortment of new rules and regulations that take the risk out of risqué. “We had to figure out how to do this in the safest way possible, where no one feels at risk or in danger, but can still enjoy themselves,” says NSFW founder.

In addition to the city-issued guidelines for group sex, including to fuck in a well-ventilated area and keep alcohol-based sanitizer on hand, the club also drafted additional safety precautions. They include mandatory temperature checks at the door, bringing a separate change of clean clothes in a plastic bag, wearing a mask and gloves, using sanitation stations throughout the space, and of course, “no new sex,” which means you can’t hook up with anyone besides the partner you came with. “We have enough room to give each other space, so we’re asking members to engage in a ‘no new play’ policy, which means come and play with a partner and experience NSFW for the exhibitionist and voyeuristic sides of it,” says NSFW of the 3,000-square-foot clubhouse the group uses for sex parties.

California Now Requires Porn Stars To Wear Goggles During Shoots

gogglespicCalifornia’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health has recently taken even more extreme measures to shut down the porn industry. It’s well known that California no longer wants the adult entertainment industry to operate there, so the state has been finding ways to force porn makers out with increasingly oppressive rules and regulations. There’s now a 21-page document of safety standards outlining in graphic detail the mandatory “safety precautions” each adult film actor must take when performing various sex acts—including wearing safety goggles!

Under the category “Personal Protective Equipment,” porn actors are required to wear and/or be provided with “condoms, gloves for cleaning, and, if contact of the eyes with OPIM-STI [pre-ejaculate, ejaculate, semen, vaginal secretions, fecal matter and rectal secretions, etc.] is reasonably anticipated, eye protection.” After this latest low blow, porn producers aren’t the only ones calling foul on California’s openly hostile regulations on the porn industry. Diane Duke, the CEO of the Canoga Park-based Free Speech Coalition, said in the LA Daily News that “These are regulations designed for medical settings, and are unworkable on an adult film set — or even a Hollywood film set.” She’s advocating for those in the adult film industry to have more input in creating these so-called safety standards “in ways that protect adult film performers without stigmatizing and shutting down an entire industry.”

Geez, California—it’s bad enough you have a terrible drought; stop trying to dry up porn too! Come celebrate the freedom of adult entertainment with us—no safety goggles required!
