17 Sex Workers Open About The Heartbreaking Jobs That Pushed Their Emotions To The Brink

16.

“Not me, but my ex-boyfriend was a sex worker for the first half of our relationship.”

“Aside from his relationship with me, the last client he saw was one of the tipping points that made him quit. He was back home visiting his family and decided to respond to someone’s post. When he showed up, it was his grade school music teacher. My ex was quite the piano prodigy, so he said that when he walked in, his teacher’s face was pure sadness, as my ex was one of his favorite students.

They ended up not doing anything sexual, and the two of them had a lovely conversation catching up on where their lives had taken them (at this point, my ex was a senior in college).

After they finished talking, the man had my ex play the piano for him in his home. He said that after that moment, he just couldn’t handle sex work anymore.”
