Hi, allow me to introduce myself. My name's Martika. I'm 30 and I'm a 3rd generation prostitute and I've been so for the last 16 years. I've always worked the streets, never even bothering to think about any other form of prostitution. Streetwalking is the one for me!
So I know my shit, right? Right!
So let's get on with it!
Attitude ; attitude is everything! You walk it how you talk it. You have to act confidently or otherwise you'll get swallowed up by all the fuckers out there that'll just take you for a ride! You don't need that shit! You are out on the streets to sell pussy, bitch, nothing else. Act accretive and you'll have less problems.
Some slags do try to create a new character for themselves. Changing their name, or at least telling the punters your new identity helps to put some distance between the 'real' you and the 'role' that you are playing. Many girls have special clothes, makeup and perfume that their 'streetwalker' self uses but they'll never touch in real life. I get this. I have many friends that do this. It helps them, psychologically, accept what they're doing. Sometimes some of us bitches get asked to do degrading things or the punters will say something 'nasty' whilst they're fucking us. So, having this other 'persona' can help matters. However, some girls drift into drink and drugs to cope...
And that's another thing! Drink and drugs does go with the lifestyle. I, myself, and a drug user and a reformed alcoholic. It's very easy to get sucked into this kinda shit. Takes the edge of things that happen on the street or, indeed, get you psyched up to sell pussy in the first place! What I'd recommend is to not get so pissed or high that you can't function; you're running a business afterall. Make sure you know what's happening to yourself and what you're doing. Stay alert!
I really don't want to see some bitch getting fuckin' high and ending up dead in a ditch or alleyway...
