Flirt for ‘free’

 

Oh, hi. 

Welcome to a ton of dick. And I don't kid you when I say 'a ton', because Flirt for Free has a ton of naked men selling what you're buying. And the key word here is 'selling'. This post came to be because Jon wrote in his blog that when he called some men who work in sites just like Flirt for Free some bristled because he called them 'sex workers'. So let's see what a sex worker is, according to wiki:

A sex worker is a person who provides sex work, either on a regular or occasional basis.^[1] The term is used in reference to those who work in all areas of the sex industry.

So the men who work at Flirt for Free would indeed be sex workers, right? If we take into account that they are selling sex (not intercourse, mind you) and that the nature of their work is sexual per se, they therefore be... sex workers. They are literally selling... sex. They purposefully arouse themselves and arouse those watching them with a view to a climax in exchange for... money. That's sex work. And I said as much in Jon's comment section:

Oh, they gave you an earful?

So they sell sex but are not 'sex workers'? The cognitive dissonance here causes whiplash. Maybe they don't have sex for money, but they sell the illusion of sex? Is it because most of the people tipping them are gay men and they're going the 'no homo' route?

Go ahead, invite them to post their thoughts here. For me, someone who sells sex, is by definition, a sex worker. Do they engage in sexual acts for money? That may be the difference they're making (some of those men masturbate, use prostate masaggers linked to the tokens, and are rewarded with money when they cum alone; but some do bring other men to have sex with them in front of the cams. For money.) and they may be able to explain that difference better. Are they conflating getting money from men and being gay? What is the deal??

Your point was not lost, BTW. You were clear and concise and very eloquent.

Yet I insist Donna Summer has been right all this time...

Flirt for Free and the myriad sites that provide customers with an eyeful of dick and ass and pecs and abs certainly qualify as a place where people are selling... sexual titillation? The goal is literally make their viewers cum. Their bodies are the merchandise. 

You see, these beautiful men strip down to their briefs and then take them off for a token. A token that the men watching (because, let's be real, very few women go to these sites) first get for 'free' and then have to pay for. Because that's the hook (no pun intended): the first tokens are usually given to you, anything 'extra' you have to, well, buy with your credit card. Oh, yes. They accept Visa and MasterCard. Oh, one of the perks? Every time you give a model a token, there is a high probability that it will activate a buttplug he's wearing and that vibrates and gives the object of your lust the tingle to mingle. Ingenious, no? I would say Pavlovian, but that's just me. So you do have a motivation to buy more tokens. What if it is your token the magic one? It's like Willy Wonka, but with hard dicks. 

The difference between these sites and let's say, Chaturbate, is that in Chaturbate you usually do not pay. It's a 'free' site (even though there could be 'exchanges' between the watcher and the watched). In Flirt for Free and the such, the token is up and front when you log on. How do I know? Well, I signed up for it. Research, you know...

One thing that irks me is that a woman doing this would immediately be seen as a sex worker. No ifs or buts. But why not the men? What is it that makes people think that when a woman takes her clothes off and touches herself for money she's a whore but a man that does exactly the same (and we can see when he cums) is not? Oh, the lines we draw in the sand.

The men are usually on the 'young' side (if you think that men in their late twenties and early thirties are young, but hey, I don't know you...) and are more often than not, very athletic and very handsome. Kind of like Jon's Latin American 'friends'. And I'm sure that most of them have a day job and this is their side gig. Like working for GrubHub to pay for their Xbox. 

And the site itself is just as you imagined: a cornucopia of beautiful men ready to let you ogle them. And give them some tokens. 

Miles and miles of taut, naked flesh, sculpted abs, perky butts and hard dicks. From the guy next door to the god next gym. Yep. just like heaven.

Oh, and they are always on the lookout for new and fresh faces and bodies. And it seems that being a webcam 'model' definitely beats waiting tables:

So, let's recap: attractive men in a website undress, parade, masturbate and cum (usually with the help of buttplugs that are linked to the tokens you give) for other men who are watching them online in exchange for 'tokens'. Said tokens could be translated into somehow $1,000 per ten hours of work and sometimes the promise of $192,000 when working 40 hours per week.

It sounds like sex work to me? 

They've got what you want, you've got what they need. They'll be yours for the right amount of tokens. Maybe what these men do not like is that because they are getting money from gay/bi men who pay to watch them undress, masturbate and cum, they may somehow be considered gay/bi themselves? Is that it? Gay by Token? Is this a case of the No Homo?

 I think those hunks should rest assured that not even if they are indeed sucking dick and fucking some bouncy ass in Flirt for Free, they would not be allowed to still call themselves 'straight'. After all, Gay Porn is crawling with  gay for pay performers that once they stop taking ten inches up the ass run home to their wives/families and that's it. All in a day's work.

So what's your take, Constant Reader? Would being on sites like Flirt for Free make one of these men a sex worker? What is sex work, then? How do you define sex work? Would the cam girls int that site not be sex workers? Just good girls with a cam and a push up bra? Where do you draw the line? Was Donna Summer right?

I'll leave you with your thoughts, then. and if you wanna go take a look by yourself, feel Free: Flirt for Free is waiting for you...
