Selling yourself online.

I've been exploring the morality around selling yourself. It's all well known that most people condemn selling yourself as morally wrong, and de-grading.
However, it can be seen as a fetish, not a morally right one in the eyes of some, but what is the motive behind the people who are selling themselves in this way?

It's no lie that a lot of young people are struggling financially today, and we've found that quite a few people are selling themselves in this way online, sending photos and videos for a few quid a bunch, in order to pay their rent, buy their food, etc.

Is it really that wrong for two consensual people to do business this way? I don't believe it is, if consent is given between both sides, then were is the harm in this person selling a few pictures online, and the other person accepting and paying? The hurt and the upset comes if those people have partners and haven't agreed to their partner either selling or paying for these explicit materials.

But should we really judge these ways in which people make their lives a little more financially stable. If a few explicit pictures can save a family from being kicked out on the street, or keep people fed for a few more days. Then doesn't the good outweigh the fact of morally?

What do you guys think? Would you buy a few pictures to help someone financially? Or would you sell a few photos online to earn a few extra pennies?

Patience my dear.

As many of you know, I've signed up to a couple of dating/etc websites, and during the last couple of months, I've been picking out things either in the conversations or in the behaviour of the people I've been talking to.
One of the things that aggravates me is the lack of patience some people have when it comes to people replying to them...

How long should we wait if someone hasn't replied to us? And how should we react if someone doesn't reply to us? If we should react at all?
Especially when we're talking to people online, it's perfectly possible that person has left their laptop or whatever for a few minutes to go and do something.
I find this type of thing especially rude when you're on sites where you inbox people rather than talk on instant chat, because you can't always tell if someone is still online or not.
So what reasoning do people have to be rude towards someone in this situation?

I have received a number of rude messages off people when I've not replied in a quick amount of time, EG;

'WHY THE F**K YOU EVEN ON THIS SITE IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REPLY TO PEOPLE'

'OMG well if you're just going to stop talking then at least tell me why!!!!!!!'

You have to admit it does make you look like a bit of a tool tbh! Should we really behave this way to people we don't know? Or to anyone in fact?

Another thing that can be shown through the impatience of people is desperation..
EG;
'Oh im sorry, have i said something to offend you? im sorry' (35mins ago)
'Are you still there? Im sorry, i really want to talk to you' (31mins ago)
'Ok, i'll assume you dont want to talk to me, :( :( :( plz '(26mins ago)

^^ Not the worst example I could show, but you get the idea.
One thing you need to remember when you're talking to people either online or over text etc, you don't always get an instant reply like you do when talking to someone face to face, so if someone doesn't reply straight away, chill out. If people are going to reply to you, then they will. If they don't want to, don't humiliate yourself by hassling people and making yourself seem possessive/angry or desperate

And most importantly, don't ruin your chances of meeting someone lovely by doing this! It's a big mistake people make.
These are your first impressions you're making towards people, you need to make sure it's a good one!
