In a disturbing trend, sex workers using WhatsApp, a messaging platform owned by Meta, have reported sudden and unexplained account bans, leaving them feeling vulnerable and isolated. This article explores the experiences of sex workers like Alice, Reed Thomas-Litman, and Danielle, shedding light on the potential consequences of such bans on their safety, privacy, and professional networks.

The Disappearance of Digital Identities

For Alice, a 34-year-old sex worker, the abrupt disappearance of her six years' worth of messages, contacts, and media on WhatsApp was a distressing experience. The messaging app, known for its encryption features, has been a lifeline for sex workers like her, providing a secure means of communication with clients and a support network for colleagues. However, recent account bans without clear violation notices have left sex workers perplexed and anxious about the future.

Meta's Crackdown on Sexual Content

The ban on sex workers from WhatsApp echoes a broader trend observed across Meta's platforms, including Instagram. Sex workers engaging in online promotion of their services have faced shadowbans and account removals, making it a common occurrence in the industry. Alice, having faced bans on Instagram multiple times, expected a similar fate on WhatsApp. However, the lack of clarity and communication regarding the reasons for the ban has heightened concerns for the affected individuals.

Personal Impact on Sex Workers

Reed Thomas-Litman, a sex influencer and part of the duo Come Curious, expressed the devastation caused by her recent WhatsApp ban. Unlike her numerous Instagram bans, the removal from WhatsApp affected her deeply. Reed, who set up a group chat for sex workers, lost access to crucial support, creating a sense of isolation and upheaval in her life and work. The ban not only impacted her mental well-being but also raised questions about the validity of the ban itself.

Legal Complexities and Consequences

The legal complexities surrounding sex work in the UK further complicate the issue. While sex work is technically legal, certain laws criminalize communication between sex workers, such as group chats. The English Collective of Prostitutes highlights the challenges sex workers face, both legally and socially, and the critical role platforms like WhatsApp play in providing support networks.

WhatsApp's Encryption and Confusion

The use of end-to-end encryption by WhatsApp has left many sex workers puzzled about how their activities are being flagged. While the app claims that only the communicating parties can access the content, Meta's spokesperson revealed that group chat titles and display names are not encrypted. This information, sometimes used to identify illegal activities, raises questions about the level of privacy and security provided by the platform.

Loss of Support Networks and Safety Risks

For sex workers like Danielle, who lost access to her WhatsApp account unexpectedly, the consequences go beyond just lost messages. The platform served as a crucial tool for communication and vetting clients, ensuring a layer of safety in their profession. The removal of this digital lifeline has not only affected her income but also raised concerns about her personal safety.

Challenges to Advocacy and Privacy

When contacted for comment, WhatsApp provided limited information, requesting personal phone numbers of the interviewed sex workers. The refusal to provide this information to protect sources' anonymity further highlights the challenges sex workers face in advocating for their rights and privacy. The reliance on platforms like WhatsApp for emergency helplines adds an additional layer of concern, especially as anti-sex sentiments rise globally.

The Larger Cultural Context

The bans on Meta platforms and the legal landscape surrounding sex work occur in the backdrop of an escalating anti-sex sentiment, exemplified by legislations like the UK's Online Safety Bill and the U.S. FOSTA-SESTA bills. Sex workers find themselves at the center of a culture war, facing potential offline repercussions due to online crackdowns.

Conclusion

The ban on sex workers from WhatsApp, coupled with the broader context of online regulations and societal attitudes, raises serious concerns about privacy, safety, and the ability of sex workers to connect and support each other. The digital lifelines provided by platforms like WhatsApp are essential for their well-being and protection, making it imperative to address the challenges and potential unintended consequences of these bans. As discussions around online safety continue, it is crucial to consider the impact on marginalized communities, such as sex workers, and ensure their rights to privacy and support are not compromised.

As the whimsical season of 'No Nut November' comes back into play, the art of abstaining from self-love is once again thrust into the spotlight.

For the uninitiated, this challenge involves steering clear of any solo escapades for the entire month of November, with some enthusiasts claiming it's a boon for male well-being. The phenomenon has even made its mark on TikTok, where the hashtag #NNN (short for No Nut November) has garnered a staggering 15.5 billion views.

So, what exactly is the deal with No Nut November?

According to the solemn rules laid out on the Reddit thread r/nonutnovember, participants are expected to refrain from self-gratification in all its forms throughout the month. It's a challenge that's been likened to trends like 'No Shave November,' but instead of embracing facial hair, participants resist the temptation to make the bald man cry, as the Reddit community puts it.

But is 'nutting' excessively really a widespread issue?

Well, not really, says Gigi Engle, a sex and relationships psychotherapist and lead intimacy expert at the dating app 3Fun. She contends that the notion of being dependent on self-love is a myth, citing a lack of reputable scientific evidence supporting such claims. Even the DSM-5 doesn't recognize sex or porn addiction, and experts remain divided on whether one can be medically addicted to sex and masturbation.

So, why are men willingly subjecting themselves to this month-long challenge?

According to the No Nut November Reddit community, some are in it for the memes, while others seek genuine self-improvement. It's not a political movement, nor is it anti-porn or anti-women, clarifies u/yeeval, a moderator on the subreddit. He believes that while many start for the fun of the challenge, some come to realize the extent of their dependency on porn and masturbation as the days roll on.

One curious origin story attributes the challenge to a now retracted 2003 study suggesting that abstaining from self-love could spike testosterone. However, subsequent research failed to replicate these findings, highlighting issues like small sample sizes and mixed results.

But is a month-long abstinence a wise idea?

Engle warns against the practice of 'semen retention,' linking it to consistently higher levels of depression and anxiety. Reed Amber, a sex educator and podcast host, criticizes the notion that No Nut November implies one is masturbating or using porn too much without consulting professionals.

Contrary to the challenge's implied benefits, regular masturbation has its own set of health perks for men. Sex and Relationship Therapist Bima Loxley notes that ejaculating at least once a week can contribute to prostate health, potentially decreasing the risk of prostate cancer.

So, should you take the No Nut November plunge?

While nobody should feel pressured into self-love if they're not inclined, it's worth noting that masturbation has proven medical benefits for both the body and mind. On the flip side, abstaining under the guise of boosting testosterone has been debunked and could be detrimental to mental and physical health. As Bima Loxley succinctly puts it, "Porn and masturbation aren't the problem — it's our society and how we use it."

In the grand scheme of things, shame and stigmatizing masturbation aren't healthy. Reflecting on our reasons for self-love and being aware of our consumption of adult content isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if there are concerns about compulsive behavior.

So, if you fancy a bit of solo fun in November, go for it. And if you find yourself needing to address some compulsive sexual behaviors, well, the NHS has resources and support available. Happy (or abstinent) November!

The Swedish model, which criminalizes the purchase of sex but not the sale of sex, is often misrepresented as a form of “partial decriminalization” of sex work. However, this is a misleading and inaccurate description, as sex workers still face legal sanctions and risks under this model. For example, sex workers may be evicted from their homes, prohibited from working with other sex workers or support staff, banned from advertising their services, and harassed by the police and social services. A more appropriate analogy would be to imagine that robbery itself were not illegal, but all the activities related to it (such as entering a business with intent to rob or possessing stolen money) still were. It would be absurd to claim that robbery was partially decriminalized in such a scenario. Therefore, it is important to recognize that the Swedish model is not a form of decriminalization, but rather a form of criminalization that harms sex workers and violates their human rights.

A desperate manhunt is underway to find a man after a Yorkshire sex worker and a man were found dead with their throats cut.

Convicted prostitute Sharon Pickles, 45, was found with her throat slit inside a flat in Marylebone, Central London, at 9.30pm on Thursday night, August 19.

Just five hours later police then found the body of 59-year-old Clinton Ashmore, known locally as "Cliff" at another flat just five minutes away.

His throat had also been cut.

Metropolitan Police say that they are searching for 49-year-old Lee Peacock in connection with the two murders.

They have now issued CCTV of Peacock at North Wembley Station on the night of the killings in a bid to help trace him.

It just looks brutal from the first sight but really it’s so
