19-year-old student Ax is considering becoming a sex worker. We sought advice for him from a gay counselor and a coordinator at the NZ Prostitutes Collective.

Dear GayNZ.com,

Hi. I’m an average to good looking gay 19-y-o student and I’m 90 percent sure I want to get into sex-work to help pay my scary study bills next year.

I just wanted to ask if there are any drawbacks to doing sex-work? And how do people get started? How much to charge, and how do you organise the deal?

Thanks and I apologise if this question is not appropriate.

Ax.
