fun50couple on AdultWork: Goodbye & Good Riddance…
Hello sexy friends and in case you’ve been thinking we’ve thrown in the towel due to us no longer showing on AdultWork, we’re here to tell you NOTHING could be further from the truth. It’s onwards and upwards for us, as always. We’ve endured AW for twelve years. In the early days it was kinda popular, and fun, though subject to DDS attacks which prompted us in 2014 to build our first website fun50couple.com. The site’s old and clunky these days, and not even mobile responsive but we keep it going because it’s got TONS of content not just on its regular pages, but also the 65 odd issues of NEWS VIEWS & SCREWS formerly accessed by subscription. We call it now our ‘legacy site’. If you want the newer, mobile friendly site go to fun50couple.co.uk. To make life easy about a year ago we made click-my-links.online which has seen a lot of hits because it references our 7 sites, & covers all interests. AdultWork never permitted us to link to any of these sites. They told us our backlink wasn’t visible (it was but not to their bots) and that we were competing with them because we offered an alternative place for phone sex. In general though AdultWork functioned quite well & we obeyed their myriad rules. After all, you don’t bite the hands that feeds ya right? We didn’t have full confidence that standing alone, entirely independent of directories, would bring in enough business to enable us to continue making a living out of the oldest profession. And that’s where they get you… you see, over the years they’ve muscled in, and now dominate online escorting in the UK. Not just with their own site, but by allowing hundreds of other escort portals/directories to also publish OUR details as de facto affiliates of AW. So basically, we were all over the place. A good thing you might think… but not really, because we were FOREVER rung by punters all over the country mislead into thinking we were local to THEIR patch.
In 2020 things took a turn for the worse. AdultWork sucked up to authority (as they’re doing now, more below) and disabled the booking system ‘for your safety’. Back in the day everybody booked through the site and got feedback; if a punter failed to show he got a negative rating which held him & his kind in check. Over the years though, fewer and fewer punters joined the platform meaning time-wasters could piss service providers about to their heart’s content. Again that changed… when ClientEye gained in popularity, sharing details of suss phone numbers, malicious callers, dangerous clients etc etc.
Pre scamdemic AdultWork had over 16000 escorts on site. They are a clever organization, cunning & ruthless, with teams savvy in web development, marketing and reputation management. They’re experts at twisting the knife but dressing it up as ‘for your convenience’ or your ‘continued enjoyment’ of the platform. I’d bet a big per centage, especially younger escorts under 40, are sold on that line… gullible Millennials & GenZs… going along with ‘authority’ and not wanting to offend. Anyone with real life experience and business acumen could see through it though. We were in contact with a few other couples, who experienced the same kinda crap as us… noticing too the way complaints or disputes were handled… patronising to say the least. More than one couple ventured ‘it’s like they love to humiliate you….’(AW ‘help’ centre)
Covid finished a lot of escorts off… as it did a ton of businesses. Not us though. We smelled the bullshit almost from the start….took our protest to the mean streets of London along with hundreds of thousands of others, and carried on pretty much as normal throughout the period. We kinda feel vindicated since… though some clients (and all our family) still refuse to see the light… which brings us neatly to where we are today with the Online Safety Act. Emboldened by how ‘they’ took control of 90% of the population 2020-2022, the OSA is without doubt another tool they’re using, beating to the WEF drum. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Covid saw a drop in AdultWork numbers of around 2000 escorts. Not only did AW disable the booking system, but they started hiking charges too…long story short, most of those charges have been doubled and tripled since. Incredibly, a lot of punters still think its a free site and we don’t have to pay much; To promote on there costs hundreds and hundreds a month… most service providers don’t pay directly (withdrawing revenue is a feat in itself); instead they tout private galleries which ‘pay’ for the profile promotion. But those private galleries have to be continually refreshed. It seemed also, that unless you pay for ‘AVAILABLE TODAY’ green light, you’re not found. Available today went up from £1 to £6.57 during our time on the site.
Then they decided to conceal our phone numbers… making them available ONLY to those who joined the site. This they told us ‘made it more fair for part time escorts’. They thought they could force punters to join up, just as they think now with their overzealous interpretation and implementation of the OSA guidelines. But on that occasion it didn’t work, there was an uproar, and unusually for them, they capitulated (but issued a veiled warning that it might return at a time of their choosing)
Another time we hit a bad patch. Phone calls declined and we didn’t know why. Until. Until we spotted (and punters told us) our profile was flagged as ‘accessing from Ireland’. Despite whatever we wrote on a DAILY BASIS assuring clients we were in fact here in County Durham, a good wadge of potential clients refused to believe it. So why was it saying we were in Ireland I hear you ask? Because we were using a VPN, and that breaks their Terms Of Service. So too was telling punters we were using a VPN. Even telling them via Private Messages, which, well before recent changes due to Online Safety Act, were no longer private. AW bots filter the messages… and you’re shut down if you mention things such as ‘poppers’, ‘forced’ (as in forced bi), you do private phone chats, you include URL’s of your own website, or include the letters ‘VPN’… we’re talking here remember about supposedly ‘private messages’! That’s why Tees Valley Master walked a couple of years back… they shut the profile down ‘doubting my authenticity’ after TEN YEARS. That’s because I was using a VPN. The amazing thing is AdultWork themselves know full well why people like us use VPN’s! They as an organisation will undoubtedly be utilising similar workarounds themselves not least because they’re increasingly reliant on the crypto space. Do as I say not do as I do, and to be fair it IS THEIR PLATFORM and they can dictate who they want to have and who they don’t. That is the whole problem with the web though isn’t it, and not something envisaged at its creation. It’s morphed into a control centre, favouring mega platforms, think the Magnificent 7. AdultWork probably think of themselves as the magnificent 8th… and not surprising since I’m reliably informed their revenue now exceeds £1,000,000 A DAY.
Developers across the crypto space are diligently working to usher in Web3, way to go yet, but hopefully, it will do away with centralised platforms and the new web will be peer to peer; its happening already #StayTuned. What Trump’s doing in America is ground breaking… (turning America into the DeFI centre of the world, protecting the US dollar or rather its new proxy aka stablecoins, it’s America First, in stark contrast to the UK*) you may turn the page now as a Trump hater, believing only what you’re fed by the UK’s main stream media… it gets better…. that same media is further empowered under the OSA, with any criticism of political events/narratives shut down in the name of stopping ‘hate’ or ‘causing anxiety’; that is the reason we’ve pulled NEWS VIEWS AND SCREWS and also stopped posting nudes/NSFW content on social media. Yes it hurts, even we are forced to kow-tow to Big Brother; written content didn’t originally fall under the remit of the Online Safety Act, but there’s mission creep of course. The Act’s evolving on a daily basis, ill thought out in the first place, with bureaucrats now interpreting it the way they see fit due to its deliberately vague terms. For example, the Act enables sites to be shut down if they cause ‘anxiety’ or ‘psychological harm’ . This means that a factual account of a meeting with a kinky submissive for example could cause ‘phycological harm’ to someone who might read it… posting NSFW on X could render you liable under the Communication Act. Basically if you’ve a target on your back, this legislation could give ‘them’ grounds for arrest. And what are extreme examples of NSFW content? Well, according to AdultWork our names fun50couple (fun is a forbidden word), Tees Valley Mistress (mistress has pornographic connotations, another example:’Fucksters’ on AW have had to change their name to ‘Bucksters’); they told us a whipping bench is NSFW, as is Minx showing a stocking top…blah blah and fucking blah. Oh I forgot, emojis are banned too! Chilli peppers, peaches, horny face, even flames/hot are you kidding ME???? No I’m not.
So, my friends, those are the reasons we’re no longer fun50couple on AdultWork. We refuse to bend the knee; a sentiment shared it would seem by 530 others who appear to have left the platform this past ten days. Hence the title of this piece ‘Goodbye to AdultWork and Good Riddence!’ Punter’s AREN’T age verifying for every adult site they wanna visit, they’re using VPN’s or simply going back to SERPS… type in ‘escort couple’ or ‘{whatever kind of escort you want} in {location}’ and chances are you’ll find ’em.
That’s it! Luv Minx & Geeze aka fun50couple the UK’s fave mature escort couple, at your kinky service xxx
PS Look out for a thought provoking blog coming soon ‘what men think about sex toys in 2025’; there are some surprising statistics.
PPS * For years the US under Biden and Gensler at the SEC did everything they could to obstruct crypto, as does the IMF, the EU el al. In the UK, briefly under Sunak, it looked like we might become a favoured destination for forward thinking crypto companies helping financial institutions to transition to DeFi, but instead, we’re actually going backwards with one notable exception. You guessed it: HMRC. They have spent hundreds of millions in recent months building infrastructure to monitor each and every transaction YOU make in the crypto space. So if you choose to pay for phone sex using 30 USDT for example, they know about it, and here’s where it gets CRAZEEEEE…you need to pay capital gains tax on the transaction. Again, I. KID. YOU. NOT.
