Phoenix, I am a little older (in reality) than I am in TER Land. I just use "the age I appear to be" in my ads, which I think is fair. Most clients think I am in the 23 to 30 range (I often ask my clients to guess my age, and I use that as a barometer for what's acceptable to say, in my ads), so I say I am 26 in my ads. I don't do this with deceitful intentions, but I do think "my real age" is sensitive, identifying information, similar to my social security number, address, and my real name. The same goes for photos of my face. Privacy is something I value,s o, that's why I opt out of disclosing my real age in TER Land.
That said, my experience level is that of a woman who is around 30 years old.
I actually think the biggest moments of "learning to use what I have, sexually" did come from sex work. I think sex work can be really traumatic, if you don't want to be here. However, I have always been here, on my own volition, and it's been positive for me. When I was a stripper, years ago, that actually boosted my confidence. If I never was a stripper, I think it would have take me a lot longer to learn that most men are sexually uncritical and have a wide sexual apparatus. Before I actually jumped into sex work, I thought all strippers looked like Pam Anderson, and I thought I could never do it. I was pleasantly surprised, when I was successful at stripping. It was the first time, where I ever really saw my sexual power, at face value. That was a life changing event for me, when my confidence changed, for the better. There are some girls who never have that awakening, as strippers. But, that's what happened to me, and it was a good thing for me. Confident women are always better lovers, you know what I mean?
The other thing that was a big learning experience for me, was more embarrassing, but as a provider, when I started out, I was really fast about sex. I think I had this image in my head that faster was inherently more hardcore? I don't know, but after a year of being a provider, some clients called me out on my overly fast sexual methods. I am the type of person who strongly values courteously-delivered constructive criticism, so I did change my methods, after that. I give slower, more sensual blowjobs, and everyone has expressed praised for my slower sexual style. I am naturally energetic, so there are probably some things I still do in a "Wham! Bam! Thank you, ma'am!" way, but I made sure I slowed down the parts of sex that are best done in a slow way.
XOXO,
