would it hinder me from scoring a job as a flight attendant and/or cruise worker (i.e. kitchen staff in a restaurant on a cruise, gift shop cashier on a cruise, etc)
 
You will run the risk that your face and your naked body will always present somewhere in screencaps or capped videos or uploaded videos for everyone to find. As to how that affects future jobs: sadly it probably will. If you want to do sexwork with less exposure, you may want to consider alternatives like phonesex only or escorting, but even then, there is no guarantee no one finds out when you apply for a job.

This world is not ready for people to do sexwork without any consequences yet sadly.

I would not enter the world of sexwork unless you are seriously ready to cut ties with most of society. It can be very isolating and most people will not understand or accept you. If those two jobs are important to you then keep your eye on them and dont do this. I definitely dont regret my choice to start camming though. It has been the greatest ride (lol puns).
 
Maybe you should try stripping? Less people will recognize you than in camming. Also, you should try phone sex because people do not have to see you either. If you are hellbent on camming, then you should choose your vanilla career according to their tolerance factor. For example, However, cruise ships care less than airplane companies because all types of people work on cruise ships. In addition, I would suggest you apply on cruise ship's entertainment side because they can be less judgemental than the kitchen staff. That is my 2 cents :)

The other thing to factor in if deciding to do phone because it might be "safer" is I use an escort site for selling phone chat therefore have a profile. I also use it for camming. I keep my profile fairly ambiguous but if people don't interpret it in the right way they could believe I am a prostitute, which I am not. Sometimes you have profiles in some strange places even when doing fairly benign stuff.
 
And sadly I am not an employer because: I have met some truly wonderfulcam models online that I would hire in an instant! I don't care that they did camming.. I do care that they are wonderful personalities and talented and intelligent people that can get things done.

I am an employer while it's nice to say, "I don't care about someone past" that argument doesn't really hold water in real life. It's your clients that determine how an employees past affects your business. Just last summer I hired an ex con and had months of issues from clients because it raise security concerns to them even though they did not even know the crime he was convicted of. My lawyer was a girl that stripped her way through law school over 20 years ago and I've had to follow her through 3 firms because they let her go as soon as someone finds out about it. Our Fedex guy for years who everyone loved turned out to be a ex con and when a package went missing he was the first person Fedex let go (good news is he's our favorite UPS guy now).

But now to the OP question. As an employer do I dig deep into employees past, sure I do. Do I hold it again them? No, but if their past find a way to disrupt company business their job could be on the line with me.

I'm sorry... but did you just compare being a camgirl with being an ex convict?

I may have misunderstood... and I hope I did.

I'm making the comparison in regard to how a person's past regardless of reasoning will be held against them in a workplace environment. You can be an ex con for smoking weed as much as assault. Unfortunately an ex-con is enough of a label in itself to hurt you in society just like a sex worker.

How could being a sex worker/ex sex worker disrupt company business?
 
I think this is kind of a "technically, it could" question. Unless being a sex worker somehow makes you less qualified for the job (which I genuinely cannot imagine a way that it would), it is technically illegal to discriminate against giving you a job for it. That said, of course this is a law that's broken all the time without consequence. It could affect you, but it's also possible that it won't. It's a risk, but everything in life has some kind of risk.

In the US there is no such law. As long as it doesn't violate anti discrimination laws, you can be fired for any reason.

How could being a sex worker/ex sex worker disrupt company business?

It's about when something about your personal life becomes a distraction or detracts from the companies message. People don't want to trust their money in a bank that hires ex-cons for example. Even if the person wasn't convicted of a crime related to theft the association of ex-con to crime is enough to hurt business. There's an idea that a sex worker are seductive and home wreckers regardless of what type of sex work the person ever did the label is the issue. Married couples or families with children don't usually hire someone that's a know sex worker either because they believe the person will become a threat to the marriage or teach values counter to the parents wishes.

This isn't about what's legal or if these are my views or not. just answering the question for purpose of discussion.

It violates anti-discrimination laws. There are still loopholes companies can use to get around them if they want to. I'm not saying it's impossible that we will be discriminated against. I'm simply saying that based on everything I've learned in every management class I've taken, it is both technically illegal and ethically inexcusable to discriminate against an individual on any basis not related to the job.

Because certain clients and customers will whine and simper and stomp their feet, making themselves nuisances until the boss takes action so they'll shut the fuck up and not harm the company's reputation or profits. TL;DR: People are dicks.

Do some businesses state in their contract what you can be fired for?

Why can't you just not do business with/provide service to customers or clients that behave that way?

YES. Actors sign contracts that they are not allowed to change their image without studio approval for example. Just cutting your own hair can be breaking a contract. Every Disney employee has to sign a contract that if you actions, "disrupt the brand" you can be terminated for example.

You never know who is going to react negatively until they do.

I think Guy is right. Anti-discrimination laws don't cover sex workers. It only mentions sex as in the sex or sexual orientation of a person.

Denying sex workers employment and housing is actually fully legal in this country because it's an occupation. There's no law against discriminating based on an occupation. If a company you work for finds out you are, or use to be, a sex worker they can fire you or deny you employment for that. Perfectly legal.


https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/
Under the laws enforced by EEOC, it is illegal to discriminate against someone (applicant or employee) because of that person's race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.

The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment.

The laws enforced by EEOC prohibit an employer or other covered entity from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative effect on applicants or employees of a particular race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), or national origin, or on an individual with a disability or class of individuals with disabilities, if the polices or practices at issue are not job-related and necessary to the operation of the business. The laws enforced by EEOC also prohibit an employer from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or older, if the policies or practices at issue are not based on a reasonable factor other than age.


And then specifically on sex based discrimination.
https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sex.cfm

Sex discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of that person's sex.

Discrimination against an individual because of gender identity, including transgender status, or because of sexual orientation is discrimination because of sex in violation of Title VII. For more information about LGBT-related sex discrimination claims, for more information see
 
Long before I was a camgirl I worked at a video store. Tattoos were a lot less common then and I learned quickly that the masses then equated every single attractive tattooed woman with Suicide Girls. Therefor I spent my entire day every day being ask repeatedly if I was a suicide girl....

Basically all day long customers asked me if I did porn. Can you imagine if I had actually been a recognizable performer at the time? People have no chill
 
If a future employer ever confronted me about a video he/she found on the internet I would lie my ass off and say it was a sexy Skype session with and ex boyfriend who decided to post it on the internet for revenge after we broke up. I didn't know he was recording me... And I shouldn't be held accountable for someone else exposing something about me that is perfectly natural and was SUPPOSED to be private.
 
Prejudice towards sex workers could be due to the fact that sex itself is still partially taboo in our society.
The subject of sex tends to make many people feel uncomfortable and is something that is widely considered to be personal and private.
Is that why my family and friends get all weird when I talk about sex like I'm talking about what I had for lunch? Haha
