A former brothel worker has detailed some of the industry's darkest secrets and some of the clients she would likely bump into.
Krystal Galtry is now an OnlyFans creator based in Australia, but before making her money on the adult site, she worked in a brothel after struggling financially.
The Aussie lost her job at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, though her problems were seemingly fixed as she met an events promoter who offered her a job.
Speaking to News.com.au, Krystal said: "He gave nothing away. Just, ‘wear black and look presentable'."

Once she arrived on site, Krystal realized she had been hired as a brothel door girl - though she was later promoted to 'madam', which is typically someone who manages the brothel.
Basically, Krystal's first duties were keeping track of who was in what room and for how long.
A challenging part for Krystal was vulnerable workers who were in the industry for all the wrong reasons - and that's where the difficulties come in.

“One of the hardest parts is dealing with workers who come into the industry for the wrong reasons. They’re often struggling mentally or emotionally," she said.
"They usually don’t last long, but while they’re there, it can be tough watching them try to cope.”
There's very much a perception of the type of people that would visit a brothel, though Krystal has said most of these are wrong.
Speaking of the clients that would enter the brothel, Krystal said: "Many were married, wealthy and into submission. When you spend that much of your life in a position of control, what entices you most is letting go it.

"It’s all about power. The client wants to be dominated and made to feel completely out of control."
Of course, a stigma very much surrounds working in a brothel, but Krystal doesn't see her past as something to be ashamed of.
She continued: "At first, I was nervous about people’s reactions, so I kept it private. But now I say it proudly. People assume we’re only in it for the money. We’re all drug-addicted. We only do it because we have no other options.

"The truth? Many of us do it because we love our bodies and their power to create a safe, accepting space where people can feel seen, cared for, and understood.
“Most women in this industry genuinely love their work. The sex industry can be incredibly empowering,” Krystal added.
“Personally, it brought back my confidence.”
