This week we hear from Rosie Valentine, 43, who works as a dancer and cam model. Rosie first got into the sex industry aged 18, when she started stripping at a nightclub. Later she moved to London to work at famous adult entertainment club, Stringfellows.
‘I had never earned that much money in my life,’ says Rosie. ‘It was a completely different world and, as I didn’t come from a family with a lot of money, I was instantly hooked.’
Since then, Rosie, who is bisexual, has moved back home to Sheffield, and strips at a local club. ‘Despite my many years of stripping, I always enjoy and find it empowering,’ she says.
Rosie began cam work in lockdown, when the strip club was forced to close. She’s single, so has solo sex when she cams for viewers during the week. Rosie has always been ambitious, and has more important priorities than finding a partner right now.
‘I simply don’t have the time for that kind of commitment,’ she says. ‘I want to set up my own strip club, so I’m putting all my energy into work to save up. Then, I might think about a serious relationship again.
‘Although I don’t have sex in person right now, I still really enjoy my cam shows and regularly orgasm multiple times a day during sessions.
‘It can still feel very intimate even though it’s not actually in person. When you both orgasm at the same time it’s unbelievable.’
Without further ado, here’s how Rosie got on this week…

Monday
After working at the strip club all weekend, Monday is when I choose to catch up on chores and make new content.
Today starts like any other, with a coffee while I take my Pomeranian out for a walk. I like to eat healthily and I’m dedicated to maintaining my figure, so I head off to the gym after.
Back home, I take some vampy themed photos, which I thought was fitting for the darker winter months. I ordered a purple PVC outfit online – it looks so hot on me with its high thigh-cut bodysuit, chain, purple flowing cape, and black PVC boots.
I take about three hours getting as many pictures as I can for social media and my profile on AdultWork.com. Creating your own content can be quite awkward as I have to adjust my lighting in between poses, set my camera on timers, and do my own editing – it takes a while to get right.
Even though it’s late now, I’m happy with the content I’ve made. I’m lucky that I’ve always had a really supportive family, who approve of what I do for a living, and lots of friends also in the sex industry, so they know how hard I work.
Tuesday
Today I’m going to be on webcam. After my morning coffee I always post on Twitter and Instagram, letting my followers know when I’ll be live. Then, it’s time for the gym.
I’ve been single for quite a while by choice. I’m enjoying my own company without any romantic hassles and fully concentrating on making money. I do still fancy people though, like the two hot guys I see working out in the gym. They catch me checking them out, and start looking at me too.
Although I’m a confident person, I don’t like people staring at me in a public place. I feel a little insecure and move to another machine (I’ll take the compliment, though).
I get home and start work – three hours’ in the afternoon, then I have a break and log back on in the evening until late.
My shifts go quickly as a few of my regulars are online. One of them is married – he waits until his wife has gone out to log on and he requests the same show every single time. He likes me to be naked apart from a nude, shiny pair of tights with no knickers underneath and Christian Louboutin heels.
He likes me to stroke myself through the tights while moaning his name. He asks me to tell him when I’m close, so I can give him a countdown and we climax together. I find it really hot.
Wednesday
My webcam platform has been running a competition all month on their X page. Creators enter by uploading a video of themselves twerking, and the top 5 with the most likes win some merch. Today I find out that I’m one of the winners and I’m buzzing.
I cam in the afternoon and evening today. I use a sex toy that my viewers can connect to remotely, and choose the patterns and rhythm options that control the vibrations. I’ve had some insane orgasms with it.
Most days the cam shows are mainly about pleasing the guys, performing for them, and giving them what they want.
However, some days there are guys who want me to lay back and pleasure myself. I always need to make sure my toys are fully charged – it would be a nightmare if my favourite bullet was dead and I missed out on all that fun.
Thursday
I’m nominated for Best Webcam Performer at the UK Glamour Awards. The nominee with the most votes wins their category, so today I share a promotional post on my socials. I have quite a few loyal followers who have been voting daily for me, and my phone has been non-stop with notifications.
I finish my lunch, choose an outfit to wear, and log on to cam. My first client just wants me to sit and watch him do a fashion show. Before I started camming, I had no idea just how many men like to secretly dress up in women’s clothing.
The client tries on numerous pieces of lingerie and sexy clothing items one after the other and wants me to give each outfit a mark out of 10. This show goes on for about 45 minutes, a profitable session for me at £2.88 a minute.
The guy is quite shy, so I make him feel comfortable with encouraging and flirty banter. He loosens up more and gets more confident which I like to see. I want my guys to enjoy their time with me. The client is working away in another country for a couple of weeks, so he likes the company of models on his laptop from the privacy of his hotel room. He’s been shopping today for lingerie in Paris and wanted to show it off, which is what brought him to me.
I thought I’d heard all the stories and fantasies while stripping, but camming has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I see and get told all kinds of things. I am an outsider, I don’t know who they are, where they live, or anyone they know. So, I sometimes get told secrets.
For example, I have one regular who is married to a woman, but he visits gay saunas and often has fun with a few men at a time. He likes to tell me about these experiences during our sessions while w*nking and being dressed up in kinky PVC and stockings. He says his wife has no idea.
When I first started camming, I’d get asked if I could do a whole variety of weird and wonderful things. As I had only previously worked as a lap dancer, a lot of cam lingo like SPH or JOI was foreign to me – I learnt a lot as I went along.
I knew DP meant double penetration, but now I get asked for SPH (small penis humiliation), and JOI (jerk-off instructions).
JOI is my favourite as there’s a game we play called the Traffic Light Game. The guy is normally already ready when he buys a cam show as they usually pleasure themselves beforehand to prepare – it also saves them time, and therefore money. During this game, I say ‘green’, which means they pleasure themselves quickly, ‘amber’ to go slower and ‘red’ for them to stop. I mix up the and get very strict if my rules aren’t followed.
I also get lots of tickle and foot fetish enquiries. Honestly, my work totally varies, and I play lots of different roles – being a secretary while the client’s my boss is always popular.
Friday
At the weekend I work as a lap dancer. Dancing is more social than camming because I’m interacting with people in real life, which I like. I also don’t drink or go out partying, so this has largely become my social life too.
Tonight, the club is quiet, but I get paid to perform some VIP dances for a couple of guys. Instead of a standard £20 full nude dance for three minutes, these VIP dances are 15 minutes, half an hour, or one hour long. But there is one golden rule: men are never allowed to touch me.
I have the odd £20 dance here and there tonight, but I make most of my money from a guy who’s away from home working. He’s tall, handsome, well dressed, and very interesting to talk to. He has a few VIP dances and I love being in his company. I meet so many different characters at the club and almost all of them are lovely.
Saturday
I’m quite tired today, the club didn’t shut until 6am and I got to sleep at around 8. I chill for most of the day and nap again, then I get glammed up to go back to work.
I prefer Saturdays at the club because it’s more of a party vibe. There are more guys from out of town, and more of the other dancers are working, so we can have a laugh and catch up.
My first customer tonight was a VIP – a young guy who loved feet. He wanted me to remove my shoes and stockings – a rare request, as most men love stockings. I’m slowly stripping off to sensual R&B tracks, usually guys can’t take their eyes off my boobs but this guy is completely fixated on my feet. He keeps asking me to swing them near his face so he can smell them, or put them on a chair so he can stare at them.
Later I spot a guy at the bar alone. I go over to him he buys me a RedBull, and we chat for a bit. He’s been out drinking with his mates, but they’ve all gone home now – he wanted to stay out. You’re never alone for long at a strip club, that’s what us dancers are for.
He tells me he’s always avoided me in the past because he thinks I’m too out of his league. I tell him not to be so silly and I’m very flattered. He’s a nice man and easy to talk to – he buys a VIP dance and is complimentary the entire time.
Sunday
Today is my day of rest. On Sundays I do my food shopping and indulge in pizza, chicken wings, chocolate, crisps – anything I fancy.
I eat, snooze and catch-up on all the latest TikTok videos. I might not have a boyfriend at the moment, but I do have my dog who is great company and we have lots of snuggles.
I have an early night ready to wake up fresh for a new week ahead, knowing that I’m lucky to do a job I love.
