Daughter selling herself online

Ok so it’s been bought to my attention that my 19 year old is selling herself online. Photos of boobs for cash. As far as I know it’s just this but who knows. What do I do ? what can I do she is an “adult” besides tell her to have some respect for herself and she is putting herself in danger, what if some weirdo stalks her. I’m not sure what else I can do.
I’ll add she comes from a completely normal boring family, no abuse no drugs no alcohol, no violence of any kind, you could say she has been spoilt and no reason why she would want or need to do this.

Does she have any other income? Maybe she likes the attention. Who is paying for her technology? If she is paying for it herself there isn’t much you can do other than be there if the wheels come off.
I’d be making sure I wasn’t paying for her data and mobile phone though.

Why not? If guys are going to pay for that then why not cash in if you have no problem with it? The other questions are the same as previous poster, does she have any other income? This could be out of desperation. It could also just be because she likes the attention or extra cash.

Oh no. Please explain to her the damage that could be done to her professional career in the future if this is a path she may want.

There isn’t anything you can do, she is an adult and well within her rights so do what ever she pleases with her body.

I mean, aside from expressing your concerns and explaining any potential implications her actions may have (both immediate and long term implications), I'm not certain there's anything else you can do.
She's an adult!

Honestly though, sometimes the best way to help our adult kids is to sit back and let them make their mistakes, even if they're monumental fuck ups! It's humbling, it's resilience building and generally people tend to learn more from their mistakes than their mum's nagging.

My daughter is a full service sex worker. I don't have to agree about her work choice but she's 24 , there's nothing i can do about it. I'd hardly call your daughter 'selling herself' for breast pics. At least nobody physically touches yours like they do mine.
