I was anything but an ordinary young woman. I grew up in a modest setting, and I was really set on overcoming poverty and achieving my goals. College didn’t go as planned, and with limited job options, I ended up in a tough spot.  One evening, as I was scrolling through some obscure online job boards, I stumbled upon something that was both strange and intriguing: people were actually paying huge sums of money to engage in extreme, fetishistic activities—some of which even involved human waste. It was a pretty off-putting idea, but the money was hard to ignore. Feeling like I had no other choices and with bills piling up, I thought, why not give it a shot? Before long, I realised I was involved in a unique industry that not many people discussed openly. I would meet with clients who paid me a lot of money to engage in their unique fetish involving eating faeces.

In just a few weeks, I found myself with more money than I had ever imagined possible. Word got around in these underground circles, and before I knew it, I had a steady stream of clients. I initially figured I could stick it out for a couple of months, save up enough cash to kickstart a small business, and then just leave behind the shady world I had gotten into. I treated myself to a lovely flat, some stylish designer clothes, and even started exploring new places. […]
