I'm sleeping with former boyfriends to take care of my children

I am a single mother of two and used to find it really hard to provide for them as their dad has been jobless for a long time. That changed last year when I got in touch a couple of boyfriends who’d been good to me in the past.

They are married but were quite happy with a no-strings-attached sex. Fortunately, both my kids are in school and I could entertain my ‘friends’ at my place or meet them at motels. They’re quite generous with their money and are respectful. 
As a result, I’ve gone from being broke all of the time to having a fairly comfortable life. Over the years, I’ve made some good friends and we socialise a lot. 
They’re still of the opinion that I do retail trading, but with the economy the way it is now, no retail trading could give me the comfort I now enjoy. My friends are not daft and I worry that one of them could cotton up to what I’m doing. I don’t know what to do. 

This is a tough one. No matter how much you sugar-coat it, you are a sex worker. Whatever could have driven you to where you are now, this is not the solution. 
Forget your friends’ reaction and face the fact you could be in a very dangerous situation. 
You can even now provide well for your children, but what happens to them when one of your ‘customers’ puts you in hospital through venereal disease or worse? 
One of your men’s wives might even find out and spill the beans to everybody - including your precious friends. 
The economy might be hard, but now that you’re doing well, you need to quit. 
There are a lot of things you could do with your time without sneaking off to meet men who care nothing for you.
