Transmascs Rentboys and Why We Hate Ourselves

There are a lot of sex workers who are trans men or non-binary people. Many of us delay transition, or don’t transition, or convince ourselves that we don’t need to… because of our involvement in sex work. As well as concerns about making enough money alongside a drop in demand, the broader sex work communityContinue reading “Transmascs Rentboys and Why We Hate Ourselves”

Saviour Sex Workers

A number of sex workers will claim that selling sex is a worthwhile profession because it heals people or provides much-needed intimacy. These claims can quickly become extraordinary – certain sex workers, usually those who brand themselves as “high-end” may claim they save marriages or satiate the urges of otherwise violent men… or even thatContinue reading “Saviour Sex Workers”

Hookers Carrying Diseases?

One accusation often levelled at sex workers is that we spread disease. Instead of responding to this by talking about safety measures we take, we should refuse to see catching a disease as a moral failing. There have always been claims about sex workers being “dirty” or “diseased”, mainly with STDs like HIV as theContinue reading “Hookers Carrying Diseases?”

“I want to be more than a client!”

Among clients of sex workers, there’s a particular type that many of us come across who want to be more than clients. Some fall for our personas, some become convinced of our enthusiasm enough to think we want a regular hook-up, and others are lonely and imagine the money as a shortcut to friendship. TheContinue reading ““I want to be more than a client!””

Misconceptions About Online Child Exploitation

While the recent panic about child sex trafficking in the media would have you believe that PornHub and OnlyFans are the main places it’s occurring, and that there are adults kidnapping kids off the street, that’s not reflective of the ways children are actually being taken advantage of. I’d like to talk about some waysContinue reading “Misconceptions About Online Child Exploitation”

Intentional Condom Breaking

One of the insidious things about clients who intentionally break condoms is that in most cases where they do it, you’ll never be certain. For clients who frequently break the condom while meeting with sex workers, they develop a technique over time to avoid getting caught. Often they’ll combine tactics like suggesting a position whereContinue reading “Intentional Condom Breaking”

Sometimes Selling Sex is a Better Option

When I started selling sex, it was my last resort. The stigma around sex work in society means that it often takes an extreme event (homelessness, the inability to pay for food, the need to pay for urgent healthcare) for someone to start. Once you’ve been involved in sex work, that threshold becomes lower. You’veContinue reading “Sometimes Selling Sex is a Better Option”

Christian Groups and “Rescuing” Sex Workers

There have always been Christian groups who speak about sex work as sinful, but now there is an increasing trend toward seeing sex workers as victims who must be rescued. These groups tend to see sex workers either as fallen women (because of course, they don’t recognize how many sex workers are not women) whoContinue reading “Christian Groups and “Rescuing” Sex Workers”

Clients Cheating On Their Partners

I’m often asked how I feel about the fact that many of my clients are cheating on their spouses or partners with me. My clients are primarily men who are in relationships, if my estimates are correct, based on the clients who tell me so or who wear wedding rings during bookings. It’s something IContinue reading “Clients Cheating On Their Partners”
