I write a lot about the nightmare clients, the guys who I absolutely cannot stand, and I suspect my stories so far have given the wrong impression. It isn’t that I hate my clients, I just write a lot about the bad ones because they make better stories. More

Last week, a friend sent me a link to this article (about Nassau County’s public shaming of sex work clients, a sting so-named ‘Flush the Johns’) and asked if I had any feelings about it.
I’m pretty sure it was a rhetorical question, because like any conscientious sex worker, I have lots and lots of feelings about not only this particular article, but also the practice of criminalizing and targeting clients rather than workers. I also have a lot of feelings about the use of the word “John” for clients, and the general dehumanizing attitude people have when they talk about men who buy sexual services.
Most of my feelings about these things can be summed up with exclamations of “grr,” “argh,” “graagh,” “gurrargh,” and even “YAAAARGH!” but such exclamations do not make for good, thoughtful, or even comprehensible writing. More

I’ve always been told that one of the basic signifiers of adulthood is reaching an age where you do not store all of your money frantically under your mattress or in a piggy bank. You go to the bank, you open an account, you feel that you’ve grown-up. But then, I guess I do not work in the adult film industry where that, weirdly, would not be an option. More
Once we were in the car, the two cops driving continued to ask us questions, despite the fact that they hadn’t yet read us our Miranda rights. More
Here, we take a look at how stock photos (i.e. their creators) apparently see sex workers. But here is also where I stop being so serious and just make fun of how absurd these are. Okay? Okay.
Allow me to illustrate how all prostitutes are apparently flamingos… More
i. Even if it is legal where you are located, [do not] create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services or prostitution. More
During my almost five-year career as a sex worker, I have experienced work-related fear exactly twice. The first time was at the very beginning of my adventures in the sex industry, when Grant, the gentleman I got my revenge on last week, outed me to my mother.
The second time was two weeks ago when I got arrested. More
