On top of the standard emotional labor that comes with sex work, as a fat sex worker I’m often put in a position to help clients sort through their fatphobia as it relates to my own body.

The vast majority of sex worker organisations are not only grassroots and run by volunteer sex workers, but due to harmful legislation and policy such as the anti prostitution pledge, they are also often cut off from government funding.

I love cycling, cooking, watching anime and horror movies, and I play my own music as well! I’m currently very into synthesizers and drum machines and making my own music with analog gear.

Clinical psychologist and sex therapist Dr. David Ley has long been critical of the sex addiction framework, and wrote the book The Myth of Sex Addiction to explain why. I sat down with him to explore why sex addiction is a problematic concept, and how it contributes to whorephobia.

Find your niche and treat it like your superpower and have fun with it! You already have a job people hate and judge you for might as well enjoy yourself.
