In the latest instalment of our sex worker interview series we are joined by Philadelphia Dom Sir Anansi to talk leather, change, and chamomile!

Like many in this industry, my journey into it started from survival. I have tried every avenue of sex work, but always found Domming to be my calling. It’s easy to just be myself, completely unfiltered.

"Finding community helped me to not only work through a lot of shame that I held around being a sex worker, but also to develop the skills and tools needed to engage with kink and in-person sex work in a safer and healthier way."

"Community is at the core of SWOP and has been since its inception in 2003, when Bay Area sex workers rallied around school teacher and fellow sex worker Shannon Williams, protesting her arrest and mistreatment."

"BDSM to me is about taking a part or parts of ourselves and blowing them up to be our entire existence in this nonlinear moment of time. This might include aspects of ourselves that may be buried and that we often do not fully understand."
