I was always drawn towards sex work and knew that one day I was going to be an escort. I’ve always been sexually open and thought sw would be the perfect outlet for me to explore.
I’ve been a sex worker for so long now that sometimes I wonder which parts of my high femme identity are things I do because of work, and which parts are due to my work.
When it comes to sex work, there’s no shortage of lessons to be learned about oneself, including what “sex”, “work” or even what the term “yourself” actually means. I’d have to say that it’s mostly taught me that there's no wrong or right answer.
I thought I’d had a plenitude of sexual experience when I started—I... had a sex blog where I would write about OKCupid and Craigslist hookups—but most of those encounters were things I was hazing myself through.
The threats sex workers face are not just from clients or individuals in society; the very system we live within is at the root of much of the violence we face.
