#ter may have been here

Whenever my job is mentioned in newspapers, blogs, or magazines, the same tropes tend to pop up: moral panic, drug abuse, violence. Journalists quote us selectively, so that it sounds as if we’re living out the sex-negative, whorephobic stereotypes the public are used to consuming.

My career in sex work has been complicated, but it’s absolutely intertwined with motherhood.

The lives of 19th century women are known to us today mainly through their letters and writing, but also through the then new (black-and-white) portrait photography, and the vivid paintings, pastels and watercolours of impressionist artists.

Instead of cheating or separating, some couples choose consensual non monogamy...and although it’s not straightforward, it could be worth considering.

I’m truly a southern girl at heart. I like to fill my time outdoors hiking, walking my dog, practicing yoga, or in the summer I like to go out on the lake here in Georgia.
