In our sex worker interview series we're joined by Mistress Valentina Milani to speak about the punk community, misconceptions, and being a sensual artist.

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.

"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."

I had always been curious about this sex work – I was lucky to, for whatever reason, keep out a lot of the negative messaging people around me growing up received about their sexuality.

In our sex worker interview series we're speaking with San Francisco escort Cody Sweets about desirability, hookup apps, and the sympathetic nervous system!
