no, not Church and State. Work and relationships.

One of the biggest misconceptions about sex work is that workers don’t or can’t have normal lives or relationships. That all we do is fuck, shop, and do drugs. That we take home hundreds of thousands a year that just gets pissed away on designer duds and designer drugs. We all have implants, model bodies, plastic surgery, perfect faces.

And of course anyone logical knows this isn’t the case.

I recently was gifted with this book which is supposed to be about the rise and fall of Natalia, an escort that once commanded $2,000 an hour but due to drugs and a shopping addiction she fell from grace.

The book was a huge disappointment and actually really pissed me off. As one of the reviews say, all it did was reinforce the stereotype that sex workers are shopoholic drug addicts. And as we all know, that’s not true. But from what you read in this book it just seems like anyone worth a damn in the industry is living this lifestyle full of careless spending and drug binges. They act like it’s just standard to be a coke addict. Well it’s NOT. Yes, a lot of street workers are addicts…but most streetworkers were addicts who went into working to fund their habit. I’m talking about women who go into sex work voluntarily without an addiction fueling the decision.

Natalia, for example, made well over $10,000 a week. She was a Canadian immigrant to the US. She had no health insurance, no savings, she spent all of the money on clothes and drugs. Literally. And that annoys me, because THESE are the stories you hear about escorts – and strippers as well.

You don’t hear about the ones that fund their masters or even doctorate degrees with the money, or the ones who save wisely and end up with a paid off house and car before age 30. You never hear about the ones that are happy being escorts and do it long term, or the ones who are successful at it. You hear about the ones that have some kind of tragic failure or succumb to addiction or depression. Why? Because if we talked about the people who are HAPPY with sex work, who are in it voluntarily then it would become less taboo. The people against sex work don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to believe, or even face the fact that there are some people who are not mentally ill, who don’t have daddy issues, who aren’t on drugs that actually ENJOY sex work. They especially don’t want to admit that these women could have healthy relationships outside of work, raise normal children. That these women could be their friend or neighbour.

Why are you a sex worker?
A lot of people wonder this. Honestly, it’s a great paying job and a lot of fun.  There’s a lot of behind the scene work people don’t think of – social networking, web maintnance, keeping track of reviews, shopping for work supplies, keeping my books up to date, keeping my schedule straight AND the jobs themselves.

Do you enjoy sex?
This was actually best said in White Oleander. Astrid asks Olivia, a high end escort, this exact question. Olivia answers, “You enjoy anything you’re good at, like an ice skater or a poet”.  I find this to be true.

What is greek?
Anal sex.

How many people have you slept with?
In my personal life?  Over 10, under 20.  At work?  I think I’m at or just over 100.  I don’t count.

If you could send a message to yourself at 18, what would it be?
I would have started doing this full time a lot earlier than I did.

Why did you chose this profession?
I kind of fell into it. I had a friend of a friend who was looking for a girl to spend time with him and possibly sleep with him. The money was good and it involved living abroad. I was basically just to play house and trophy (when out). We had sex maybe 3 times and one blowjob in the entire time I lived there. I took away a nice chunk of cash that enabled me to move out on my own when I came back. I did it one more time with a different person for about 9 months and that was it for awhile. I did some nude modelling after that, and a bit of escorting work with an agency.  I worked off and on for a few years before finally realising this is my niche.  I am now fully independent and full time.

What are some of the worst sexual fetish you’ve seen?
I think I’ve been really lucky on this front – I’ve never been with anyone that had a ‘bad’ fetish honestly.

Do you ever swallow? Or are you too “high class” for that?
I think if you are going to let a man finish in your mouth, spitting is low class. When a man goes down on a woman does he turn his head and spit every time he gets fluid in his mouth? No? Then I personally feel I should extend the same courtesy to men if I am going to allow them to ejaculate in my mouth.  If I had no intent on swallowing, I would simply not allow them to finish in my mouth.  So yes, I do swallow when I perform oral sex.

How do you see time?
No differently than I did before. I don’t see time as money except when I’m at work.

How do you hide your business?
I don’t really.  I lightly blur my photos for a bit of discretion.  My close friends know what I do.
