Faithful Love and Sex Work: Breaking Down the Myths
Why would you blame us for trying to make some money off of what is commodified about us and our lovers, who don't or won't understand that? And so you can invite your partner to that realization, and perhaps they will have a Jesus Moment and be able to see it and change and understand that what they are doing is very wrong if they're cheating on you because they are equating your sex work to sex, then there's a chance that they may be able to have a sort of revelation and understand that the two things are not interchangeable.
Ever wondered if sex workers can be faithful lovers? This episode of 'A Stripper's Guide' dives into the complexities of relationships involving sex workers. Hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa tackle questions like whether it's okay to hide sex work from partners and if sex workers 'deserve' to be cheated on. They discuss how systemic oppression impacts these relationships and highlight the abuse that often comes with partners using sex work as an excuse to cheat.
Leilah shares her own experience of feeling isolated in an abusive relationship, unable to share stories from her work. Erica points out that most sex workers are in the industry to make a living, not for pleasure. The episode also touches on the dangers of outing sex workers and how this can be used against them in court. To wrap up, the hosts announce a new project aimed at supporting partnerships where one or more people are sex workers.
This episode is a heartfelt, eye-opening look at the challenges sex workers face in their personal lives.
