I'm just so sad. Sex work rescued me from a soul crushing life, it gave me an escape - and my story is a common one! The moralistic pressure against porn as inherently exploitative is extraordinarily damaging, particularly to the underprivileged. 1/

I grew up in an oppressive religious atmosphere that viewed deviant sexuality as harmful. It would 'corrupt my soul', it would emotionally drain me, it would make me a vacant-eyed wreck. But no, it fucking didn't. They were wrong, I was fine. And they still don't believe me.

Yep, I've been in sex work for a decade and have been 100% upfront about everything I do, to my partners. Often they participate/help me with various aspects of the business. They also often have other sexual partners themselves.

yea maybe? i was homeschooled, isolated from outside world, all my friends were similarly homeschooled, isolated from media, my dad's a professional evangelical christian, i memorized 800 verses and was planning to become a housewife. Some people still consider that too liberal.
