    My first R18 splash page on the hosted website using my own domain Welcome to my website!  Remember when most new websites had that on them?  I remember attending a course for a company I worked for and the instructor specifically said it was a no-no.  “We don’t write Welcome to our Brochure on our…

  • Sex Workers Starting With Why

    Sex Workers Starting With Why

    Roy Lichenstein We Rose Up Slowly (1964)   Why do sex workers do what they do? I’ve been enjoying the fabulous book Start With Why by Simon Sinek after a recommendation by someone I respect a lot and who has had an amazing career in their (creative) field. In fact I listened to the audio…

  • To Network or Not to Network

    To Network or Not to Network

    It can be lonely being a sex worker yet I’ve met a few ladies who prefer to stay away from any socialising online or in real life and keep to themselves. They don’t want any dramas despite the benefits that can be had from meeting and greeting with other working girls or clients. I can…

  • I can’t make you love me

    I can’t make you love me

    It is probably safe to assume that most of society, even those who pride themselves on thinking progressively, in their heart of hearts, looks down on sex workers, but are mostly too polite to say so to our faces.  In the media, society’s attitude toward sex work is reflected often, even in the supposedly more…

  • Sex workers and websites: if you build it will they come?

    Sex workers and websites: if you build it will they come?

    Although many sex workers are still getting websites built for them or DIYing it with free sites like WIX or blogs, I have heard some saying they don’t know what to do with them (“now what?”) or how to get clients (“traffic”) to go to them. So I’ve been picking the brains of one or…

  • Forced conversations when you’ve been outed

    Forced conversations when you’ve been outed

    Cyber bullying comes in many forms, from the relatively mild (but still harmful) tweet-bombing, Facebook posting, harassment on online forums etc, to the most dreaded extreme for sex workers – being publicly outed and/or lied about as a sex worker on websites set up to humiliate.  When this happens, and sex workers have to deal with…

  • Love Within Sex Work

    Love Within Sex Work

    I found this tweet the other day and it really resonated with me.  It’s because I feel exactly the same about my clients.  I really love those dudes!  A lot of the time I give my heart and soul to my clients, and get it back in spades. Which got me thinking.  Is this professional,…

  • Politics and Working Girls

    Politics and Working Girls

    A working girl (in the other sense of the word or apparently the equal of*) Like all tales of politics, this could get long and boring.  Personally, I have spent my life being a tiny dot amongst big groups of people starting with my huge immediate and wider family and large church communities, various groups…

  • Et tu, Google+?

    Et tu, Google+?

    Amber O’Hara’s now banned Google Plus profile Gosh, it’s as if sex workers don’t have enough to juggle with, without now being overly-censored by the stuffy and the righteous on this vast wasteland of free porn, otherwise known as the Internet.  Oh well, Google+, (who are still hoping to become the new Facebook,) which I…

  • Step Five – twitter and my new BFFs

    Step Five – twitter and my new BFFs

    I am having a lot of fun online.  I have discovered the fun of twitter.  There is much out there to laugh at and enjoy.  I have found the twitter community to be lots of fun, and very welcoming.  I don’t know if it’s beneficial to me and my “business” although it seems other working girls…
