Sex work or therapy? With Sarah Ashton from SHIPS

Some workers welcome gifts and tips, and some clients love giving them. But is it mandatory? And what’s the etiquette? Join me for a candid chat with Clark, an experienced Aussie client, as we explore the nuances of giving and receiving. 

For some folks, being a sex worker is a 24/7 adventure…for others, it’s simply another day in the office. Escort Frankie James shares her origin story, and we swap tales of the sexual escapades we’ve enjoyed over the years as part of our work.

Jenn and Tess from ‘It’s So Hard’ podcast join me to explore what we've all learned from sex work...as well as sharing their podcast origin story, and the story behind their long friendship. It's an epic chat not to be missed, as we uncover what sex workers can teach everyone about having great sex.

Are you struggling with insecurity in the bedroom? Are you getting over a bad experience? Or perhaps you have a sexual secret that you need to get off your chest? Sex workers can be an amazing way to grow your confidence, feel better about yourself and learn more about lovemaking. But they’re not the only option. This episode, I’m speaking with Dr Sarah Ashton from SHIPS to explore why you might want to see a therapist before booking a sex worker.

Here are The Satisfaction project, we love and recommend independent workers...but we also believe that different types of services suit different clients. If you’re considering exploring sex and intimacy with a pro, it’s worth looking at all the options. So today, escort Tash Murphy joins me again, this time for an in-depth exploration of hands-on sex work in all its glorious forms.If you've ever wondered whether you'd be more at home in a brothel or a hotel room...if you're not sure whether to call an agency or strike up a conversation with a street-based worker...this is the episode for you! It's only the first instalment in the series, so stay tuned for further episodes! After all, there are many kinds of sex work out there...

In December last year, I made a guest appearance on Somebody You Love, a wonderful podcast hosted by sex industry legend Jenna Love and Holly Hart. I talked with Jenna about common client mistakes, dealing with 'drop' after a session, and the dangers of the relationship escalator. With their kind permission, I'm sharing our chat as a bonus episode. If you like what you hear, please head on over to Somebody You Love and subscribe to their podcast too - it's not to be missed!

If you plan on having really good sex with escorts, both physical and emotional safety are essential. The booking process is designed to help create confidence for both your sex worker and yourself - but safety is a two-way street, and what you do and say matters too! This episode I’m chatting with Cameron Hart, escort and adult star, to explore the ways we make our sexual experiences safer - and what you can do to get that ‘safe, secure, satisfied’ vibe happening in your sessions.

We all know that sex work is a tricky topic. Whether what we do for a living is allowed or prohibited where you live, there’s a lot of stigma. And we all want that to change. But if you’re a client, you may feel that your power to change things is pretty limited. In this episode, sex worker and advocate Holly Harte joins me to talk about practical sex work activism - everyday ways you can stand up for your favourite workers, and make everyone’s lives better.

I know we usually talk about independent sex professionals, but today we’re going to bend the rules a little and talk about brothels. Let’s face it, brothels are a thing in many parts of the world, and they can be a good way to experiment with seeing hands-on sex workers if you’re not quite ready for the full independent experience, If you’ve wondered what it’s like to visit a brothel, or what the etiquette is, wonder no more…Sam from smutbuttons.com is here to demystify the experience.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my time in the sex industry, it’s that sexual attraction is diverse and sex workers come in all shapes and sizes! Unfortunately, society’s ‘fear of fat’ can cause stress, shame, and awkwardness for workers and clients alike. Jessie Sage joins us again in this episode to unpack fatphobia and to stand up for you, if you’re a fan of ‘fat’ too.
