Who Gets to Identify as a Sex Worker? How Social Hierarchies Permeate the Sex Industry

The Mainstreaming of "Kink"

Integrity in the Industry of Secrets

It's wonderful. It's liberating. It's healthy. It's arguably necessary, especially for those who don’t have the time for or interest in traditional romance and conventional relationships. It also creates an opening for bad actors.

Risk is a word that is loaded for marginalized communities, particularly ones in the sex industry: high-risk, risky behavior, at-risk. But a new podcast episode out by Planet Money details a new kind of baseline risk only sex workers can demonstrate.

Where Have All the Fatal Attractions Gone? Sexpendables in a post-FOSTA/SESTA World

According to New York Times culture writers Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham, sex in popular culture is notably absent: "Sure, there’s sex in film and TV," they write," but in recent history, there has been an absence of content that treats sex not as an aside, but as the main event."
