What About Sex Workers' Sex Lives?

Explicit content warning

04/05/23 • 23 min

Sex workers, fat folks, queer folks, and femmes are generally not encouraged to set boundaries for ourselves when it comes to sex . We’re told to act according to society’s script: please our partners, never ask for what we want, and never complain when we don’t get it. In this tarot-infused episode from Erica Sosa, the Queen of Cups and the Queen of Wands show us how to break away from all that to focus on our own joy, pleasure, and desires.

Check out Erica's blog, Revolutionary Hotness, which is all about celebrating herself as a fat femme in a world that wants her to be ashamed of it. Also, find her on Instagram here!

Special Announcements (+ call for filmmakers & podcasters!)

Hi! We have some special announcements today!

Bad news first:
due to scheduling conflicts, Ataraxxxia isn't able to continue here on this podcast, BUT you haven't seen the last of her! She remains super dedicated to uplifting and de-stigmatizing sex work in Latin America. She will always be a friend of this show, and she will likely appear as a guest again sometime in the future. We love you, Ata!! Follow her on Instagram here.

Updates to the show:
For now, we'll be releasing episodes every two weeks while Leilah searches for grants, sponsorship, and any other funding that may be available to this podcast. We aren't going anywhere; we're just taking a slight step back while we figure out how to take some big leaps forward.

Calling queer, femme, or sex working filmmakers & podcasters!
