Welcome to a special two-part episode about sex work! We’re speaking with former sex worker and comedienne Kaytlin Bailey today.
In Part 1, Kaytlin gave us a "Sex Work 101." We recommend listening to that episode first if you're unfamiliar with sex work.
Now in Part 2, we dive into the discussion of sex work and self-care. Kaytlin describes the emotional labor of sex work and draws parallels between it and therapy. She also contrasts sex work to other professions such as waitressing, noting she has more control in sex work than a chaotic restaurant environment. We consider race and privilege in sex work and end with a look at the historical vilification of sex workers.
