In this episode I’m chatting with Alana Grey. She’s a sex worker based in Melbourne working out of a brothel. She has been a sex worker for 9 years and loves her job, but COVID threw a total spanner in the works.
We talk about the impact of the virus on in-person sex workers, how they keep safe with clients and the surge in popularity of online platforms for entertainment during lock downs.
Ye-haw! Join Emma for another ride on the Electric Rodeo.
In the beginning, we were all so innocent. Calling it the Rona, baking sourdough, walking the dog 5 times a day, downloading the Sims and making a commitment to completing 30 days of yoga with Adrienne. Remember that? Remember the good old days?
As things continued to get out of control, these activities became a lot less entertaining and for many of us, so did our sex lives.
But what about those that are dependent on having sex as their primary form of income. Where staying home or maintaining a safe distance between themselves and their clients simply isn’t an option? What about our sex workers?
