Aeryn and Christian look at some of the issues sex workers encounter when advertising.  We’ll look at sex work advertising laws as well as compare how people in the broader community might advertise for sex to those who do it as a job.  We’ll also imagine what a sex work ad might sound like and ask, why can sex sell everything but sex?

Happy 40th Episode!

To celebrate, Anastasia and Christian talk about sex. It seems bizarre that it has taken this long for a sex worker radio program to get around to talking about sex but we’re finally here.  What does sex mean to sex workers? How does sex happen in different types of sex work?  We also ask what work means to the community, and given that sex is our work, does this have any commonalities with how we define sex?  Listen in!
