I started stripping 8 years ago when I was very feminine, timid, closeted, and male-centered. Following the lock downs of 2020, I turned to OnlyFans and porn.
Sex work is not inherently empowering, and I reject monolithic statements that presents this work as such, but sex work has been incredibly expansive for me.
Because of my position, people have opened up to me and revealed just how far from their deepest desires they have wandered because of a society that demands adherence to sexual purity, monogamy, heterosexuality, and shame.
Through these interactions, I learned how far I had strayed from myself as well. Through these interactions, I felt myself slowly beginning to come back.
