Do you believe that there’s someone you know who does sex work? Or, would you believe that someone you know exchanges her or his time in a sexy & intimate way for money or benefit?

It’s a lot more common than many people realize and is a trade shared all around the globe.

As I’ve been traveling in East Asia exploring the landscape and having self-discoveries, I have also been on a search to connect with other people who may be in the consensual sex trade to research and learn for the documentary story we’re putting together as a continuation of the stage play we put on this past summer (Confessions of a Courtesan: 7 Deadly Sin-Sational Stories) about my own experiences in sex work.

As a solo traveler, I haven’t been as bold as I would have liked to be in taking strolls down the massage parlor districts but somehow I always seem to make contact with at least one person who already is or has been a sex worker.

It’s invigorating to connect with fellow workers in the intimacy trade, even though I’ve been away from the “groundwork” for years now, ( I was a porn actress and an escort back in the majority of my twenties) and my experience is all digital these days (Maintaining a fantasy character for my online community and creating awesome, artistic erotica for us to enjoy).
