Today, on International Sex Workers Day, we are posting about the experiences of ace and aro sex workers. Thank you to all who shared their experiences!The graphics below feature some quotes from our article, but there’s much more: https://taaap.org/2022/06/02/aspec-sex-workers/[ID: Aspec Sex Workers. “Just because I’m asexual doesn’t mean that sex work was traumatizing for me. Sex work was a revelation for me. Doing my ideal work, I had a lot of control over who I saw, how much I wanted to be paid, and what my expectations were. I was able to have boundaries, clear, firm boundaries, in a way I didn’t feel safe in my personal relationships having boundaries.” - Kitty Stryker. “It can be a struggle to assert my own needs when they conflict with clients’ desires. It also makes it harder to find people who’ll pay for my services since I’m much more narrow in what I’m willing to do compared to many other sex workers.” - Alice.Aspec Sex Workers. “There are many different types of sex work and different people have different needs, wants and limitations.” - Destiny. “Aspec communities could better support me by continuing to remind themselves that sex and sexual attraction are two different things. As are kink and sex or sex work and sex. We just need to keep differentiating between things that society keeps trying to group together.” - Amber. “The main way I would like to see aspec communities better support me is to invite us to speak. Normalize us (and not just the slender, cis and white among us, but all of us)!” - Kitty Stryker. End ID.] -- source link
