And just a note before we start: Every sex worker's story is different. Some get into the industry because they have a passion for it, others do it out of financial necessity. Some workers can stay 100% safe on the job, while others may take on risks. The following stories are the experiences of individuals and shouldn't be seen as representations of the industry or its workers as a whole.

My lack of sexual education left me feeling ashamed in so many aspects of my sex life as I got older. I was scared to communicate, I was often embarrassed, and there were even times when I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t orgasm. But the truth was, I didn't really know anything about my own body.
We went from the app to texting to get to know each other. When he said his favorite show was “MTV: The Challenge” and he asked me if I’ve seen the second season of "Jersey Shore" yet, I should’ve read the room.
Still, we decided to FaceTime that night instead and to my surprise, he looked years older than he had claimed he was on the app. The video chat was also weird, and aside from not feeling the chemistry, he asked me questions such as “How fast do you move sexually?” after I told him I don’t have sex on a first date. That's when I debated throwing my phone out the window. 😑
Let’s just say, we hung up and I immediately deleted the guy’s number. I went back to the app to find out that the guy unmatched me. Well, he beat me to it!
