It’s always nice to hear/read comments from people who can see sex workers as more than what they do, unlike some people on this planet (see my post on Donna Hughes, who actively advocates for the abuse of sex workers for the kind of people we usually have to deal with).

Like many people, I used to assume that anyone who did this for a living was deluded, lazy, or dumb. A project I did for my undergraduate degree changed that for me, and I saw that there were a great many women (and men, actually) who are extremely intelligent individuals engaged in escort work across the country, and across the world for that matter. So it became much less stigmatized to me personally.

I appreciate Julie doing not only this project itself, but having the courage to interview a sex worker to find out that we are indeed just like any other human being on the planet.

And thanks to you guys for the kind words. I look forward to trying to make a difference in some small way with respect to the rights of sex workers, and the right of each individual to enjoy their sexuality on their own terms and not those of the government or some individual or group of individuals who think they should be allowed to impose their morals on everyone else.

This is by far the most interesting and thought provoking interview on the web…seriously. Two years ago, prior to a semi-life changing accident and too many screw ups with multiple surgeries on my knee, I was a single person (still single) fascinated with this life and the professionalism that could be brought to a person’s passion for sex and the fact that it’s not a dirty profession if you have a good head on your shoulders and a brain up there. I wrote the better part of a book on erotica (yes, me) and pondered this really interesting life (prior to the weight that all of this medical bullshit put upon me, I did have curves in the right places and a better attitude).

I loved reading this. I’m going to use the word again…fascinated. This young woman is brilliant. Kudos for going outside the box. Well, wrong choice of words….but….yay. Inspiring.

I had realized by some your tweets that you were majoring in Sex Education working for at least your Masters degree and possibly going for your doctorate. I also knew your were working as an escort. This article shows not only your passion for sex but the side of you that many of don’t see. The passion that sex not be dirty regardless of who is doing it to whom. For that fact protection of sex workers in everyday life. Regardless of what happens go for it and be our best..

Bravo! This was a great read–and so fascinating. Alexa–thank you for sharing this with us. This was a rare glimpse into the life of an escort, told so honestly. I can’t wait to check out your blog.

What a fascinating person. Young, vibrant, intelligent and completely confident in what she is doing. I applaud and support the work she is doing. Maybe if more people did then the horrible conditions in which the other “set” of sex workers have to deal with could be improved. I guess it is like anything else there are white collar workers, like Alexa and blue collar workers like a lot of the street prostitutes and it is a matter of chance, circumstances and personal grit as to which group you end up working in. Another great pick Julie!
