#20 - I've Always Been Known as "The Girl with the Massive Tits" w/ Samantha Mack of MACK Movies

We've all been there. Burnout. Sex workers are no stranger to burnout. As independent contractors, we are not always in the position to say no to work so I invite adult performer, Spencer Bradley, onto the show to share their experiences on how they deal with it all. Having worked as a stripper previously, we compare and contrast just how vastly different working as a dancer is vs. working on-screen in pornography. The luxury and privilege of having the choice to not go to work or hide in the change room differs greatly than when you're working on set. You have to work through it and put your happy face on which doesn't always contribute to a healthy mentality. Spencer shares their methods on how they prevent getting burnt out, recognizing your boundaries and how they practice unwinding. www.spencerbradley.com twitter.com/spencerbradleyx instagram.com/spencerbradleyofficial Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of incest, rape, and sexual assault.*** This has been a long-awaited episode that's been in the works over the past couple seasons so I am thrilled to finally bring on Lily Craven onto the show! Lily is an adult performer in pornography who specializes in MILF and mommy dom content. What is it that attracts so many people to this particular content? It is, after all, one of the most popular genres in porn. But what makes it so popular? Surely, the people who find this content as sexy and a turn-on do not actually view their mothers as hot. Of course, this is all but a part of the larger umbrella of taboo content, which Lily and I go at lengths in explaining. Lily takes the time to dissect the fetish and in her personal experience, might guest that the turn-on is role that she plays - the nurturing, caring and assertive mother. It's an interesting conversation that we attempt to dissect. Fox Digital is an official partner of the show. Stripped by SIA listeners get 20% off!

With Twitter being observed as the next platform to go down, it's important that we look at other avenues to keep our online presence alive. We've talked about diversifying in the past but hey, those platforms can disappear in a minute as well. We've briefly mentioned it before but it's becoming more and more apparent that having your own personal website might be the best way to go. I've invited my webmaster, Anthony of Fox Digital, to come onto the show to have a candid discussion about the importance of good web design. Anthony has done my website, www.strippedbysia.com (launching December 1st!), and has done countless websites for FSSWers. We chat about free or templated website design services vs. custom, what to look out for in a good website, how to find a trustworthy website designer and what you might expect about costs. We understand that not everyone is in the position to purchase and maintain a website but go over options that might be of interest to you - a great conversation for SWers starting out and extending out to those who and ready to go full custom, a must listen!

I know I don't post bonus episodes anymore but today is an exception! I guest lectured recently at Florida State University in their Human Sexuality class where I spoke to class of eager and curious students about sex work. It's always a pleasure to speak to this class and every cohort is different and I so very much appreciate the respectfulness and all of the questions that were asked in class.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** Mention of money talk, body image, sexual assault.*** It's about time I conducted this long-awaited episode about Reddit with my colleague, Suki Jade! Suki is a FSSWer, Twitch and Discord streamer, the Social Media Director at PS Group, and Reddit pro. Having been in the industry for 10 years, Suki's done it all. She speaks to us about her background and as an undiagnosed person on the spectrum explains to us why SWer has been her career of choice. Having been an early adopter to Reddit, Suki knows all the ropes. She provides us with an overview on what Reddit is, how best to use it and what to avoid. There are a lot of rules in Reddit and we hate to say it, but it's a man's world and the platform caters to it. However, there is room for all types of genders and SWers to really thrive on the platform and Suki gives us some intel on her strategies on how she does this for herself and her clients. It's a fantastically information-packed episode to be sure to tune in and watch her webinar in the links below1 Watch the video exclusive only on Patreon: patreon.com/strippedbysia https://thesukijade.com https://wearepsgroup.com/webinars/ twitter.com/suki_jade reddit.com/u/Bittercupbae allmylinks.com/suki-jade Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, RATE, REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE! twitter.com/strippedbysia instagram.com/strippedbysia patreon.com/strippedbysia www.strippedbysia.com

***TRIGGER WARNING*** Mention of the Robert Pickton case; murder and assault.*** I know so many SWers that have PHDs or that are working towards getting their PHDs. Moreover, there are people outside the scope of our community who are studying us and are constantly on the lookout for SWers with lived experience to share their experiences to contribute to their research. Even with the best intentions and ethics set in place, there are times where SWers are still getting exploited in this space for their time. I speak with Evania from The Sex Work Historian, a blog dedicated to sex work advocacy in Canada. A PHD candidate herself, Evania has been impassioned to support SWers responsibly within her field. Being in academia comes with a privilege. Evania, as a ciswhite woman in academia, is fully aware of her privilege and the roots of academia which has built a foundation on classism, ableism and racism. She provides us with her own personal practices on how she exercises inclusivity, acknowledgement and sensitivity training when communicating and working with SWers. Although this episode is focused on allyship and the parallels of academia and sex work, these tips can also be utilized for anyone who might be intimated on getting involved with sex work support.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of substance abuse*** Love this intimate conversation with FSSWer, Charlee Beckett. Charlee has dabbled in many forms of SW over the past decade and comes on the show this week to speak to us about her battle with substance addiction. She has had a long relationship with alcohol and various drugs throughout her late teens and adulthood. We speak about the parallels of the hospitality industry and SW and speak about how substances can be intertwined within our work. Charlee gets real with us on how she quit cold turkey and although she recognized that she desperately needed help, the throes of the reality of how drug and alcohol addiction in Vancouver proved the opposite effect. She wanted the help, but there was a waitlist. She wanted to stop using, but they recommended that she continue using until they were able to admit her. It's a rude awakening if you haven't heard of the opioid crisis in Vancouver, you'll hear about it on this episode. It's a eye-opening conversation that Charlee and I had and I hope you can learn a thing or two from the episode! Watch the video exclusive only on Patreon: patreon.com/strippedbysia PS. It's Charlee's birthday today so be sure to send her some love in the form of gifts or tips! https://allmylinks.com/expcharlee Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, RATE, REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE! twitter.com/strippedbysia instagram.com/strippedbysia patreon.com/strippedbysia www.strippedbysia.com

I can't believe it's taken me this long to record and episode on the legalization of sex work. I know that I advocate for the decriminalization of sex work, but I also think it is fair that we hear from those who are working in a legal capacity. That's why I was so excited when I got the opportunity to interview with Ariel Ganja, a legal courtesan based in the state of Nevada, in the USA. Ariel works at the famed Chicken Ranch just outside of Las Vegas which is a legal, licensed brothel. I was very curious and had SO many questions on what life was like at the Ranch. Ariel and I discuss everything under the sun from what her regular day-to-day looks like, room and board, what she is allowed to bring into the Ranch, how the line up works for clients, picking and choosing and of course, what her stance is on legalization vs. decriminalization. Ariel speaks freely on why legalization has worked for her and offers a unique insight on why this might be a good option for people. As always, I like to a provide a transparent approach to all facets of sex work, including the legal side of it, so I hope that you are able to consume this episode with an open mind and enjoy this conversation I had with Ariel as much as I did.
