#221 - Sex Work as Play: Exploring Joy, Pleasure and Healing with Suzannah Weiss

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mentioning of suicide.*** What does a physicist and sex work got to do with each other?! Well, I am bringing on Zeus of Olympus Mons onto the show this week. Zeus is a trained physicist, sex worker (and all around teddybear!) who helps take down leaked content of sex workers down for free. Zeus brings in over 15 years of experience of taking leaked or stolen content down starting from when he was in highschool. After witnessing his peers at school getting blackmailed and hearing stories of young teens being pushed to take their own lives after their nudes were threatened to get leaked, Zeus decided enough was enough. Word got out that he was a protector of some sort in his teen years which followed him into his sex work career and because he has had so much experience getting this stuff off the internet, he's now teaching people through his YouTube how to get it off for free. Zeus and I also go through specific websites you should watch out for where leaked content is posted, different methods which people will use to steal your content, how to find out if your content has been stolen and his recommend course of action on how to get it down. It is a highly informative episode that every sex worker (and honestly, minors) should be listening to. https://twitter.com/zeusolympusmons https://onlyfans.com/zeusolympusmons https://instagram.com/zeusofolympusmons https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvCAGt-DFufb8ifudVfXRbw Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

At the beginning of this season, we were introduced to the legal structure of sex work and what that might look like in Nevada. I pry deeper into the subject with legal courtesan, sexual educator, and sex work advocate, Alice Little, onto the show this week. She brings her years of expertise as a sexual educator, her lived experience as a legal courtesan and her vast knowledge on sex worker rights and advocacy to the forefront in this episode. We talk in lengths about the steps that she took to uproot her life in New York over to Pahrump, Nevada to work at the world-famous Chicken Ranch. We also dive into the the immense amount of advocacy work that Alice is involved with. Alice is a co-founder of the Nevada Brothels Association, a committee that advocates for the rights of women working in Nevada brothels, and also founded the Hookers for Healthcare political action group which fights for healthcare policies that benefit sex workers and other stigmatized groups. Alice recently had the opportunity to speak with Supervisor Hilary Ronen of San Francisco to discuss potential methods of decriminalization or legalization in the state of California. Alice continues to champion for sex workers rights and hopes to speak with more states. https://www.thealicelittle.com/ https://twitter.com/alicelittleedu https://www.youtube.com/c/alicelittletv https://www.instagram.com/thealicelittleofficial Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

Excited to bring on p0rnstar, Sophia Locke, onto the show this week! Sophia was a MAJOR cam model at the top of her game until *poof* - one day she just disappeared. She had left the adult industry so abruptly due to her ex-husband which we go into detail of and speak of the boundaries they had set in place for their relationship. We also speak about how Sophia went from the industry, to vanilla work, and back to the adult industry and how she was still able to come out on top (literally and figuratively!). We speak on how her brand had changed and where the industry had categorized her... plus, a lot more. https://twitter.com/_SophiaLocke_ linktr.ee/sophialocke Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

Ahhhhh, this is a highly anticipated episode! I am very excited to bring on friend and fellow workaholic, MelRose Michaels of SWCEO onto the show this week to speak about emerging technologies surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). Why might this be a topic of interest, you ask? With so much attention diverting to AI-run software, platforms, and simulations, there was a lot of chatter going on in various communities I am part of to speak about how AI might affect SWers. We address topics like if our work is threatened, various marketing techniques that we, as creators, can use to our advantage, and even some ongoing research on how they are using AI to track down "victims" of human trafficking amongst escort ads. It's a lot to take in but MelRose, who is an avid content creator and SWer herself, regularly keeps up with new additions in tech in general and in the sex tech space. It's a great conversation to listen to to perhaps shift negative perceptions about technology and really hone in on the opportunities that it is creating for us. https://melroseuncensored.com twitter.com/melrosemichaels onlyfans.com/melrosemichaels instagram.com/melrosemichaels onlyfans.com/melrosemichaels Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

It’s a jam-packed episode this week! I speak with Top 0.1% OnlyFans and TikTok creator, Cami Strella, this week to speak about her experience in a multilevel marketing (MLM) scheme and what that had taught her. Her story may have been a long one but because MLMs occur to many BIPOC people and vulnerable groups, we wanted to share her story to provide perspective and how her escape bled into her entry into sex work. After leaving the organization she was involved in, Cami put herself through school to pursue occupational therapy but was doxxed and kicked out of her academic program by her peers by a TikTok that went viral. Despite the traumatic events that had happened to her, Cami was able to turn her life around and continually gives back to the community and those in need by donating 10% of her monthly OF sales to people in need and military veterans. https://www.camistrella.com twitter.com/thecamistrella Instagram.com/camistrella TikTok: thecamistrella https://onlyfans.com/camistrella Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

I haven't done a proper episode dedicated to virtual reality so why not bring the VR queen on herself? I'd like to introduce Banksie onto the show this week. If you've never heard of Banksie, she is also known as the queen of camming and has spoken on numerous panels, adult shows and workshops on her knowledge of the adult industry from the perspective of a cam model. Banksie shares with us her knowledge of virtual reality and opens up on where she thinks it is going. After being presented with a brand partnership, Banksie dove both feet right into the world of virtual reality. She shares with us on what equipment is best, certain features that she uses to really enhance her fans' experiences and also discusses some insight on how it is affecting the pornography front. Take this episode as a VR 101 - just the tip of the iceberg and certainly not the limit of where live-streaming and porn can go. https://banksietv.com instagram.com/banksietv twitter.com/queenbanksie Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

Eeeee, I love love LOVED recording this episode with my new friend, Kristel Penn, of Grooby. Kristel is the Creative and Editorial Director at Grooby, a 2-time award-winning XBIZ Executive, runs the Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs), founder of Ikigai Marketing and outspoken advocate for trans folks in the SWer community. I brought Kristel onto the show to reflect on our time during the busy awards season in Las Vegas and Los Angeles this past month and Kristel sheds light on what really goes on behind the scenes for trans folks. Kristel spills the tea on how traditional award ceremonies and mainstream adult industry events still exhibit trans exclusionary behaviour and practices and although the industry has come along way, they reveal that there is still much work left to be done to be fully inclusive. They shed light on how and why the TEAs came to be and the things that they are doing right to ensure that their attendees and the performers they celebrate feel safe, are protected and celebrated. In addition to this, Kristel is also studying towards obtain their Masters in Psychology in becoming a therapist, as another one of their passions is talking about mental health. They run an account on TikTok, the Sad But Rad Club, which highlights the importance of changing the narrative surrounding mental health. twitter.com/thekristelpenn TikTok: sadbutradclubxo instagram.com/kristelpenn ikigaimarketing.com Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.

Big episode ahead! Very excited to have adult entertainment lawyer, Corey Silverstein, of Silverstein Legal onto the show. Corey is one of the premier adult attorneys in the biz and has many independent creators, adult talent and major corporations backed on his list of clientele. Having been in the adult industry sine the 90s, Corey shifted careers and went on to study law at Purdue University and has been practicing as the managing attorney at Silverstein Legal for 13+ years. He understands the ins and outs of the adult industry and is an outspoken advocate for sex worker rights, decriminalization and mental health amongst sex workers. Corey speaks to us on the importance of having a lawyer as a sex worker, addresses FOSTA/SESTA and unravels how this becomes law in the first place and also discusses accessibility and legal representation. His COVID baby, adult.law, is a subscription service which gives subscribers access to a wealth of legal knowledge, videos, questions and cases for a fraction of what typical lawyer fees look like. Corey even had time to answer specific legal questions for some fans of the show that you definitely don't want to miss. silversteinlegal.com adult.law twitter.com/myadultattorney instagram.com/coreysilverstein Fox Digital is an official partner of the show.
