So a couple of lovely friends of mine out in the UK are working on a project giving voices to women who have bought sex work (for a wide ranging definition of sex work). It's something I think is super important and valid, as a woman who has bought sex work myself. So if you have ever paid for an escort, tantrika, erotic massage, pro-Dom/me, sexological bodywork, or other type of sex worker, please consider writing something up for them! We need to combat stuff like this.
"Dear friends,
London Faerie and Violet Rose are starting a project that explores women paying for sexual services. We begin with 2 questions: why do women feel less empowered than men to pay for sexual experiences, and how can we change this? Of course we have some ideas of our own about this, but we'd like to do a little research and open our minds, through the input of those with first-hand experience.
At this stage our interest is in collecting writing from women who have paid for sexual services. So I'm reaching out to you now to ask you to share your experience of seeing a sex worker, if this is something you've done and would like to write about.
In particular we'd love to hear:
* what prompted you to seek out a sex worker
* how you choose who to see
* how you found the experience
* what barriers you encountered to using such services (including internal ones)
* how you overcame these barriers
* how you choose who to see
* how you found the experience
* what barriers you encountered to using such services (including internal ones)
* how you overcame these barriers
We define "sex worker" broadly - including (but not limited to) escort, Tantrika, pro-Dom or pro-Domme and Sexological Bodyworker.
With your consent we will publish your writing to a new blog-based website in the Autumn - either anonymously or with your name attached to it. In some cases we will also link your writing to the relevant sex worker's website (with your permission and theirs).
We'd really love to hear back from you, ideally by Monday 15th August. The writing doesn't have to be long (300-500 words is ideal) nor does it have to be polished or perfect. Just honest and true to your experience is perfect.
For this initial research stage, please email your writing to me: faerie at sacredpleasures dot co dot uk. I will share it Violet in the first place, and then we will look to publish it on a blog-based website later in the year.
If you prefer not to take part, or haven't had experience of paying for sexual services yourself, we welcome you to pass this request onto women you know who have.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Faerie + Violet x"
