As a full-service sex worker (erotic labourer is a term I prefer, thanks to the ever-educating Suprihmbé, but sex worker is still the more widely used term) I often ponder about the meaning of the words “sex” and “intimacy”. There’s always been a whorearchy in place in this industry: whoever manages to work around sex but avoid PiV activities is higher on the hierarchy, and those of us who partake in activities that implicate genital contact are lower in it. This is, obviously, a very tricky subject.
