It's rare for documentaries to come together about sex work that aren't sensationalizing it or putting sex workers down, especially when covering the sale of sex itself. The goal of Shame Shifters is to challenge the stigma around sex work and uplift the voices of people selling sex so that we can tell our own stories, featuring those working in the UK!

I was included as one of the contributors to the project and the documentary is seeking funding to be completed, but also needs support and sharing while in this stage so that it makes it to being released! Shame Shifters can be found on Instagram and has a website here!

I was so pleased to see the inclusion of trans people in this project, including Angel's story of saving money so she could get gender-affirming surgery and my own experience as a transmasculine sex worker reaching out to others. There are also contributors from a variety of other backgrounds whose interviews I can't wait to hear in full!

If you're lucky enough to be able to help with funding this documentary or know someone who is then limited edition prints are available here for £140, including mine which gives you a piece of art in exchange for your support.

Anyone wanna give me a boost lol?

I feel like most people's biggest goal is owning a house and a car, but mine is becoming the best sex doll I can possibly be. It's training myself to take bigger dicks and harder sex, improving my stamina, building strength to hold better positions during sex and look sexier and sluttier, stretching out my ass and training away my gag reflex and improving my coordination and skill during sex acts to bring the most pleasure I possibly can. The rest is all secondary so long as I have a place to live and other methods of transportation.

I wanna do sex work to get myself closer but I don't know where to start. I love everything about sex, it's like the core of my entire being, I love pleasuring people and making others hornier. I don't care if I cum. Giving is what gets me off most. It's like my dream job to be a sex worker no matter what kind of money it brings. It's the most fulfilling career I can imagine.

Buuut without having those surgeries behind me I'm kinda limited in what content I can make due to insecurities and aesthetic flaws... I don't know if I'd get far with full service stuff either, just don't know how to advertise or take pics or set stuff up in the right places. It's a hell of a lot of organization to get my head around but maybe I could work up to it. Or I could maybe try camming? Or fansly? It's not gonna be a sole source of income for a long time though.

“like any other form of labor under capitalism, people trade sex for reasons that exist on a continuum of choice, circumstance, or coercion”

people always say sex work is empowering if you choose it. but what does choosing something really mean when rent is due and every other door is closed. survival isn’t exactly freedom

some people genuinely want to do sex work. some do it because it pays better than anything else. some feel like they have no other option. is that empowerment or just doing what you have to do. maybe both?

we like to label things as either empowering or exploitative but real life is messier than that. you can feel good about something even if it came from a hard place. and sometimes desire and desperation show up at the same time

plus we’re all shaped by what we’ve been told is “acceptable” or “respectable” especially when it comes to sex. that stuff gets in our heads whether we realize it or not

Criminalizing our clients and the sites where we advertise will severely harm sex workers. If you want to understand the specifics of these laws and their harms or to help, you'll find information through the article below! (Deadline for those who want to submit evidence against these amendments is May 13th!)

Please spread the word and oppose the Nordic Model, which increases violence against sex workers and puts us in danger!
