Article by female client 'The healing potential of (respectfully) paying for sex'

[Squiggly]

Hi all,

HerCanberra published an article of mine last week that might be of interest to others on this forum.

It's about my experiences as a new female client, and the amazing positive impact seeing a sex worker (the lovely Lexi Knight) has had on my mental health. Basically my aim was to encourage other women struggling with body image problems or depression to consider the therapeutic benefits of becoming a sex worker's client. In that context I also discuss some of the politics of sex work, building respect between clients and workers, and the need to de-stigmatise sex work.

There's also been some positive chat about it on Twitter, especially among sex workers (all of which I've archived at Link is broken,so has been taken downand on Facebook (
