- Bio
- I am an ex-prostitute/dominatrix from the UK. Now a writer/artist on the rights of pro-prostitution issues. A stigma buster & a advocate for the renewal of social values to be bestowed to sexworkers.
I have had 30 years experience in the sex industry, both bad & good. experienced what its like to be brutally attacked & survive, after being charged with murder of a client, facing the stigma`s involved in the legal & media world for sexworkers.
My stance is `non-victim`, rather see experiences as lifes trials & adventures which are there for the learning & the empowering if looked at from a inquiring & balanced viewpoint.
Sexworkers are both amateur & professional in their career choices, some people get this mixed up & see sexworkers as `the same! This is far from the truth. many sexworkers have never had reliable advice or support, whilst others have shared their knowledge & grown as a result of this type of networking. These are intelligent & pro-active sexworkers who rarely get the chance to be heard outside of the sex industry world.
These are also sexworkers who help humankind, are real carers & real teachers.
Teaching & caring for those who otherwise would be damaged or lost in their conceptions of both what sex is about & the inner aspects of both male & female that sits within us all!
respect for gender & respect for sex is the forward & healthy way for humankind. Little is discussed about the real aspects of both sex & sexuality in mainstream media. Which is a sorry indictment on societies, considering the amount of advertising for sex that available.
I believe the emotions around relationships & sex should be readily discussed & debated from a young age & in the education system. A way to truly prepare the future generations for the right kind of choices to make in their own futures.
I also believe that violence both against women/children & or sexworkers `could` be radically reviewed or changed during this process.

Debate on laws around uk sexwork.
Here in the UK the police are asking for a new debate around the
laws of prostitution!
Its in light of the conviction of a guy who killed 3 street
sexworkers.
Today I see that most polls conducted are in favour of decriminalisation, some as much as 78% for.
Although I take a… Read full post »
The arguement against having children.
The irresponsibility of humans en masse is almost parasitic in
its needs.
I know this may be a bee in the bonnet to many, but come on lets
stop having so many children.
I am sick of hearing women with one, two or more children saying
`I`m broody`! Nothing more infuriates… Read full post »
Are all women prostitutes?
The question is `are all women prostitutes?
& please give this some thought before you respond...rather
then acting on emotional or social initial beliefs.
Nor is this intended as any disrespect to women or men for that
matter, rather a social/personal observation.

HUMAN RIGHTS?
Human rights, is a subject that passes the lips of most people I have known in certain circumstances.
`It is MY human right`/`it is `OUR` human right..etc, etc!
When at times like this I write down my true thoughts, it usually brings a reception of disgust or dismay. I am never… Read full post »

Part 2: I Have Something To Say.
I thought after the kind & thoughful remarks on Salon about my story `I Have Nothing To Say`, I would do a quick follow-up & in doing so answer some of the questions.
The expanded details of both my childhood/adolescence, my life as a prostitute & after, will be the essence… Read full post »
The Table.
Dark, long corridors of houses, sitting cheek by jowl between corner shops, the wax-factory, the abattoir and the butcher; interspersed with a church, a primary and a secondary modern school. Red-bricked terrace houses that had been colour washed with black soot, staining the once earthy colours.

The Social Embrace.
People who look into & critize sexwork, without knowing the full facts & a balanced sexual self, are estimations & discriminations in the eyes of viewers, judges, and naives!
Granted when you look at the big area of prostitution, you cannot fail to see the pain and the suffering that can… Read full post »
On a hot and sticky evening the summer of 1976, I was meeting up with my prostitute colleagues in our usual spot on the corner of Union Street. We always conferred about clients and related any trouble we had, especially since the Yorkshire Ripper was on the loose.
Before long, a… Read full post »
