This representation can be on twitter, writing for the blog or at events. It has to be this way for we believe no one is representative and every sex […]

We would like to thank Vivian Valentine for this post, feminists are often seen as the enemy by sex workers, this is an important contribution to a more nuanced debate.

Who were SexWork4U?

reposted with kind permission from http://sometimesitsjustacigar.wordpress.com/ Sometimes I wake up, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I think, perhaps we pay too much attention to the extremists.
