The Whore's Bedroom

I met Rhys Phillips in London to dive into his work: being a male escort who services women and couples. Our jobs are technically the same, but there are so many interesting differences that I was so excited to ask him about. I absolutely loved this conversation and hope you guys do too!

You have been asking me - how do I become an escort? What tips do you have for beginners in the industry? I'm finally answering that, and giving my advice for anyone who is interested in entering the world of full service sex work. This advice will also be helpful for those who are already established in the industry in other locations, but are looking for logistical information about specifically working in Europe.

To be clear, this episode is NOT a comprehensive guide that tells you everything you need to know about escorting successfully and safely. This is meant to be a starting point, and it is meant to encourage you to do your own research. Safety information specifically varies so much depending on your location - I touch briefly on safety in this work, but it is imperative that you do your own research and have multiple ways to keep yourself safe while working.

It's been a while since I sat down alone to share my opinions - and those opinions have changed. I'm taking back what I said in some of my previous episodes, and sharing some new things I've learned. Let's talk about spirituality, dating, and north american vs european men when they cheat.

Disabled men are rarely able to get their sexual needs filled. That's where Sonia comes in - she not only offers specific services as an escort to accommodate disabled clients, but also gives them a discount. They make up much of her clientele, and have shaped her outlook on both work and life. We chatted about her experiences in sex work - not just with disabled clients, but with pro submission, 6 week trips with clients, her female clientele and so much more.

As one of the host cities for the FIFA world cup, Vancouver is already prepping for the alleged sex trafficking that comes with the event. But there's a catch - there is absolutely no proof to back up the claim that such sporting events cause an increase in sex trafficking, nor even an increase in demand for consensual sex work. Crystal from SWAN Vancouver joined me to discuss the tangible negative effects these trafficking myths have on sex workers, as well as current political changes in Vancouver that are making vulnerable worker's situations more dire than ever.

SWAN is a non-profit organization that promotes the rights, health, and safety of im/migrant women engaged in indoor sex work through frontline service and systemic advocacy. They offer low-barrier, culturally-specialized, and non-stigmatizing services through both inreach and outreach programs.
