Stripped by SIA

I can't believe it's taken me this long to record and episode on the legalization of sex work. I know that I advocate for the decriminalization of sex work, but I also think it is fair that we hear from those who are working in a legal capacity. That's why I was so excited when I got the opportunity to interview with Ariel Ganja , a legal courtesan based in the state of Nevada, in the USA. Ariel w...

It's going to be another threesome on the show this week. Rico and Chloe reached out to me wanting to speak about their unique proposition: offering their services as a complete unit.

It's not something you always hear about. The dynamics a...

Very excited to bring on my friend, fellow pole athlete and stripper, Jenna Elissa .
