Boundaries and Capitalism: Liara Roux's Journey in Sex Work
“It's easier to set boundaries at work than in our personal lives sometimes. But I think during sex work you really have to learn how to speak up if something is not right.”
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate the complex world of sex work? In this episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa sit down with Liara Roux, an author, escort, and community organizer, for a raw and enlightening conversation. Liara opens up about her memoir, 'Whore of New York', sharing stories that are both personal and powerful.
The discussion dives into the importance of boundaries and consent, not just in the realm of sex work but in everyday life too. You'll hear about the intricate power dynamics at play in strip clubs and how misogyny pits non-sex working women against sex workers. Liara also provides a unique perspective on being an autistic sex worker, highlighting how her experiences have shaped her career and advocacy work.
With a blend of humor and seriousness, this episode offers a fresh look at the challenges and triumphs within the sex work industry. If you're curious about the intersection of capitalism, boundaries, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen.
