An Interview with Tryst…

I had no idea how much I would like so many of my clients. It might just be down to the way I advertise, but I see so many sweeties whose company I really enjoy. The amount of clients who would go out of their way to bring me a treat just to make me happy really surprised me. I thought not having to be romantic was part of the appeal of seeing an escort but I guess for some being romantic is a pleasure itself.

Whore & Tell with Vivienne Fae
The life of a hooker is the most secure and stable I’ve ever been. Which might be hard to believe: I used to think sex work was all benders and yacht parties.

Sex work seems to have always been simultaneously romanticised and condemned by society. However it’s depicted, sex work is sensationalised, and that sensationalisation can be very sexy. […]Although there are occasional moments of glamour, sex work is work; we’ve been saying this for years. Part of what I think people can miss in that statement is all the mundanity inherent to work. This is an important idea politically, to be on the same level and to have solidarity with all workers.

Kate’s somewhat juvenile drive towards to self-destruction is very relatable to me. Everyone simply wants to be included, to have that form of love, and what they’ll do to guarantee that is largely driven by their circumstances.
