I watched a brilliant documentary on sex work last week that I have to share . It covered just how salient a service it is for those living with disability. Of course sex work is an equally important service for the able bodied but deeply lonely and for those who just want no strings attached highly skilled sex, but this documentary focusses on disability. This film also defies the constant stereotype of prostitution as an act of desperation on behalf of the sex worker. Yes, there is a reason the stereotype exists, it does happen but it is only one part of a much larger story. Sex work can and is for many a considered, thoughtful longterm career choice that brings much needed pleasure to both client and provider alike. I am embedding the trailer in this blog but you can follow this link to watch the full movie plus an interview with the director.
