#165 Sex Work: Rights, Not Rescue (with Elle Stanger)

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Elle Stanger (she/they). Elle is a queer, mid-thirties nonmonogamous, parent, sex worker, AASECT Certified Sex Educator, and media producer. She has worked as a porn shop manager and product buyer, pole dancing stripper, consultant for anti-trafficking organizations, professional cuddler, porn maker, writer, podcast host, and certified sex educator. The two of us talk about their advocacy for sex workers’ rights as well as the nuances of the debates around sex work.

Key points:

• Elle introduces herself
• The importance of sex work
• Anti-sex work discrimination
• Decriminalization vs legalization
• SWERFs: Sex Work Exclusionary Radical Feminists
• Feminist porn?
• Supporting sex workers
