Sex worker and sex work advocate Benny is back to give us the bottom line on life as a sex worker. Tim and Jon find out what you need to know to be a sex worker or client! How do you stay safe, get what you want and look after yourself?

We talk about the changes to sex worker legislation, with the coming second stage of the Sex Work Decriminalisation Act in December. The legislation changes were championed by Fiona Patten during her time as a MLC, and she last appeared on Hide and Seek in 2016.

Find out what to expect when you see a sex worker for the first time, as well as what to think about when you start out as a sex worker!

Benny mentioned his Tiktok in the episode. You can find it at @bennyfoxxx

We discuss sex worker support services like Scarlet Alliance, RhED and SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project in NSW)
