  • 88. Squirting on Command feat. Little Red: "So I was going through my slut phase..."

    Welcome to Ep 88 of It's So Hard, a podcast about sex work and other sexy things. We're excited to welcome back fellow ex-churchie and FSSW Little Red!

    We raise the question of whether we are "ourselves" at work. We chat about various relationships with fantasies, including Tess's 10-yr fantasy-plan. Little Red chats about how much one should jam into an hour-long booking. And of course, how she discovered squirting...

    So if you're into PSE services with some armchair philosophy on the side, this is the ep for you!
