  • We Were On A Break! The Xmas Quickie: "Bring me wine!"

    Yes, yes, we are still on that break but it's Xmas and we felt it was only appropriate to celebrate somehow!

    In this week's Xmas Quickie, we chat holiday plans, play some festive Truth or Drink and talk through our current fantasies. We also give our tips for managing a sometimes complex time of year, and you'll get a sneak peak of Tess' new Patreon series!

    Join our hosts for a laugh, a muse and some of the real (and occasionally sexy!) convos. You can find us on social media @sohardpod, at our website itssohard.info/ or support us on patreon.com/itssohard.

  • We Were On A Break! The IDEVASW 2021 Rant: "We're not fucking calm!"

    Yes, we're still on a break but it's an important week and we wanted to recognise the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers on the 17th Dec.

    We continue Tess' discussion about assumptions of safety, violence and sex work: we consider the ways structural, cultural and direct violence impact sex workers and how important it is for all of us (looking at you too civvies!) to push for the structural justice of decriminalisation.

  • We Were On A Break! Flashback to Int. Sex Workers' Day 2021

    We're technically on a break... but we couldn't help but share some of the other great content we've enjoyed making this year!

    This week, you get a piece of Patreon with an edit of our discussion on International Sex Workers' Day 2021! We talk legislation, the history of sex workers' rights and how civvies can get educated and support those on the frontlines.

  • 49. Erotic Blueprints: "Do not date me if you're into massage!"

    A slight change of plans, but we roll with the punches for ep 49 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry

    This week, Jen puts on some purple lippy, Tess gets a little tipsy and we get *erotic*! We take the Erotic Blueprint quiz by Jaiya, and decide we have quite a bit in common, we're both a little kinky AND we could all benefit from learning more about our own erotic needs and desires.

  • 48. Religion and Sex Part 2: "You're hurting Jesus' feelings!"

    Let's all bow our heads and hear the Word of Ep 48 for It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

    That's right folks, Tess and Jenn get into some churchy business again. We talk public shame and restorative justice, how religion has fucked us up a little and that one time that Tess' sermon was too extreme for the cult!!!

  • 47. Break Up Sex Part 2 feat. Kate: "No moving to the country for love!"

    Kate's back to finish our discussion for ep 47 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

    This week, we continue to mull over the highs and lows of breaking up, the attraction of ex sex and Tess talks about the process of breaking up with clients. Kate also advises against moving to the country for love and Jenn suggests we should all throw open the doors of possibility for what relationships, sex and intimacy should look like.

  • 46. Break Up Sex Part 1 feat. Kate: "Jelly shots get me every time!"

    We welcome back Kate for ep 46 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

    In part one of this two-week ep, we dive into the criteria for a real breakup, what it means to start queer dating for the first time and the age-old question: to have the break-up fuck or not. Kate also shares her candle endeavours, Jenn reminisces about public sexy times and Tess gets hit on by an attractive mouse. There's a lot to take in here, folks!

    We're in our mid forties at It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry!

    And to help us celebrate, Juno has dropped back in to catch up and chat about attraction, navigating civvy friendships and why capitalism is always the bad guy. We also cover stealthing as sexual assault, why Jenn is SO bad at flirting and Tess makes a sexual discovery.

  • 44. Coercion Part 2: "Don't shower, just rant!"

    Ep 44 is here for It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

    This week, Jenn and Tess revisit coercive communication and behaviour. Jenn shares why she's hopeless at remembering appointments lately, we both agree that being late is the worst feeling ever and we muse over the nuances of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. On a more serious note, Tess then shares an experience of coercive behaviour with a client that resulted in sexual assault and we both discuss the ways that we can all avoid coercive dynamics and strive for healthy communication styles.
