Welcome to the slightly last-minute ep 43 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

Jenn is out of the mix for this week, so Tess sat down with our resident guest client Shawn to discuss all things reviews, ratings and navigating boundaries in sex worker-client relationships. They cover how to get and give feedback, the fallacies of current review systems and how kindness goes a long way both ways.

Ep 42 is here to round out the Brothel Diaries series for It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

Tess shares three more bookings to sum up a whole shift at the broth, Jenn gets self-reflective and wonders whether she might be a psychopath and we share a rose and some love with new peer-led advertising platform, Ivy Société!

We're into the 40s of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

And we're excited to welcome back our guest Shawn for part two of our chat about client experiences. We cover what makes a good booking, how to break the ice as a new client and how preferences shift over time from "bargains" to more meaningful experiences. We also quickly shout out Smutclub Film Festival with the fantastic Kit from Fuscous Fury, which we can't wait to attend for the first time this year!

Welcome to ep 40 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

And guess what - Jenn and Tess are both in the same city!!! We celebrate with a tipsy, extended mulling after a long day of guest recordings... we start with Shakespeare, muddle our way through relationship expectations and end with Tess leaning into some cat lady energy. This one goes deep - enjoy!

We've reached ep 39 of It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

And we figured it's time for the first installment of our Dick Series... this week, we talk about the fallacy of BDE, how common dick size anxiety is and we both agree that a broader definition of sex would be much more inclusive for all! Plus, Tess talks outcall logistics, Jenn gets real pun-ny and we both use a LOT hand gestures.

Ep 38 is here for It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

We're joined by our literal and chosen mum, Pet to discuss all things OCD and sex. We cover Tess' brainscan kink, our collective religious backgrounds and how Jenn was a stage 5 clinger as a baby. Pet shares how she and her partner have navigated OCD, asexuality and demisexuality across a 36-year partnership... this ep is basically the lovestory of Jenn's parents!

Ep 37 is here and it's a doozy. Welcome to It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

This week, we mull over attraction, ethics and the wild ride that spontaneous decisions takes us on! We share some love for the fabulous Lucy Price and her podcast In Bed with Lucy, Tess shares an experience of sexual assault in a brothel and how toxic organisational and legislative structures contribute to "bad experiences" in the industry.

Roll up, roll up for ep 36 It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

This week, we hear from our first client guests, Shawn and Luke. We talk first nudes, standard levels of service and how to ask for extras. We also muse over anal play and why clear communication results in confident and fun sexual interactions.

Welcome to part 3 of the Broth Diaries on It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

This week, Tess and Jenn talk about the results of their Erotic Blueprint Tests… turns out we're both kinky! We start our first pod book club with the outstanding 'Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights' by Juno Mac and Molly Easo Smith, Tess reflects on a tour client who preferred the slow approach and we try to nail down the various consistencies of semen.

Ep 34 seems like the perfect time to dip back into Tess' tour diaries for It's So Hard, the podcast about life in and around the sex industry.

This week, we mull over daddy issues, the productivity trap and we fangirl over the fantastic Bella Green and her new book 'Happy Endings'. Tess shares a dicey booking from her tour days and we chat about laser hair removal, shit tattoos and whether you can get chili-infused lube.
