What is sex work? Who is doing it? Two therapists who focus on sex worker support discuss stigma, community, the “whorearchy,” and the ways legal structures like SESTA-FOSTA harm sex workers while claiming to help society.

Are you a sex worker? Do you want to join the sex worker support group? The Sex Worker Support Group is an affirming support group for individuals 18+ who identify currently or previously as sex workers, including but not limited to work in phone sex, escorting, camming, sugaring, stripping, professional fetish/BDSM, and other erotic labor. Meetings take place on the first Monday of every month, 6:30-7:30pm CT. For Zoom link, please RSVP to [email protected] or call or text 708-320-3078.
