I’ve been waiting SO LONG to bring this guest onto the show and having had some comments and curiosities surrounding the agency side of full service work, I think it was about time to bring our guest on. I am so excited to finally bring on Elizabeth Weisz onto the show this week. Elizabeth is a companion currently (at the time of recording) based in Ottawa, Canada who has been so generous to share her experience on working in escort agencies and how she finally came to the decision to go “indy”, or independent. Yes, we’ve heard of the horror stories of working in agencies but Elizabeth also speaks about the positives. She also shares about the “bait”-style agencies which, when she explains it, almost sounds a bit like a catfish situation for clients, and safety and security measures (are there any?) that agencies claim that they offer. She speaks about her challenging time transitioning from working in an agency and getting her foot started as an independent escort which she couldn’t have done without help from the collectives – something that I had no idea even existed! Elizabeth is simply just a wealth of knowledge, intelligent and extremely personable. You don’t want to miss the penultimate episode of Season 3!

Okay, everyone. I'd like to introduce you to the CUTEST guest I have ever hosted on the show. I am so happy to have interviewed the cutesy Leana Lovings onto the show! Leana is a cam girl who also just recently journeyed into the world of porn - currently #65 and rising the charts on PornHub! We begin our conversation about her roots and upbringing in a religious household, being raised in a megachurch and how it lead to her hopping onto Chaturbate to explore her sexuality and sensuality. We then go into an in-depth conversation about how she's set herself up for success including what specific webcams she uses, the importance of lighting and microphones to create an intimate setting for all of her fans. She also shares an important PSA on toxic dildos (who knew about that?!) and of course, how she got into porn. We speak about her expectations before going into porn and the realities of it, how she feels about the industry and where she will continue to go from there. It's a fantastic conversation that shouldn't be missed, especially if you are thinking about going into camming or porn!

Friends, it's been a minute since we've had a bonus episode! Not since...2021, I think? As you know, all of my bonus episodes post-2022 are available up on my Patreon. However, it's summer and I thought I'd give you a little treat!

This week's episode was from my recent stint guest lecturing at Florida State University to their Human Sexuality class on the topic of Dissecting Sex Work: A Human Rights and Labour Issue. I guest lecture typically once in the spring semester and once in the fall and try to mix up the content depending on the class cohort. I have to say that this was such an engaging class who came armed with MANY great questions and brains filled with curiosity. Thank you Professor Alicia Armstrong for continuing to bring me on semester after semester to such an open-minded class. I have no doubt that this room will make some great therapists, counsellors and trauma-informed professionals in the industry.

For everyone else, please enjoy the episode and if you enjoy these types of talks, please consider joining my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/strippedbysia⁠

Enjoy this throwback episode to 2022 with Alison Rey! New episodes coming soon at the end of the summer.

Folks, I am so stoked to bring on this week's guest onto the show! If you haven't heard of Alison Rey, she is a longstanding adult performer and producer in the industry who will be giving us an insight on the porn industry. Alison shares with us her story on how she got into porn, having the choice to say no to scenes you don't want to do, challenging certain storylines in porn and how she went from performing to producing...and back to performing. She lays it all down for us this week in debunking some myths about squirting and performers using enhancements and gets real vulnerable with us in struggling with imposter syndrome, questioning what "ethical porn" really is and acknowledges just how fun filming cheesy porn is. It's a packed episode that really gives us insight on how the industry work from someone who has been both in front and behind the camera.

I've been so excited to record this fan-requested episode! Home ownership was always a goal of mine as a child and I'm stoked to share the passionate discussion with cam model, Izzi, who's also equally passionate about this conversation! I had plans to bring on a mortgage specialist onto the show for ethical responsibility but after going through 7 of them ghosting me or bailing out due to the pressure from financial institutions and banks, I decided to run this episode as it was long overdue and for Izzi's sake. So, for this conversation, we are specifically referring to the Canadian market but Izzi does provide some great tips and tricks where he's used his funds made from camming and sex work towards a downpayment for a home. He shares what has worked for him in terms of rebuilding his credit score, strategies for saving money and putting money aside, and where to go after your purchase your first home. It was a great conversation and Izzi does know his stuff! Of course, as sex workers, we do have additional unnecessary hurdles that we, as marginalized folks, have to go through for the banks to recognize our income and profession. We also acknowledge that for those who use SW as survival, that the idea of home ownership may not be a feasible goal and comes from a place of privilege. If you are interested in home ownership, do seek professional advice from a mortgage broker or specialist who can guide you on what's within your budget and how you can achieve that wherever you may reside.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of sexual assault at the 40 minute mark.***

A new topic on the podcast? Like, BRAND NEW. There is so much focus on domination and dominatrixes in our industry that it was finally time to shed some light on being a professional submissive. I speak to Stephanie Parent, a professional submissive who used to work in a commercial dungeon in Los Angeles. Stephanie shares with us how she got into being a submissive, learning the ropes (literally and figuratively) on the fly as her first entry point into the sex industry and into the world of BDSM. She describes her experience in working at the dungeon, goes over the interview process, going over safety measures, payment structure and more. Stephanie is also the author of the newly-released novel, which, in part, is also a fictional story based on her life, called The Briars. It was great to have Stephanie on the show to share her expertise on this part of the industry.

I've been enjoying learning about the legal brothel system in Nevada, the only place in the USA where Sex work is legalized. Having interviewed legal courtesans in the past, I thought I'd switch gears on this week's episode and interview a brothel owner instead. What are the hoops that is involved in ownership? How do you get a coveted license? I had the pleasure of interviewing Madam Bella Cummins of Bella's Hacienda Ranch in Wells, NV. Bella is the owner of one of the longest-running brothels in the state of NV. Bella's Hacienda Ranch is also the only sex worker-operated brothel in the state. After discussing her origins in how she landed her hands on the ranch, we also go through Bella's hiring process, how to ensure she hires and maintains the best people at her ranch, and how her ranch might differ from the many that lie in the state of NV. Bella and I also discuss her charity, the Onesta Foundation, in how it is dedicated to spreading awareness about legal brothels in NV.

As we all might know, pornography has been traditinally directed by men, produced by men, and consumed by men. With so many different categories and niches in porn coming out, why don't they cater to what women and queer folk actually want? I invite Electra Rayne, the founder of Queer Crush, onto the show this week to speak about this very topic. Electra is a content creator, director and talent in porn, and a legal courtesan in the state of Nevada. From early on, she knew that she had wanted to be in the industry in some capacity. Having danced as a stripper for a long time, Electra moved onto content creation and mainstream porn and has now found herself both in front but also behind the camera in her business venture, Queer Crush. Queer Crush started off as a lesbian sex toy site but quickly evolved into embracing and inviting folks to come on the platform and create real porn, like REAL porn. She takes real couples, talent who actually want to work with eachother to shoot in her studio in Nevada. Learn more about the platform by listening to the entire episode! Who knows, maybe you'll be on Queer Crush next!

Back on schedule and super excited to bring on my fellow PS: Group colleague, Sydney Screams, onto the show this week! Sydney is a plus-size content creator and has been in the biz for over a decade. She started off on the other side of the camera as a boudoir photographer until she decided to take the plunge and be the muse. From there, she grew her fanbase and continues to make niche fetish content like lipstick, vore and feet fetishes. Sydney also identifies as a plus-size model or BBW and shares with us the challenges and struggles she goes through compared to other "standard" bodied folks. She speaks about the mistreatment and underrepresentation of plus-size models amongst the adult industry and goes into detail about the double standards that they experience. Sydney is also an avid toy collector and works with many sex toy brands across the board. She closes out the episode with a few guidelines on what to look out for when sourcing a toy, what to avoid, safety precautions and what to look out for in a sex toy. Listen in!

Sorry for the 3-week delay! I am BACK this week forever since my wedding and mini moon are over and now I can finally get back to producing and recording episodes!

This week is all about longevity in the industry...but how do you go about doing it? I speak with Bobby St. James, a content creator, FSSWer, erotic masseuse, actor and YouTuber. He has been in the adult industry doing for 38 years - yes, you read that right - and I ask him what his secret is to being successful in our ever-evolving industry. As a person who has seen our industry grow over the years, Bobby deliberately thrusts himself into various sorts of sex work but also outside of sex work as well. The balance that he has been able to find along with his ability to adapt to the times has fed to his tenure in our industry. Bobby shares with us his humble origins growing up in the Bronx as a gay Latino man, his break into acting and erotic work, and how he's able to juggle it all.
