As if you…

             As if you…

So, you smile

As if you liked me

But you do not

You seemed so sexy

As if you were seducing me

But you do not

You were just showing

The good merchandise you sell

You touched my waist and struggled me strongly

As if you wished me

But obviously you do not

Finally you joined your lips with mine

As if our love would never end

But immediately you disappeared

Like a sex worker sexy power angel

And just like that

You forgot me

As if I would not

Have existed ever

Well, I DO

Working Hearts: Blog for Sex Workers and their Partners about Unpaid Realtionships

Hey all,

Consider this your official invitation to Working Hearts: www.workingheart.blogspot.com,

the blog I recently started to create conversation and support for sex workers and their personal partners around sex workers’ unpaid love/sex relationships.

I would absolutely love it if any of you wanted to write a blog post, please just send me an email and write “post starts here:” right before the part you want me to publish.

Currently the blog has a few posts from a couple of different people and some informal polls, the current poll is about trying to leave the industry and the factors behind the decision to leave.

Partners are also welcome to post, eventually I will probably create a separate site for partners, but for now I’d love this to be a place to discuss opinions and experiences around relationships, answer each other questions and help support each other around this important topic that to me seems crucial to our health and quality of life as a community.

Audacia Ray interviewed me about Working Hearts for her Village Voice blog  Naked City in the interview series Four on the Floor, if you’d like to read more about why I’m doing this and what my thoughts are on the subject, check it out.
