A different type of sex

[Jacaylbaro]

An ex Albanian sex worker and drug dealer living in Greece, defends her choices - injured husband, no papers, no insurance and a family to support. She goes on to give her take on who is selling what in the “business of sex” and NGOs that work with governments to maintain structures of domination and undermine grassroots organizing…

 

Now I consider sex for money a lot like nursing: it helps people whose lives are incomplete for all sorts of reasons.

 

It is not like sex for pleasure or love, it is a different type of sex. It’s a bit like the sex you have when you would prefer to sleep but your boyfriend wants sex, or when you like someone but not enough to have sex, but you feel sorry for them so you let them have sex. Or you want something from someone and they want sex so you arrange an unspoken contract for the exchange. Sex for money is more honest and direct. It was hard work, but not as hard as the farm work, and it paid much better.

 

Some women I know find the sex work soul destroying, but they also believed that women were second class people and sex for money made them unworthy of being wives. I couldn’t understand how eight minutes of sex, several times a day, should be the defining element of my spiritual identity.

 

Hmm those poor men with incomplete lives that need nursing - what stories do they tell? Where do I/we go if my life is incomplete for all sorts of reasons? I find empathy difficult in this case. BUT there are some uncomfortable truths in what she says regarding the hypocrisy and moralizing around the sex act.

Prostitution is the oldest profession known to man and legend has it Neanderthals used to pay piece of a flesh to get sexed and since then little have improved.
