When We're Not Hustling: Sex Workers Talking About Everything But

In this episode of "When We're Not Hustling: The After-Party," hosts Jessie Sage, Emily Foster, and Melodie KG discuss their recent interview with Dominique Rystan. The conversation centers around the critique and premise of the show. Dominique's primary concern is about the extent to which sex workers — who are often public — should share their personal lives and how much of their existence becomes consumable content. The hosts reflect on this, discussing how they've navigated the balance between maintaining privacy and sharing parts of their lives with their audience.

The discussion also delves into the broader implications of sharing personal information in professional settings, comparing the dynamics in sex work to other professions. Both Jessie and Melodie talk about their experiences and how different aspects of their work, from GFE (Girlfriend Experience) to BDSM, require varying levels of intimacy and disclosure. Emily reflects on the idea of keeping some beautiful aspects of life private, inspired by Dominique's stance.

The conversation ultimately raises thought-provoking questions about authenticity, privacy, and the pressures of monetizing personal content, while also acknowledging the unique challenges sex workers face in maintaining a balance between their public and private selves.
