Though the idea of being an asexual sex worker seems contradictory, in this episode Signora Justina di Silvestri and I explore what it means to be a woman who embraces this persona. We discuss patrons, gender identity, sexuality, consent and more. Then we ask the really important questions: What kind of garb should Tom Hiddleston wear? Would you have sex with him? 😉

Still curious? Here’s an article about what it’s like to be an asexual sex worker. This article is written by Kitty Stryker, notable activist and writer on consent culture, sex work, and feminism.
