Summer Issue 2022 no. 6 Sex Work is REAL Work

Welcome back lovers. This season Last Girls Club explores sex work, the pitfalls, the legalities, and the joy that can be found in a job well done. Imagine a world where instead of a culture of exploitation and criminalization, sex trade would be exactly that: a trade of services for money, without legal or moral censure. Workers could unionize, have health insurance, and full autonomy of their own bodies. Persecution by sexually repressed institutions and individuals could be prosecuted by the law and provide protection for the sex workers. Assault and murder would no longer be considered acceptable outcomes of "risky lifestyles". Serial killers would no longer have open hunting grounds on our streets of individuals that law enforcement ignores. Sex education would lose its taboo nature and humans could become informed about their bodies and celebrate their desires in safe environments with trained individuals to guide them. Incels would realize they have outlets to build their self-esteem and feel seen. The social ripples of this new way of thinking in the paradigm could change the world in ways we can't even imagine, if we only weren't too scared to try. Well, here at the Last Girls Club, we aren't scared to dream crazy dreams and try new things. Jump in. Let's get weird. Thank you for sticking with us. See you in the Fall. And as always, may the shadows embrace you and the monsters fear you more.
