My whole purpose is to bring what's hidden out in the open so people can look at it and discuss it. And sexually oriented material is very important to study in an academic setting. Controversy is part of the fun.

Feel free to cover your eyes at anything that might upset you

I've been putting out sexually explicit images of myself for years. I know this sounds bizarre, but somehow it makes me feel safer.

Some men can be very rude. On the other hand, some clients are absolute angels. One john always brought me a gift every time he came to see me. He brought me a pearl necklace, a ring, a bra or something. But eventually, as much as I really loved all the gifts, he fell in love with me, and he tried to weasel his way into my life. It was too much and I sort of had to 'break up with him."

I don't think being obsessed with sex is any stranger than being obsessed with stamp collecting.

A lot of women I worked with didn't respect their clients. I had some clients who didn't respect me, but still you somehow made it work.

Sex is normal and natural, and we've made it abnormal and unnatural.
