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

It's a pity that there's such a negative connotation about paying for sex.

I had many clients who didn't respect me, probably because of how they were raised. We're all the walking wounded.

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

There have been times where I have definitely felt like I was a john. As a pin-up photographer for ten years, when I was photographing men and women, to be honest, sometimes I felt like I was a john, especially when I was shooting guys because they - you know - they had to have big erections in the photos.

My johns adored and worshipped me, therefore they empowered me. When I was 18, 19, and 20, I had a poor self-image and needed attention. It's hard for people who haven't been prostitutes to imagine, but I think it's often true. There can be a very symbiotic relationship happening.

Whores have the ability to put up with behaviors other women would never manage to put up with. That's why we deserve to be generously compensated.
