Welcome To Episode 40 of Your Story.
Although only 21, Grace has had a lifetime of experiences as a sex worker in the few short years since she started at only 17 years of age.
As a prostitute she has worked both in brothels and independent as an escort. Now out of the sex industry and for someone of such a young age she already has and shares a fascinating and mature insight into her motivations of how the industry is for a working girl.
What is amazing and wonderful in this story is how genuinely proud Grace is of her work, who she has touched and the good that she has participated in with the people she has meet through being involved in the sex industry. Both with the clients and the other girls she worked with.
She has from the very beginning come into the industry as a professional wanting to be there for the work and lifestyle and not as is the cliche of being a damaged individual who resorts to compromising herself. In fact, the exact opposite. She came to the Industry from a place of surety and confidence and maintained that during her time there.
She explains that the strong and negative societal prejudice against sex workers is unfair and that a great deal of good comes from the Sex Industry for the community. The Sex Industry is one of the places where a form of help and healing for many people in society is available that is unfortunately, at present, unavailable for other systems to ameliorate.
If you wish to contact Grace email me and I’ll pass it on.

great work Ian. Very thought provoking. I think it shows how stereotypes are almost always false. I’ll be passing this on to more people as I think it opens up healthy conversation around sexual dysfunction amongst other topics.
What an interesting peer into a life an industry that is so timeless and understood. Very informative and well done Ian.

A very entertaining and informative edition there Ian. I’m somebody who is on the otherside of the ledger as it were. Grace was right on the money.
Great work.
