00:00How old were you when you decided to get into the industry?
00:0418.
00:04Yeah.
00:05So some people do believe that like 18 is too young.
00:09How do you feel about that?
00:10I didn't have a choice.
00:12I didn't really have a lot of options and I didn't have a lot of resources.
00:18And I come from Las Vegas.
00:21And so I always knew about sex work and I weighed out my options and I had a job and
00:27I lived with someone, but at the time it wasn't sufficient and it really didn't make sense.
00:34And so I started off with escorting.
00:37Can we talk about that?
00:38Of course.
00:38Okay.
00:39Yeah, yeah.
00:39Because some people do not want to talk.
00:41Oh, no, we talk about it all the time.
00:42Okay.
00:42So I started off escorting.
00:44Because it's like nothing to be ashamed about.
00:45I love it.
00:46And I think that it's so important to like relay that message.
00:49Like sex work is work and like full service sex work is I think like a very legitimate
00:54and valid form of sex work and a form of therapy and yeah.
00:59So I started transitioning around the same time when I started sex work.
01:07I didn't really have a lot of options.
01:10I didn't have a lot of resources.
01:11So I would like, you know, like post on different websites and things to that nature.
01:15Um, saved my money, invested a little bit into myself, um, ended up meeting a boyfriend
01:23and I stayed with him for a long, long time.
01:27And then we broke up.
01:28Then I had to like upgrade my sex work life.
01:33But initially like getting into sex work, I had no choice.
01:36I really didn't know what I was going to do.
01:37And I needed to survive like that night, like literally needed to find somewhere to sleep
01:43because I didn't really have like an option.
01:45And so like I posted my first experience, I think is why I kind of got into it.
01:50Like the, they say that the quick money could really suck you in.
01:54So I posted like an ad.
01:55I won't, I won't mention the website.
01:58It's not even around anymore, but I posted an ad on a website and I was able to meet a
02:03guy in Miami who sent, in my job, 18.
02:06So he sent me and my friends or he sent me, my friends were with me.
02:10He sent me like some money because I told him my situation.
02:13He sent me money.
02:13And I was like, so shocked by how much money he sent me that, um, me and my friends went
02:18out to eat.
02:19I was really young.
02:20So I didn't, it's so foolish now that I think about it.
02:25Like we're like literally homeless and some random guy sends me money to like be okay.
02:29And we went to the Palms buffet.
02:31It was so funny.
02:33And so, and I paid for them because I'm like a generous person.
02:36So I wanted to like have a good time.
02:39I was like, we have money.
02:40We've been struggling.
02:41Let's go to the Palms buffet.
02:42So we did that.
02:43And I was like, oh shit.
02:45I didn't anticipate it being so much.
02:47He only sent so much.
02:48Now we don't have anything.
02:50And then I hit him up again.
02:51I was like, um, daddy, Steve, um, this is so long ago.
02:55That doesn't matter.
02:56But I was like, daddy, Steve, um.
02:58Did you tell him that you spent it at the Palms buffet?
02:59I just had the Palms buffet.
03:01I, I was very manipulative.
03:03So one of the things about me in the beginning of my sex work journey was my, I was kind of manipulative.
03:09Now that I've grown and I've gotten older, um, it's better for it to be an even exchange.
03:14If you really want to build something or take something out of it.
03:18Um, playing games with people's time, playing games with people, you usually don't keep any of the things that you accumulate.
03:25Yeah.
03:25But when you start to do things from a genuine perspective, that's when you can start building.
03:32Like with, with, like with any other industry, you don't, you don't play games with sex work or it's going to play games with you.
03:38So I did not tell him what I did, but I told him that I needed more and he sent me more and we got a hotel room for a couple of days.
03:45And then I guess I was like kind of hooked.
03:47So I'd never had the opportunity to even weigh out if there was other opportunities for me.
03:51I kind of just got into sex work.
03:53Yeah.
03:53And then, um, cause I was young, I was 18, of course, mentally it fucked with me a lot.
03:58And so that's when I like retreated back to my family, which I love my family.
04:02Um, we don't always see eye to eye.
04:05So I think it was like a cultural shock to go from being a sex worker to like being with my family.
04:09And my family's really tough on me.
04:12They want me to figure it out on my own.
04:13They'll, they'll, they'll provide me with some support, but they want me to figure things out on my own.
04:17And I just kept like, um, struggling between like the struggle that I'm dealing with and knowing that I can just go back into sex work.
04:24And so I did go back into sex work.
04:26And, um, when I went back into sex work, I told myself this time I'm going to take it seriously.
04:31And so I did.
04:33And I haven't had a real job in a decade.
04:38Well, you know, that's what people always say.
04:40Like, um, when it comes to sex work, get a real job.
04:43Like there's a lot of stuff that goes into sex work.
04:45Like you have to produce, you have to distribute, you have to market, you have to, you don't always have money to like get your hair done and, um, do your makeup.
04:54So there's a lot of investing and time that goes into sex work.
04:58It's not just propping up a camera and I'm hot.
05:00I'm going to stroke it.
05:02I'm going to come and you're going to love me.
05:04I mean, it's that, but as you build yourself up, it's like, you want more from you.
05:08Yeah.
05:08You have to present yourself in a way that people want to see that.
05:11Well, yeah, there's a lot of girls that are doing the same thing you're doing on a very high quality level.
05:17So if you want to be considered, then you need to make sure that you're doing it the exact same way or better.
