Whorephobia : the fear and / or hatred of sex workers
Miss Audrey Brynn talks about dispelling the myths of female dominance , modesty and embracing what She really is : a filthy pervert ...
Whoreriachy : a portmanteau word ( two words put together ), in this case : ‘ whore ’ and ‘ hierarchy ’. This can relate to sex workers who engage in certain areas of sex work where nudity isn ’ t always expected by clients ( i . e sugaring , online sex work or pro-domination ) gatekeeping , insulting , harassing or even abusing other sex workers who offer more ‘ explicit ’ forms of sex work such as pro-domination including nudity , FSSW ( full service sex work ), PSE ( porn star experience ), pro submission , survival sex work .
My first brush with inter-industry whorephobia was when I was attending my first Klub Verboten as a new domme on the scene . My KV membership was approved , meaning that I could meet some of the other dommes that I really admired , I couldn ’ t have been more excited . I walked into the members room full of adrenaline and a sense of belonging . I felt so lucky to be in a room full of other women who were like me - or so I thought . I was fondly telling another domme ( who I will not be naming ) about a session that I had done recently , one that I was very proud of , to which she replied in horror : “ YOU LET YOUR SUBS TOUCH YOU ? Oh my GOD . I could NEVER .” I paused , in absolute shock at the ease and sharpness of which this whorephobia jumped out of her mouth . After all , she ’ s a sex worker ( SWer ) too , just as I am , why does it offend her so much that I ‘ let ’ my submissives touch me ? It is also worth saying that any time a submissive touches me it has been guided by me , so why is this so awful ? I didn ’ t have an answer to this question then , but I think I do now .
I have had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing SWers since I started working full-time almost two years ago at the time of writing . The reason why
I personally think they are amazing is because they are all completely different , and I don ’ t mean with what they wear or how they look . I am talking about different skill sets , different domination styles , come from different backgrounds , hold different beliefs and opinions ( drawing the line at any phobic attitudes obviously ). What I haven ’ t thought is so amazing is the way some other SWers think that their way of working is the sole right way , and that anyone who strays from their way of doing things is doing it wrong . I feel as if I need to state this now : I personally believe people should do what they want with their bodies . I do not have anything against workers who choose to NOT offer nudity in their sessions . I have issues with those who tell me I am not doing my job ‘ right ’, that I am not dominant , ridicule me , try to put labels on me , all because I offer nudity in my sessions , which is down to personal choice by the way , not down to my submissive .
