Play Podcast    How To Be An Internet Whore

This is the podcast I've wanted to record ever since I started whorecast, a how-to on doing Internet-based sex work, covering the law, privacy, security, and the market. Now that I'm basically retired, I decided to open my private del.icio.us resources, turned off my Tor, and got down with the basics (and not-so-basics) of starting to advertise yourself as a sex worker on the web. This is me trying to mind the gap between PGP and GFE (not that you should ever, ever use that last one anywhere).

An Orgy of Meta

My partner, J, joins me to share his commentary on my listener mailbag -- the best (and craziest) of the year's email -- expounding over port and a smoke on the very first "whorecast," lazy overusage of the word "whore," the viciously awesome force of third wave feminists, efforts to find new words for polyamory, how to really be a good boyfriend to a stripper, the continuing question of how "fake" sex workers are on the job, and even tells us his favorite podcasts, all on this year-end self-referential orgy of meta.

Recorded more-or-less live from my last shift at the peep show, talking strippers and porn performers and the naked truth therein. A customer agrees to be podcasted! Clips played from Bedroom Radio and some pseudo-stripper-lovin' dude's podcast as he interviews a dancer. Righteous strip-und-drang, all in expensive lingerie.

Sex, Power, Money, God (whoresutra)

The meat of this podcast is a piece I keep changing the name of: Whoresutra, Doing and Undoing a Sacred Whore, Unruly Meditations on a Sacred Whore, etc. I also keep swapping out the sutras therein. These four cover whoring with your lover, the dot-bomb Tantra implosion, whores and the war on terror, and finding goddess in a leather sling. Strap-on's & "sacred spots" really figure in this one, for some reason. Seems to be one of the common denominators in all the sex work I've done: more and more men -- more than some would assume -- really just want to have their legs spread and be "opened to the mystery within," ahem.

Also, a smidge of commentary on the whole iTunes Music Store "porncast" phenom

Inspired by finding an old paper I had written, cut-up into pieces to slide up against Dsico's "Bumrush My Love" and what Manson described as "a glam rock Nuremberg rally" remix by Goldfrapp, wrapped around the hard middle of David Wojnarowicz's spoken word... give or take an orgasm, or two.
