Acerca de esta escucha
Sex work is "easy money?" Hardly. The adult industry is riddled with pitfalls and dangers. Erotic labor is often emotionally demanding, draining, and complex. It can be hard to know who to turn to for advice on keeping yourself safe and sane. Lola Davina, former stripper, dominatrix, porn actress, and escort, provides the life skills you need to prosper, including:
- Cultivating friendships, community, and romance
- Mastering money
- Debunking sex industry myths such as: you have to be flawless, or clients hate to hear "no"
- Avoiding trigger states, like loneliness, fatigue, boredom, anxiety and depression, that lead to bad decision-making and burnout
- Surviving bad calls, shifts, and shoots...and so much more!
Thriving in sex work means having a healthy body, mind, heart, and bank account. No matter your job title or gender, whether you're independent or work for someone else, if you want to succeed in sex work, this book is for you.

Historia
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Historia
Imagine a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize - and enjoy - control. This is the quickly-mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) - and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Popular podcaster and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert has traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture. In Bow Down, these Alpha women show how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want.

Historia
Why isn't your love life where you want it to be? Are you going to point fingers at the quality of today's men, blame the city that you live in, or come up with the defense that you don't have the energy to date? You pretend to be working on yourself, but you secretly hope and wish that Prince Charming will fall in your lap. You make the excuse that it's not you, it's the men, but there is something inside of you that knows the common denominator in all of your failed relationships was you!

"When it comes to dating, I seem to be going around in a circle. The ones I want don't want me, and the ones who want me, I don't want." (Amelia). I don’t know, I just think there’s too much miscommunication between guys and girls. I mean, no one knows what the fuck is going on. We need to have the discussion. We need to vent it and get it out in the open,” I said, grabbing my drink from the bedside table.

Historia
In her work with countless powerful, successful women over the last 20 years, best-selling author and financial educator Barbara Stanny found that most women's problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather their fear of or ambivalence toward power. Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in the traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective.

I use people. Not in a malicious way, but in the way an addict abuses their substance of choice. People are my vice - men specifically. I crave the emotional high they give me, with a unique and reckless disregard for my own well-being - eagerly floating into an unsustainable euphoria, knowing full well that after every high comes an equal, if not more powerful, plummet into a devastating abyss. But like every junkie, I crawl willingly back into the arms of my demons.

Very different from the others in a good way
This book is very different than the ones who are suggested below it on Audible.
This book is written by an intellectual who is smart, decent, down-to-earth, non-judgemental who happens to be an ex-sex worker.
Don't get me wrong. She is not like the ones who try to convince you the industry is bad either.
I mean it's definitely like the superficial ones who call themselves sugababe or a heaux.
OK, I'm not doing a very good job describing it :) just give it a try. Your mental health will thank you.
And thank you Lola. You helped me. You really did.

Something to relate to
I like listening to these stories and pieces of advice because as a SW, people don't really talk about all aspects of the life. Somebody needs to say it and here it is. It's all very true and is helping me get by mentally and emotionally.

Thank You Lola We Love You
Yes, I am a sex worker. I am proud of who I am and what I do. However, it can be very lonely. The stigma we face can put us in terribly violent, scary and isolating situations.
Lola is our Patron Saint. She never forgets to tell us that we are human. We are loved. We deserve respect. She is held in such high regard in our community.
Here I am running late for an appointment. Listening to Lola tell stories that I have lived. I feel like we are engaging in a private conversation. Just for me.
I suggest purchasing the audio version. You won’t regret it.

Interesting listen
I got this book because I wanted to know in more detail what sex workers had to deal with. A lot of this was common sense and things I’ve heard from interviews, but I feel like it would be a great resource for the target audience: sex workers new to the field. Pretty cool listen!

A must listen for anyone curious about the 'biz'
Almost anyone you know could be a sex worker. Lola is the perfect representation of an intelligent, multi-skilled and highly functioning human being who brings to light her experience in the adult industry. If you are a sex worker, you MUST take note of her advice. If you know someone who is a sex worker or have simply enjoyed adult content in its various forms, you will leave with a greater respect and understanding of the wonderful people in the industry.

Upfront, Humanizing and Compassionate
Sex workers are human beings and deserve the protection of the law, safe places to work, and the dignity and respect afforded other people who labor to make ends meet, not harassment and isolation. Having dated several women who have worked in the sex industry, I looked at them and saw a beautiful lady, and nothing less.

Such a Necessary Read & Re-Read for Any Sex Worker
Lola did an incredible job with this piece! Not only is her voice very relaxing, but her calm way of communicating the importance of safety, saving money, & self care would make any sex worker looking for support feel as if they truly have someone in their corner when reading this book!
Lola's message was very clearly and calmly communicated and I enjoyed every minute so much so that I decided to read the book again. In the process, I discovered what a GEM chapter 48 is and listened to that over and over. It's a chapter where Lola goes into detail about the psychology of boundary-pushers and how to make your boundaries clear safely and sweetly. That was one area that I particularly have been struggling with in my journey!
Thank you, Lola, so much for writing this book- it is wonderful!
