Sex Worker Socials
Tonight was a bittersweet night for many of us sex workers here in town. Mistress Minax, who had been hosting monthly sex worker socials at her lovely home in Chicago, has decided to end her run and we had our last party/social, complete with grab bag gift giveaway. it was so wonderful and I will miss these events that i have been going to for over a year.
The sex industry can be a lonely place. Oftentimes you have to keep your work a secret from most of your family and friends and have very few people to talk to about life on the job. Early on when I started escorting I had almost nobody to talk to except for other girls I would meet working for agencies on two- girl calls or the women who answered the phones for the agencies I worked for. I was invited to these socials in 2006 by my friend Jack from Libido Films and I immediately became a regualr. I enjoyed meeting different people from various areas of the sex industry and sharing ideas, opinions, or just talking. The socials made me be proud to be a sex worker and socialize with such interesting people. Each month I would try to bring a new friend along to the socials, hoping they would enjoy the experience as much as I had.
Sadly, Minax's schedules have gotten too hectic as of late, so she no longer has time to host people in her house each month. A few of us regulars have promised to keep them going at our own residences, but I suspect it won't be the same. I'll miss talking and drinking wine with all the kinky folks each month, but I'm grateful that these socials existed in the first place. It's a shame that every city doesn't have them.
So if you are a sex worker and know of others in your town, do it grassroots style and start having monthly get togethers. You'll be amazed at the people you meet and eventually, they'll become your family.
