1 year into selling sex I met a woman in the worst state I ever saw any seller in. Early 20s, addicted to heroin, 4 children & still recovering postpartum. She had hemorrhoids the size of large grapes due to anal prolapse & would push them back inside herself to see sex buyers.

She’d go into the washroom to inject, and then nod off on the staff room couch. When her “clients” would arrive she’d incoherently stumble into a room with them. It was incredibly hard to watch. This was all licensed by @CityofEdmonton too because “sex work is work”.

The next studio I moved to had a woman blacked out on the couch w/ blood dripping from her feet after injecting there.

I thought my studio would be different but I saw women develop addictions then too.

Where are these wonderful/safe/happy brothels that people claim exist??!
