Anais Nin wrote in her story, The Queen, from her book, Little Birds:

She was the very essence of the whore. Somehow in the whore the … womb, constantly subjected to desire, produces a phenomenon. All the eroticism comes to the surface. The constant living with a penis inside of one does something fascinating to a woman. The womb seems to be exposed, to be present in every aspect of her.  Somehow or other even the hair of whore seems impregnated with sex.”

I can only assume Anais knew intimately of what she wrote; this phenomenon creates a  sensual transformation on the deepest levels.  I highly recommend reading the rest of this story.

“Machinations” explores the pitfalls of setting up a doubles appointment for a client.  There’s often a multitude of emails and phone calls getting all the details in place, and locating another girl who agrees to the terms of the session and her fee.  A major pain, but the payoff is that the work is split in half and is often alotta fun.

Also, this week’s strip on Carnal Nation puts names to a few familiar characters who’ve appeared in the strip in the past.  Lucy approaches sex work from a holistic, tantric viewpoint, and like many of us, does sex work to support her various art projects.   Kaitlin is the prototypical college co-ed – young, pretty, and supplementing what her daddy doesn’t give her for various college expenses (clothes, partying, books, etc.)   In future strips, we’ll learn more about Rudy, an overweight yet in-your-face sex worker, and Barb, a sw who probably should have retired about 10 years ago, but never managed to put together either enough money to completely retire or amass any particular skill set to return to the general workforce.  Beauty fades, as do friendships, lovers and memories of a better time!  Enjoy this week’s strip

Here’s the latest Modern Hooker strip from Carnal Nation.

Definitely NOT unique to sex work, trust issues test the very fiber of our supposed sexual liberation in the context of both sex work and our relationships.    If I had testicles, I’ll rather tug on them with sharp tweezers  than deal with fucking relationship trust issues.   Right?    Here’s today’s Sunday comic.
