Sex Workers News

One of the reasons we started this site was to give adult workers of all ages, shapes and sizes more choices and a cheap platform for advertising..... It's FREE to add a profile. The views expressed here are taken from various sources and are here to provoke thought and raise awareness for Adult Industry Workers and Their Clients

We also wish to raise awareness that if you are working in the adult industry or using the services of adult industry workers there are some very disturbing issues and a developing underclass particularly in trafficking. This page is for some articles and links that we feel are interesting (and hope you do too). Anyone who wishes to submit a constructive link that you feel our members would be interested to read then please go ahead and will will consider posting it on these pages.
