We work with a lot of sex workers from the adult entertainment industry and we were recently introduced to a really nice and informative book about sex work & staying sane in the industry. I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in educating themselves about the industry, or to anyone who’s curious about the topic: “Thriving In Sex Work” by Lola Davina
Let me know if you have suggestions for similar books. We often write sexual wellness blogs on our website and we’d love to use them as reference / inspiration.
