#171 From Pleasure to Politics: Sex Work and Autonomy (with Pomma) - a podcast by Cam Fraser

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Pomma. Pomma does various forms of sex work and is a huge advocate for decriminalizing and destigmatizing sex work. They make educational content about sex workers’ rights in hopes to humanize sex workers and their needs to people and systems who commonly overlook sex workers. It’s very important to Pomma that sex workers’ voices are at the forefront of legislation and conversations that affect their lived realities since they’re often excluded. Pomma likes to keep their feminism and politics intersectional, because, at the end of the day, what affects them affects you, and affects all of us. When they’re not raising awareness about censorship or decriminalization, Pomma is crafting cosplays and traveling for conventions.

Key Points:

• Pomma introduces themselves


• The importance of sex work


• “Rights, not rescue”


• Purity fetish and the sex work heirarchy


• Decriminalization vs legalization


• SWERFs: Sex Work Exclusionary Radical Feminists


• Educating on social media
