Netizens have applauded a woman who recently posted sex work as an experience on professional networking platform LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
US-based Arielle Egozi, with nearly 10,000 followers, was praised by internet users for her courage and breaking the taboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egozi shared that she “left an in-house job with fancy benefits two weeks ago and the reason I could do that was sex work”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sex work shows me what my power can do when i own it intentionally,” she said, adding “I set and hold boundaries, and engage only in ways that are safe, playful, and abundant for me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egozi said that because people have time and again stated that sex work is different from any “other client work”, she thought of putting it up as a profession on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Not only is my new standard for incoming creative clients that they be at least half as respectful, generous, and grateful as the John Does online – but that anyone who I partner with celebrates and accepts every experience as one I will inevitably bring with me into a project.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said she charges “exorbitant amounts” and also for the “emotional labour” and that she has “no problem taking rejections from those that don’t want to pay it”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One user said: “Why should “the dignity of a women” be restricted only to her body. It is ok for a person to sell his or her mind for money, but if a person sells his or her body it is morally corrupt. Is that not contradicting!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We talk about women’s rights in the context of abortion but we don’t see much talk about the right of a woman to use her body (physically or graphically) to earn income. As long as the woman is voluntarily using her body to earn income, I am good with it, even if the activity is related to sex. Her body, her choice,” added another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, some also criticised her post as acesomewhat tone deaf, self-absorbed and disingenuous due to “this ridiculous portrayal of prostitution as somehow liberating and empowering for a woman”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
