'Someone You Love Is a S-x Worker' | Stripping Away Stigma with VICTORIA ROSE

Ferrero Rochelle & Rosie Verbose had a fascinating time chatting to burlesque performer, Hoxton Cabaret producer & founding member of Cybertease (a pioneering online strip club), Victoria Rose! She shares some of her experiences of how mental health, creativity and s-x work all intertwine (sorry about the censorship, blame the Internet 🙇‍♀️). We're so grateful Victoria took the time to educate us on what it's like working in the s-x industry in general, and particularly her perspective on being a SWer with Borderline Personality Disorder. Find Victoria Rose online on Instagram, Twitter & OF.

There's also some coarse language from the start. *** Things mentioned in the podcast: The Jerry Springer Show  Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) / Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) - for more on this, have a listen to our chats with Lucy Dickson and our very own Mouncealot!
