BARE Vol. 1 (Digital Download)

"Where do sex workers come from?” This question is frequently asked but most often answered by lawmakers and moralists too far removed from the reality of the work. BARE, a new literary journal dedicated to uplifting sex worker voices, steps in to emancipate this question from those ill-equipped to answer it.

Fifteen origin stories, vivid with detail and rich with humanity, are gathered here to reveal the diversity of motivation, aspiration, and experience, shared among those taking their first steps into the world of erotic labor.
