Over the course of five years, Esther has been a stripper, webcam model, phone sex operator and professional dominatrix and in this video she explains why she has chosen to identify as a "sex worker". She also introduces a couple of terms some people may not have come across, including "the whorearchy" and "erotic capital" and talks about the stigma around sex work.
