“For me and so many others, sex work meant freedom.” These are the words of Lucky, a 21-year-old sex worker from the US with chronic pain and a long-term physical illness.
Lucky, who identifies as non-binary, realised at a young age that having a regular nine-to-five job wouldn’t be sustainable for them. So, at the age of 18, they started producing and selling pornographic content as a way to make a living.
“I learned early on that having to do regular jobs for a minimum of 40 hours a week made both sets of my disabilities so much more painful, and even caused new conditions,” Lucky said.
