Description: In this bold and eye-opening episode of the Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with Annie for an honest and deeply human conversation about sex work, intimacy, and challenging societal misconceptions. Annie, a proud massage goddess and advocate for the global sex workers community, shares her perspective on the meaningful and often misunderstood role sex workers play in people’s lives. Together, she and Eve explore how sex work can provide not just physical connection, but emotional intimacy, presence, and healing for clients who may otherwise feel isolated or unseen. This conversation also challenges the idea that monogamy is the only valid relationship structure. Eve and Annie discuss how expanding our understanding of connection and intimacy can reduce shame and open up more honest, consensual ways of meeting human needs. Annie speaks candidly about her own experiences, her most intimate relationships, and her mission to destigmatize sex work through education, compassion, and advocacy. This episode invites listeners to move beyond judgment and into a more nuanced understanding of intimacy, connection, and choice. This is a powerful, perspective-shifting conversation about respect, autonomy, and the many ways humans seek and experience connection.
