Recently I took on a “normal” job at Pizza Fusion, an up and coming eco-friendly and environmentally friendly pizza place. I took the job because it was near by, I could bike there and I do like the security of a regular paycheck, which is what a normal job will give you.

However,its normal jobs like these that have that have me running back to sex work as fast as I can. The pay sucks, the people suck and is it just me or does it seem like the less you get paid for a job the more you have to fight for that same pittance?

Although I love the food (its hard to mess up organics) and the overall theme and concept of the place, the work SUCKED! The owner was stingy and spoiled and one of those people of whom you could tell hasn’t been through any hard times. The manager ( a pig in Chinese astrology) was a complete shit talker about what we were doing and what I would make. Maybe I’m a bit biased because I’m used to living organics and environmentalism first hand instead of just working as a grunt for a green-washed corporation that claims to do so.

I think a lot of people have a big misconception about women in the sex industry that they work here because they aren’t capable of anything else. Although this may be the case with some, the truth is it pays well, its fun and it gives you a sense of self awareness like no other work I’ve ever engaged in. On a daily basis I am aware of where I’m at physically, emotionally and sexually.

Stripping gifted me with the opportunity to express myself through dance everyday while getting paid and the practice of talking (and then seducing) complete strangers; porn took me to Australia (twice) and introduced me to one of the most amazing circles of women I’ve ever met. There are many other things I’ve gained, but I’ll save that for another post.

Dear Goddess

I want to be able to work in this industry for as long as I can. I want to keep exposing people to sexuality whether thats through writing, erotic photos or lap dances. I want to always feel the fire and radiance of my root chakra. I want to commune with other women so that we can share our secrets, learnings and sex magick spells. When I grow old I want to be the cougar seducing and luring young bucks into her bedroom to teach them the ancient wisdom of a woman’s body.

Sex makes me feel alive in a core kind of way. I always want to feel like this.

Love, Sequoia

New Moon in Libra tomorrow, may this bring a month of balance and mental clarity.

ps. I wrote this post much more elegantly a few mins ago and somehow it disappeared so I had to rewrite the whole thing again off the top of my head. Sorry if it sounds a bit scattered, I swear it flowed better the first time
