Episode 9 | Fatphobia and fetishism with Jessie Sage

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my time in the sex industry, it’s that sexual attraction is diverse and sex workers come in all shapes and sizes! Unfortunately, society’s ‘fear of fat’ can cause stress, shame, and awkwardness for workers and clients alike. Jessie Sage joins us again in this episode to unpack fatphobia and to stand up for you, if you’re a fan of ‘fat’ too.
