So this week we're discussing good sex and why it matters. Our mantra? Owning your sexual pleasure is power. When attempting to sell sex online, one must walk a tightrope between being suggestive and not being so explicit as to signal blatant illegal activity. I grabbed the money and quickly shoved it into my purse, my heartbeat racing.

Lovely Brown, an escort for hire, was officially born. Independence has always been important to me. When I moved away from my family at 18, it was like breathing fresh air for the first time.
After years of reflection, I now understand my childhood and adolescence to be toxic and dysfunctional, but at the time I just knew I wanted to get out. When I fell behind on my rent in my second year of college, going back home, or even asking for help, was not an option.
I was living in the San Francisco Bay Areaโa sex-positive place with a history steeped in sexual taboo. It was an eye-opening experience. Several of my classmates at the college I was attending were escorts or peep show dancers, and they made their line of work sound empowering and financially lucrative.
