Thriving in Sex Work: Heartfelt Advice for Staying Sane in the Sex Industry

by Lola Davina

A self-help book for sex workers.
Sex work is “easy money?” Hardly. The adult industry is riddled with pitfalls and dangers. Erotic labor is often emotionally demanding, draining, and complex. It can be hard to know who to turn to for advice on keeping yourself safe and sane. Lola Davina, former stripper, dominatrix, porn actress and escort, provides the life skills you need to prosper:
· Shattering myths, such as thinking you need the “perfect” body
· Creating financial freedom so you only work when you want to
· Avoiding bad behavior, bad decisions, and burnout
· Cultivating boundaries in an often insane industry
· Learning to love your work!

Thriving in sex work means having a healthy body, mind, heart, and bank account. No matter your job title or gender, whether you’re independent or work for someone else, if you want to succeed in sex work, this book is for you.

“I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Lola Davina brings the insight, advice and compassion that only a centered, wise, experienced sex work veteran can cultivate and gather: her insider knowledge makes this book a powerful ally to any sex worker who wants a better life. Fierce, smart, pragmatic and loving — I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

[Morgan Dax · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is everything I needed as a 22-year-old, starting out in what would become a decade long career in stripping.
If I'd had the wisdom and guidance of this book in my 20s, I'd be in a LOT better shape now (financially, emotionally, and probably physically too) than I currently am at 35.

It was still a great read though and I got a ton of validation and understanding that I didn't even know I needed from someone who genuinely understands and who has come out the other side sane and safe.
The sex industry sucks in young, vulnerable, desperate, or gullible people, with the promise of financial stability or freedom, but instead it often just chews them up and spits them out, used up and worn out. This book is the training manual we all need when starting out in the "biz" because nobody trains you or tells you how to stay safe...you get tossed into a shark tank and you either sink or swim. Too many sex workers sink (into alcoholism, drugs, unhealthy lifestyles, or worse) due to lack of support or societal understanding. This book is the antidote to that.

My only real complaint is that there was no specific mention about disability, or mental health struggles. A ton of sex workers are disabled and find sex work the only way they can support themselves. But perhaps that was on purpose to not scare certain readers away.
As someone with several, sometimes debilitating mental health diagnoses, I would very much have appreciated a small chapter dedicated to how to navigate the world of sex work when you're only partially functional and don't have any support.

That aside, I highly recommend this to any and all kinds of sex workers. Or anyone who wants to better understand them. *Love*

This is a book about wielding your sexual power and earning money with it unapologetically, and it offers all the heartfelt, streetwise wisdom you want from a mentor in any profession.

Lola does not candy-coat the experience of the sex industry, but she does not judge, demonize, or victimize sex workers either. To say her tone is nonjudgmental is an understatement. She doesn’t just avoid slut shaming; she challenges it head-on and offers sex workers thoughtful, well-reasoned encouragement and support.

And also, Lola has done her homework. Earning her M.A. in Human Sexuality Studies and M.S. in Nonprofit Fundraising obviously taught her an appreciation for solid research. She brings her own vast experience in the industry, but she also presents serious, well-documented structures and solutions from disciplines ranging from philosophy and psychology to business and marketing. That said, she writes in an approachable, girlfriend-y voice that makes you feel like she wrote this book just for you.

*Please note: Often, my book reviews read a little more like love letters. I know that and post my thoughts among the other book reviews on Amazon and GoodReads anyway. Lola is a friend and client. I had the pleasure of reading some of this book in draft form and involvement in the project in its final stages.*

I'm not a sex worker, so I can't say how fitting this book actually is to those in the lifestyle. That said, I found the book very interesting, and a lot of the tips and tricks talked about can easily translate into what the author called ''straight life''.

It also does a good job of humanizing sex workers, and giving a new POV to those - like me - who grew up with the Nordic Model, where all sex workers are described as needing rescue. Either from a pimp, or from their own bad choices. But the fact is, a lot of people chose to become sex workers, and are Safe, Sane, and Consensual - what kinksters refer to as SSC, one of the pillars of healthy kink - in doing so.

I think a lot of people could benefit from reading this book, if only to become better humans themselves.

[Olivia Sapian · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't care if you are just curious about sex work, an old pro, or just thinking of starting in sex work yourself, this is the book for you.

Well written and so engaging. I usually can't stand non-fiction/self help books. Seriously look at my bookshelf here, its all paranormal smut books. This book had me engaged and hooked throughout. An absolute pleasure to read.

Im not going to lie, it gets heavy. One of the exercises literally had me broke down sobbing like a punk, but I needed it to finally move past it. This book does not pull punches.

I can't recommend it enough.

Do buy a hard copy because you will be coming back to this book again and again, you will want to be able to highlight and dog ear to have these great resources at your fingertips.

READ IT!!

[Pedro L. Fragoso · Rating 4 out of 5]

“We focus so much on money, but for many of us, freedom is what we truly crave. Don’t get caught up on job titles or meeting other people’s expectations. Give yourself permission to find a work mix that works for you.”

“You are truly thriving in sex work when: sex work exceeds your expectations, and your life is better than when you started. Most days, in most ways, erotic adventure, great clients, good money and a general sense of well-being characterize your life. Borrowing from Margaret Cho, former pro dom and phone sex operator: Loving yourself and living fully as a sex worker is a gorgeous act of radical rebellion.”

I grew up reading Heinlein (“It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of plumbers and much higher than that of lawyers. And enormously higher than that of professors.”; also: “Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.” More than one decade ago (maybe make that 2 decades?) I found Maggie McNeill (“(…) this blog is in no way a confession. That would imply feelings of guilt, of which I have none. Somehow, neither my mother nor the nuns who taught me ever managed to instill in this little Catholic girl any sense that sex is dirty, bad, wrong or otherwise distasteful, and without that unhealthy concept imbedded in one’s psyche prostitution is no different from any other service one might perform for hire.”) who I consider probably the best (and most relevant) English language essayist alive. Also, Brooke Magnanti who I have been following since she was outed, has been proving to be a stellar literary stylist, an important (maybe even the most important) chronicler of the working-class condition in the American zeitgeist (I would say she is probably on par with Richard Sennett) and a humanist of the caliber of Rosa Montero, say. So, these people did inform my fundamental opinions and beliefs, and fascination, on the subject of “sex work” and its practitioners.

The basic tenet at play is the concept of this line of professional activities as something that even if still spurned by society at large (as other concepts and principles once were), should nonetheless be considered a vindication of personal freedom and responsibility, a manifestation of full ownership over one’s body (which is especially relevant on the case of women, for historical reasons), and of agency. However, any discussion is poisoned as a rule, from the start, with prejudice, societal constraints, and morally justified approaches, namely religious.

Reading this book, I was remembered of the review in the New York Times of a little movie of 2012 (I do not recall much of the movie, but the review did stay with me), that thanks to DuckDuckGo I managed to find again. The movie is called “About Cherry” and it has something (or everything? I don’t remember) to do with porn actors (or “performers”). Whom the movie treats as “normal” human beings, striving with “normal” human and work relations, and working on a somewhat “normal” work environment. The reviewer couldn’t handle it: “This depiction of a pornographic studio portrays the actors and producers as a supportive pseudofamily in a world that seems more stable and nourishing than Angelina’s dead-end existence working in a Laundromat and living with an alcoholic mother. (…) The fatal flaw of this well-acted movie, whose creators (the director Stephen Elliott and his screenwriting collaborator, Lorelei Lee) are sex industry veterans, is its refusal to examine Angelina’s occupation from outside the bubble. You might even call it a recruitment film.” For the movie to be taken seriously, they should have been portrayed as miserable people living a miserable existence…

Sex workers probably need more of a self-help guide that any other professional career out there, and only a professional of the field could strive for a serious, honest, relevant (as in no-bullshit) effort. My evaluation, which obviously is of no weight, is that Lola Davina did excellent work, balancing practicalities with spirituality and the right dosage of feel-good advice, to achieve a balanced guide that should be of consequence for her intended audience.

“Supposedly sex work is “easy money,” but as long as our society remains hung up about money and sex, it’s going to be hard work. Most people might think of sex work as a physical grind, but usually it’s not especially challenging. Besides, most job titles require our bodies do things they don’t want to do, whether it’s cutting hair, writing code, or mining coal. No, the toll sex work takes, the heavy lifting it requires, is emotional. Our job is managing stress, anxiety, anguish, loneliness, lust, and rage—other people’s and our own. Emotional labor can be defined as the effort workers put into checking their emotional reactions within a professionally acceptable range. In sex work, that expands to account for a sex worker’s responsibility for the positive emotional state of their clients, as well. That makes for a whole lot of crazy, no way around it. Let’s start with the fact that sex work can be intoxicating—after all, we’re selling pleasure. Our job is to dress up naughty, strip down naked, and talk dirty. We experience the rush of turning people on. For many of us, the fast money and easy sensuality can make the normal world seem deadly dull. At the same time, while we’re in that exposed, unsettled state, we navigate weirdness, negativity, and potential violence. Our workplaces are unnatural, time bending, and boundary-warping. Dungeons, strip clubs, and brothels are soaked in drugs, alcohol, loud music, and bad behavior. We face hypocrisy, bigotry, and slut-shaming on a daily basis. We’re casualties of our culture’s warped ideas about beauty and pleasure and fantasy, and what they’re “worth.” Most of us don’t get much support, living in secrecy and silence with few role models. It can be hard to find people to talk to who can fully relate. No question, sex work can be scary, disgusting, lonely, shaming, and thankless. Well, that is just not okay.”

“I believe blanket exploitation arguments are misguided. Sex work doesn’t inherently harm, degrade, or otherwise diminish anyone. As I see it, sex is a normal human function. It’s not intrinsically bad or dirty. Adults should have the right to be sexual however and with whomever they please. At the same time, no one should have sex with anyone they don’t want to. Some people need or want to pay for sexuality; others are willing to provide it. As long as both client and sex worker act freely, whatever they negotiate is simply a labor exchange, not exploitation. Sex work in all its forms, including prostitution, should be legal, meaning decriminalized. At the same time, I believe there ought to be fearsome laws fully enforced against anyone who profits off someone else’s sexuality without their consent: nonconsensual sex work is commodified rape. I acknowledge there is tension in those two positions, but they aren’t incompatible. Voluntary sex workers should enjoy the full protection of the law; traffickers deserve to rot in prison. I stand in solidarity with all sex workers, and hold a special place in my heart for those working against their will. I look to the day when we all can work free of intimidation and recrimination.”

“Our job is to shimmy and to strip and to suck and to squirt and to flirt and to spank and to tease and to screw and to come. And it’s a whole bunch of other things, too, but can we just stay right here for a moment? Done right, our job is downright juicy and delicious. We get to be sensual. We get to be gorgeous. We get to give and receive pleasure. Never fucking forget this. Sure, a lot of the time, there’s nothing fun about it—it’s boring, it’s repetitive, it’s exasperating—you might say it’s like telling a CPA they should enjoy filing taxes. But shuffling paperwork isn’t the same as putting on clothes that make us look good, moving in ways that make people’s eyes dance. Many people believe that commodified sex must always be zero-sum, extractive, and sad. If someone is paying for sexuality, then it is automatically empty; if we’re getting paid to do it, then we’re just going through the motions. But we know it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m not suggesting for a second that you connect authentically with every client—god knows, deep connection is rare. But always remember pleasure. Look for it, seek it out—it’s your inheritance. Nobody gains when we just go through the motions. The world isn’t a better place when we feel dead inside. Annie Sprinkle, former prostitute, fountain of kindness and acceptance, is my heroine. In her list, “Forty Reasons Why Whores Are My Heroes,” Annie reminds us, for all the discrimination and dangers we face, sex workers sparkle. We make the world a more luscious place. We get paid to play in the sandbox of the erotic imagination, with some of the biggest toys there are: bodies, emotions, imaginations, and desires. Never lose sight of that fact. Enjoy yourself as much as you let others enjoy you.”

Very good reading, indeed.

[Billystar · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was one ressourceful book. While I don't fully agree with everything, I do believe it deserves 5 stars: it is not only honest but grounded in reality, which I think is something lacking from a lot of Sex Work mentors I encounter online.

This book is for sex workers of all kind, but it's not for people who want to dabble into sex work ot are just curious. It's a tool for people who wants to have a succesful carreer in sex work while balancing the other aspects of their lives.

This book is not about stacking papers, it's about staying sane and true to yourself while maintaining realistic goals in the wildest industry there is. Very helpful.

As a sexologist, I was immediately interested to review the new book Thriving in Sex Work: Heartfelt Advice for Staying Sane in the Sex Industry by Lola Davina. I interviewed her for my weekly radio show Eros Evolution and you can listen to it here.

I feel that sex work is always going to be an area that requires more education, with messages such as sex work is work; not all sex workers are victims and forced into it; and that sex workers have rights and the need for respect and safety just like any other profession. There are many types of sex workers from escorts, webcam sex, phone sex operators, strippers, to porn performers. It is not difficult to imagine how one can feel shame, alienated, and rejected, as well as experience stigma, discrimination, and threats to one’s safety.

As preparation for the interview, I read the book and liked how Davina opened the book by sharing her personal foray into sex work. I found myself surprised with how the book decided to deal head-on with the demons of sex work – so necessary, vital, yet heavy going stuff! The emotions that would come up included: fear, shame, low self-esteem, anger, and envy. Each emotion received discussion around it, followed by a combination of practical or heartfelt advice. Exercises woven in where appropriate as well.

The book is divided into five parts – Demons (as mentioned above); Tools of the Trade; Sex work and Self-Care; Sex work and Relationships; Life after the Life. I especially liked the advice about money management, because we all could do with managing this resource better – myself included. It was evident that everything Davina had to share was from experience (being a veteran), as well as through and thoughtful research from somebody determined to help – the heart behind it is evident. I really like the resources included in the appendix – from sexual health, marketing venues, to sex worker communities.

I feel the book is well-written, easy to read, practical, endlessly useful and heartfelt. This is a much-needed book – and I would recommend it to anybody I come across who is in the sex work industry, or have loved ones in it and wish to understand more about the work. It would empower and support those in the industry – and even for those not engaged in sex work, it would help them understand more and be more compassionate and supportive of those who are.

I'm not even sure where to begin on the magic of this book. Whether you are/were/are considering sex work or are just someone who wants to be more content with life you NEED to read this. The simple layout, facts, antidotes, and advice are amazing. I took my time reading it and it seemed like every time I picked it up, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
Some of the wonderful points include:
-understanding you aren't the only one feeling that way
-exploring the emotions that are attached to money
-preparing for future, both the good and the bad
-building confidence in yourself and your skills
-feeling supported through the toxic media/public opinions you deal with regularly

I truly recommend this for everyone.

[The Writers Nexus · Rating 5 out of 5]

I came across this book for my research in the dating and relationship field. However, I quickly realized that this book had more than I first thought.... for example, the very comprehensive section on MONEY.

This woman advocates for sex workers to Pay Their Taxes. What?!

The info is SO solid... my take away from it... if you're a solopreneur... just read this for the section on how to handle your money. And if you're a sex worker then this book could probably become some type of bible for the industry.

Seriously, it's very level headed, practical info. I was expecting more raunch... but no. It's just straight up down to Earth a good read. :)

[Carissa Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book read like a love letter to sex workers, written with such compassion, love and care while also providing grounding, practical wisdom for managing legality, money and personal relationships.

Davina also covered so many important topics like shame around sexuality, sex work, bodies, money and how to combat those big difficult feelings that are so ingrained in our culture. Not just a book for sex workers, but for anyone to unpack how we view sex work and how we ultimately take care of each other and ourselves - 10/10.

[Anna Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

No matter your profession, this is a self-help manual for starting and maintaining a thriving business, respecting yourself, dealing with difficult clients, feeling good about yourself, handling your money and dealing with disappointment.

(The English review is placed beneath Russian one)

Не являясь ни потребителем подобных развлечений, ни активным его участником в каком бы то ни было смысле, мне всё же интересно было узнать о внутренней кухне данной деятельности. Не сказать, что автор описывает что-то из жизни секс работниц или свою собственную жизнь на данной стезе. Данная работа представляет собой книгу по самопомощи, но с явным уклоном в определённую сторону. Автор делится своими советами (или можно сказать, опытом) предлагая в качестве оных несколько основных и кучу небольших тем. В принципе, мне, как совершенно стороннему человеку, советы показались довольно дельными и в принципе, в какой-то степени, универсальными.
В основном автор, как она в самом начале книги это особо подчеркнула, будет много писать о психологической или душевной стороне этого дела. К примеру, страх, что кто-то из близких может узнать, чем на самом деле занимается человек. Что касается остальных вопросов, то тут автор пишет о заработке, его налогообложении (как я понял, почему это стоит делать), где хранить основную сумму (не у себя дома) и так далее. Интерес представляет также вопрос права, а именно, что автор особо рекомендует иметь в запасе хорошего адвоката и консультанта по правовым вопросам. Первый понадобится в случаи взаимодействия с полицией, а второй, в качестве консультанта по множеству самых разных вопросов.
Конечно, автор будет упоминать и собственные истории, как например, попытка получить услугу бесплатно, после целого года оплачиваемого посещения. Как пишет автор, ей аж пришлось сменить место жительства из-за этого, т.к. персонаж в буквальном смысле слова стоял под окнами и названивал. Кстати, способность быстро сменить место жительства, это одно из необходимых свойств работниц данной индустрии. Таким же необходимым является вопрос цены. Как я понял автора, снижать цену не стоит ни при каких обстоятельствах. Интересно, что спрос на услуги не зависит от возраста и у работниц «в возрасте» может быть столько же клиентов, сколько у молодых работниц.

Not being a consumer of such entertainment, or an active participant in any sense, I was still interested in learning about the inner life of this activity. Not to say that the author describes something from the life of sex workers or his own life on this path. This work is a book on self-help, but with a clear bias in a certain direction. The author shares her advice (or experience) by suggesting a few basic and a bunch of small topics. As a matter of fact, I, as an absolutely outsider, thought the advice was quite reasonable and, to a certain extent, universal.
Basically, the author, as she emphasized at the beginning of the book, will write a lot about the psychological or emotional side of this case. For example, the fear that someone in the family may find out what a person really does. As for the rest of the questions, here the author writes about income, taxation, where to keep the main amount of money (not at home), and so on. There is also a question of law, namely that the author particularly recommends having a good lawyer and a legal adviser there. The first one will be needed in case of interaction with the police, and the second one will be needed as a consultant on many different issues.
Of course, the author will also mention her own stories, such as an attempt to get the service free of charge, after a year of paid visits. As the author writes, she had to change her place of residence because of this, because the character literally stood under the windows and called by phone. By the way, the ability to quickly change residence is one of the necessary qualities of female workers in the industry. Equally necessary is the question of price. As I understood the author, there is no reason to reduce the price under any circumstances. Interestingly, the demand for services does not depend on the age and female workers "at older age" may have the same number of clients as young workers.

There’s this anti human-trafficking group I’m considering to join because they need Romanian speakers. I was shocked and devastated to find out how many of my conationals are being trafficked in the brothels in Czech Republic. Call me ignorant, but I wasn’t aware of the problem being at such a scale.
I joined one of their meetings and I needed days to recover emotionally afterwards. It’s such a sensitive and complicated topic. And me - I had a protected blissful childhood and was raised in a conservative family. So I decided to take it slowly.
The coordinator of the group proposed different materials for us to read to get familiar with the issue. So I was like “Ok, a bit of reading can’t hurt”.
Last time was a book about the Christian view on human trafficking, this time was this book - of the perspective of the people on “the other side” - the sex workers.
Although the author mentioned she does not address the trafficked sex workers, I still felt weird to read it, in the bus and in public. It felt weird to get a glimpse into all of these things. It made me reconsider a lot of things.

To be honest, I was ashamed to mark it as read here on Goodreads. But here I am.

[Jessica Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lola speaks with compassion, love and genuine care.
I'm not a sex worker, and never have been, but I have several friends who are. I have much respect for all those in the spectrum of the profession. The agency, artistry, creativity, satisfaction and education afforded by the work is nothing short of wonderful.
Much of this advice is practical and applicable to any employment, but Lola addresses specific circumstances with brilliance.
I can't emphasise enough how kind, gentle and empathetic her writing is. She writes with clear familiarity of SW experience, immediately disarming and gaining trust from the reader. She isn't patronising, judgemental and completely recognises her privilege (being able to select/decline clients, financial security, conventionally attractive appearance, bodily autonomy, safety etc)
I'm struggling desperately with my mental health at the moment and the chapter touching on this along suicide had me in floods of tears.
It was entirely what I needed, and I thank Lola for this gift of a book.

[Bailey Laux · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this. I would give it 4.5 stars because there were some nuggets I wish were fluffed out more, but between Lola covering a wide range of sex work and her providing a ton of resources to hone in on several ideas, I felt 5 stars was more than adequate!

I’ve been in the SW industry for 8 years and generally feel I have a good handle on things, but reading this book felt very healing. Having someone verbalized thriving in this lifestyle in such an easy-going, caring way really felt like being held intellectually and emotionally- something I realized we don’t get much of in this hyper-independent, sometimes dog-eat-dog industry.

If you are a sw or are interested in the industry, this is a must read.

[Clare Dolphin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will be helpful starting point to anyone considering sex work regardless of your sex, gender, race or sexuality. While the author admits she can only write from her experiences as a white cis woman whose middle class, she does her best to be inclusive and acknowledges openly that not all her advice will be useful to everyone.
Well worth the read, even if just for the emotional and mental health advice.
