Valentine Glass
“The sweet-talking is not necessary ... I am doing this because you are paying me, not because you charm me.”
Valentine Glass, The Temptation of Eden

“Ci chiedono se proviamo dolore al termine di una giornata di lavoro e io gli rispondo di provare a fare la stessa domanda al muratore che è stato tutto il giorno attaccato a un'impalcatura o alla domestica che ha stirato in piedi per ore. Loro lo hanno scelto? Qui è dove notiamo che la questione è morale”
Giulia Zollino, Sex work is work
