I interviewed my mom about me selling my body For a Mother's Day this year, I interviewed mom on what it's like to parent a prostitute.
Cate: Everyone will remember how I was outed to you by a client. What were your feelings when that happened? Did you already suspect something was up? Mom: Well, I remembered you said you were going to enter the sex industry when you turned 18 because you could get better rates if you were “barely legal.” I figured you had followed through with this plan because you were so adamant that this was what you wanted to do. When I had the truth coming right from a client, I was totally exasperated and could not for the life of me figure out why you would want to waste your life…

What I learned from being raided and sent to Chicago’s infamous ‘hooker school’ During my 5yo sex worker career, I have experienced work-related fear twice. This is the story of my raid and sentence.
During my almost five-year career as a sex worker, I have experienced work-related fear exactly twice. The first time was at the very beginning of my adventures in the sex industry, when a client outed me to my mother (I got my revenge — and wrote about it here). The second time was two weeks ago when I got arrested. After almost five years of whoring in various legal grey–and even black–areas, it finally happened. The day started like any other; I got to work (our “fetish house”) early, brushed out my pin curls, socialized with the other girls, and was generally having a blast. The day was neither slow nor…

Rape is no different for a sex worker I believe a lot of what helped me deal with my rape and the abuse I suffered was my background in sex work.
How My Abusive Relationship Began Extricating oneself from an abusive relationship is never easy. They don’t show you that part in the movies. They only show our heroine, generally a perky, smiling blonde, with clean hair and a new lease on life. They don’t show you the loneliness, the confusion, the terrible sense of disgust with oneself. That doesn’t make the final cut. It isn’t just different for me because I am a pensive brunette, rather than a perky blonde. My difficulties do not stem from the fact that I rarely have time or inclination to wash my hair more frequently than once a week. Don’t get me wrong, I…

Are ‘sex surrogates’ therapists with benefits? Although her job involves getting paid to have sexual contact, Cheryl is not a sex worker: she is a surrogate partner.
Over the last forty years, Cheryl Cohen Greene has had intimate relations with more than 900 people. Although her job involves getting paid to have sexual contact with strangers, Cheryl is not a sex worker: she is a surrogate partner. An Intimate Life: Sex, Love, and My Journey as a Surrogate Partner recounts the exceptional life of one of America’s first clinical sexologists. After coming of age in a strictly Catholic family in the 1950s, Cheryl cast off her rigid upbringing in favor of sexual revolution. She married a man her parents disapproved of, altered the terms of that relationship through an open marriage, and eventually began a career in…

8 things I learned about personal finance by watching Breaking Bad And no, I'm not about to suggest cooking meth.
I just watched the Season 5 premiere of one of my most favorite shows, ever, Breaking Bad. From what I garner on twitter, many of us are fans of this amazing show (and trust me, I watch(ed) a ton of shows). I first discovered this show through Netflix, and thought that I would just watch the first episode. I found that I couldn’t stop pressing “next episode” until I bought and completed the 4th season. This show teaches us so many lessons about life, planning ahead and planning for the future, as well as covering ourselves in all situations but being smart and thoughtful about our next moves with the…

My john outed me to my mom. This is how I got revenge. Grossouts ahead.
Shortly before I became a full-fledged prostitute, my mother found out I was a sex worker. While not quite an abolitionist, my mother–who grew up during the 1960s and came of age in the 1970s–has always taken a dim view of the sex industry. During my teen years, even during my first month as a sex worker, I didn’t own a cell phone. I arranged all appointments either exclusively through email or by calling prospective clients from my mother’s house phone after blocking the number. Not owning a cell phone was so natural that it honestly didn’t occur to me to buy a prepaid phone. Besides that, I had gotten…

How to get, and KEEP, a good credit score I’m anal about my credit. It’s my baby. Seriously, ask my mom.
Even though I still owe about $1500 on my credit cards, when I checked Equifax in May I had a 737 score. That has inevitably dropped a bit because I applied for another credit card (it’s only for a balance transfer, don’t stone me), but that should give you an idea of what my credit looks like. Considering I had a high debt-to-credit ratio when my information was reported, and that I won’t have 2 full years of credit history until September, that is pretty damn good. Many in the personal finance world are adamant that you shouldn’t worry about your credit score. Since no one wants to be in…

I became a prostitute because my friends were doing it—and I regret nothing I decided I wanted to be a prostitute when I was seventeen. None of the assumptions about why are correct.
I decided I wanted to be a prostitute when I was seventeen. Most people assume I made this decision because I had seen Pretty Woman too many times, because my parents didn’t hug me enough, or because I was somehow coerced into my decision. None of these assumptions are correct. I’ve always been prone to viewing my life more as a story or a series of discrete experiences than as an actual life of connected events. However, saying I decided to join the oldest profession to advance my story is also overly simplistic. During my teen years, almost all of my friends were older than me and many of my…
