Chicago – GoAskAlex paid a (virtual) visit to Lisa Ann and the \u201cDudes Do Better\u201d podcast this past week for an inspiring conversation about the highs & lows, trials & triumphs of self-employment as an online sex worker in 2022.<\/p>\n
The British Columbia, Canada-based creator opens up about her battle with ulcerative colitis and her 2019 ileostomy, which has presented a variety of challenges for her as a full-time performer. \u201cIt is an undeniable part of my life, and so in that way, that\u2019s also been very freeing, to be forced to just be myself,\u201d she reveals.<\/p>\n
Self-employment has also proven beneficial when addressing chronic health issues on her own terms: \u201cBeing my own boss means that obviously when I feel sick, there\u2019s no one I have to call, it\u2019s me\u2026 although I\u2019m just as hard on myself as any other employer would be\u2026 I have no set hours, I\u2019m just always working.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex admits that \u201cwe have a very high cost of living here, and when I started doing sex work\u2026 I realized that I could work when it worked for me at my leisure, and I could dictate my own schedule, and that\u2019s really just so valuable – for anybody, but especially for a young woman, a person with a disability\u2026 I don\u2019t know that people always realize how freeing that really is.\u201d<\/p>\n
She adds that the secret to her continuing success as a performer and content creator is her unabashed onscreen authenticity with fans and followers: \u201cI could never put on a fa\u00e7ade\u2026 sometimes that\u2019s not the best business model for attracting lots of new clients, but the clients who do love you for that will stay around for the long haul\u2026 for me, being authentic has been instrumental in creating that\u2026group of fans that are die-hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
