On episode 175 of American Sex Podcast, we talk with Codi Vore and Queen Ava about sex worker mutual aid and the organization they helped co-found, SWAID Las Vegas. Some of what we cover:  How mutual aid differs from traditional non-profits & how this strategy eliminates exploitation and inequity common in mainstream charity  Why mutual aid is especially beneficial to sex workers and circumvents barriers that are specific to this industry How the pandemic has affected the sex work community and made mutual aid efforts more mainstream in many different communities Decriminalization of sex work and how it differs from legalization Financial discrimination of all types of sex workers from full service to cam performers and OnlyFans creators  ___________________________________ --Submit your BDSM & sex advice questions by email to [email protected] --To support American Sex podcast, please visit http://patreon.com/americansex (plus you’ll get all episodes early, secret episodes, bonus stories from guests, on-air shout-outs, stuff in the mail & more!) --Get friendly with us on Twitter at @AmericanSexPod or visit sunnymegatron.com or americansexpodcast.com --Join our mailing list by visiting http://sunnymegatron.com/newsletter               Sunny & Ken, xo! ____________________________________ Episode 175 Links  SWAID Vegas https://swaidvegas.org/ SWAID Twitter https://twitter.com/swaidvegas SWAID Instagram https://www.instagram.com/swaid_vegas/ Queen Ava Website https://queenavasworld.com/ Queen Ava Twitter https://twitter.com/iamqueenava4 Queen Ava Only Fans https://onlyfans.com/iamqueenava4 Queen Ava Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCktGWqoG_Nq4tCeHkSI5cBA Codi Vore Twitter http://Twitter.com/codi_vore Codi Vore SFW Twitter http://Twitter.com/codivoresfw Codi Vore Tiktok http://TikTok.com/@codi.vore Codi Vore OnlyFans http://OnlyFans.com/codivore The Politics of Sex Censorship ep 151 https://sunnymegatron.com/politics-of-sex-censorship/ OnlyFans & The Mortality War Ep 166 https://sunnymegatron.com/onlyfans-ban-kitty-stryker/ Open Deeply Podcast http://opendeeplypodcast.com Ken’s charity DnD game Monday’s 4pm-7pm PT https://www.twitch.tv/thunderpantsacademy American Sex Podcast Discord Community http://bit.ly/discordasp American Sex Podcast subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/americansexpodcast American Sex Podcast Patreon http://patreon.com/americansex Updated free BDSM Negotiation sheet/Mini-Workbook https://sunnymegatron.gumroad.com/ Episode 175 Sponsor, Affiliate & Giveaway Info 30-day free trial of Dipsea Stories when you use code SUNNY http://dipseastories.com/sunny 30% off ANY SATISFYER when you use this link https://us.satisfyer.com/us/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=SUNNY&utm_campaign=2H AND enter code SUNNY30 at checkout Hot & Healthy Erotic Humiliation recorded class https://gum.co/humiliationclass Prostate Play for Beginners (recorded class) from Sugar Baltimore https://www.sugartheshop.com/prostate-milking-for-beginners.html Sunny & Ken’s classes on Kink Academy http://bit.ly/kinkacademyelectric & http://bit.ly/kinkacademyhumiliation 10% off American Sex Podcast & Sunny Megatron merch with code SUNNY (t-shirts, mugs, phone cases & more) http://bit.ly/sunnyshirts 15% off your order at Lovehoney when you use this link http://bit.ly/lovehoney15 This link can be a little wonky and does not keep tracking cookies.
