What is it really like to be a sex worker, and why does society still attach so much stigma to sex work?
In this deeply personal episode, accredited psychosexual therapist Lauren Muratore shares her own experiences of working in the sex industry, the discrimination she faced, and how those experiences shaped her understanding of sexuality, shame, relationships, and human behaviour.
This is not an episode about sensationalising sex work. It’s an honest conversation about prejudice, identity, social judgment, and what happens when people are reduced to stereotypes rather than seen as human beings.
Lauren explores:
- The reality of working in the sex industry.
- The stigma and discrimination faced by sex workers.
- How shame impacts mental health and relationships.
- Why society views sexuality through a moral lens.
- What her experience taught her as a psychosexual therapist.
- How these lessons continue to influence her work helping individuals and couples today.
Whether you’re curious about sex work, interested in psychology and relationships, or want to challenge your own assumptions, this episode offers an honest perspective rarely heard.
