VICE: “I’m an Adult Performer. Here’s why I’m abandoning my Amazon wish-list.”
“Because of the stigma and criminalization of sex work worldwide, those of us in the industry often struggle to accept payment through traditional vendors; In my personal experience, I struggled to open a business account at my bank because of their acceptable use policy. I was made to jump through hoops that most mainstream businesses don’t have to just so that I could deposit my pay checks. It’s no wonder that so many sex workers gravitate towards alternative payment options when we are often at risk of account closures or the seizure of our assets.”
