Episode 13: Sex Work Across Cultures
How is sex work like that guy in Mad Max: Fury Road who rode into combat playing a flamethrowing guitar? We talk about that in this episode of The Skeptical Pervert! This episode was delayed by a misadventure with COVID-19 and a hard drive crash. but it takes more than that to keep us down. In this episode, we examine how the concept of 'sex work' varies across different cultures, and along the way talk about colonization. This is even more complicated than the 'what is sex work?' question, not only because every culture and society treats sex work differently, and often says completely different things about sex work altogether, but it's sometimes hard for people from one society even to be able to tell if something in a different society is sex work. We’re not professional anthropologists, so we invite you to muddle through this with us, and if you have any comments, let us know! As usual, the transcript can be found at SkepticalPervert.com.
