A No-Holds-Barred Conversation on Sex Work

“Can I give you a bit of language? So instead of saying prostitute, you could say full-service sex worker.”

In this week’s episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, we have a no nonsense, no holds barred guest for you who used to be a sex worker but now is running multiple successful businesses including one related to helping women victims of trauma to get them back on their feet.

Raquel Savage identifies as a sex worker even though she left that world 3 years ago back in 2019 and is now running a legit business as a therapist and counselor assisting queer and trans victims of abuse and trauma. I sit down with Raquel to talk about her story; the challenges of being a sex worker; how she ventured in and out of this world, the male ego in this industry, her company Zepp and why the appropriate term for people in her field is not a prostitute but rather something else.

“Can I give you a bit of language? So instead of saying prostitute, you could say full-service sex worker.” – Raquel (37:40)

“I would say as a therapist and as an educator, I would say no size does not matter. It depends on the person. It depends on what activities you're engaging in.”– Raquel (39:02)

This is one in-depth conversation where nothing is off-limits. I ask her all and Raquel in her typical fashion and humor reveals all. Don’t miss this special episode.

“I love a turtleneck. Oh my god, give me a little wizard sleeve. I love it” – Raquel (40:31)
