Here are some of the best stories we found last week from the industry.

FBI Busts Consenting Adults for Having Sex - Don't They Have Anything Better to Do? The stories of consensual adult sex workers, who are often the targets of police busts, are missing in all the hysteria about sex trafficking and underage prostitution. “Just as in the queer rights movement, as more sex workers come together to tell their stories, and the public becomes more exposed to sex work, then maybe we will end up being more accepted, and people will realize that something is wrong in their society when sex workers have to live in silence and fear.” Fully story at http://www.myredlightstory.com/stori...10_11_08b.html

In defense of stripping and sex work. Sex workers often refer to themselves as sex educators, educating clients about female pleasure and sexual health. The adult industry can also be a particularly healing place for people with a disability to access professional sexual services, and for performers and clients to explore a diverse range of (often queer) sexual practices without shame, stigma or taboo.
