FSC, Chaturbate to Host Sex Worker Dating Panel on Aug. 24

Information about the event from the organizations follows.

On August 24th, Free Speech Coalition will host a special panel discussion to help sex workers navigate the world of online dating, the second in FSC INSPIRE’s five-part “Life as a Sex Worker” series sponsored by Chaturbate. FSC Industry Relations Advocate Lotus Lain will moderate “Online Dating Without Losing Your Sanity,” an hour-long panel featuring four sex workers currently active on online dating platforms, with a half hour set aside for audience discussion afterwards.

Lola Jean, Mistress Shayla, Samuel Parrish and Ashley Lane will join Lain to share their experiences and strategies for dating — hook-ups and disclosures, favorite apps and fan interactions and most importantly, avoiding harassment and bans.

“Online dating is difficult for everyone, but sex workers face additional hurdles,” says Lain. “We’re going to talk about everything from how to protect privacy and manage expectations to when to disclose your work and how to avoid violating a platform’s terms of service. Our Life as a Sex Worker series was designed to help our community deal with issues off-set that don’t always get talked about.”

FSC’s first panel, “Life As A Sex Worker: Parenting” is now available on the FSC YouTube channel. Future panels this fall will address topics like coming out, career longevity and things sex workers wished they’d known when they started in the industry.
