Each week chat to a worker from Devozki to help you better understand the ins and outs of the sex industry, and how you can be a better ally to sex workers. This week we chat to Molly Lane about her favorite reads, how the decriminalisation of sex work would change the way she works and fatphobia's presence in the sex industry. Tell us your story, how did you get into the industry and what has your journey looked like thus far I got into the industry about 11 years ago. My best friend at the time worked at a porn store and sex has always been fascinating and I’ve been an exhibitionist for as long as I can remember. I started by selling my used panties in a vending machine and also online actually! From there, I discovered phone sex, amateur clip cites, camming sites, etc. For the first half of my sex work career, I worked mostly just online and didn’t lean into companionship until a few years ago! I absolutely love it. I read that you’re a bit of a sci-fi nerd! What are some of your favourite reads I really am! I love science fiction. Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin really opened my mind up to some ideas. Another one of my favorites is. Flow my tears, the Policeman said by Philip K Dick and basically anything by him is pretty awesome. I could go on and on with science fiction honestly. There are some fun science fiction comics too. I enjoy Saga, Bitch Planet-business I also just stumbled across Flames from a Tart! Can you tell us a little more about that and have you found your skills as a sex worker useful when setting up this business Yes! I started experimenting with making candles in quarantine and really enjoyed it! The more I made, the more I wanted to share this with others. I decided to sort of market towards sex work and adjacent people and a lot of the titles are names that only people in the industry would know. Example 1 “I miss backpage” Example 2 1 token is 5 cents. It is so much fun to create them and share them with others and I made my Etsy shop in February and am having so much fun with it!
