The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.

More than the economic dependency of the wife and children on the husband and father is needed to preserve the institution of the authoritarian family. For the suppressed classes, this dependency is endurable only on condition that the consciousness of being a sexual being is suspended as completely as possible in women and in children. The wife must not figure as a sexual being, but solely as a child-bearer. Essentially, the idealization and deification of motherhood, which are so flagrantly at variance with the brutality with which the mothers of the toiling masses are actually treated, serve as means of preventing women from gaining a sexual consciousness, of preventing the imposed sexual repression from breaking through and of preventing sexual anxiety and sexual guilt-feelings from losing their hold. Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology. Conservative

Whenever I go to read a "dark romance" and it's like "I'm in love with a serial killer, but it's ok because he only kills child molesters / wifebeaters / other serial killers," I can't help but think the author is a coward.

Today is International Sex Workers Day. You may know me as a physician. But I am also a sex worker. It started when I was 20, when I became an escort to support myself through university. That led me into adult film work, which eventually led me to become a dominatrix.

This International Whores’ Day, we’re launching FSC Speak Out, a new campaign from FSC and @EPAUnited centering the voices of adult creators. In our first video, performers share how the industry has provided independence, agency, and opportunity. #FSCSpeakOut #IWD

Men of the world, what's wrong with your cufflinks?

Sex Worker's Cover Letter

I'm aware a cover letter shouldn't be this long

It’s normal for a woman to stage an entire photo shoot around her “look what I was bought for” engagement ring, but I post a picture in my day collar and it’s TMI, apparently.

A fun little love story I wrote that is also 1,000% horror. substack.com/@aprilwould/...

I had no idea until this season of Euphoria how many of my friends knew I did giantess porn.

Posting this because I’m editing and it’s the law, but in truth, this audio is going so well and I’m so pleased with it, I paused to sing along to Opalite here in the diner where I’m working.

People ask why we prefer Bluesky. Because we're less likely to encounter BS like this:

Answer me this.. were the women taken to the “Island “ really trafficked or are they just prostitutes now trying to justify their career choices? I bet they enjoyed the perks of the job really but that doesn’t make good conversation around the dinner table.

Our repsonse: The reason many survivors are hesitant to come forward is because of attitudes like this.
Knowing you'll never be believed no matter how much trauma or pain you've been through is its own tragedy.
Survivors deserve better.

On the phone (not for work) with a potentially new doctor, he said to me, "I just have to say, [April]. You have a wonderful voice and hearing it really brightened my day." Probably inappropriate, but hey

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

We love going on podcasts. But if your topic of debate is "should sex workers be forced to be a buffer class between violent misogynists who want sex and respectable women who don't deserev abuse"? Hard pass. Sex workers do not exist to be targets for violence.

A former caller of mine was a cop and he told me a friend of his on the force used to pull over women to ask them out all the time. I assume this is rampant and ”inappropriate” doesn’t cover it.

General reminder that your local cops also do this to women they've arrested. Like, all the time, in fact! Turns out giving men a gun and a uniform and ultimate authority over others tends to enable bad behavior, who knew

Again. They can‘t even define it and they’re trying to ban it. This is purposeful.

Pornography is not a single thing, it's a label, just like "woke" and "DEI" The antiporn legislation being passed now is incredibly broad, and gives the state control not only over explicit sex, but anything they deem sexual or grooming — LGTBQ+, drag, sex ed, healthcare, art.
