Sex work is one of the most stigmatized professions in the world. From misconceptions to negative media depictions, sex workers often face discrimination and harassment because people rarely take the time to truly understand the consensual side of the sex work industry. When the pandemic began in 2020, sex workers – like workers in every other industry – were forced to adapt their businesses to a new age of primarily online work. Through conversations with real sex workers and advocates from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds, I’m An Accountant: Sex Work in a New Age considers the stigma of sex work, the reality of workers’ experiences, and the empowerment that can come from sex work. This podcast also focuses on the shift from in-person to digital services, social media’s discrimination against sex work, and other challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has created for sex workers.
Please note the following trigger and content warnings for this podcast: sexually explicit and adult language, sexual harassment, objectification, fetishization, and brief, non-graphic mentions of sexual abuse and sexual trauma.

Interview 04: Sultry Miss Em, "POWER"
An interview with Sultry Miss Em, Calgary.
“Hello, I am SultryMissEm. I have been a Domme for over 20 years and have been interested in Fetishes for even longer. I am extremely open minded and interested in helping people explore their "normal" or "not so normal" fetishes and desires. Trust me, if it turns you on, I can guarantee it does someone else too. Fetishes bring pleasure (or pain) and should never be shameful. I am a combo of styles, I am nurturing, sarcastic, and downright cruel. In person and on cam I offer services such as body/feet/ass/belly worship, strap-on play, edge/blade play, general humiliation, CBT, JOI, CEI, SPH, orgasm denial and control, wax and fire play, roleplay, cuckholding, chastity, etc.
In addition to my Domination skills, I also teach on a variety of subjects related to sex work and Domination. These include webcamming, passive income, Domination 101, specific classes about individual kinks/fetishes that I specialize in, etc. I teach in person and over cam, to groups or individuals. I am also a volunteer within the community and an advocate for sex worker rights.
I can be found at SultryMissEm.com or on twitter @SultryMissEm”
