Ep 9. Pandemic Sexposure New York Gritty

    • Documentary

It's not clear how many people worked in the sex trade in New York prior to the coronavirus pandemic. It's a broad term that covers a wide variety of work. Much if it is legal and doesn't include sexual intercourse. But when the city shut down in March of 2020, whether they were strippers, escorts or dominatrixes, they were pushed further into the margins. Many found their way onto adult websites, competing in an already crowded marketplace. But as their pandemic wore on, some started seeing clients again, and a few never stopped.
