This story combines the experiences of a female client and a male escort.

In this story from a sex worker we learn an NDIS funded activity drew Jenny and Gillian together.

We hope to be able to offer more stories from a sex worker perspective in the future. In the meantime, you may like to look at the stories in our clients section.
