An article I recently wrote about my experience as a sex worker in academia is live on the Tryst Blog. Excerpt and link to the full article below;
“ The archetype of the whore exists as a manifestation of carnal desire, and often little more than that. She exists in direct contrast to the virtuous Madonna, the virginal image of purity and serenity, the whore exists for ruination and sin. While the Madonna is proclaimed in literature as the love interest, the main character, the victim to be rescued and molded to her creator’s image, the whore exists as a secondary character, a character-arc or subplot, the first one to be killed in the horror movie. Lilith cast from the Garden of Eden.”
