In this episode Kaytlin focuses on the life of unlikely national hero, Stormy Daniels. The uneventful sex she definitely had with Donald Trump might be the least interesting part of this incredible woman’s story.
In the second part of this two part series about prostitution in colonial Nigeria, Kaytlin pulls back to discuss the shared goals and developing rivalry between the Colony Welfare Office, which was run by British colonialists, and upper class Lagosian women working toward a broad feminist agenda. Beginning in the 1920's, these women demanded that the colonial state work to eradicate prostitution. However, when the government passed and aggressively enforced anti-prostitution laws in the 1940s, t...
Segilola Eleyinju Ege was an immensely popular Nigerian prostitute who wrote what is considered by many to be the first Yoruba novel,"The Life History of Me Segilola Endowed with Fascinating Eyes, the Sweetheart of a Thousand and One Men". Between 1929 & 1930, Segilola published tales from her exciting life as a monthly column in the Lagos Herald. This is part one of a two part series based on Saheed Aderinto's scholarly book, "When Sex Threatened The State; Illicit Sexuality, Nationalism, a...
Six years before writing and starring in Rocky, Sylvester Stallone was the lead in a soft core porn film originally titled 'Party at Kitty and Stud's', which was re-released and renamed 'The Italian Stallion' after Stallone became famous.
Bettie Page, one of the most iconic pin-ups and bondage models of the twentieth century, had an on-and-off again relationship with evangelical christianity. While her involvement with the church led her to become 'reformed', she never repented her nude modeling days, believing that that since Adam and Eve were created naked in the Garden of Eden, then God probably didn't have too much of an issue with nudity.
This week begins a series on "reformed whores," people who publicly campaigned to prevent others from entering the sex trade. Kaytlin breaks down the context that brought together two powerhouse icons of the "porn wars." Feminist intellectual Andrea Dworkin and Linda Lovelace who starred in the 1972 blockbuster success that thrust porn into the mainstream, Deep Throat.
Kaytlin talks about losing the NY12 Democratic Primary and next steps in the fight for sex worker rights.

Shout out to Survived and Punished, SWOP Behind Bars, Support (Ho)se, Democratic Socialists of America, GLITS & all the old pros who wrote letters to voters-we...
Kaytlin and "whore of all trades" and activist Tai dive into the life of bisexual legend Julie D'Aubigny, who fought, fucked & sang her way through 17th century France. An expert fencer and opera signer, D'Aubigny seduced aristocratic men and women, did some grave robbing, and burned a nunnery.
Jacq the Stripper joins Kaytlin Bailey to talk about American icon, Gypsy Rose Lee. Gypsy was born into a multi generational family of scrappy independent women. After realizing she couldn't support the family as a vaudeville performer, Lee turned to the more lucrative craft of burlesque, which she transformed with her wit and wisdom. Like Jacq, Gypsy was a brilliant stand up comic & author in addition to being an accomplished strip tease performer. And like Kaytlin, she eventually was drawn...
June 2nd is International Whores Day, so fly your thong flag high and listen to Kaytlin Bailey & Ceyenne Doroshow dish on the french whores who helped inspire the sex worker rights movement. On June 2nd, 1975 over 100 sex workers occupied the Church of Saint-Nizier in Lyon, France. They hung a banner which read "Our children do not want their mother's in jail." They sparked an international conversation about sex worker rights that continues today.
Best known for attempting to shoot Andy Warhol, Valerie Solanas’ SCUM manifesto became a rallying cry for a generation of feminist thinkers. Valerie was a vagrant working as a panhandler, prostitute and provocateur.

There seems to be a widely held belief that all sex workers privately hang their heads in shame the second they are out of the spotlight or off duty. While there are undoubtedly flashes of shame (as with most jobs), some people turn to sex work as a way to aggressively take control of their destiny, utilizing the platform to shine brightly and, in the case of Jenna Jameson, build a f*cking empire! Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) passes the teacher duties to Wendi (@wendibird82) this episode so buckle u...

It seems like everyday there is new public allegation or harrowing tale of sexual assault, and that has got some people (mostly men) crying “Fascism!!” and calling for the heads of so-called ‘feminazis’. There are, however, a few key differences in a society that prioritizes human equality while enforcing punishments for those that commit acts of sexual violence and a full-blown fascist regime. They ladies understand this can be a confusing issue for some men, so this episode is the first in a s...
Sex workers are some of the baddest bitches around and in the 1950s, the US government took full advantage of that by forcefully enlisting handfuls of whores to aid them in administering LSD tests on their unsuspecting clients.
