i’ve been thinking a lot about work spaces recently: how hard it is for sex workers to find spaces to work in, how we have to lie and hide and deal with really shitty situations just to do our jobs, how those of us with the privilege of a more “professional” (don’t even get me started on the white supremacy and ableism inherent in that word) practice have more access to stable spaces — and those who do the most vulnerable forms of sex work have the least.
sex “experts” on the internet talking about proper terminology has always felt to me like a bit of a circle jerk. what matters most is our clients. and if a term works for them — that is, if it’s helping them heal — our job is to support them. of course, if a term they’re using is causing them shame or frustration, we want to help them reframe, but that doesn’t seem to be the focus of the sex addiction debate. in fact, in the podcast episode this post highlighted featuring silva neves, the originator of the term “compulsive sexual behavior,” he acknowledged that many people get mad at him because they feel like he’s erasing their experience. why does expert terminology matter more than people’s healing experience?
The window of tolerance isn’t a simple formula for consent because there *are* no simple formulas for consent. This tool is a foundation for embodied consent; when we practice using the green, yellow, orange, and red zone consistently, we become much better at giving our honest answer and hearing our partner’s honest answer.
