For 12 years, Kate Kennedy lived a double life - a sugar baby in secret, haunted by the shame society attaches to sex work. But when a man threatened to expose her, she flipped the script. Now, she’s reclaiming her story and challenging the stigma head-on. In this bold and unfiltered podcast, Kate sits down with sex workers from every corner of the industry to rewrite the narrative, one honest conversation at a time. Real stories. Real voices. No shame. No filter.
High Profile Journalist Turned Escort - Bension Does Both!
What happens when a journalist turns to sex work to fund the stories he really wants to tell?
After losing his job, Bension discovered he could earn the equivalent of his former wage in just five hours of sex work. That income gave him time to pursue his true love: investigative journalism, with the freedom to investigate without corporate bosses deciding what he could publish. Sharing his slutty pursuits on social media became a way to build an audience for that reporting.
Bension main goal is to challenge to an outdated assumption: being sexually adventurous doesn’t diminish your intelligence, professionalism or ambition! We talk about the clients he gets as a bisexual man, the man who threatened to out him, and why being bi makes him better in bed!
