“I’m married to a guy I met on the job — kinda like an office romance, except I made a lot of money from him first. We take lovely vacations together with my sex-work money”

Photo: Alex Majoli/Magnum Photos Women of the World is a series of snapshots of how women live, in honor of International Women’s Day. In New Zealand, the government fully decriminalized sex work in 2003, making it legal for any citizen aged 18 or over to buy or sell sexual services. Sex workers are free to solicit on the street, run a brothel or see clients at home, and they’re protected by employment and human-rights legislation.

My average workweek looks like this: on Monday, I look at all my bills and decide if it will be a busy week, or a cruis-y week. I’m usually part-time, but no week’s the same. I advertise in our national newspaper and Backpage. I get about $700 a week, which is an average wage here. I pay taxes — this is work like any other job. I mainly work from home with two other ladies.

In this country, “full service” means a hand job, blow job, massage and full sex, and I let them take a shower as well. That’s $120 an hour, but I’m cheap. One of the women who works from my house is a lot younger, so she has a higher rate and clients have to pay more for “extras” like going down on her or kissing. I’m old school, so I only charge extra for “backdoor.”

Because my work is legal, if anything goes wrong, the police have to help. Before the law changed I had a panic button and a cricket bat under my bed. I once broke a client’s finger because he tried to take his condom off mid-sex. Looking back, I shouldn’t have worked with him. We were at his house and the first room he took me to had bunk beds.
