August, 2015
We love getting feedback here at Respect Inc. It helps us improve and shows us we
are noticed. After our May 2015 newsletter went out, we got feedback, and lots of it.
We had used the term “whore” way too much. So from now on, we will try and tone
down on that one and pick up on other terms.
“Whore” is an offensive term, well that is the way I think it was intended originally
and the way it gets used by people who seem to have bought into the negative
stereotypes or just want to try and throw an emotional punch in the face at someone.
It’s easy to say and communicates low social value and can cause feelings of shame.
Well I don’t like that there is a word that has that power to inflict shame on me, so I
support the concept of word reclaiming. Word reclaiming from the way I understand
it works like this: The word used to vilify a community or it’s members is reclaimed
as a word synonymous with pride. “Pride” is the antonym of “shame” and for me
counters shame feelings. The word is then promoted with pride throughout the
community to strengthen it and build resilience to it’s use to inflict shame and
perpetuate stigma by those outside the community. A few other examples of
reclaimed words are dyke, queer and slut.
At Respect Inc, we are interested in increasing the rights of our peers and this often
includes strategies to develop our sex worker community to stand united and proud
to counter the prejudice, stigma, laws and regulations that take our human rights. For
some of us the reclaiming of “whore” is one of those strategies, but we are a very
diverse community and there are many of our peers who still hate the word and do
not feel the “Whore Pride” intended when they hear the word from their peers.
When our May newsletter was just about to go out a few from our team expressed
that we may have overused “whore” in that issue, but due to our self imposed
publication deadline we let it go. That was a big oops as our feedback from our
readers confirmed. To those who let us know, thank you for your feedback. We will
respond by trying to be more respectful of the diversity of our community and how
they like to identify and already we know that means cutting back on the use of
“whore”. Hopefully most of occurrences of this word in this issue will be contained
in this apology. Please tell us what terms you like to use when describing your
profession/occupation to your clients, your family & friends (if you tell them) and
your peers and we will try and use these terms more in future issues.

Brisbane is set to host the World STI & HIV Congress and STI & HIV Conference! These events will run
for one week between 13-18 September 2015. These are one of the first major events about STIs & HIV
in Brisbane for decades. To mark these such important events Respect Inc will send staff to participate in
the events. Our staff will represent Respect Inc and sex workers voices in that space. Hopefully our voice
will be heard by thousands of people, they will understand more about sex work so we can reduce the
stigma against us. The World STI & HIV Congress and STI & HIV Conference will bring thousands of
people into Brisbane city; hopefully we will be busy again after a quiet period.
To find out more information about the World STI & HIV Congress and STI & HIV Conference please visit:
http://www.worldsti2015.com/
Respect Inc also held a social event regarding this. I would like to send my special thanks to everyone
who attended the social event and gave feed back on my personal poster. Sorry there wasn’t much of a
cooking show because of the fire issues.
Biala will re-open its sexual health services again after years of closure, which sent chaos through our sex
worker community. We are not so sure of the exact time when Biala will be up and running again.
However I would like to send my thanks and congratulations on the team who advocate for it to re-open.
When we know more details about its services, and exactly the
time it will be up and running, we will post it on our website
and newsletter and send through the email.
So if you have not registered your email address with us,
please go to our website and leave your email address there.
In the meanwhile, Respect Inc still does referrals for workers
who want to have Sexual Health certificate.
There was a good court case which is related to the industry.
There were men who were charged by the police for asking
sex workers to give natural services. This a great example for
workers to use if anyone asks for natural services. Make sure
you tell them “it is illegal to ask, you should not ask and you
can be charged by police for asking these services”. It is great
to see that police are acting on these kind of dodgy clients.
Just friendly reminder that there will be a meeting for the Adult
Industry Gala Ball at Respect Inc Brisbane office on the 7th of
September at 2pm. Hope you can make it!

What a quarter it’s been!
The last three months have seen an ugly mug be incarcerated due to not following his bail conditions and
contacting sex workers. This man had contacted sex workers throughout the nation and was very cunning with his
tricks on how to obtain their services. It was fantastic to see sex workers coming together for support and to help
make sure this man was charged. I would like to make a special thankyou to a sex worker who works in the
Rockhampton/ Emerald region, you showed strength and determination when all you were receiving was a closed
door in the face. You got him off the streets, THANK YOU!
International Whores Day was held at Dynasty restaurant and it was great to see diverse new faces attend. We had
lots of conversation, learnt new ways of making money and plenty of laughs.
Outreach was held in Gladstone Rockhampton and Mackay in late May. The Asian Sex Workers Needs
Assessment team came along. It was refreshing to have bilingual peer educators along for outreach and meeting
with sex workers and the relevant networks. Sex workers reported extremely quiet times in the region and most
appeared to be running at minimal profit yet losing money more than not. Social events were held and we had
good attendance at most events.
James Cook University had their mid year intake market day on July 29th. Respect and QPP volunteer Lisa
manned the stall and as always we were exhausted after giving out free condoms and sexual health information.
We handed out over 1200 condoms! People’s responses are improving noticeably towards sex work and HIV.
Another shout of special thanks to Josh Duyker CHEP for making our stall happen. Lisa you were amazing thank
you so much for your tireless smile and energy!
Townsville office is holding Tea and Tarts on
the 31st of August. Drop in to the office on
118a Charters Towers Rd for supplies or chat
if you have questions etc, contact me on

Hi Peers and Peeps,
I hope everyone has survived the cold snap and business is starting to pick up again after a bit of a slow
start to the year. There has been lots going on within our community over the last 3 months and lots more
planned in the second half of the year if you wish to get more involved. We now have a Gold Coast page
on our website at http://www.respectqld.org.au/gold-coast where you can keep track of the local drop in
times, workshops, events and news. Keep an eye on the page as it continues to be developed during the
year.
The Respect team on the GC headed out on Tweed Rivers Brothel Outreach on 17 June 2015 with Joanna
from SWOP NSW. We went to the Venus Lounge, Julianna's Gentlemen's Retreat and Le Penthouse Suite
and were blessed to meet so many lovely workers, managers and owners and I want to thank everyone for
being so warm and welcoming us into their workplaces to provide some information and goodie bags to the
women.
As many of you are probably already aware, the Gold Coast Sexual Health Clinic has recently moved to
Southport just around the corner from the Respect
office. They are now located on Level 4, 16 - 30
High Street, Southport and there new number is
(07) 5687 9200. They are open 7.15 am – 7.00
pm Mon Thursday, 7.15 am – 4.30 pm Friday
and are closed 1 pm – 3 pm Wednesdays. So if
you have an appointment at GCSH we would love
for you to drop by the Respect office while you
are in Southport. We still have cheap safer sex
supplies for sale and if you are a Respect member
you get a further 10% discount on products,
We have had some great events at the Gold Coast
office including a wonderful lunch to celebrate
International Whores Day in June. A huge thank
you to Linda, our Asian Focussed Peer Educator,
for cooking us a lovely Thai lunch and for all the
workers who came to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of sex workers rights movement.
On the 1st of July we were very lucky to have the
wonderful and talented Mistress Ruby, our
resident trans-tainment dominatrix, deliver a
“Bondage and Discipline 101” workshop to a
group of about 15 workers. We hope that in the
coming months we can hold some more
workshops, so if you have any suggestions on a
workshop you would like to either host or attend
please let me know.

In the last week of the July we were busy representing Respect and
the Gold Coast sex worker community at a number of events around
the Gold Coast to celebrate World Hepatitis Day. Respect
collaborated with a number of other organisations including Quihn,
Kalwun Health Service, Gold Coast Sexual Health, QPP and
Hepatitis QLD to bring the “Hep, Hop and AWAY Roadshow” to
town. We held successful events at Coolangatta on Tuesday 28 July
2015, Burleigh on Thursday 30 July 2015 and Southport on Friday
31 July 2015. The Roadshow was a great success, providing
information and education around hepatitis prevention, testing and
treatment, with a number of people taking advantage of the onsite
testing and health checks and getting the word out about the new
Hepatitis C treatment.

We are still hosting our Tea n Tarts Morning Tea’s with the next
two to be held on 2 September 2015 and 7 October 2015. The Tea n
Tarts social events provide an opportunity for sex workers to
become more involved in the community and to meet other sex
workers. It’s a great chance for workers to network and share
experiences and skills with their peers. They are scheduled for the
first Wednesday of each month from 10:30am to 12:30pm in our
office at 4 Bay Street, Southport. All past and present sex workers
are welcome to
attend. Snacks, tea
and coffee are
provided.
The “New Worker Workshop’s” continue to be held at
2:00pm on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 4 Bay Street,
Southport or by appointment. RSVP’s or private
bookings can be made by texting 0401 969 223. The
workshop provides an opportunity for you to sit down
and discuss health, safety, legal and business matters in a
confidential environment free from judgement. Come to
the workshop, pick up some free safer sex supplies and
information that could help you start or structure your
business and most importantly stay safe and well.
Look forward to seeing you soon and remember..
“We’re Peers, and We’re Here”!

Hello my fellow sex working stars!
It has been a busy couple of months for the Career Development Program. With 5 new program
participants, who have been exploring many different pathways and actively increasing their skills, the
program has taken off with some very exciting things on the horizon. One lady has big dreams of
furthering her skills within the industry by learning BDSM skills, while another is pursuing a career in
the mining sector. Every participant has some fabulous goals to work towards and I am very proudly
assisting them through their development. Thanks to some funding from the PLA, we are now able to
offer some financial support to participants who are struggling to meet the costs of professional
development.
I am currently working on some exciting workshops for sex workers who want to learn more about
managing their finances, dealing with stigma, interview skills and resume writing, self care and health
management. I have some wonderful peers on board who are very skilled in different areas, and have
kindly offered their time and expertise to help me develop these workshops. I can’t wait to get them
started! Please remember to jump on our mailing list via the website so that you receive updates on all of
our programs and events.

I am loving this position and the opportunities I’ve had to get to know more of the super cool sex
workers we have here in QLD. I hope to meet more of you very soon and strongly urge you to visit one
of our offices in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns or Townsville when you get the chance. Drop in hours vary
in each region, so please check the website!
Ciao for now

- 32 Chinese, 27 Koreans, 16 Thai and 28 others
- 48 Private sex workers, 22 licensed brothel workers (mainly from 5 Asian brothels in QLD)
And very lucky to get responses from
- 28 Unlicensed Brothels, 2 street based sex workers
and 1 opportunistic sex worker.
I just have started to collate data all of the data together.
You can expect to see a report being distributed in the coming months!

Dealing with Crack Dick
Oh the joys of dealing with crack-dick punters…..
Come Thursday night - they’re rolling out of the woodwork, ready to make that hour long booking a nightmare. If you thought you were getting out of this booking easy, think again. Mr. Crack-dick is gonna make
you earn every cent baby. Guaranteed you’ll know within first five minutes of the booking. Try to keep that
smile on your face while suppressing a whole-body groan.
So now you’re trying to somehow get this guy hard while keeping yourself safe. Body-sliding till you’re skin’s
raw; dirty-talking filthier than a porn star. But still, not an erection in sight. Of course, he’s naturally decided
it’s your fault. ‘Come on baby, you’re meant to be good at this!’ he berates, and you’re wishing you could
reply ‘not even Jenna Jameson could do anything with that cock after you’ve be on the pipe for 3 days,
asshole’.
As meth use is growing, sex workers are dealing with this more and more. It’s incredibly frustrating, as you
probably know. A booking with this kind of client is incredibly draining, affecting your entire night. You
might feel like you’re walking on eggshells not to upset them; as clients using meth are often unpredictable.
They can also get angry and aggressive if they’re finding it tricky to get their rocks off.
There are ways to avoid seeing clients who have been using. Alternatively, if you are open to seeing them,
or don’t realise until you’re into the booking; there are ways to make things easier.
Tricks for dealing with crack-dick clientsAdvertising/ Communication before booking:
 If advertising online, use the slang-term ‘PnP’ (pipe/party and play), which refers to drug use and
sex. As in ‘no PnP’, ‘I don’t do PnP’. This can also put clients off, who may otherwise have been going to
offer you meth for services, who have been using, or who wish to use with you during the booking.
Remember, you can be charged with possession if you have illegal drugs on the premises.
 Be polite but firm with text messages asking if you’d like to ‘have a smoke’ during the booking.
They’re unlikely to be asking about Winfield blues!
 Be cautious of guys who keep telling you they’re on their way but don’t seem to be turning up. When
using, people can get sidetracked and lose track of time. They may have intentions of arriving soon, but
in reality, it can take hours to get to you. This is why I always recommend not giving out your full
address/room number until the client is actually there.
Before the booking:
So you’ve noticed your client shows all the tell-tale signs of being on a bender, but you haven’t started the
booking. You’re not really up for it, but don’t want to cause dramas. This might be especially worrying if he’s
already at your house/hotel room and you guys are alone:
 Ask up front: ‘hey baby, have you been smoking?’ with a cheeky smile. If he says yes, politely explain
that you guys can reschedule for a time when you would both enjoy the booking more.
 Tell him you have another booking soon and can only do a short time, e.g. half an hour. If he says he
only wants an hour/longer, explain that you will have to reschedule. You can often soften this with
‘because you look like fun and I’d like to spend more time with you too’. If he does agree to the half an
hour, you’ve saved yourself the stress of a longer booking.
8
During the booking:
 Take things slowly. Don’t get into the hard work too early, otherwise your hand/mouth/downstairs
bits are going to be worn out. Start out with an extra-long, sensual massage. Be firm when he tries to turn
over, and reassure him that you’ve got a sexy body slide coming if he stays put.
 When he does turn over, bring your client to the end of the bed and give him a drawn-out, teasing lap
dance. Even if dancing isn’t your strong-point, improvise a few moves. When you’ve spent time on this,
push him gently back onto the bed and continue with a front body-slide. Slower is better, remember
you’ve got a long booking ahead of you.
 Keep gloves handy. Chances are this guy’s gonna need some serious hand action before he’s hard.
Gloves help you get full-on without risking passing on an infection from client to you. You can really rub
him up and down without stressing. However, if you’re worried a pair of gloves is too much, and may put
your client off, you could use one hand. If you’re right-handed, make this your left-hand, or ‘cock-hand’.
Use this to work your magic, but remember to keep it away from your own bits, and out of the way while
you put the condom on with your right hand.
 Keep dental dams handy. These can be great for ball-licking/suck, and some mouth-to-cock action,
until the client is hard enough to put on a condom
 Use an extra-large condom to start oral with. The condom should be bigger than you would usually
use for this guy. Place it on the head of your client’s cock, squeeze the tip and, using your mouth, suck the
soft penis up while rolling the condom over the shaft. You can then suck away knowing you’re protected.
When your client finally gets hard, take this one off and use a closer-fitting condom for sex (if you use a
condom that’s too big for sex, it can come off and stay inside of you, spilling semen everywhere)
 Have toys on hand. These are great for a visual. Suggest he plays with himself while you do the same.
This puts a bit of the work back in his hands (excuse the pun), and gives him a great show to get hard to.
You can also suggest anal toys for him. Use them on him from behind while he plays with himself.
Wrapping up the booking:
If your client hasn’t managed to orgasm, but the clock is ticking, things can get tricky..
 Remind him that there’re only a few minutes left (leave a decent margin for yourself to work with –
expect that you’ll need more time than normal to get the client out). Remain extremely firm with this
time and do not allow yourself to be lured into continuing to try to make him cum. If he’s been trying for
55 minutes, how will another 5 help?
 Apologise that you can’t continue, but you have another booking straight after this one.
 Offer him another quick shower
 If he’s becoming angry that he couldn’t cum, suggest he spends a few minutes in the shower to wrap
things up by himself (10 minutes by himself in your shower is better than another ten minutes together
on the bed).
 Your client may continue to try and engage you in long conversations after the booking. Suddenly
your 1-hr booking has turned into 1 ½ hours, due to mindless chatter. Reply with short answer, do not
start new topics of conversation, and use body language to convey the booking is over. Limit eye-contact,
and turn away from the client while he’s talking. This helps break the intimacy of your encounter. Start
cleaning up in an obvious way. Begin putting your clothes back on, and moving towards the door. Flick
the bright lights back on, and help him gather up his personal items.
