10. Lyssandra Ash

The Graduate: Lyssandra started escorting when she hit the federal student loan ceiling and was charmed to discover she had a real knack for it. Today, we talk about her struggles with ennui, the professional and academic arc that landed her in a solid backup career in the sex industry, and some of the trade's Texas-specific idiosyncrasies.  All In A Day's (Sex) Work is produced by Blair Hopkins and brought to you in part by SWOP-Behind Bars. Music by New Orleans’ own Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes. Special thanks as always to Alex Andrews: to contribute to the good work she’s doing visit swopbehindbars.org and remember: All In A Day’s (Sex) Work is an ever-expanding narrative; if you are a sex worker, partner, patron, or other adult industry-adjacent person, I want to hear from you!
