Body positivity is something I constantly bring up on the show - not only because it's an important part of my own story, but because I'm constantly getting questions from listeners about their own body shame and struggles. That's why I am so excited by this unapologetic and energizing look into pole dancing and burlesque with Kaila Prins. Not only did she use both to help her work through an eating disorder, but she has also discovered what it means to be embodied and to live in a deeply consensual place, as a result. From controlling the gaze of the audience to sharing what it's like to get naked on stage for the first time, we roll around in gender, safe spaces, embracing 'ugly' as a by-product of feeling empowered and attuned to your body, and so so much more. Psst...did you know you can follow Sex Gets Real on Twitter and Facebook? It's true. Oh! And Dawn is on Instagram. Resources discussed in this episode Stripcast: True Stories of a Stripper with a PhD by Lux ATL. About Kaila Prins I’m a drag queen trapped in a cis-woman’s body. A ditcher of diet culture—after recovering from EDNOS/orthorexia, exercise addiction, and anorexia. A voiceover actor who is no longer afraid to use her voice. A burlesque and pole performer who found body acceptance and body positivity through dance. A certified health and wellness coach who teaches (and podcasts about) health at every size and discovery, not recovery.

What's up, dudes? Thanks for tuning in to Stripcast: True Stories from a Stripper with a PhD. Today's episode is about the day I knew I was done with the academy. If you are not working at a University, you may not know about the exploitative, dead-end reality of the American academy. However, after twelve years in the field, I was acutely aware of the grim realities of adjuncting, temporary appointments, and moving state to state for insultingly low sums. In this episode, let me take you on a journey through my escape from the academy to my full-time reentry into sex work. Enjoy!

What’s up, dudes? Thanks for tuning into Stripcast: True Stories from a Stripper with a PhD. Today’s episode answers the question: what really happens in a strip club, in those dark closets called VIP rooms, and from what well do we draw—sisters, strippers, fellow hoes—and how deep does it run? You’ll never know, because a good stripper will never tell. But— I haven’t been a good stripper for a long time.
