Today, I’m joined by Madam Bella Cummins, the proprietor of Nevada's only true female-owned brothel, bringing nearly 40 years of experience as a Madam to our discussion. We delve into the nuanced landscape of legalised prostitution, shedding light on ongoing efforts to reduce stigma, promote safety, and ensure consent within the profession.
We explore her advocacy for sex workers' rights through the Onesta Foundation, the shift from 'prostitute' to 'courtesan,' and the recognition of sex work and the human need for connection.
We also tackle the societal judgement faced by those in the industry, underscoring the importance of open dialogue.
