good articles.
Though the sex text worker article is mostly based on the novelty value since there was not a lot of things happening 
I'm sure we have hundreds of stories from this board alone of shit jobs where there actually has been some collective action taken against the bosses, but perhaps just more mundane and everyday jobs...
Anyways, interesting piece indeed.

Sex sells. I had to reach for the chrome pleasure wand after reading it. If I knew it was anarchist males behind those things I’d use them more often…

He found it degrading because he was taking it.
Seriously though I've read a couple similar articles about sex working and it does pollute your life a little, all jobs pervade your consciousness to an extent and something repulsive like that is worse to have intruding on your life.

I believe medical technology is advancing at such a rate that in 2 years Humour transplants will be available on the NHS.

Not many people can say their Mum was proud when she read an article about her son's time as a sex worker. 8)

Yeah we did float the idea among ourselves of compiling some sort of "accounts" section where people can share experiences of jobs they have had....

I myself was wondering what a sex test worker does...
