Working in the Adult Entertainment Industry

When I first applied for a job in the adult entertainment industry, I was two states and hundreds of miles away from my hometown. As I sat there, waiting to be interviewed, one of my sister’s childhood athletic coaches walked in. Once hired, seeing men I recognized from outside the club as customers was not uncommon.
