Seems the real reason people are against sex work is: "I don't approve! They are bad people and should feel bad!" Bad basis for laws. #ccon

Great as it is to see people in the informed sex stores, it's sad they feel they/can't talk sex to their doc or therapist.

Keep an eye out for alliances that can be made along unexpected lines, while not assuming everyone in a certain group is supportive #ccon

Figure out who your audience is. NEVER say you work with everyone. (Which, of course, is the hardest part!) #cconmark #ccon

Talk about it. Bring it up. "My sexuality is important to me, and this is interfering with my pleasure and/or function" - @JoanPrice #ccon
