About 3 years ago, I read a post on Reddit about how someone was able to pay off their student loans by performing at a live sex show. Curious, I messaged the author of the post to find out more about it. After some back and forth about her experience, I decided to jump in and see what would happen. She connected me with some people at the club to explore further whether I wanted to go through with it.
I went through a fairly intense and involved interview process over the next several months. I almost told them to cancel my application many times throughout the process as I had second thoughts. But, I eventually completed all of the steps and made it through each round of selection. Then, several months later, I found myself in an airplane on my way to Las Vegas. The trip there is a complete blur in retrospect – my nerves and anxiety were running high thinking about what was going to happen that night.I remember the drive over to the club – one of the few times I’ve ever been in a limousine. As I met some of the others who would be performing backstage, I started to relax a bit – they all seemed so normal, so friendly. That and a quick shot of vodka helped to calm my nerves. Suddenly, I hear my name called and I made my way to the stage. I remember looking out, seeing about 100 people, some sitting just 15 feet from the stage I was standing on.
