Ep. 106 - Interview: Aries, SWer x TikToker

Author: Danica April 20, 2022 Duration: 1:30:57
Aries (@ari3s_bb) is a sex worker of 6+ years and started str!pping almost 4 years ago. They have also worked with grassroots and political organizations throughout this time, practiced their str!pper smile while working a 9-5 barista job, and been inching closer and closer to a bachelor’s degree along the way. After trying out various fields of study—from visual art to political science to religion—they discovered they could translate being super gay and in love with women (and never shutting up about it) into a degree and landed in Women and Gender Studies. This has allowed them to do research around SW, SWers, race, gender, class, media, communication, justice, religion, and violence against marginalized groups. Aries is currently a semester away from graduation, str!pping in Philly and making spicy content. They’re also blowing up on TikTok where they share SW, str!pping and spiritual related content with their 55,000+ followers! We chat to Aries about: their experience dancing in Philly; being a SWer in academia; peoples’ misconceptions regarding the dangers of the s3x industry; tips for staying safe as a SWer; gatekeeping informative within the SW community; female patrons being terrible in the str!p club; the crossover of spirituality, psychology and other methods of healing with regards to s3x work; and a ton more! As always, have a wonderful week and happy wh0re-ing !

Hosted by Danica, 50 Plus a Tip is a conversation between two stripper best friends who pull back the curtain on their real lives. This podcast navigates the messy, funny, and often misunderstood world of the adult entertainment industry from the inside. You’ll hear their unfiltered stories about the job’s unique challenges and unexpected triumphs, blending personal anecdotes with broader discussions on society, health, and culture. The tone is candid and frequently comedic, because sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Alongside their own perspectives, Danica and Riley bring in special guests to expand the narrative, offering a platform for diverse voices within their community. Their goal is straightforward: to replace harmful stereotypes with genuine human experience. By sharing the highs and the lows-or as they call them, the (b)lows-they create an intimate space for listeners to understand a profession shrouded in stigma. Tuning into this podcast feels like sitting down for a brutally honest, and often hilarious, chat with friends who have seen it all. It’s about the reality behind the glitter, the economics beyond the stage, and the personal stories that rarely get told in mainstream conversations.
