Never Been Free

Being an exotic dancer wasn't considered to be a glorious trade — and if I were to be honest, it really wasn't anywhere near it — but it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, either.

We were just women trying to pay our bills by giving girls' boyfriends what they wouldn't give them their selves; a little cleavage, a peek at some ass, and a whole lot of teasing! Sure, doing what we do would automatically label us as sluts in some people's books, but that was one of the many prices we had to pay for being such "sinners."
