I had orgasms with clients, even though it was kind of a taboo at that time to admit it. Women weren't supposed to enjoy sex that much!

More quotes by Annie Sprinkle
I met him when I was 18. We split up when I was 38. He saw me grow up too. He was a client, and also a friend. Such things are more common than people might think. This arrangement was not so different than many American relationships. That's why the laws against prostitution have got to go. They are totally unfair and mean.
Annie Sprinkle
My johns adored and worshipped me, therefore they empowered me. When I was 18, 19, and 20, I had a poor self-image and needed attention. It's hard for people who haven't been prostitutes to imagine, but I think it's often true. There can be a very symbiotic relationship happening.
Annie Sprinkle
Feel free to cover your eyes at anything that might upset you
Annie Sprinkle
There's a lot of pain and suffering out there. I think there needs to be more joy, and love, and orgasms in the world. We are a pleasure-negati ve society. Suffering is much more acceptable. And I want to tell women that they are sexually powerful beings, but they often don't get in touch with it because they are socialized to please men.
Annie Sprinkle
I usually kissed my clients if they wanted to kiss. I thought it was just way too weird to say no kissing allowed, That to me was uncomfortable.
Annie Sprinkle
Whores have the ability to put up with behaviors other women would never manage to put up with. That's why we deserve to be generously compensated.
Annie Sprinkle
I've been putting out sexually explicit images of myself for years. I know this sounds bizarre, but somehow it makes me feel safer.
Annie Sprinkle
I'd like to see feminism really be more loving. Feminists have a lot of righteous anger, and have done a lot to fight for rights. But we need a lot of love and compassion - to embrace people, to educate people. I wasn't a feminist until l I was educated about what it was. I would love to see men attend, and transgender people. Everyone is welcome.
Annie Sprinkle
I had many clients who didn't respect me, probably because of how they were raised. We're all the walking wounded.
Annie Sprinkle
In my theater pieces, I would do Tits on the Head - Polaroid photos for $10 on the stage. There would be a line of folks paying me $10 for their turn. It was public prostitution. I turned my whole audience into johns. But because it was in a theater context, an art context, it was socially acceptable.
Annie Sprinkle
There have been times where I have definitely felt like I was a john. As a pin-up photographer for ten years, when I was photographing men and women, to be honest, sometimes I felt like I was a john, especially when I was shooting guys because they - you know - they had to have big erections in the photos.
Annie Sprinkle
A lot of women I worked with didn't respect their clients. I had some clients who didn't respect me, but still you somehow made it work.
Annie Sprinkle
It's a pity that there's such a negative connotation about paying for sex.
Annie Sprinkle
Sex is normal and natural, and we've made it abnormal and unnatural.
Annie Sprinkle
I had this client I'll call Samuel. Not his real name. I saw him steadily for twenty years, usually twice a month. Over twenty years you really get to know someone.
Annie Sprinkle
People who have been prostitutes are ten times more willing to be johns than the average person. So, if you've been paid for sex you understand the value of that experience on some level.
Annie Sprinkle
I don't think being obsessed with sex is any stranger than being obsessed with stamp collecting.
Annie Sprinkle
Blow jobs are okay, but kissing clients is still a taboo.
Annie Sprinkle
My whole purpose is to bring what's hidden out in the open so people can look at it and discuss it. And sexually oriented material is very important to study in an academic setting. Controversy is part of the fun.
Annie Sprinkle
Whores do sometimes break up with their johns.
