Jessie’s Bio
Pittsburgh-based sex worker and writer Jessie Sage writes Pillow Talk with Jessie Sage, a weekly column for the Pittsburgh City Paper that covers sexuality, gender, sexual and body politics, sex worker rights, and more. She is also the creator and host of When We’re Not Husting, a weekly podcast that explores the lives and identities of sex workers outside of their work personas.
Her advocacy has included founding the Pittsburgh chapter of the Sex Worker Outreach Project (SWOP), where she and her colleagues effectively campaigned to change the way the city enacted “instruments of crime” charges in prostitution arrests. She has been quoted in HuffPost, VICE, Buzzfeed, Psychology Today, Mel Magazine, Salon, Kinkly, Reason, LifeHacker, Salon, Wired, New York Post, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Healthline, Hustler, The Appeal, and more.
Her op-eds have appeared in The Washington. Post, VICE, Buzzfeed, The Daily Beast, Kinkly, and Hustler Magazine. She has also been a contributing author in two sex work anthologies: We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival & The Holy Hour: An Anthology on Sex Work, Magic, and the Divine.
Jessie has been invited to speak about sex work, labor, and sex work policy at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State University, Duquesne University School of Law, Chatham University, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
