A lot of the discussion about sexbots is about the users and manufacturers. But what do sex workers think about the tech?
This study asked them, and the answers are interesting. There is concern, but also many thoughts on authenticity.Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13178-025-01146-z

A library as a show piece?: Art patrons, a Florentine cortigiana onestà, and an in-house library study in “Arte”
Veronica’s study/library shown in the fifth chapter of the Arte mangaBack in November 2024, I wrote about the anime adaptation of Arte, which is set in Renaissance-era Italy, noting the library scenes in four episodes, noting how in the episode “Courtesan”, the protagonist, Arte, goes with her master, Leonardo, to the house of Veronica, a courtesan, and they visit her study. While there, she marvels at how impressive the library is, with Veronica saying she needs to entertain her gentleman callers with education, and she offers to let Arte borrow books from her collection, with the latter saying that while standing in her library she can’t view her with anything but respect, saying her respect is for how hard she works, not her profession. It is in this same place that Veronica counsels Arte on her love for her master, Leo, and where Arte realizes that while she will listen to Veronica, she can’t forgive how she treats her clients, as she learns what it truly means to be a prostitute.
In that same post, I also noted the brief library scene in the next episode (the fifth in the series), entitled “Inseparable Bond”, in which Arte goes to the library/study to get Veronica’s advice on speaking to a difficult client, and in the beginning of the eighth episode, entitled “A New Chapter”. In that episode, Arte and Veronica again talk in her study/library, with Veronica saying she couldn’t imagine Florence without Arte, and bidding her farewell as she prepares for her Venice trip. It is implied then that Darcia talks to Veronica afterward about reading (Arte teaches her to read), but not directly shown. In the final episode of the anime adaptation, entitled “Apprentice”, Leo visits Veronica in her study/library, and they talk about the art commission she is offering him, and she is willing to pay him more to make a good artwork (and to buy expensive materials), and she jokes that Arte “she prefers Venice over Florence,” something which likely gets to him, without a doubt. The manga is a bit different.
Veronica is introduced in the fourth chapter, but Arte and Leo do not meet her until the fifth chapter, when she is, again, called a cortigiana. At the time, cortigiana, meaning courtesan, some called them palace ladies, or donna di palazzo. Veronica would undoubtedly be a cortigiana onestà, which one scholar called “the high-‐class figure of female influence who achieved an unparalleled level of emancipation in the profoundly patriarchal world of Renaissance Italy.” [1] In the fifth chapter, she is described as renting a house with the money she makes as a courtsean (what we would now call a sex worker) and like in the episode “Courtesan” I mentioned earlier, Arte is impressed, and after Veronica declares she has read every book there, Arte is even more in awe. And she even gets to borrow books from the study, with Arte saying she respects Veronica’s hard work.
It is thanks to that fascination she gets her first commission, just as she does in the anime. She admires how intellectual Veronica is and is undoubtedly appreciative when she tells her that the feelings she has for Leo are romantic. Again, this generally follows the anime, including when she sees the terrible conditions that lower-class courtesans work within, and what love can do to someone, a narrative which continues into chapter six. Veronica is the one that tells her she doesn’t “have time” for love. The library itself continues to be shown as somewhere where Veronica shines, above anything else, giving her an allure of someone learned. All the while she treats her clients in a way that Arte (and most) find disreputable. This continues in chapter seven, when she dreads having to give Veronica the painting. An interesting scene, not in the anime, is when Leo comes to meet with Veronica, who says she will pay for the portrait in time, not “like one of those cheap prostitutes.”
What Arte says in the fifth chapter reflects how some people think of librarians. This view of Veronica changes as she gets to know her betterThe scene goes so far that Leo says that Arte keeps “acting strange,” then she won’t be working at his workshop anymore, leading Veronica to advocate for Arte, saying it would be cruel to fire her, and saying she has taken a liking to Arte. This creates an interesting comparison between Arte, an apprentice barely earning anything, to Veronica, which he finds curious. Later on, Arte realizes she has to set things right, and realizes that Veronica hides “her struggles below her smiles.” She ends up giving her the painting, saying that while she can’t condone how Veronica treats her clients, she is doing it to have an independent life, and works hard in many ways. It is also revealed she is providing for the rest of her family as well!
Even so, Veronica acknowledges the job is “sinful” but she will continue to keep her smile until she dies. Even after all of this, she still wants to advise Arte on anything troubling her, as a friend, and Arte accepts this, as she knows it is important to have someone like her as a friend. In an interesting article I found, one scholar wrote that “during the Italian Renaissance, mythology and art contributed to the increasing popularity of the cortigiana, or courtesan.” That actually does fit with the series, with Veronica as an art patron! The latter is mentioned by Arte to Angelo in the next chapter. In the process of that discussion and others, she breaks through Angelo’s paternalistic attitude that girls need to be protected by men.
Some chapters later, Arte meets Veronica again in the library (at the end of chapter 10), [2] which continues in the next chapter, when she helps Arte negotiate with Ubertino. She reveals that he worked in the wool trade. What she tells Arte allows her to hold her own, teaching her everything from the beginning step by step, including proper posture, speech, and listening skills. She uses to this to appeal to him, especially using her lace art drawings, to pull him in. Veronica’s role in what some, historically, would call an “honored courtesan,” continues to be a major plot point in the story. In fact, Arte visits Veronica again in the beginning of the sixteenth chapter, when she gets a painting from Arte which she wants to keep herself, rather than giving it as a gift to someone. All the while, Veronica says she is expecting things from her, and she feels embarrassed to talk to her, like she is doing something “forbidden.”
It is her running into a Venetian noble afterward and his talking to Veronica, again in the study/library, is what leads Arte to her job in Venice. This is almost exactly what is portrayed in the anime. The same can be said of the eighteenth chapter, when Arte goes to Veronica again, this time asking about a dispute involving the daughter of Leo’s art master (Lusanna), in which she says that disputes over money involving widows is common. She is the one which gives the idea to Arte to approach a person with status and power: the Venetian noble (Mr. Yuri Falier) who wants her to travel to Venice to tutor his cousin, for a six-month period. Even Veronica is surprised that Arte is going so suddenly to Venice in the next chapter, saying it will be a “little lonely” in Florence without her. Again, it is implied that Dacia will go visit Veronica to get books to continue her study of reading and writing.
Arte confronts Veronica in the seventh chapter and states her principles.Unlike in the anime, at the end of the nineteenth chapter, Dacia does visit Veronica, and is very nervous, saying she is only there because she is Arte’s friend. Veronica convinces her to sit and chat down for a bit, but no more is shown, because the story moves onto the next chapter. Nor does it appear in any other chapter, sadly. In fact, there aren’t any library scenes going forward as the story moves to the Venetian arc and there aren’t any scenes in Florence!
In writing this post, I am reminded what Italian history scholar Margaret F. Rosenthal wrote back in November 2018 for Renaissance Quarterly, examining how one cortigiana onestà, also known an “intellectual courtsean,” named Veronica Franco, was restricted in her professional activities, or whether socal forces compelled or contained her “cultivation of a literary identity” in Venetian society, and the maneuvers she adopted when she “obtained entrance into an elite literary circle.” [3] Similarly, another webpage I found comes to mind: cortigiana, like Veronica, enjoyed a “glamorous lifestyle augmented by an education that enabled intellectual interactions in a secular rather than a religious domain.” This was even reflected in paintings like the strongly erotic “Portrait of a Woman known as The Courtesan” by Jacopo Palma il Vecchio in about 1520. [4]
Ultimately, whether the library is a showpiece for Veronica or not, it is also a symbol of how she is a thinking person, an intellectual in her own right. The study/library is a place she can be here own, a place she can be dominant, more than anyone else.

Notes
[1] There’s even a Wikipedia page entitled “List of Italian Renaissance courtesans.”
[2] The aftermath of chapter 10, a feature describes her as “busty.”
[3] This article comes as no surprise considering that she wrote a book in 1992 entitled The Honest Courtesan about Veronica Franco, a courtesan in 16th-century Venice.

«The Missing Anthology: Stories from Singapore's Sex Workers»
👤 Editors: Vanessa Ho, Raksha Mahtani, Nor
🗓 2025-03-09
🆔 ISBN: 978-981-94-1956-2
📔 Editorial: Faction Press 🛒 https://www.faction.press/shop/p/the-missing-anthology-stories-from-singapores-sex-workers> Sex workers in Singapore — and most places around the world — tend to be dehumanised, glamourised or sensationalised by the public and media alike. Rarely do mainstream narratives centre sex workers’ voices and agency. The Missing Anthology presents fifteen bold new voices from sex workers, whose writings resist society’s simplistic assumptions about sex work. In these works, authors recount their lived experiences, share their struggles and triumphs, and imagine different futures for the sex industry.
> Born from an open call and writing workshops organised by Project X — the only non-profit organisation in Singapore that provides social, emotional, and health services to people in the sex industry — these pieces daringly experiment with form, genre, and perspective. In these pages, you’ll find two “chickens” discussing their dreams while blowing up a condom; pieces on the dynamics of domme-ing and servicing second-hand hearts; essays on the importance of activism and its obstacles; short fiction exploring fantasies of violent liberation; tender letters to loved ones and younger selves that reflect on their journeys and how far they’ve come.
> ‘The Missing Anthology’ re-centres sex workers’ voices from the margins, bringing them into the conversation about an industry often treated as illicit and taboo. By doing so, it aims to address issues of inequality, social and economic mobility, stigmatization, and safety that are fuelled by misconceptions about sex workers and their profession.

Anstelle des #BesD machte ich sowas lieber nicht als Zoom-Call. #Sexarbeit ist in manchen Ländern illegal, die Einreise von #Sexworkers in manche Länder ist schon gescheitert, obwohl es nur um #Urlaub ging, nicht um einen Job.

Und wenn sie verdeckt arbeiten, steigt die Gefahr für sie.

And if you want to know more about me (Cleo) specifically, I'm the creator of #ToplessTopics, a #videoSeries featuring #socialCommentary and #interviews about #freethenipple #toplessEquality, #feminism, #sexwork decriminalization, #normalizeNudity, #houseless advocacy, #racialEquality , #mentalHealth, #bodyPositivity, and many other #progressive issues. 😃
You can find most of my content at https://www.toplesstopics.org (at least the videos I've since reuploaded to Peertube, since they've been banned from everywhere else for "the heinous, unforgiveable sin of nonsexual female nipples" 😏 ) and here are my Mastodon accounts:

@[email protected] -
Now that my kids are FINALLY in school again, I'm tentatively starting to schedule some long-delayed #interviews again for my #toplessEquality / #feminism / #mentalHealth / #sexwork decriminalization / #racialEquality / #LGBTQ and #queer advocacy / #antiCapitalism / many other #progressive issues-focused video series #ToplessTopics !
You don't have to be focused on any of the above topics, just have something interesting to say, and a decent webcam to record with (unless you live near #Portland and want to record an interview in person!) Bonus points if you're willing to appear nonsexually topless on screen with me, but definitely not required. I'm also happy to blur your face out or whatever else you need, if you want to keep your identity anonymous.
We can start the process of setting up an interview if you'd be so kind as to fill out the #collaboration form I have here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/contact/collaborate/
And if you'd like to check out previous interviews I've done, you can see them here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/interviews/ (please keep in mind some of these are really old when I was a lot worse at conducting interviews, I think they're better now 😅 )

Seufz, es trommeln wohl gerade wieder einfache Gemüter für #NordischesModell?
Dieses "Modell" hat bislang in jedem Land dokumentiert zu mehr Stigmatisierung und Gewalt gegen Sexarbeiter*innen geführt.
Das wissen natürlich auch die Sexarbeitsgegner*innen, daher ist diese Gewalt "eingepreist".

CW: discussing when/why I might switch to a female-nipple-friendly but not sex worker or nudist-focused instance
so far I've been happy on @eldritch.cafe (even though I don't speak French, the people and mods on here have been decent, and the 5000 character limit on posts is much appreciated.) but as you'd expect from a smaller instance, I get very few or no results for many tags that are important to me, like #contentCreator #youtube #twitch #livestream #videoInterview #vlogger #videoEssayist #socialCommentary #thepatriarchy and many similar tags.
so it might be useful for me to try out another, more content creator-inclusive server sometime. but I'm not sure there's really a perfect fit out there.
for one thing, character count is important to me, and so many instances (I presume founded by Twitter users) leave theirs at the default 500, which I find stifling. even 1000 is frequently irritating, when I've gotten used to 5000. I also don't understand the appeal of tight character limits, since people just then write out long, rambling threads of posts, that can easily be taken out of context to warp their whole argument and leave them rife for misinterpretation (see: "quote tweeting")
beyond that, while my videos focus on so many #progressive causes I care about, like #feminism #lgbtq #queer #equalRights #genderdiscrimination #genderEquality #houselessness #mentalHealthcare #transRights #racialEquality and many other #leftwing #USpolitics, because I do my videos topless, there are basically no platforms I can host my content until I can somehow convince sponsors to pay me so I can set up my own hosting-- @tio is kind enough to let me post my uncensored videos to his #peertube server, but there's no real searchability within peertube (as evinced by how many people suggest I post my content to peertube, which I already have been for years...) and putting censored videos of my videos on mainstream platforms that tell people to visit my website to see my uncensored videos doesn't work well, both because of how often my content gets #banned even when it's fully censored (thanks, haters), and because many people are a little, well... 😏 I can only say "follow the link written on the video" (because I'll get banned for "linking to porn" if I put a clickable link in my video description or social media post) so many times.
back to switching instances, the main reason I picked Eldritch Cafe several years ago is because, being French, they don't have the same blatantly misogynistic puritanical views towards "female nipples" being unacceptable viewing outside of explicit sexual situations. they just want them placed under a content warning, as you'd expect on basically every server. but alas, like I said, there just aren't really any other content creators that I've found on here, especially not vloggers/social commentary/video essayists like me (idk what the distinction is, really). that's why it might make more sense for me to move instances, much as I've come to feel comfortable here.
but then the crux of the problem arises--I am, first and foremost, a #toplessequality activist. I want "the same rights for 'female looking nipples' that 'male looking nipples' get." while I was raised a nudist, and for a little while there I did a fair amount of content catering to nudists (talking about #nudism / #naturism , being fully naked instead of just topless, etc...) but I've really been finding the urge to distance myself from nudists lately, for reasons I go into detail here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism/ the tl;dr version is that just talking about nudism all the time is boring to me, and I resent how so many of the (straight cis male) nudists who would exchange my videos amongst themselves would skim right past my whole "fight for gender equality" and just use me as a (more culturally appealing than yet more straight white cis male) nudist figurehead. a lot of nudists are also very anti-sex worker, which goes against my morals- I fully believe that #sexWorkIsWork, and any #consensual #sexWork is fine by me.
what I resent is that, when it comes to mainstream platforms, only being allowed to post my uncensored female nipples on platforms that allow explicit sexual material. I am NOT a sex worker, I DO NOT do anything actually sexual in my videos-- I have interviews with #adultFilm actors, #camgirls, #kink educators, etc, but it's discussion only, we don't DO anything sexual, or go into graphic detail about sexual acts. but because of puritanical American society, the only places I can simply be topless-while-female is on places like Onlyfans, Mewe and Joystick.tv - - places already overflowing with porn.

CW: Sexual implications
Almost every day, we wind down with popsicles and audiobooks. I usually double fist as we lounge naked, thoroughly enjoying the oral stimulation and playing with my feet as the colored lights fill our bedroom and cast shadows on the wall.

This is for those who still strive to stigmatise and prohibit #sexwork - who's real agenda is spreading their false moral, not the wellbeing of sexworkers. Who claim all sexwork is abusing women. Guess what? These hookers statements contradict you.
The biggest problem for sexworkers? It's people like you. You do not understand it because you are ignorant.
