On this episode, Osher speaks with Antonia Murphy, discussing her experience running an ethical escort agency in New Zealand, where sex work is fully decriminalised.
Her brilliant book is called Madam - it’s out now and it’s such a sensation it’s becoming a whole TV series.
This chat covers the broader idea of human connection, dignity, and the impact of modern technology on relationships.
Antonia’s approach to her industry has always centred on consent, safety, and professionalism, challenging stereotypes while highlighting society's complex relationship with intimacy and pleasure.
Osher and Antonia also discuss the importance of touch and intimacy for all people, including those with disabilities, and how stigma persists despite legal status.
