Deskripsi

Megan Prescott joins Eva Oh on #teakink to discuss the complexities of growing up in the public eye, navigating OnlyFans, and confronting internalized shame. She shares her journey from child acting to stripping (badly), how sex work became a financial lifeline, and why society struggles with women owning their sexuality. Megan also breaks down the fight for sex work decriminalization in the UK, her role as Chair of National Ugly Mugs, and the real dangers of the Nordic Model. Plus, the tabloid obsession with nudes, funding her Edinburgh Fringe show, and the unexpected freedom of her autism diagnosis.Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/evaohMore on Eva Oh: https://eva-oh.comHIGHLIGHTS:Here are the timestamps for the episode.
