I am very pleased to be able to announce the official launch of our Sacred Whore Line today! https://www.sacredwhoreline.org/ This is a growing collaboration between SWOP and queer, trans, people of color doing healing and sacred work. Community and collective care is something that there is a great shortage of in the sex workers rights movement, and we hope that this new project can help to bridge some of those gaps.
We are premiering here our first collaboration, which is with Rhythmic Botanicals. We are currently in discussions with several other vendors, and if you’re interested in potentially working with us please contact us at: sacredwhore@swopusa.org We are using a profit sharing model, where vendors keep the majority of the for sale price, and SWOP keeps a small portion which goes directly to supporting our work with our Chapters and Projects.
Sex and sexuality have been used to support healing, self-growth, and interpersonal connection for centuries in many cultures across the world. In the past, prostitution and spirituality were one and the same. The temple or place of worship was where communing sexually with workers and healers was communing with The Divine.
The healing nature of sex work can be seen today across the industry whether people are intentionally providing healing through the use of tantra to align the spiritual body and release emotional and physical dis-ease, exploring kink practices to deconstruct power and gender-roles, offering a girlfriend experience to provide ongoing emotional intimacy and care, or trading sex in order to access substances that offer temporary relief.
The Sacred Whore Line is a new project from SWOP USA that uplifts the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of sex workers through self-care and beauty products that are made specifically for people in the sex trade. We feature products and services by healers and sex workers of color, as well queer and transgender healers and sex workers, to honor the cultural roots of healing modalities and people most impacted by whorephobia.
