In this episode of "When We're Not Hustling: The After-Party," hosts Jessie Sage, Emily Foster, and Melodie KG discuss their recent interview with Dominique Rystan. The conversation centers around the critique and premise of the show. Dominique's primary concern is about the extent to which sex workers — who are often public — should share their personal lives and how much of their existence becomes consumable content. The hosts reflect on this, discussing how they've navigated the balance between maintaining privacy and sharing parts of their lives with their audience.

The discussion also delves into the broader implications of sharing personal information in professional settings, comparing the dynamics in sex work to other professions. Both Jessie and Melodie talk about their experiences and how different aspects of their work, from GFE (Girlfriend Experience) to BDSM, require varying levels of intimacy and disclosure. Emily reflects on the idea of keeping some beautiful aspects of life private, inspired by Dominique's stance.

The conversation ultimately raises thought-provoking questions about authenticity, privacy, and the pressures of monetizing personal content, while also acknowledging the unique challenges sex workers face in maintaining a balance between their public and private selves.

In the podcast episode "When We're Not Hustling," host Jessie Sage interviews Dominique Rystan, a seasoned porn performer and dominatrix. Dominique shares her journey of maintaining a clear separation between her work and personal life. She emphasizes that while she enjoys her work, she prefers to keep her hobbies and personal experiences private to avoid them being consumed as content. This separation helps her preserve her personal space and spirit, protecting her interests from being tainted by her professional persona.

Dominique also discusses the complexities and challenges of being a public figure in the sex industry, including dealing with parasocial relationships where fans assume undue familiarity based on the content she shares. She highlights the importance of maintaining boundaries and advises new sex workers to be careful about what they share online, as it can blur the lines between their personal and professional lives. Despite the challenges, Dominique remains engaged and excited about her work, sharing plans for a new COVID-safe pornography project and expressing enthusiasm for her future endeavors.
