Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass? show art Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass?

Next Level Guy

Ozzy’s gone. And suddenly everyone cares. But did they care yesterday? Did they tell him when he was here? Or are they just posting because it’s trending? This isn’t just about him. It’s about us. And how we’re wasting our lives pretending to care… too late. On today’s short and sharp solo episode, I get real about the performative grief we see every time someone famous passes — and how it reveals a much deeper problem in how we connect with the people who matter.

Episode: #43 Alice Little on intimacy, connection and why our perceptions of sex work are very wrong 

Who: Alice Little is the number one booking legal sex worker in the United States and works as a courtesan at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. At only 4ft 8in, she is by far the tiniest lady at the legal brothels in Nevada. A New York native, she has worked as an EMT and horse jockey, loves electronic and tabletop entertainment, and adores intellectual stimulation. A frequent visitor to Virginia City and fascinated by its history, she loves exploring Nevada and all it has to offer. Alice has presented at over 50 Kink and BDSM events nationwide and frequently helps couples with their problems in and out of the bedroom. She has recently started writing relationship advice articles for She Knows Media and was also recently featured on the Tim Ferriss Show.

In this interview we discuss the benefits of sex work, intimacy, building connection with others and why your perceptions of sex work are very likely to be wrong. This topic may not be for everyone but Alice is very humble, honest, open and truthfull about the pros and cons for sex workers and is trying to make the industry better for those who use it and work in it. This interview may offend some but this podcast is here to delve into all areas and find out more and what makes people so successful and so appealing to others. Sex work is one of the oldest industries around and we would be doing a disservice to men by ignoring where we go wrong and by ignoring the industry and its positive benefits that can be provided to those who use it. I have never used a sex worker but this did not mean I was not interested in finding out more and learning about the other side of life as the saying goes. I hope that if anything, like Alice says you learn that sex workers are humans too and deserve the same level of respect and interest as anyone else and hpefully this interview changes your perceptions on sex work too or helps you at least consider you current views on the industry and those who work in it.

Some things to reflect on

  • Tamorrow Pierce First female knight 
  • Her clients have a self-awareness of what they want in life - is there something that you would like to try but are not sure how to communicate this to your partner?
  • Alice finds men "struggle with connection and communication"
  • The heart of the problem is the lack of sex education and communication - if you can't verbalise it, should you really be doing it?
  • We need to be vulnerable and open with our partners to find true intimacy - the stereotype of being the strong silent man is really holding us back from finding the connections with our partners on the level that we truly desire
  • Our society has become very touch-starved and physical intimacy is on the decline - leave the phone alone and build connection with the person opposite you
  • You need to stop looking to the future as it is not a guarentee, the only thing we have that is promised is the here and now
  • Find out more about 'Hookers for Health Care' here
  • Alice does not compare herself to others, she just works on becoming the best version of herself - why are you competing with others? Be open, vulnerable and become the man you want to become by competing only with the person you were yesterday and improving on that
  • Porn isn't bad but it can be in how you use it and allow yourself to be desensitised to sexual needs and wants - is your use of porn healthy?
  • "The speed at how we have sex has got to slow down" and "we need to spend more time on things like foreplay" as we are "missing the beauty of sex" because we are rushing things
  • Relationships require work and we shouldn't shy away from doing the work
  • As Alice says "there is an aspect of every single human being .. to fall in love with", so stop worrying about who you are and allow yourself to be open, honest and intimate with your partner, friends etc and build true and honest connections with others
  • Sex workers are people too, so learn to identify with the person and connect with them rather then with your own belief about their profession
