In this season finale of Seggs Talk Radio, Thea reflects on coming out publicly about having been an escort while building Testie, her nationwide STI testing company, and discusses the emotional fallout, online harassment and the difficulty people have holding both “CEO” and “sex worker” identities. She and Coral talk about stigma, the “whorearchy,” and why full-service work can feel more connection-based than faceless online platforms. They also get into listener Q&A, and Coral’s Instagram polls surrounding what makes a good kisser.

Thea introduces guest Taylor Snider who is the CEO of Studio TCG and a sex worker. Taylor met Senator Lindsey Graham in 2015 in Washington, DC, as a sex work client. Later, after feeling conflicted by his anti-LGBTQ record, she attempted to sell the story in 2020 before receiving a threatening call that had her keep quiet about her experience with the senator until recently. Taylor also shares about what she is up to now, building Studio TCG, a product development/design and manufacturing studio, including work for other sex workers, and calls for uplifting trans sex worker voices and decriminalization.

For the first time publicly, Thea shares that she spent two years working as a high-end escort, often earning more than $20,000 a month in this season’s finale. She opens up about why she entered sex work, what the experience was actually like for her, and how it changed her views on sex work, money, and the people who pay for sex. Thea discusses advertising, screening, safety, boundaries, and the loneliness and desire for connection she witnessed among clients. She began escorting to buy back her time, fund the early stages of Testie, and eventually move to New York City to continue building and fundraising for the company. Although she has stepped away from the work, she remains committed to the sex-worker community, advocacy, and more honest conversations about the industry.

In this episode of Seggs Talk Radio, the host interviews Dominnique Karetsos, founding partner at Amboy Street Ventures and a strategic advisor to Testy, about the business of pleasure, sexual health, women’s health, and money. They discuss how COVID accelerated sexual wellness (Cult Beauty saw an 800% increase in vibrator sales) and how telehealth shifted conversations about issues like erectile dysfunction, which men may wait up to eight years to discuss with a provider. They explore why STI testing remains taboo, how language and “social permission” shape behavior, and why brands like Testy should guide users through results, care pathways, and partner disclosure.
