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.
