Elle Stanger balances numerous roles; she’s a mother to her five-year-old daughter, an author and podcast host, plus a sex worker at a gentleman’s club near Portland. Despite the stigma that often comes with this profession, Elle is proud of being well-paid for stripping. Even more than that though – she believes it actually allows her to be an even better parent! Based on her experience as both mom and stripper in Oregon, Elle shares how embracing her job has positively impacted raising her kindergarten daughter.
Recently, the mother shared with Barcroft TV how much she enjoys being a sex worker, and that it has been beneficial in helping her raise her daughter during such an influential period.
“I feel like being a sex worker makes me a better mommy because I’ve developed a greater sense of empathy,” Elle said. “It means that I am responsible to make a human being that is better for the world,” she continued. “I think it’s just my job to kind of raise a little human that’s going to make the world a better place.”
Elle Stanger has been making her own adult films and engaging in sex work at the strip club for years. She also works as a webcam girl, allowing men to access her content from any location. Additionally, Elle offers escort services throughout Portland – truly an entrepreneur of the modern age!
A devoted parent and sex worker, she knows how to be a better mother for her kindergarten-age child due to the multiple sources of income that stem from stripping and creating sex videos. Despite not having a conventional job, she has firm aspirations that guarantee success in raising her son.
“I think people don’t trust that I could raise a child in a nurturing, safe, structured environment because they’re projecting their own fears onto me,” she stated.
Despite the criticism Elle Stanger has received for her career choices, she is adamant that it doesn’t impede on her duties as a mother to her five-year-old daughter. In fact, the sex worker claims that it only strengthens them and makes her even more dedicated.
Unlike most parents, Elle has an occupation that necessitates her to take off all her clothes and present her naked body to paying customers. Elle Stanger supports her daughter with money earned from three stripper shifts at Portland’s Lucky Devil Lounge. The hard work that Elle puts in has allowed her to make a substantial amount of income as both a stripper and sex worker, which she uses to cover various expenses for her family.
With a degree in criminal justice, Elle was poised to pursue her dream of becoming an officer in law enforcement. Unfortunately, she soon realized that the financial rewards associated with sex work far exceeded her previous aspirations and thus chose this new path instead.
She said, “I became a sex worker for economic reasons, but I realized about six months into stripping that I was learning more about human beings than I’d ever learned in anything — any psychology class — and I was like, ‘Wow, there’s really a whole lot here. This feels like healing, this feels like helping, this feels like giving therapy.’ So I know that my work is healing to people because they tell me, and I see it.”
