“Jesus was my boyfriend” Pastor turned stripper says s.e.x work has made her a better mum than church upbringing – More Details

A church pastor who has become a stripper says her new job has given her crucial life skills that have prepared her better than ever to be a parent.

Nikole Mitchell grew up in a baptist family in Ohio, US, and became even more religious in her 20s – spending six years not even kissing a man as “Jesus was my boyfriend”. But when she started evaluating her sexuality she decided to opt for a dramatic career change by becoming a stripper.

Having given it plenty of thought she now feels that she is giving her children a far better start in the life than the religious one she had. She told the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast that her and her children freely talk about sex, consent, bodies and what’s right and not.

“[We have] All kinds of conversations and equipping them with tools that I was never equipped with as a kid growing up,” she said. “It is now so important to me now as a mum to teach my kids these things so they have these skills for a life time, for dating, relationships, for their working environment for who they become, whatever they end up doing these are life skills everyone needs. “I would say my work has prepared me and helped me with that better than anything else in my life.”
