TOMQ is a safe, sex-positive, judgement-free digital space for Sex workers, who work in the various commercial sex industries in Ontario and Quebec. We support all sorts of sex workers including escorts, models, gogo boys, strippers, hustlers, cammers, porn actors, and more. We don't care if you're straight, gay, bisexual, queer, non-binary or gay for pay, all who do any form of sex work are welcome here!

TOMQ is a membership-based site that allows sex workers in the to connect with other peers like them to share knowledge, stories, safety tips, and general information to help everyone stay safe and make the most of their time in this industry.

Traveling between cities for work is often part of the job, so that's why we've linked up under one umbrella across Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Québec City.

Importantly, this site is not a place to advertise sex work services to potential clients.
