Karley Sciortino left Highland, NY to attend acting school in London, United Kingdom. While in London, she lived in a commune with artists and drug dealers. Sciortino and her friends lived on $50 a week eating food out of trashcans, calling themselves "freegans". She worked as a waitress in a club in London.

Karley Sciortino began writing as an intern at the British style magazine, Dazed (formerly Dazed & Confused). While working at Dazed Sciortino started her own blog, Slutever where she wrote about sex and culture.

The blog caught the eye of Vice, which commissioned Karley Sciortino to create a sex-centric documentary series of the same name when she moved to New York City in 2010. She is both the host and executive producer of the series. As part of the series Sciortino has interviewed “sexperts” (porn stars, sex therapists, neuroscientists, and professional dominatrixes) on topics ranging from BDSM to the complexities of the female orgasm.

In 2011, Karley Sciortino began working as a dominatrix while working on the Slutever blog and documentary series. She has also worked in the as a sugar baby.

In 2012, Karley Sciortino briefly worked at Jezebel as their “resident sexpert” and writing a Slutever-style advice column. She offered tips on dealing with a partner’s sudden impotence, how to know if threesomes are for you, and whether the male fantasy of ejaculating on a woman’s face (or, as it's known in the terrifying nomenclature of porn, the “facial”) is degrading.

Karley Sciortino is also a regular contributor to to Purple, a French art, fashion, and culture magazine. She has made soft pornographic videos for the site in which she can be seen fellating a dildo or shaving her vagina to the tune of Édith Piaf’s “Je Ne Veux Pas Travailler.” In 2013, Sciortino and Coco Young, a Columbia University student produced a film of Sciortino and several underwear-clad Columbia students smearing egg yolks on each other’s faces and making out in the Butler Library, publishing the video on Purple.com. According to an accompanying description, the film “explores the rituals of American Ivy League secret societies, to the point of hysteria, highlighting our culture’s perception of female desire.”

In 2013, Karley Sciortino began writing for Vogue after their digital director Sally Singer reached out to her seeking a response to British novelist Will Self’s musings on men’s preoccupation with sex. Scortino argued that women are no less obsessed. (“Women have a cosmic sexual power,” she wrote. “Don’t think we don’t know it.”) Singer was impressed with Sciortino’s compelling, self-aware writing style. “What struck me was not the subject matter [of Slutever] but the humility and humor in it,” says Singer, who was looking for a fresh female voice for Vogue.com when a friend introduced her to Sciortino’s blog. “I don’t think of it as feminist or not feminist, I think of it as intelligent and modern,” Singer tells me, describing her writing as “so clever, so very Vogue, very current.”“I think Karley is exactly the person she wants to be. It’s not a pose. It’s not calculating. It’s just smart. There’s none of that cynicism or misplaced irony that can affect young, posturing writers.”

Karley Sciortino published her first book, "Slutever: Dispatches from a Sexually Autonomous Woman in a Post-Shame World," with Grand Central Publishing on February 6, 2018. The book follows Sciortino's exploits as a modern woman, navigating sex, love, casual hookups, open relationships,, bisexuality, BDSM, breakups, sex work, sex parties, and the power of sexual agency.
