Book recommendations?

[RobX 2084]

I'm looking for a good book written from the perspective of an SP. I see that the ''The Price'' by Natalie McLennan has been reviewed here (http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=9994&highlight=book). There is also a new book out this year from Soft Skull Press entitled ''Hos,Hookers,Call Girls,and Rent Boys''. When I did a search on Amazon.ca with the keyword 'escorts'' it returns hundreds of results. I would therefore like to have the opinions of the SPs on CERB as to your recommendations. If I were to read one book on SPs what title would you suggest? Also, if you have any suggestions of a good blog written by an SP I would appreciate your recommendations in this area as well. Thanks.

I'm reading this one currently. I appreciate how this autobiography is approached out of fascination of the industry....dispersing the stereotypes of desperate women with nowhere to turn but....

 

in this book the writer takes you from mile to wild in her climb up the ladder of a sex-worker's dealings. heres a mild review. its a fun read, not too much of a plot, but really, do we have a plot to our supposed 5-year plan in this industry?

Product Description

Indecent is not your average I-stripped-my-way-through-college memoir. Sarah Katherine Lewis is a veteran of the sex industry who started small ? doing lingerie modeling and striptease shows ? but for reasons including the desire to earn more money and curiosity about other types of sex work, she moved into porn, and ultimately into illegal work.

 

Lewis is smart, self-aware, and bitingly funny. Where other writers in this genre have generally shielded themselves from letting things get too bad or go too far, Lewis comes face-to-face with the unimaginable. Her experiences with customers, whose fetishes and behaviors range from obscene to bizarre to twisted, are often recounted with outrageous and caustic humor. Lewis is a brilliant observer of human nature and has a read on her employers and coworkers that lends unique insight into the seedy underground of the more hardcore sex industry. Lewis is a sex worker by choice. She neither condemns nor condones the work, though she depicts her experiences with a gallows humor that reveals the complexity of professional adult sex work. Indecent offers readers an insider's account of hard-earned lessons and acute insight gained from over a decade in the trenches of one of America's most insidious and lucrative industries.
