Books about the hobby

And no, I'm not talking about the reviews found this site!  

I'm talking about all the books both in print and online about this peculiar profession. Everyone, both escort and client have interesting stories to tell and I always find myself intrigued with them.  

Currently, I'm reading up on the Manhattan Madam - Very interesting!  

What books have you read about the hobby?

Read 2 Books

About 20 years ago there was a movie based on the book about a notorious madam in NY who had a relative that arrived off the Mayflower.

Last year I read a book about a famous Olympic Athlete who became a provider due to her clinical depression. She was outed by The Smoking Gun.

Email me if you want the titles, as I do not want to violate Policy.

Never read it but I understand

that "The Happy Hooker" was the ground breaker.

A book that was one of the major inspirations for my choice to become a provider..

The Price: My Rise and Fall as Natalia, New York's #1 Escort
By Natalie McLannon

Disclaimer: hard drug use is featured throughout Natalie's story. But it is by far the best written account of escorting I've read from almost a dozen books/ short stories on the topic. Here's a brief synopsis (probably the back book-cover, I dunno it popped up on my Kindle):

In this sexy, darkly funny, and suprisingly poignant memoir, famed New York call girl Natalie "Natalie" Mclennan tells her full story for the first time. A cautionary tale about a bright, confident young woman who sells her future for easy money and glamour, "The Price" takes readers inside the world of the twenty-five-year-old-girl "New York" magazine labeled "The $2,000-An-Hour Hooker."

I hope this helps.. Enjoy! :)

If it inspired you ...

I'm guessing "cautionary tale" and "sells her future" are more publisher's spin than an actual reflection of the contents, right?

Getting Screwed: Sex Workers and the Law

I really enjoyed Getting Screwed: Sex Workers and the Law -- a journalist / professor interviews a number of professionals and attends a convention where there are sessions on marketing, finance, etc.

Really gives a good current look at what is, to me, a hobby but is a profession for the ladies.

She also talks about why and how law enforcement approaches the business.  

Educational and an enjoyable read.

This gives me hope.

I'm writing a memoir of sorts and I was wondering how people in the hobby would receive this.

Charlotte Shane

Charlotte Shane has written two memoirs, Prostitute Laundry and An Honest Woman. Both very good. And I haven’t read it but the show Secret Diary of a Call Girl was based on a book called The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl .

Re: Charlotte Shane

The Secret Diary of a Call Girl is surprisingly realistic. I keep on finding uncanny parallels (and stark differences). I watched the first season on Amazon Prime Video.

It’s true — the whole world around this profession is much broader than just reviews. Books, memoirs, investigative stories… they all show how complex, human, and sometimes even philosophical this “hobby” can be. Many escorts and clients lead lives that are far more layered than the surface suggests.

The “Manhattan Madam” story is a fascinating one — it really opens a window into the business side, the politics, and the personal dynamics behind the scenes. If you liked that, you might also enjoy reading memoir-style collections from independent workers; they tend to offer a more grounded, day-to-day perspective.

And sometimes even browsing structured platforms like https://escortminsk.com/ helps you see how differently the industry is presented in various regions — each city has its own culture and its own stories waiting to be told.

Re: Read 2 Books

Probably "Mayflower Madam."
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflower-Madam-Secret-Sydney-Barrows/dp/0877957223
It was made into a movie, too.
.
Written by the Mayflower Madam, Sidney Biddle Barrows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Biddle_Barrows
.
Biddle Barrows has written some follow up books and articles. Just google her.
.
The other book might be related to  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzy_Favor_Hamilton
but I don't know the name of the book.

Re: I need an email addy...

The governor isn't a provider. He's a client.  

Or was, at least. I just realized that his post is 8 years old. He's long gone from here.
