Excellent insight. I've often chuckled how almost every sex worker I know - strippers, dominatrixes, escorts - is always toying with the notion of writing a book about herself. My guess is that there are lots of intelligent women in the business - who could never make the same money in any other job - who use the "book" as a sort of moral prop. In their mind, they really aren't a sex worker, just a writer doing a book about sex work. I love this article. Excellent insight.
