damsorrow's review against another edition
5.0
The best sex worker anthology I have ever read. And I have read them all. Literally. Way better than [b:Working Sex|347954|The Bitch in the House 26 Women Tell the Truth About Sex, Solitude, Work, Motherhood, and Marriage|Cathi Hanauer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173941979s/347954.jpg|1519611], and I will paraphrase a line from my review of that book: "This should come with a sticker that says, 'Now with 25% less San Francisco Bullshit!'" ACTUAL diversity of opinions--like, you know, a pimp! Or a bunch of people who needed to be anonymous! Standouts: Sterry's chapter openers, mochaluv, Jodi Sh. Doff (too good), Kirk Read, Audacia Ray, a bunch of others I forgot but I don't have the book in front of me so cut me some slack.

Well, I read a lot of it, but not all. Had to return it to the library. It was pretty good, but not phenomenal. Some of the essays, of course, were better than others. May get it out again at some point.

This is a very well edited, well put together anthology. The intros as gold and I would really love to read more from all of the authors. Great stuff, a diverse variety of voices (which can be rare) and overall an excellent read. I highly recommend it.

The difficulty with a book like this is, since there are dozens of writers with varying stories, some of them I loved and some of them I couldn't stand. However, I felt the need to finish the book because I was worried if I didn't, I would miss my favorite story! I love what Sterry did, putting this compilation together and giving a voice to so many different sex workers. It really does run the gamut and challenge some stereotypes. I admire his attempt to uncover the different worlds of sex workers, because I agree that there is very little middle ground for street whores and educated high class escorts & prostitutes. Definitely worth reading, some of the stories are wonderful, and all of them are eye-opening.
