Don't know if it's any help, but here's an excellent article from a Denver weekly that's won many awards for excellence in journalism:

escort business

(Hope this works, as I've never done a link on here before)

Those books are definitely not for the blushing types, GGG. These workers tell all . . . in sometimes graphic detail.

I have the stripper to thank for putting the subject in my head, however. I had never encountered one before. But I would go to hers for tutoring, and she had - at 20 years of age - her own flat kitted out very nicely, lovely clothes, a new car, etc. So once I got to know her, I threw out some innocent comments like, 'Wow! Someone's Mom and Dad love their little girl,' until she said - very matter of factly - that she worked in 'Sugars' - the local upscale strip club - as an entertainer.

From there, it all started. I tutored her and wrote some essays for her in exchange for introducing me to her friends.

She went on to become a nurse.

GGG
A homeless centre or drug treatment clinic might be a place that can help you with hands-on 'research'. Outreach organisations, women's clinics, etc. can also be sources.

I did a third-year (university) women's studies research paper on women who worked daytimes in 'white collar' 'professional' industries but who - between low pay and high student loan debt -prostituted themselves to afford a 'middle class' life (rent own flat, run a semi-nice car, have good clothes for work, occassional holidays, etc.). I found a lot of my 'sources' through a classmate who worked as a stripper whom I used to tutor, however.

I lived next door to a prostitute once. She was lovely, used to give me beer when I was impoverished and come round for coffee. Was odd sometimes coming home and seeing her sitting in her bay window!

There was a book by a woman called Dolores Frenchabout 14 years ago, can't remember what it was called though. It was very good, about her work and how she got in to it

CountessDracula · 31/05/2005 13:08

she says Escort Agency but the girls did have sex with clients

CountessDracula · 31/05/2005 13:07
