Prostitution: On Whores, Hustlers, and Johns

by James E. Elias

Prostitution: On Whores, Hustlers, and Johns Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

How did whoring and hustling begin? Can one enjoy the work? Why do people pay for sex? What is prostitution like in other countries? What is the future of prostitution? This collection breaks new ground on a sensitive topic by bringing scholars, therapists, and sex workers together to study not only the profession but those who seek such services. Illustrated.

Book News Annotation:

Male and female sex workers, academics, lawyers, law enforcers, histories, doctors, and others offer a kaleidoscopic look at the profession. Among their topics are a madame's notebook from 18th- century Paris, the work and policies in China, being a john, she-male prostitutes, producing knowledge about safe sex, sexual tourism, and why prohibition fails. The forward is by Joycelyn Elders, who was recently excused from being US Surgeon General for advocating legalization as the best means to reduce the spread of AIDS and other diseases. No photos or phone numbers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews@booknews.com)
