"Diary Of A Call Girl" Author Outs Herself

[EagerBeaver]

It seems like it is a good moneymaking plan is to work as an escort and then write a book or blog about the experience:

These books seem to sell and the publishers seem to want them. And then when the books sell, the author decides to capitalize further by "outing" herself.

I guess if you have literary sensibilities there could be some money to be made.

What I would like to see now is a group of clients outing themself for once.

Maybe Elliot Spitzer can write the first bestseller.

Maybe Elliot Spitzer can write the first bestseller.

Spitzer potentially could have, but the problem is that he reportedly did not treat most of the escorts he saw very well. Therefore, he would likely have credibility issues, assuming he wanted to and needed the money (which he doesn't, since his family is one of the richest in NYC and he is probably making more money now than when he was Governor).

What I would like to see now is a group of clients outing themself for once. Still only SP doing it. Maybe you should try it and you will get rich!
In the views of people who fight against prostitution and of many women, clients are perceived as rapists, abusers, chauvinists and misogynist pigs. If some of you had the courage to get out of the closet, maybe it would improve the cause of those courageous sex workers who are out fighting for for all of us. It itakes 2 to Tango doesn't it?

Hello Lou,

You forgot lonely losers, bored husbands, Hefner wannabes, jaded nice guys, damaged divorcees, savior wannabes, collegiate adolescents, desperate geriatrics, escort addicts, and mods (a unique and inexplicable class unto itself) lol. Anyway, put me down as that "jaded" type. But, I guarantee you my book will hit the shelves before Stripperlover's expose arrives.

Kisses,

Merlot

Lou, you should attend the GT if you`re not busy.

Interesting perspective. Having hung out with a couple of SPs for the better part of three years now, the anecdotal evidence says that while not all of us are "rapists, abusers, chauvinists and misogynist pigs" there sure are a lot of them among the general client base and on this board. I've heard enough stories of abuse by clients to believe it to be true, and common.

A desirable book to read but the main problem may well be in its authenticity. The author, the agent, the nature of the demand calls for exacerbating the stereotype of call girl life, reinforcing bourgeoisie half truths in order to make the book sell. I remember the memorirs of the Geisha book and its california based author relied on every stereotype he could think of in order to make the book a success. So I would read this Diary of a call girl with a grain of salt as well.

Gotsome,

I would agree with your point to some extent. However, I read the book "Memoirs of Geisha" and it was a fantastic book both in terms of prose and storytelling. If you recall correctly in the book, things change for the main character, and her life turns around, when one of her clients.engages in an act of pure kindness which absolutely stuns and shocks her. It serves to reinforce in her that there is good in people and that someone actually does care about her. I did not think that plot twist was stereotypical, and it certainly does not fit with any of the stereotypes mentioned by Lou Simone in her posts above.

Lou, you should consider "outing" yourself in a limited fashion and attending one of the GTs so you can put some of your assertions to a real life test.
