Whores and Other Feministsby Lauren Bacon
Sex, money, and power. Add a little crime into the mix, and we’ve got the ingredients of a sure-fire hit. So it’s no wonder that the minute I hit puberty, I developed an intense fascination with the world of sex work.
I didn’t really distinguish between strippers, streetwalkers, escorts, erotic masseuses, dominatrices, phone sex operators, mistresses, porn stars, or brothel workers. Sure, there were breathless, giggle-punctuated conversations with friends about which was worse than another, or If forced (because choosing such a career at will was a possibility to which none of us would admit) which one would you pick? But all of the career possibilities invariably melted together, under the heading Sick But Incredibly Attractive.
Part of my obsession was fuelled by the all-pervasive beauty myth that framed my teen years. In my imagination, all sex workers were impossibly, irresistibly beautiful. As beautiful as models but more touchable. With bigger breasts. And possessing arcane erotic secrets, magically handed from one whore to another: how to pump a man’s cock with nothing but your pussy muscles, for example, or how to deep-throat.
Somewhere around age fifteen, I became aware that my concept of sex work was somewhat idealized. I heard through the grapevine that a friend of a friend was turning tricks occasionally; I at first dismissed them as impossible, because the girl in question did not look remotely model-like. Eventually I allowed that it was possible that certain less discriminating customers might, maybe, pay for sex with her, but surely she would never make it as a prostitute.
My illusions, you see, also encompassed a deep ignorance of the business side of sex work. I thought it worked like office jobs do — a hierarchy with the most attractive and sexy women at the top, choosing among their favourite clients, and their minions below doing the dirty work.....
