Sex, money, drugs and danger: they are all in a night’s work for millions of prostitutes around the world. But who are they? What are their lives like? And how do they really feel about what they do? Their answers are here, the unvarnished truth of life in the modern sex trade told by those who work in it. Author Julian Davies interviewed streetwalkers, call girls, brothel workers, dominatrix and even male escorts to uncover their twilight world: the tricks of the trade; the violent punters and bizarre requests; the run-ins with the cops; the risks, the family breakdowns and the absurd situations. Controversial, shocking and explicit, but also often funny and poignant, Hookers is the most candid account ever of life inside the underground sex industry.
