Was revelatory Prostitute Laundry changed the way I think and feel about intimacy and sex and love I snapped photos of and revisited so many passages that I almost want them tattooed on my body I was sorry to be hurting the people closest to me but those months were like shattering a glass bottle to get to something exquisite held inside But I still felt like my love for him had been in me like a vein of gold ore Sometimes I wondered if all the pain of the past years was me seeing the light glint off it but not knowing how to touch it Maybe it was so affecting because some of the letters spoke to almost the exact circumstances of my life right now.

Prostitute laundry meaning At times the narrator is unlikeable exhausting and neurotic self obsessed and navel gazing and she s also intensely relatable and sympathetic Her raw and unflinching observations and admissions about the feeling of being in the eye of the storm that is being in love or in lust or both are both witty and poetic I didn t agree with many of her choices which made them frustrating to follow at times and I m not sure whether she and I would get along in real life but who cares As a modern woman navigating the rocky waters of loving men with varying degrees of success and fulfillment I found much to relate to in these pages Whether or not sex work interests you doesn t really matter If you re interested in spending a few days trying on the emotional life of a keenly intelligent human female who feels everything to 11 pick this one up Paperback Love sex and compulsion what could you want Paperback Charlotte Shane s epistolary memoir about her internal journey as a high paid escort made me curious about the fact I never got to be a boy crazy sex worker Touch and access to my skin was an annoying necessity on the way to financial freedom but Charlotte Shane seeks intimacy sexual attention kindness and genuine tenderness from even crushes out on men who are her clients Charlotte Shane s writing is as stark and prickly as it is lovely honest and brutally beautiful Her writing unlike her sex work and non paid sex life is a place where she can loses herself entirely and be full Some letters are her own private Stratosphere the highest roller coaster at 1. What's red light district 091 feet in the air as she tosses herself out to callous men only to find herself caught in the arms of another less desirable one with her legs dangling as she recovers from a particularly manipulative client But her entanglements are only scaffolding for the tone of this important insightful work because in her letters to her readers to herself to everyone to no one she is free ever expansive relentless and full of heart Her ability to describe the emotional complexity of sex work her love hate relationships with clients and her journey to embody her own sexuality was handled with such poise grace and juicy carnal details that it is impossible to put down But you don t get a wet pussy reference for wet pussy s sake ever Along with it is an anal rape by a massage client who did not tip extra You get a regretful silent scream and paid sex akin to smashing your palm on a tac than humping And yet Prostitute Laundry never is apologetic coarse or sanctimonious I would love to Charlotte Shane directly that this is the best sex work memoir I have read since David Henry Sterry s Chicken but I have no idea if she is Charlotte Shane Sara Laura or who And as curious as I am about that decision to not reveal her name aside I respect her decision to hide And so I am telling you all here This book is gorgeous smart and deserves much acclaim Paperback Reading this book felt like being strapped to a chair while someone plays you a propaganda film about their own life Paperback Hmm this was interesting but ultimately I wouldn t recommend There were some parts especially in the middle that were beautifully written passages that really hit you in the gut But there were lots of other parts where basically our narrator is describing texts and e mails back and forth with her various lovers sex work customers My eyes glazed over just typing that out I mean I understand how this book wanted to make an argument for how if you CHOOSE to go into sex work it s a FEMINIST CHOICE and by god NO ONE SHOULD JUDGE YOU but I would have at least appreciated a chapter explaining why the narrator got into sex work in the first place I was dying to find out and I never did I know it s basic of me to want the narrator to tell that part of the story but I can t lie and say I didn t wish it was explained I think that s partly because there s a real contrarian streak in this book I could definitely feel it trying to RESIST the typical I m a sex worker here s my wild confessions angle But weirdly enough we get this really conventional ending in which the narrator decides she s tired of sex work and she settles down with one guy And boy oh boy does she LOVE him Reading scores of pages about how much they LOVE each other is precisely as interesting as it sounds. What's red light district Basically I liked the mumblecore y aspects of this book but I think if she had reworked some of these e mail newsletters into polished essays she would have had a real keeper But as it is there are lots of boring bits Paperback
