Reviews

Getting to see the work from the inside is eye-opening and even dramatic. The stories here of healing and incredible intimacy fire up the imagination and raise questions about what is possible, as people address body issues, sexual anxiety, and fear of rejection through hands on connection.--Richard A. Sprott, Ph.D. Founder & Research Director The Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance
Remi Newman has gathered a remarkable group of writers-with deep knowledge most humans will never have, and in fact many sex workers themselves don't experience-to elucidate and complicate all that we think we know about what is possible in a provider/client relationship. These are crucial and moving voices that help us understand how much diversity the sexual economy can contain, and which too many voices simplify away when discussing this work and its participants--Carol Queen PhD, Co-founder & director, Center for Sex & Culture
