The Call Girl

Thought to be a casualty of affluent society and the sexual revolution, prostitution, in all its forms, is still thriving. This is the book about the high-class call girl as she is now - the elegant prostitute - her psychology, her life, and the men in her life, those who pay her, and those to whom she gives away her money. In their own graphic words, the girls describe what it really feels like to be in "the life": the adolescent heartbreaks, the early pretenses that earned spurious love, the hangups that have to be shoved out of sight, the loneliness and emotional poverty of a life-style that perpetuates the self-contempt which predisposed them toward their profession. The firsthand material that the author has elicited is gripping and unforgettable. --- from book's cover
