Publisher Description
Why would someone ever voluntarily become a sex worker? Liara Roux writes about the salacious details leading up to her decision to become a career sex worker, and the unexpected truths she learned while working in the industry.
Liara Roux is accustomed to being mislabelled and misunderstood.
As a child, Liara’s inquisitive, instinctive, and rebellious nature was frequently problematised in a world designed around the requirements of their neurotypical, cis, heterosexual male colleagues. Coming of age in an oppressively restrictive home, they shuffled tarot and explored self portraiture to rationalise the injustice of chronic pain, toxic lovers, and the cruel silence of divinity.
Critiquing capitalism’s mechanisms of exploitation, the conservatism of Western medicine, and the politics surrounding sex work, Whore of New York: Confessions of a Sinful Woman is a candid study of artistic awakening, and both spiritual and sexual growth after abuse, seen through the eyes of a proud outsider.
Customer Reviews
Completely out of left field.
I can honestly say I was expecting this to be a story based around sex work only. And I was absolutely blown away by the commentary on many social and racial issues. Read the whole book in a matter of hours, absolutely captivated by the progressive thoughts and ideas. It hits on so many amazing points, and without a doubt changed my perspective on both sex work and also made me ponder masculinity in a completely new way! Can’t recommend it enough.
