The stories within these pages draw on the personal narratives of surrogate partners, kink and BDSM professionals, escorts and intimacy coaches, to show that all forms of sex(uality) work have the potential to provide powerful healing. Whether the goal of the work is to give sexual pleasure and release, teach sexual skills, improve body image, help someone embrace their sexuality, or to provide solace to those who need it most - the groundbreaking stories within this anthology show the critical role that sex work plays in the lives of so many. Essential reading for sex therapists, sex educators, gender and sexuality studies students, and anyone interested in sex and sexuality.

Reviews

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 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
