She...expounds on the health benefits of being a true whore and the ancient history of the profession. Even though Phoenix's research is expansive...most absorbing are the author's stories from the front lines...Phoenix will delight with her striking and sometimes funny turns of phrase, such as her description of her specialty, fellatio, as being able to speak very conversational French. Likewise, her questionnaires and lists of advice within the last hundred pages are quite entertaining...passionate and informative... takes a range of institutions and groups to task... ----Kirkus Reviews Brilliant page turner...a force of empowerment...should be required reading. --Julie McIntyre, author, Sex and the Intelligence of the Heart.

Author Information

Native New Yorker and lover of New England, Aphrodite Phoenix graduated from Framingham State University with a B.A. in English. She cites her experience as a poor single mother with no living parents or child support, compounded by no earning power. She was driven past the threshold of acceptable to the lifestyle of independent escort. Finally she had enough money and time to adequately care for her children. And to get to work on her books. Her penname is an homage to the sensual goddess and the mythical bird that rose free from the ashes of chaos and destruction. They symbolize her sex-positivity and her tragedy-turned-into-triumph. She lives by the sea, in Massachusetts.
