Beach season is upon us, which means it’s time to exploit the opportunity to read trashy books free of judgement. Gone are the days when it was protocol to leave ashtrays out for your houseguests, but you’d have to hide your copy of Valley of the Dolls. Nope, these days sexless secretaries commuting in pantyhose and sneakers can ride public transit proudly rocking a real (not Kindle) copy of Fifty Shades, because she’s advertising her deeply buried kinky side.

If a terribly-written BDSM novel by a layperson is at the top of the bestseller list, I’m thinking ACTUAL sex workers can do better; or we can simply indulge in penning one of these cheesy hypothetical sex worker reads (warning, political incorrectness to follow).

The Hooker Booker: Sympathetic tale of a former escort who is washed up and is now a phone madam.

Recession Concessions: A girl slides into sex work due to the bad economy, repeatedly loosening her boundaries to secure cash flow.

Scarlet the Harlot: A Southern Belle escort with a penchant for all things Gone With The Wind. Responds well to nickname “Katie Scarlet.”

The Prostitution Solution: an 8 part series on solving your financial woes through the ‘oldest profession.'” Advertised as a late night infomercial on adult TV channels.

From Exotic to Psychotic: a naive exotic dancer’s descent in to madness. (The industry will of course be blamed & vilified if written by a civilian, but I’ll try and beat them to it.)

How to Accept Being Kept: a guide for women who rely 100% on a man who won’t marry them and could disappear at whim.
