Everyone thinks they know about prostitutes: whores sell their souls. Most are forced into "the trade." Mafia-like structures dominate the business. With such clichés and others, sex worker Undine de Rivière sets the record straight. She provides an unexpectedly nuanced insight into the world between BDSM studios, brothels, and gangbang parties, allowing colleagues, clients, operators, and experts to speak openly and honestly. An insider report on what goes on behind the scenes of an industry that is mostly surrounded by half-truths and blanket judgments— a strong appeal for the decriminalization of a controversial profession. "Most of the colleagues I have met are confident women who know exactly what they want." Undine de Rivière.
