ABSTRACT

I’ve experienced [diverse forms of sex], but I’m convinced my decision [to enter prostitution] was right. Although I started it because I was so hurt [by unconsummated love], I was able to meet many different men and see the real world, a world that was different from the ideal story I had been made to believe . . . Psychiatry was bad for my soul, but prostitution was good for me. Those people who tell you that you’ll regret it one day don’t really know it, they don’t know anything-I will never regret having done this. I’m not selling my dignity and I’m not humiliating myself. I’ve regained my pride [through prostitution] and sometimes, I feel superior [to these men who pay me for sex].
