    About this ebook

    Niche marketing is what the sex industry is all about. There’s something for everyone.
    In fact, there’s a bewildering variety of different services available.

    Sex performers come in many and different guises and offer a range of services - from just looking and enjoying to body-to-body sexual contact. The nine sex performers who tell their tales from inside the industry range from strippers and centerfold model to male and female prostitutes and a dominatrix.

    Some of what these sex performers have to say is surprising. It’s surprising because we don’t expect them to say such things – we all have our stereotypes about what ‘sort’ of person ends up in the sex industry. These performers are people and they happen to offer their bodies, in various ways, for others to look at, touch, feel and experience. Their experiences of these sex encounters are sometimes funny, sometimes sad – but they’re always confronting. These sex performers offer an intimate service, for financial gain and sometimes as a means of exploring their sexuality, with what nature has given them.

    Author

    Zoya Carmen

    I’m a writer who likes to research her topics. I pride myself on getting an ‘inside’ view by having conversations with people – and offering their perspectives to my readers without judgment or prejudice. Often the people I interview lead the sorts of lives that many of us have only read about – or might imagine in our private fantasies. Whether I'm having conversations with sex performers or men and women confessing about their casual sex encounters, there will always be something to surprise and delight the reader. My non-fiction is derived from conversations and background research. My fiction comes out of these encounters and my imagination – that part of our minds that can run wild and untamed, if we can let it.

      The Last Word

      Introduction

      Niche marketing is what the sex industry is all about. There’s something for everyone. In fact, there’s a bewildering variety of different services available.

      Want to look? Strippers? Take your pick from peepshows, table dancing, pole dancing, strippergrams, jelly wrestling, lingerie lunches. Want some hot and heavy talk? Call that phone sex hotline. Maybe you’d like a massage with no sex, massage with sextras, sex without massage. Maybe the sex you want is male-female, male-male, female-female or transsexual. Perhaps you’d like the top-end of the industry and the service from a high-class hooker in a five-star hotel, or maybe you like the thrill of budget priced blow jobs in dangerous back alleys.

      No problems. There’s a service for everyone. And, just to make it easy, most major credit cards are accepted. Worried about your partner finding out about your sexual forays? Worry no more. Most establishments have the sensitivity to use innocuous pseudonyms for those who pay by credit card.

      Not everyone is what – or who – they seem. Not those involved in the adult entertainment business and not their clients. Working girls and working guys use false names and so do some clients.

      And then there are the strict demarcations. Generally speaking, strippers don’t provide a sexual service. Some prostitutes don’t kiss, but the strippergram gal might.

      What the adult entertainment business is selling is the fantasy of sex. What the client buys is that fantasy. Perhaps it’s not surprising that the most requested costume for strippergrams is the police uniform, together with handcuffs and batons. And it’s perhaps not surprising that many high-class prostitutes who work out of hotel lobbies and bars introduce themselves with the ‘I’m a flight attendant’ line.

      You’ll meet women and men who work in the sex industry in different capacities. What you’ll learn from their stories is how knowledgeable they are about human nature and how smart you have to be if you’re going to make a success out of being a sex performer.

      We’ve all heard terrible stories about women and men being exploited in the sex industry. This book is not about those women and men.

      In this book, you’ll read those stories from women and men who have chosen to take up life as a sex performer of one kind or another – strippergram girl, exotic dancer, male stripper, transsexual prostitute, phone sex operator, high-class call girl, centerfold, dominatrix and male prostitute. Mostly they’ve made this choice for financial reasons, but occasionally it has given them the means to explore their own sexuality.

      One

      Keely - Strippergram girl

      Keely’s stage is any place where she’s asked to perform a strippergram. Her stage is a moveable one and sometimes it’s a pleasant environment and other times it’s not so pleasant, but she laughs and says, ‘That’s life.’

      ‘I’m a stripper, not a dancer. And my performance is a combination of things. It’s part sex act and part comedy and part getting the audience enthused. You’ve got to whip up that sense of excitement and have them yelling and clambering for more! When you have that atmosphere, I know I’ve done my job well.’

      Keely says that pacing her performance is everything. When she first started out, her nerves drove her to perform too quickly, but she learnt that you need to pace things and build it up – to a point of excitement. But on her first night, she says she was rushing through her songs and routine and thinking, ‘Get me out of here!’

      Much to her surprise, even that first performance was a hit and she hasn’t looked back. Keely has that delicate complexion that belongs exclusively to natural redheads. She says that her coloring is a point of difference, something that she can capitalize on. Not everyone can boast a milky white skin, deep green eyes and flaming red hair.

      ‘I guess people are pretty forgiving. I mean if they’ve hired you they want to enjoy your performance, so they’re not going to be too fussy. Also, I think my first-night nerves distorted how I was doing. Obviously, I was doing better than I thought.’

      Keely had spent a week being tutored on her moves and while she might not have felt ready, she may well have underestimated her power as a performer. After a year, she’s doing six performances on a busy night and luckily for her, requests vary.

      ‘The variety means you don’t get bored. I’ve also worked on changing even the most popular routines so they are kind of fresh. You never know when you’re going to be performing in front of the same people. So I might be a nurse in a short, tight, skimpy uniform or the sexy policewoman, or the saucy French maid or the shy librarian who lets down her hair and gets all her gear off when she’s moved by the music. The dominatrix theme goes down well, although at first some people visibly cower as you produce your whip! You psyche yourself up and go into this role and then it’s easy. I’m so experienced now that I can trust myself to just make up routines as I go. Kind of using the context and atmosphere to inspire me.’

      Keely is a 21 year old college student who is working towards her dream – becoming a nurse. While she studies hard, she also works hard and is much more financially secure than her peers.

      ‘For me, it’s easy to be a student and a strippergram girl. The two things are not mutually exclusive. People have some funny ideas about who does this sort of job. Well, it’s anyone who has some theatrical flair, can sing a little, move well to music and want to make money. Of course, you also have to have a good body. That’s part of the basic job description.’

      For Keely, who says she was a shy child, her choice of work as a sex performer may seem unusual. But in her teenage years, she says she blossomed and people started to comment on how sexy she looked. By the time she was 17, she says she was very confident, particularly sexually confident, knowing people would look at her and admire her. She noticed the looks she got from men and knew she had some power to attract.

      ‘Getting all my clothes off was daunting at first, but I did it pretty easily. I guess I’m very confident about my body. Not all the jobs require a full strip but when they do, it’s no big deal. I get paid extra to take my top and my bottom off, so it’s very financially rewarding.’

      When people book a strippergram they’re booking a fun, sexy
