• Assuming the Position: A Memoir of Hustling (1999) (This book is listed here to be fair ... however, the sad picture he draws of the sex industry is not necessarily the only viewpoint.  If it's so hot in the kitchen, stop yah belly-aching get out ... -- or better yet, stick around and then write a depressing book about it down the road.)

• Sex for Sale (1999)
  Money, Sex, Danger and Power, it's all in a day's work for the typical sex worker. Sex for Sale provides a window into the world of sex workers, their customers, and the growing sex industry--in America and abroad. ¶A major contribution to our understanding of the sex industry, Sex for Sale is a collection of original essays on sex work, its risks, and its political implications. Covering areas not commonly researched, the book includes studies on telephone sex workers, gay pornography, Nevada's legal brothels, prostitute's customers, police vice squads, actors in the porn industry, lap dancing in strip clubs, and street prostitution. It includes discussion of violence, HIV infection, and drug addiction, as well as legalization, commercialization and criminalization. A unique addition to the literature, Sex for Sale examones all sides of the sex industry--both positive and negative--and will change the way we understand the sex industry.
