Review & Description
“Intimate Acts with Strangers” (359 pages) is an “erotobiography” -- a graphic, sexual memoir of “Bessie”, a middle-class, married woman with children living in Billings, Montana. Bessie, like many women, has a long-standing fascination with what makes some sex workers irresistible to men. At thirty-five, she decides to find out if she could have sex with strangers for money and fulfill their erotic fantasies. She moves from Montana to Seattle and quickly becomes one of the most celebrated escorts in the city. In the process, she finds liberation, love, and personal power.
Tens of millions of American women are reading Fifty Shades of Grey (and other graphic erotica) and most of their partners are either unaware of it, or they don’t care to find out why. Tens of millions of American men visit prostitutes (far more than most people think) and most of their partners are either unaware of it, or they don’t care to find out why. Both men and women should consider reading “Intimate Acts with Strangers” to get some insight into why these two solitudes exist to the extent that they do.
This uniquely candid memoir makes frequent use of on-the-scene tape recordings transcribed by Bessie’s lover and client, Zachary. Bessie and Zachary take you on a fascinating journey through the largely unexamined world of apartment-based sex workers and the unexplored motives of the men visiting these women. Along the way, you’ll meet some of Bessie’s strange and interesting co-workers: “The Perfect Pulchritudinous Poonette”, “Bonnie from Boisie”, and “Evangelina, The Stiletto Throwing Brazilian”. As well, you meet some of Bessie’s even stranger clients: “The Balloon Man”, “The Cowboy Princess”, “Obsequious Otis”, “Walter Welter”, and other types of clients such as, the “Frozen Fetishists”, the “Silent Sphinxes”, the “Miserable Misogynists”, and more.
Are the Bessies of America the only women who can satisfy these diverse clients and their hidden desires? And do women have to turn to erotic literature to fill their unmet needs? Or are there ways both parties can come together to access each other’s fantasy worlds? If you have an interest in opening up the dialogue between you and your partner about your sex life, this book is a great discussion starter. As well, if you are a sexually liberated man or woman, you’ll get a really sweet sexual charge out of many of the scenes in this book (and you might be able to put some of that charge into your own sex life). For instance, you’ll get to watch and listen to what really goes on at a men’s stag party and experience the stimulating after-effects.
Unfortunately, if you have no desire to understand the opposite sex better (because you think you already know what they want), this book may not be for you. Or, if you’ve already decided that prostitution is always evil, and all the men and women that participate in it are immoral, you’re not likely to change your mind unless you can suspend your judgement while reading it.
The mass media won’t tell you what prostitutes and their customers are really like, or more importantly, why prostitution exists to the extent it does. But when the Bessies of America read this memoir, they’ll say:
“At last, someone wrote a book that tells what it’s really like behind my apartment door.”
When you read it, you’ll say:
“At last, I understand why those apartment doors exist.”
