They're PhDs and dropouts, soccer moms and jailbirds, $2,500-a-night call girls and $10 crack hos, and everything in between. This anthology lends a voice to an underrepresented population that is simultaneously reviled and worshipped.<BR><BR><I>Hos, Hookers, Call Girls, and Rent Boys</I> is a collection of short memoirs, rants, confessions, nightmares, journalism, and poetry covering life, love, work, family, and yes, sex. The editors gather pieces from the world of industrial sex, including contributions from art-porn priestess Dr. Annie Sprinkle, Tracy Quan (author of <I>Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl</I>), best-selling memoirist David Henry Sterry (<I>Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent</I>), women and men right off the streets, girls participating in the first-ever National Summit of Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth, and Ruth Morgan Thomas, one of the organizers of the European Sex Work, Human Rights, and Migration Conference. <BR><BR>Sex is a billion-dollar industry.
