It’s no surprise that some of the best selling literary genres out there would include ‘biographies’ as well. Usually recognised as works of non-fiction and the portrayal of a person’s experience, biographies are pretty much a very diverse genre on their own. There are plenty of biographies to read, including those of award winning scholars, average individuals who have overcome adversity, biographies of famous actors and singers... as well as escorts. If you're an escort looking to know more about the lives of others in the adult industry, or you're simply wondering what the adult industry can be like, take a look at these:
A Memoir Of A Male Escort - Secrets Of The Sex Industry - Ryan James
Ryan James is a native Aussie male escort who made his transition from finance to escorting and eventually to the adult film industry. In his book, he writes about what it’s actually like being a male escort, the places and people he has come across, the relationships he’s had, and his very harrowing experience with emotional and physical abuse. One of the main reasons for Ryan releasing his book according to his interview with https://www.whimn.com.au is, “If telling my story can help someone else, then I want to do whatever I can to pass on what I’ve learned to others.”
10,000 Men And Counting - Gwyneth Montenegro
Well known Aussie Gwyneth Montenegro, who was once a former escort, writes in her biography about how she went from a religious and conservative family to becoming a high end escort. Although the book was released in 2014, all current escorts and those thinking of becoming one could benefit from Montenegro’s book as she lifts the veil on what it’s really like to be an escort in the sex industry from such a young age. From her experience of experimenting with drugs, to getting into a car accident, to spending thousands of dollars on clothes, cars and apartments, it’s no doubt that ‘10,000 Men And Counting’ is a real page turner.
Hooked - The Salacious Secrets Of Samantha X - Samantha X
Deemed as Australia’s most high-profile escort according to https://www.news.com.au, Samantha X released a quirky biographical take in 2016 on escorting and what it was like being a 35 year old mother of two. She had it all writing for Australia’s top women's magazines but chose to give that up to try her hand working at one of Sydney’s most infamous brothels. From being involved with married men, lesbians and the occasional married couple, 'Hooked' is a fun read and gives readers a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the world of escorting seen from a different perspective. Samantha X, who goes by her real name, Amanda Goff, also released a sequel called ‘Back On Top: Confessions Of A High-Class Escort’ shortly after.
