Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

From the Sacred to the Profane

You won’t find this in the Kuwait Times – a book review in yesterday’s paper by Kimberly Marlowe Harnett on a book called Indecent: How I Make it and Fake it as a Girl for Hire by Sarah Katherine Lewis, a sex worker (the cleaned up job title for those who offer sex for hire). This reviewer got my attention. She wrote this:

“When Lewis’ customers are not utterly repulsive, they are profoundly pathetic, paying serious money to women who loathe them and who perform canned routines with an eye on the clock.”

The book’s author says conventional jobs pay less.

  1. Non-conventional jobs such as drug smuggling, get higher pay because its a simple economic equation of supply and demand. In India “sex workers” get paid less than a garbage collector.

  2. There’s also the risk factor. Maybe you can consider it danger pay.
