Unashamed: Why do people pay for sex? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798338847060)

Elizabeth G. was twenty-two years old and travelling around Australia when she came across a job opportunity at an erotic massage parlour in Sydney. Fast forward eighteen years and she had built up a trusted list of regular clientele working as a high-end London escort and was frequenting some of the city's most exclusive hotels.

This is an inspirational story of resilience and self-belief in the face of adversity. It gives a fascinating insight into what it's like to work week in and week out as a sex worker and how it feels to hide who you are from your friends and family. It's about understanding why a person would pay for sex in the first place. It's about the positive effects of sex work. It's about love, connection, nurture and healing. It's about change. It's about acceptance. It's about hitting rock bottom and picking yourself back up, time and time again. It's about growth, embracing the struggles and learning from your mistakes. And, above all, it's about breaking through the barriers of shame, and staying true to yourself no matter what.

In shedding a spotlight on the sex industry, Elizabeth hopes to challenge the misconceptions and shame surrounding sex work, and to help provide better protection for those who are forced into the industry as a result.

Unashamed is a no-holds-barred, taboo-busting account of the life of a sex worker, and what it's like to build a highly successful career in a multimillion-pound industry that exists largely in the shadows. If you want to feel inspired and embrace yourself as a sex worker, or develop an understanding of the profession, or you simply want to eradicate shame in any aspect of your personal life, then look no further.

"A raw and honest portrayal of life as a sex worker, tackling taboos, reframing the social narrative, and fighting for a new era of women's liberty with courage and clarity."
Chris Riches, The Daily Express

- "No other book breaks down the barriers of shame and offers such a realistic insight into the impacts of sex work for society and also the women involved. It's an eye-opening read on many levels."
Richard Moriarty, The Sun

"An unrivalled and unmissable account of the sex industry."
National News

"Campaigning for change and an end to the shame associated with sex work, Elizabeth G. is a daring suffragette for the sex industry."

About the Author
Formerly one of London's highest-paid escorts, Elizabeth G. is now a "suffragette for the sex industry", campaigning for sex workers' rights. Raised on a farm in rural Bedfordshire, she progressed from a marketing career into the lucrative world of the sex industry when funds ran low, and has never looked back. Over the course of her career, Elizabeth has evolved from a self-confessed hedonist to the sober and financially independent businesswoman she is today. In sharing her story, she hopes to eradicate the shame for those who love working in the sex industry and help provide better protection for those who not only enjoy the industry but also those who are forced into it. Unashamed is her first book. Five percent of proceeds will be donated to national charity Refuge.
