Description

Her curiosity began as a teenager, with an awareness of her body and the reaction other people had to it.

It continued with the realization that women's bodies often gave them a strange power over men.

As an adult, it became a fascination with professional sex workers, leading to a plunge into their world. Bare follows the author and her fellow dancers through Seattle strip clubs and bachelor parties, exploring in riveting detail Eaves's own motivations and behaviour, as well as those of her coworkers, as they make their way through the sometimes exhilarating, often disturbing world of stripping.

This compelling, revealing memoir exposes the reader to that world behind the flashing lights and offers illuminating insights into the reasons women take up this work,and how it affects their identities and lives off the job.In its unstinting honesty, Bare demands that we take a closer look at the way sexuality is viewed in our culture what, if anything, constitutes "normal" desire the ethics of swapping money,or anything else,for sex and how women and men navigate the perilous contradictions and double standards that make up today's socio-sexual conversation.
