The Girl Next Door

The Truth Behind Closed Doors: A Professional Escort Bares AllFrom her first awkward encounters giving hand jobs in California massage parlors to the high-stakes demands of wealthy men, Tiffany Michaels exposes emotional complexities and bizarre sexual predilections behind closed doors in hotels and motels with your kid's soccer coach, your pastor, maybe even your husband. Her fearless memoir reveals the hidden lives of professional sex workers-and the men who seek sexual gratification in exchange for hundred-dollar bills.

With raw honesty and surprising humor, Tiffany shares her journey from Catholic high school and her first sexual encounter with her boyfriend to seedy massage parlors and a legal Nevada brothel at the Cathouse featured in the HBO special, to classy freelancing in elite hotel bars. She recalls her encounters with Japanese yakuza in Hawaii, a Colombian drug lord, a Saudi prince, influential clients in New York penthouses, truly unusual sexual practices some men expected, the cross-dressers you'd never imagined, the sex toys they brought with them, and rough-and-tumble oil field workers in North Dakota.

Raising two children as a single mom, Tiffany navigated this shadow world without drugs, a pimp, or being assaulted-witnessing firsthand how the industry evolved from Yellow Pages ads to Backpage.com. Tiffany dismantles stereotypes about hookers and escorts and challenges societal double standards in a victimless crime, the world's oldest profession.

Prepare to be shocked. Prepare to laugh. Prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about sex behind closed doors. Prepare to be titillated by the shockingly honest account of a life most people never encounter and always wanted to know about.
