There are as many truths about the sex trades as there are people who participate in them. In our collection of creative nonfiction, people who have tangled with the sex industry write about the complications that have arisen in these vocations that mix sex and money. There are narrative accounts of love and loss, occupational hazards, tricks of the trade as well as personal stories of hope, resistance and survival. Pros(e) is a fiery collection by people who have walked the walk and are now telling their tales.
