Foreword

Prostitution, they say, is the oldest profession. We disagree. We say that salesmanship predates it. Because if that serpent, back in the Garden of Eden, didn't use salesmanship on Eve when he got her to take that bite in the apple that corrupted her, nobody ever sold anybody anything.

While there may be no glib-tongued serpents to corrupt our young ladies of today, the truth remains that growing numbers of our females still are being demoralized. In spite of the vast progress in the emancipation of their sex, young girls, and even older women, are still becoming prostitutes. In fact, an increasing number of teenagers are joining these ranks.

In many instances this influx is due to the inevitable link with narcotics. But psychologists, psychiatrists and even the law agree that it is not the only reason. These authorities know full well what these sisters of the street do and how they do it-but in many instances, the question is why they do it.

We can't speak for the majority. We can cite only one example-the case of Carol Francis, the leading character in Demoralized Virgin. We trace Carol's degradation from her very first sexual experience with a man old enough to be her father, through her exploits as a beautiful, much-sought-after, high-priced call girl. We share her heartaches and her disillusionments as well as her triumphs as we watch her fight valiantly to gain a respectability that she never really had, and try to realize what might very easily be termed "an impossible dream."

Demoralized Virgin is not a story of prostitution. It is the exciting step-by-step account of a lovely teenager's corruption and how she uses her breathtaking young body to full advantage to acquire the things that she wants-not always too successfully.

Demoralized Virgin is not a story that preaches, or even attempts to take sides. Instead, it is the vivid and realistic adventures of one of the thousands of young women who find themselves enmeshed in a web of circumstances far beyond their ability to cope with.

We are sure that the trials and tribulations of Carol Francis will not only thrill and shock you, but will also prove to be one of the most exciting and unforgettable experiences of a sexually obsessed young girl that you have ever read. We will feel rewarded, too, if within the framework of Demoralized Virgin, just one girl recognizes and successfully avoids the pitfalls that Carol Francis encounters, because not all girls may be so fortunate as Carol in arriving at a solution to their dilemma.
