Foreword

Although this work is non-fiction, every attempt has been made by the author to protect the identity of everyone inside the covers. Further, the girls who cover the conventions and make themselves available to the men, were all pleased at the idea of expressing themselves and telling about the life and times of Convention Hookers. The men ... well, they liked the idea of being in a book, too. A great number of the men who were interviewed had an idea that I should pay for them their services in one way or another, however.

Which says a lot. Prostitution is still considered a woman's field, regardless of the growing number of male hookers. And most of the men who are in the business feel superior to the women.
