Customer Reviews

Listen to the Madam

Okay so I was pretty young when I read this book (17) but seriously, it was very, very educational. I then shared it with my mom who's remarried and she also benefited from it. I recommend this book, it's very adult though, and think the chapter entitled SAT is very worthwhile reading. :) Bye

insightful perspective of why men [or anyone] strays

Frankly, I read it for purely prurient interests, expecting lots of juicy sex tips. I was amazed at the depth of the insights provided.I used to think that anyone who strays from a monogamous relationship is a cad, but after reading this book, I now see that both partners may be to blame.I am recently married and I shared many parts of the book with my husband. We were laughing out loud at the humor and descriptiveness in the book. The author is clever and quite funny. We were also amazed at the odd combination of high brow and low brow in her escort business.Since it is considered the oldest profession, there must be something compelling about it. I found it fascinating to consider why men indulge. I also recognized some of my own behavior patterns which could contribute to my husband being unfaithful.

If you want to know WHY men pay...

If you want to know some possible reasons why men would pay a large sum of money to spend time with a woman (most of the time is spent talking or doing things other than having sex), even though they may be good looking, have a wife or girlfriend at home, then this book will provide some answers.I don't think it's such a bad idea for women to get tips from a madam/call girl. Most of her ideas are logical: Take care of yourself once you have a man - don't let yourself go. Understand that, as unfair as it may be, that men want you to look as good as when you met, even though he may have lost his hair and gained weight!These women are temporary fantasies. They don't complain about the kids, their jobs, the housework or anything else when these men show up. It's unfair, yes, but that is why the men are willing to pay to escape reality for a little while. Sometimes, men keep a mistress for the same reasons.Personally, I wasn't offended by the book at all. In fact, it gave me a few ideas on how to spice up my love life BEFORE my man strays!
