About this product

Product Information

When Harvard medical student Alexa Albert conducted a public-health study as the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada, the only state in the union where prostitution is legal, neither she nor the brothel could have predicted the end result. Having worked with homeless prostitutes in Times Square, Albert was intimate with human devastation cause by the sex trade, and curious to see if Nevada's brothels offered a less harmful model for a business that will always be with us. The Mustang Ranch has never before given an outsider such access, but fear of AIDS was hurting the business, and the Ranch was eager to get publicity for its rigorous standards of sexual hygiene. Albert was drawn into the lives of the women of the Mustang Ranch, and what began as a public-health project evolved into something more intimate and ambitious, a six-year study of the brothel ecosystem, its lessons and significance. The women of the Mustang Ranch poured their stories out to Albert: how they came to be there, their surprisingly deep sense of craft and vocation, how they reconciled their profession with life on the outside. Dr. Albert went as far into this world as it is possible to go - some will say too far - including sitting in on sessions with customers, and the result is a book that puts an unforgettable face on America's maligned and caricatured subculture.

Reviews
"This well-written, non-judgmental, informative book helps to replace ignorance with understanding concerning the lives and attitudes of women involved in legal prostitution, as well as their customers. It could serve as a light at the end of a very long tunnel, and form the basis of both moral and legal discussions about prostitution in the future." - M. Joycelyn Elders, M.D.

    Expected Fire, got too much sympathy......

    Was looking forward to reading all about the ups and downs of brothels, but instead got a fairly bland, almost sanitized book about the woes and problems facing women in the brothels along with the owners. The writer spends way too much time feeling sorry for the prostitutes and trying to defend them, even when talking about married men coming to these brothels. Not at all what I expected. The long drawn out political defenses were ho hum as well.

    Interesting & Informative Read

    Details the lives of the prostitutes that have lived and worked in the legal Nevada brothels. Looks into many issues that surround prostitutes and the brothels. Explores the lifestyles of the prostitutes, before, during and after life in the brothel. Describes safe sex practices & stats on STDs in the brothels. Very informative read! I highly reccomend this book to anyone studying medicine, nursing or people who are interested in learning about people in all situations.
