Hooked: The Secrets of a High Class Call Girl Kindle Edition

I admit that this kindlebook that is Hooked: The Salacious Secrets of Samantha X: Sydney’s Top High Class Call Girl by Samantha X definitely has some wild and outrageous moments in this memoir. The way that the author describes a multiple number of her client/customer encounters and her candid feelings about the money made give a revealing glimpse on her life employed in legalized prostitution in Australia. The author is also honest in how her personal and professional life in both journalism and prostitution shaped what she shares about in this kindlebook that is Hooked The Secrets of a High Class Call Girl . I admit that despite this kindlebook being set in Australia via legalized prostitution, it helped me guess some of the reasons why my late biological mother might have voluntarily chose to work as a prostitute in the U.S. despite the social stigma and danger associated with the field in the U.S.. Because of this disclosure, I prefer to try to remain unbiased about prostitution as possible though I do admit that if prostitution was ever legalized in the U.S. that I hope some rules are established to where prostitutes who are mothers are assigned a social worker with a law enforcement professionals/law enforcement employees to check in with the child andor children on a weekly basis (which could also create more certain probabilities/circumstances in also identifying and/or confirming the identities of the fathers of the children). I admit that my sentiment in this is indirectly shaped by the knowledge that my late biological mother died young in 2003 around the age of 38 and along with her death died certain knowledge/certain confirmation on the certain identity of my biological father because of her lifestyle. However, the author Samantha X appears to have voluntarily worked in prostitution well after her children came into this world and it appears that there is probably obviously full knowledge/complete understanding on their father’s identity.

I found this book to be equally disempowering to men and women. The author completely dissociates the consequences and harm of her actions. It is at its best cognitive dissonance and worst immoral. I am not religious. I am completely for the empowerment of female sexuality, but you don't have to become a prostitute to empower yourself or your daughter. Teach her that her worth isn't defined by her virginity. Teach her she may have a threesome if she so wishes, or join a swingers club with her husband if she is so inclined. Those are voluntary choices between consenting adults where your spouse and children aren't exposed to a lifetime of emotional torture, as opposed to prostitution. Teach her about toys and self-gratification. Don't teach her that partaking in lies and betrayal of love and trust and vows is a virtue to be aspired to. Teach your son that it is normal to need love and emotional support. Learn him to communicate his needs rather than reducing him to a product of selfish biological urges over which he has no more control than an animal. Teach him the virtue of love and honesty. Teach him he can be better than the generations before him. Hold him to a higher standard. Hold yourself to a higher standard.I bought this book to gain some insight both into the world of the prostitute and that of their clients. I have always considered myself an equal rights person, having had to overcome my own past.While the book certainly gives insight, it is very one-sided and judgemental in many instances, and I personally find it very difficult to empathise with you, even in instances where it is definitely due. While you pride yourself on not judging your clients and having a good work ethic, you are judging women, wives and marriages you never met or cared to explore. Not all marriages are loveless or sexless. Some are marred by addiction and abuse. Many women adore their husbands and love sex, but unfortunately that doesn't make them immune to betrayal and the humiliation bestowed on them by many of your clients and which you willing partake in, not because life didn't give you alternative options but because of a cognitive choice you made.Are you a bad mother to your children based on your occupation? Hardly. The drug dealer in your book was also an excellent father. However, as much as the drug dealer ruins marriages, childhoods, health and cause tremendous financial turmoil and disaster to other families, so do you. You don't choose the drug or the addiction, but you make it readily available at the right price never considering the harm it does to women (you claim to empower with your life choices) or children you claim to care so much about.The armed robber and murderer may also be providing for their family, but it cannot be morally justifiable by anyone, or at the very least shouldn't if our society isn't to fall on a state of decay.You built your life thriving on the money, compliments and time these (mostly) unfaithful men spent on you while never noticing how you contribute to their wives being deprived of those essential components of a successful and happy marriage. Perhaps the same amount of effort would have been well received in their marriages and the lifes of their children? Perhaps if the successful businessman spent the hour(s) of quality time with their family each week rather than drug-fueled sexcapades they would have found people waiting for them to come home, to love them and to make love to them? Maybe if they are more vulnerable with their wives rather than prostitutes they pay per hour they will find intimacy that won't end with a buzzer?Your book makes it clear that you fear judgement, both of yourself and your family, but yet you don't seem to have the same standard when passing it onto others. You may opt to call yourself a high class call girl, it remains prostitution. A rose called by any other name would smell as sweet. Glamourising the industry for the sake of selling a book and making girls believe they have to reduce their bodies to a commodity to be used, abused and even raped by men is no more ethical or moral than the journalists you judge. Personally I feel those personal and journalistic ethics could have been well used to tell the story of your clients, but also their families. Isn't the core or journalism to tell both sides of a story, to give a right of reply?Please note: this book is written from the perspective of a female escort servicing mainly male clients, as is this review. I am well aware that although this is the traditional view, it is becoming increasingly common among both sexes. The consequences and outcomes remain the same.

The best book about sex work I've read so far! Being a sex worker myself, I found the book the most realistic and truthful of all. She is explaining all positive and negative aspects of being in sex industry. The language is very professional, and I absolutely loved the absence of so called "juicy", or I'd rather say sleazy graphic details of multiple encounters with men. Samantha is a very intelligent woman who faces her challenges without wining and screaming about being victimized and how unfair life is. Her sadness regarding certain injustices very quickly gives way to hope and positive attitude. I also loved the fact that unlike most escorts, Samantha does not claim to be super sexy and gorgeous, (something that truly annoyed me while reading other escort memoirs). Finally, mentioning time-wasters and harassers trying to make things harder for us is something that others ladies hardly ever bring up. Yes, those are a real nuisance! Great job Samantha! Thank you so much for sharing your story and telling them all that we are not uneducated degraded junkies but loving caring mothers, smart women and regular human beings.:)

Possible to get my money refunded???!!! I didn't finish reading the book. I was not offended, the book just wasn't good.

She is right...men do have a lot going on inside their head! Women need to recognise this and listen! I know we get caught up in the humdrum of life but we need to make the effort to turn our men on and make them want us! Rock out the stockings and the sex toys ladies!

A great book - very interesting and very well written - Samantha's stories of the sex industry are incredible and I found this to be one of the very best books I've ever read - she has so much to say and I know you'll find it very interesting too - definitely read this book !

Very well written and incredibly entertaining- I couldn’t put it down and immediately purchased her second book which I read back to back with this one! Hope she writes another one soon!

Interesting reading. You could see that it was all very frank and straight.It met my expectations and gave me a good insight into the escort life and biz.

Book was ok

A fun read that will have your heart racing, mind reeling and empathy tickled.Earthiness and honesty you don't find in print very often. It's a wild ride (pun intended) and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. I feel better about myself as a mother and feel Amanda and I would be kick ass friends at the school drop off. There's courage in these pages, and it's refreshing to see it unfiltered.

I was enjoying the kindle book until the the last third or so. Suddenly there were several pages missing in countless different spots, so I could not make head or tail of what she was saying. This happened countless times. Also a bad quality of English grammar, with misspellings and similar, again in the last third of the book.Such poor quality for the price it was. Disappointing.
