Callgirl memoir
» Sex Workers
While studying at the Yale Divinity School, Jeanette Angell DIV '87 considered converting to the Episcopalian Church and becoming a priest. But when her job as a college lecturer in Boston left bills unpaid and creditors calling, Angell found a less than angelic solution -- working as a $200-an-hour callgirl.
Div grad bares all in Callgirl biography
Callgirl
When a bad boyfriend leaves with the contents of her checking account, professor and novelist Angell (The Illusionist; Wings; etc.) decides to stabilize her finances by responding to an ad seeking escorts. Surprisingly, the world she enters isn't all that different from the Boston dating scene she already knew; it's just far more lucrative. At least her clients are relatively clear about what they want, and Angell is able to teach by day and have "dates" by night for more than three years. Separation of her two worlds is crucial but not difficult: "what we do as prostitutes... does not constitute sex in our minds."

Jeannette Angell has outdone herself! I couldn’t put the book down! I think that almost every woman has fantasized in one time or another about being a callgirl.
My advice is to get a copy of the book, bundle up on the couch - and turn your telephone ringer off. Believe me - you won’t want to be disturbed!
Kudos to you, Jeannette Angell

Very enjoyable, because I also have a double life but with my boyfriend’s consent since I really enjoy sex with multiple partners, and if I get paid it adds to the pleasure. I am 23 and have had sex with quite a few men and enjoyed all of them though I am fortunate to receive my boyfriend’s support who sometimes refers guys who he knows I would fancy.
