Product Description

The Brothel Bible, by Sisters of the Heart, is a general introduction to the legal Brothel Industry in Nevada -- revealing what goes on behind those closed Cathouse doors and peeling away the mystique that has shrouded the Brothel World for decades.

One former working girl wrote the book from her own four years of personal "hands-on" experiences as a legal Nevada prostitute in a variety of Brothel environments. She has also interspersed stories from other working girls throughout the book.

The book is written conversationally -- directly from diaries and also includes more objective reviews of various Brothel facilities, procedures, medical testing, management, as well as descriptions of customers, working girls and activities.

The Brothel Bible addresses the issues of cultural stigmas placed on working girls. The author states that these girls and woman are people with the same emotions, problems, needs, wants and desires as anyone else. They are brought to their jobs by circumstance and choice, to fulfill emotional as well as financial needs, wants and desires.

The girls are simply coping with the changes in their lives -- lured to the glitz of Nevada, just like everyone else, by the seduction of quick money, the allure and excitement of living out glamorous fantasies, as well as being caught up in addictions and unfinished emotional traumas from the past -- concluding that each of us have our own brothels to overcome, our own bondage to sex, love, fantasy, intrigue and addictions.

Review
"It was a pleasure to have you on the program to talk about your book Brothel Bible: The Cathouse Experience and also about your life as a former prostitute. The conversation we had was most interesting, and as I was finishing up talking to you I realized that we have simply scratched the surface concerning your four years inside a brothel. For those of us who have never ventured into such an establishment, the unknown and forbidden often draws the greatest curiosity. Being on our show was an eye opener for many of our listeners." -- Peter Anthony Holder, Host, CJAD Tonight, 800 AM, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, August 12, 1997

"The road to the Brothel Bible-- Determined to share her story, to show that the girls are people, she printed the pages out on her ink jet printer, and bound them together using her hot glue gun from Wal-Mart. A few months later, she has a distributor and has been on television and radio shows, as well as book stores promoting her book. -- Deana Di Dio, Writer, Las Vegas Senior Press, September 1997

Although she is a relatively new author, her book is doing quite well, satisfying the public's curiosities about prostitutes, brothels, and sex. As a book seller, I can honestly say, that most books I come into contact with do not have this sort of sales potential nor is it worth such noteworthy national attention, but I honestly believe that this book and its author are definitely qualified candidates. -- Monica L. Miceli, Community Relations Coordinator, Border's Books Shop and Cafe, Las Vegas, Nevada, July 15, 1997

Cathouse details cause weekend interruptus. It takes a special assignment to draw the interest of a reporter on a Saturday afternoon. Normally, a book- signing doesn't do it. Unless, of course, the book happens to be The Brothel Bible. The other members of the group, mostly men, sat as attentively as a group of world scientists at a forum on Martian microbes. I listened for more than an hour. The men seemed fascinated with the details of the world's oldest profession. -- Bob Shemeligian Columnist, Las Vegas Review Journal, Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas, August 19, 1997

Here, for the first time, is an informative guide to Nevada's legal brothel industry. So if you have ever wondered what Nevada's licensed brothel industry is all about, The Brothel Bible is the one book that tells all; in fact it is the only book. -- Daniel R. Mead, Loose Change Magazine, Las Vegas, Nevada, May, 1997

Ruby explains brothel etiquette, reveals how management keeps the girls tightly under wraps and debunks the harsh stereotypes society has of working girls' -- Newsmaker Interviews, Beverly Hills, California, September, 1997

From the Inside Flap
The Brothel Bible has been compiled by Sisters of the Heart, former working girls, who have experienced life in the legal Brothel Industry of Nevada. We have chosen to compile this information for those men and women out there who are simply curious, for those that have never frequented a legal Brothel, and for those customers who want to experience the true inner sanctums of our private world. Our source of information has come from our own personal experiences, research and diaries. We have written this book to break down that unspoken Mystique that seems to surround the Brothel Industry.

We have seen, heard, watched, listened, observed and absorbed experiences throughout these years by working alongside girls from all walks of life, and servicing customers from around the world. We have worked in a variety of environments, north and south, from plush houses with tiffany chandeliers, to run down double-wide trailers. Sometimes we've even found ourselves imprisoned in Brothels with locked gates, boarded windows and armed guards. Sometimes, we've lived like a Princess and sometimes like a Pauper. We've been higher than a kite, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to being desperate, lonely and broke, living from motel to motel, or out of our cars.

As we write these words today, the feelings and memories of our experiences are alive within us. They range from satisfaction and excitement to resentment and rage. It is our desire to share these diverse emotions with you. This is not a clinical examination or objective review of Brothels. This is The Cathouse Experience and our goal of communicating it would fall short of it's mark if we were to sterilize and objectify what we have written.

We hope you enjoy the old time illustrations we found which we have used throughout this book. We thought they were fun. Since as authors we are remaining anonymous, so will our acknowledgments. But those of you who have contributed know who you are and our heart embraces each and every one of you -- for we are all Sisters of the Heart.

Customer Reviews

Working Girl Realism
Part instruction manual and part memoir, the reader is immersed into the secret world of "Brotheldom" from a bordello worker's point of view. Compiled from the actual writings of former working girls, the writing is crude and honest, neither glorifying nor degrading. Our tour guide spent four years working in the legal Nevada brothels beginning when she was 44. It is through her remembrance of past customers, coworkers, and experiences, she tells us what it is like to live with a diverse bunch of women, competing for customers, sleeping when you can, and while making thousands in the world's oldest profession. The points of view benefit both those curious about visiting, as well as those who are just curious; told in both second and first person. If you can get past the bad syntax, grammatical errors, and lack of organization, the insider info found here could help you save money; these girls know all the tricks, it's their job. The use of quotes around such terms as "blow job" and "gets off" along with 20's style illustrations and a glossary of sexy terms bring a tongue in cheek feel to the book, sure to leave you standing at attention.

Really bad!
I thought this would be an interesting book. Little did I know that it would be SO POORLY written and edited. If this (or these) lady(ies) were serious about informing the populace on the "ins and outs" of prostitution, they should have had someone with at least a high school education do the writing for them. The "quotes" around so many words were distracting and highly unnecessary. The punctuation and spelling were horrid. Forget it, ladies. NO ONE is going to take you seriously after THIS experience!

No Stars
Written by prostitutes with, evidently, the minds of young children distracted by television....so little insight, so little concrete detail, a narrative that reads as though readers have never heard of prostitution or its attending acts...these are the _good points_ of this very silly publication.
