One thing that struck me, even at such a young, tender and (becoming less) innocent (by the day) age was the Call Me Madam column. I mean, I had pictures - good, professional pictures - right in front of me. And yet I just couldn´t help but read Xaviera Hollander´s columns. Every time I struggled with myself - who wants to read words when I can just check out the fleshfest? Every time I lost the struggle, with my eyes returning to those lips at the column´s heading. Man, those pages were great.
No surprise I picked up Hollander´s THE HAPPY HOOKER and devoured it. Extremely entertaining, Hollander takes us through her whole sexual history, and what a history it is. After discovering sex, she just had to share the pleasure with everyone she met! The escapades in South Africa, teaching half the boys on a vacation island the ropes, experimenting with girls, the woman´s whole life was a preparation for entering, and conquering, the world´s oldest profession.
One thing that makes THE HAPPY HOOKER so fun is that Xaviera (may I call you by your first name, please) herself is having such a blast. So many books by those in the sex biz revolve around their pathologies, emotional traumas and daddy issues. That Xaviera did it, had a blast, and tells everyone around what a good time all that bonking really was really makes this book the classic. Give it to the sex grouches in your life and tell them to lighten up.. And summed up by saying She Sure Seems Happy To Me!. Currently The Happy Hooker: My Own Story has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Harper Paperbacks claimed How did you first learn about sex? If you grew up in the 1970s, it may have been from a gleefully lusty tour guide named Xaviera HollanderIn the late 1960s -- that era of sexual chaos, when Playboy Clubs and love-ins were competing for national attention -- a beautiful, intelligent young Dutch secretary named Xaviera de Vries moved to New York, grew swiftly tired of her desk job . . . and soon became the most visible and glamorous madam the city had ever seen. As Xaviera Hollander, she published a shockingly candid account of her life behind the brothel door. The Happy Hooker shot straight to the top of the bestseller lists, sold more than fifteen million copies, and made this enterprising young woman an international phenomenon. Thirty years later, these delightfully explicit tales of the ´60s and ´70s swingers´ scene -- including countless jaw-dropping stories of lesbianism, bondage, fetishism, and more -- remain as titillating as ever, charged with the mix of shrewd observation and uninhibited appetite that made Hollander an irresistible storyteller. The Happy Hooker is a classic: the world´s greatest book on the world´s oldest profession.
