The Ethical Stripper

Sex, Work and Labour Rights in the Night Time Economy

By: Stacey Clare

Narrated by: Stacey Clare

Forget everything you think you know about strippers

In this powerful book, Stacey Clare, a stripper with over a decade of experience, takes a detailed look at the sex industry - the reality of the work as well as the history of licensing and regulation, feminist themes surrounding sex work, and stigma. Bringing her personal knowledge of the industry to bear, she offers an unapologetic critique and searing indictment of exploitation, and raises the rights of sex workers to the top of the agenda.

The Ethical Stripper rejects notions of victimhood, challenges stigma and shame, and unpacks decades of confusion and contradictions. It's about the sex-work community's fight for safety and self-determination, and it challenges you to think twice about every newspaper article, documentary, and film you have seen about stripping and sex work.

Not an Ethical Stripper Guide

This book's title gave me the impression it would be similar to ethical slut book of which provides guidance on how to maintain a solid moral code while also participating the poly scene. This book however feels more like an information and history accumulation. It focuses on strippers being victims I'm not a fan of that. I got through chapter 5 then decided to jump to the chapter titled hustlers, with the expectation, it would turn into, how to hustle clients while maintaining your own moral balance, but that was not the case. instead. It was a criticism towards the movie hustlers. I honestly don't care about that movie. I figured it was an exaggeration and did not deplact what true strip club hustlers are like because duh, it's Hollywood. Anyways if you are looking for a strippers guidance book, this is not it.
