As I said, there were disadvantages. It wasn't always easy being a sexually promiscuous woman in this society. There were times when I had to deal with people's anger, their greed, their fear and hate, their prejudice, their misogyny, their judgements and stupid laws.

(Annie begins caressing and sucking dildos, which are mounted on a board.)

Hmmm.... Where to start....

(This scene begins seductively and becomes increasingly ugly.)

(Tape plays) (listen to MP3, or Real Audio 14.4 or 28k)
(Sound of sirens.) "Deeper, deeper, come on. Deep throat it. I'm the best, right baby?" "You love it cunt." "Want a ride little girl?" "Don't stop now -- I know I can come one more time." "I paid you so do what I tell you." "Ow, stop! That hurts." "God will strike you dead. Resist temptation." "She just promotes violence towards women." "I want to go home now." "But I spent over $45 on dinner. The least you could do is give me a blow job." "I don't want to." "Just do it." "Faster, don't stop." "Hey sweet thing, sit on my face." "Cut, cut. If you're going to insist on using a condom in this scene then you can just get off the set... and without pay." "They found her body at the side of the road but because she was a prostitute no one cared." "You know, I hear that he bit off her clit." "$60, no way! You're not worth $60!" "Don't tell my wife." "You're under arrest for conspiracy to commit sodomy punishable by 12 years in prison." "I hope she gets AIDS - she deserves it." "Where's my cut, whore?" "I'm exhausted." "Do it. Do it like they do in the movies, come on." "I can't do this anymore." "It's not herpes; it's just a blister. Suck it." "What did she expect, the way she was dressed?" "She'll have sex with anyone." "She's such a whore." (Various overlapping sounds, whistles, catcalls, crying...)

(Annie cries, chokes, spits.)

(Annie walks back to vanity table. Tape fades out.)

(Annie sits at the vanity table, brushes her teeth.)

So, I had sex with 3,500 of people and only 100 times were really terrible. Not a bad average, considering we live in a society as violent and sex negative as ours is today. That kind of stuff doesn't just happen to sex workers, but to all kinds of women, and men too. The first ten times I did this little performance I cried a lot. Then the next ten times I got really angry. Now every time I do it I feel less and less. Performance therapy, it really works. I recommend it to everybody. I did go to a regular therapist for a couple of years and that helped me a lot. I learned more about how to really love myself and how to feel my feelings, and how to express my feelings.

In spite of it all, I don't consider myself any kind of victim because I learned a lot from those 100 worst sexual experiences. On some level I take responsibility for having helped to create that in my life. Now I never end up in horrible sexual experiences. I guess I just don't need them. I've learned what I like and what I don't like and I have learned to say no.

Life goes on and it's good. I believe I came out a winner.
