Unashamed
Elizabeth G. was twenty-two years old and travelling around Australia when she came across a job opportunity at an erotic massage parlour in Sydney. Fast forward eighteen years and she had built up a trusted list of regular clientele working as a high-end London escort and was frequenting some of the city’s most exclusive hotels.
This is an inspirational story of resilience and self-belief in the face of adversity. It gives a fascinating insight into what it’s like to work week in and week out as a sex worker and how it feels to hide who you are from your friends and family. It’s about understanding why a person would pay for sex in the first place. It’s about the positive effects of sex work. It’s about love, connection, nurture and healing. It’s about change. It’s about acceptance. It’s about hitting rock bottom and picking yourself back up, time and time again. It’s about growth, embracing the struggles and learning from your mistakes. And, above all, it’s about breaking through the barriers of shame, and staying true to yourself no matter what.
In shedding a spotlight on the sex industry, Elizabeth hopes to challenge the misconceptions and shame surrounding sex work, and to help provide better protection for those who are forced into the industry as a result.
Unashamed is a no-holds-barred, taboo-busting account of the life of a sex worker, and what it’s like to build a highly successful career in a multimillion-pound industry that exists largely in the shadows. If you want to feel inspired and embrace yourself as a sex worker, or develop an understanding of the profession, or you simply want to eradicate shame in any aspect of your personal life, then look no further.
Born and raised on a farm in rural Bedfordshire, Elizabeth’s upbringing was a far cry away from the world that awaited her. After graduating from university with a degree in marketing, she broadened her horizons and travelled to Australia. It was during her travels and with funds running low when she came across an opportunity to earn big in a Sydney massage parlour. Here began her years of working in the sex industry; one of the most lucrative industries in the world. Upon returning to the UK and struggling to pay the fees for her master’s degree, Elizabeth made the decision to upgrade from erotic massage therapist to London escort.
Over the course of her career, Elizabeth has evolved from a self-confessed hedonist to the sober and financially independent businesswoman she is today. In sharing her story, Elizabeth hopes to eradicate the shame for those who love working in the sex industry and help provide better protection for those who not only enjoy the industry but also for those who are forced into it. Unashamed is her first book.
