Reverse Cowgirl (warning: her site has that NSFW American Apparel ad running down the side) says that submissions for her two blog projects, Letters from Johns and Letters from Working Girls, will be ending on January 14th, 2009.
Letters from Johns has run about fifty letters from anonymous men who pay for sex. The letters are, for the most part creepy, but some are sad. Here's the beginning of one:
I am now in my mid 40s. In my early 20s, a time when I had very little sex experience, I'd gotten married. We were incompatible sexually, never really comfortable together that way. Still, we had a big group of friends and family. Because of that (and just plain fear of change,) we stayed together for several years.During this time of sexual frustration at home, I became obsessively interested in streetwalkers. At first I would just go to different parts of town where street prostitutes worked and watch them. Then one day I paid for a blowjob and it was on— every chance I got I was out getting street sex. In the car, in alleys, doorways and parking lots, in the hallways of apartment buildings, once in an airshaft of a public housing project, in the cab of an abandoned truck and sometimes in scary hotels.
Letters from Working Girls has run significantly fewer letters than Letters from Johns. Some of the letters are fascinating:
I am not terribly good at writing letters, which is strange because my day job is one for which I write constantly. I am a journalist call girl. Or at least I was, until recently. I met someone. I quit before he had a chance to ask me to. It's just easier that way.I think at this juncture, I should defend the men that came to see me. There was nothing wrong with them, and they were not perverts. Most of my clients were single, unhappily married or married to a person that couldn't understand their needs. One even had a wife with cancer. I know you're probably thinking that he's the worst of all, but sex is important. He needed the comfort and solace of flesh against flesh, and in today's society, the only way to get the flesh against flesh comfort is sex...
Both projects were a year long. If you have something you'd like to contribute anonymously, now is the time, although both sites will stay up for your browsing, um, pleasure.
