Ms Hollander tells all in this book. If you think you know all there is to know about enjoying sex, you should read this book. Women will learn how to make their men and themselves happier and men will learn what they've only dreamed they've been missing. Even if you're not interested in better sex, this book is witty and will give you a chuckle.

This is the book that made ex-New York madam Xaviera Hollander famous as The Happy Hooker. It is a classic, and typically, her best work. Of particular interest is the exposure of the corrupt politics with the New York Knapp Commission, and the U.N. - where Xaviera was propositioned regularly when she was a secretary there.

I first got this book as a joke. When I read it, though, I found out that it really wasn't a joke. The book was extreamly discriptive, especially the part about the dog.....HMMMMMM I also never thought that it was possible to have that many people. You would think that all of the precautions in the world would not sop you from getting some sort of STD. I liked it.

I loved this book. As a young man I was amazed at Ms. Hollander's feelings for her "customers" and her compassion. Really beautifully done.

Oddly enough, I came across this book on my grandmother's bookself. Reading the book was certainly an eye-opening experience. I particularly liked the author's candid writing style. She explicitly included all the details of her life, even if they were rather vulgar--such as the dog scene. I was also impressed by the way the author lived her life--doing what she liked without any regrets. The book is an alternative bit of literature, well ahead of its time. Frankly, I'm surprised that it was published when it was.

I read Xaviera Hollander books "call me madam during the 80's and it's really a turn on, am on my 40's now and i am still looking to read xaviera's book again

The second edition left out the incident with the dog. What a cheat
