Add another site to the official Heroine Sheik recommendation list: writer Susannah Breslin’s sex and culture blog Reverse Cowgirl. Frank, insightful, and fun, Reverse Cowgirl covers everything from relationship art (virtual girlfriend, anyone?) to high heels for strippers.
Breslin is also running two great projects called “Letters from Working Girls” and “Letters from Johns,” in which she posts testimonials from escorts and their clientele. It’s an excellent opportunity to read about the real experiences surrounding sex work in a positive, judgment-free environment–to make it part of normal discourse. Plus ever letter tells a very different story. Anyways, check it out!
