About This Book

The text presents a satirical, catechism-formatted manual offering explicit, often ribald instruction addressed to women entering sex work. Through question-and-answer entries, dedicatory epistles, and mock prayers, it defines required qualities—boldness, complaisance, and adaptability—and gives practical advice on appearance, gestures, conversation, and techniques for pleasing varied clients. The tone mixes erotic detail, crude humor, and parodic piety to teach and celebrate libertine practices while characterizing social attitudes toward sexuality and professional performance.
