An astonishingly brave memoir of prostitution and its lingering influence on a woman’s psyche and life.
“The best work by anyone on prostitution ever, Rachel Moran’s Paid For fuses the memoirist’s lived poignancy with the philosopher’s conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. This book provides all anyone needs to know about the reality of prostitution in moving, insightful prose that engages and disposes of every argument ever raised in its favor.” ―Catharine A. MacKinnon, law professor, University of Michigan and Harvard University
Born into a troubled family, Rachel Moran left home at the age of fourteen. Being homeless, she was driven into prostitution to survive. With intelligence and empathy, she describes the exploitation she and others endured on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also speaks to the psychological damage inherent to prostitution and the inevitable estrangement from one’s body. At twenty-two, Moran escaped the sex trade. She has since become a writer and an abolitionist activist.

Review
“This is surely the best, most personal, profound, eye-opening book ever written about prostitution―irrefutable proof of why it should NEVER be legalized.” (Jane Fonda)
“People who are working to end sexual exploitation will take heart from her example of transformation and an insistence on basic human dignity.” (President Jimmy Carter)
“Rachel Moran takes us where no readers have ever gone: into the deep hell of being prostituted… Anyone who believes "sex work" is chosen or a job like any other should read Paid For for its exposure of misinformation and myths alone. But the book is more: Moran writes so well that her story will scorch your heart….” (Robin Morgan)
“No amount of theory from those who have never been prostituted can replace the truth and power of experience. Rachel Moran's Paid For should be required reading in courses on human rights, in police training and law schools, and in sex education courses that separate welcome sex from body invasion.” (Gloria Steinem)
“Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. ” (Catharine A. MacKinnon, law professor, University of Michigan and Harvard University)
“As a survivor, I can say Paid For got to the heart of what sex-trafficked and prostituted women face on a daily basis. Rachel speaks for those survivors who can’t speak for themselves, and for those who have been lost to the life.” (Vednita Carter, Founder and Executive Director, Breaking Free)
“Paid For is the political sword we desperately need to slay once and for all the myths and fairytales surrounding the sex trade. Sojourner Truth once said that truth is powerful and it prevails. Rachel Moran's earth-shaking book embodies just that.” (Taina Bien-Aimé, Executive Director, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women)
“Rachel Moran demolishes the “Pretty Woman” myth with the stark reality of the lived experience of her young years in prostitution. This memoir makes a strong case for the Nordic model law that criminalizes the buyers whose money drives the trade that treats women as objects for sale.” (Terry O'Neill, President, National Organization for Women)

Excellent material, changed me forever!
By Cinquain
As a male who has personally struggled against the idea of whether prostitution is moral or not, this book has served its purpose of clarifying my ethical standings. After reading this book, it has become crystal clear to me that prostitution is an evil force that must be done away with at once. I am not a puritan, nor a religious fanatic, just a man with plain common sense that read a book from someone who has been there and is articulating her story. Now, before I go into the insights I have gained from this book, I would like to thank Rachel Moran for aiding in my personal development and contributing to human society with her wonderful work in this book.
The book is not perfect by any means, but it is a wonderfully written and enjoyable piece. I read it in 4 days. Despite the mental and physical hardship she's endured, Rachel has managed to write a book that is very insightful and much better written than many books & articles I have read from Columbia or Stanford graduates.
Now without further ado, let me list the key insights I have obtained from this book. They are not the only insights one can gain, but those are the ones that spoke to me the most.
1) Prostitution promotes secrecy. A very bad psychological habit for both parties engaging in the act.
2) Homelessness is often the introductory road to prostitution. Homeless is a particularly harsh condition, one can understand why women resort to selling themselves as a means of escaping homelessness. Prostitution is therefore mainly a substitution for complete poverty.
3) Prostitution is paid rape, or paid to be sexually used. This stroke a deep chord with me by the way, because I never saw it that way.
4) The transaction occurring during the act of prostitution is not occurring between two equal parties. In essence, the male with monetary, educational, and social access is exploiting the female who lacks these resources to fulfill his sexual gratifications.
5) Prostitutions hate their clients. They pretend to like them so that the act can be more tolerable for the Johns (another word for clients)
6) Males who engage in buying prostitutes are psychologically training themselves to be sexually abusive to women whether they know it or not
7) A society that legalizes prostitution obscures moral boundaries within the collective, I found this remark to be very important.
8) Current legislation against prostitution are not to ban prostitution but mainly to move it indoors, away from public view.
9) Prostitution massacres the body, soul, and mind of the women who do it. The "Happy Hooker" story is a myth.
10) Men need a lot of education on the subject if this problem is to ever done with completely.
The book is simply spectacular. It is well written, describes graphical details, is packed with real emotions, and provides a glimpse of hope for the future. I hope to meet and fund Rachel Moran one day. She has an organization called SPACE (Survivors of Prostitution-Abuse Calling for Enlightenment).. I'll definite write her a check if God gives me the chance.
Conclusion: Book is amazing, buy it now and support this brave woman!

An important book
By D. R. Anderson
This is an important book. It's Moran's own story of how she got into and out of prostitution. She clearly explains that the choice to get into prostitution is not like other choices that are made in life. Almost all young prostitutes, like herself, got into prostitution because of homelessness. Once becoming a "prostituted woman", the shame of what she had to do to survive kept her trapped. Drug and alcohol abuse is one way that women in prostitution keep themselves numb in order to do what they do-- or have done to them. Prostitution is, in many ways, more akin to slavery than employment. Moran also makes a compelling argument that pornography is mostly photograph/video prostitution.
Some of her descriptions of what happens to prostitutes can be difficult to read, but none of her descriptions are gratuitous. The descriptions are just vivid and accurate enough to help the reader understand what really is going on for these women. By the end of the book I was aware of how much society needs organizations that can assist these women in getting out of prostitution and help them heal from the abuse.

Beautiful, Brutal
By E.A. Aymar
Not only one of the best books of prostitution ever written, this is one of the best books I've ever read. Rachel Moran's work should be taught in colleges and universities, and read by elected officials everywhere. Heartbreaking and hopeful, tragic and triumphant, "Paid For" is an emotionally-draining book that details the sex industry in a way that more people need to understand,
