Tender Bodies and Whore Stories

Tender Bodies and Whore Stories: an erotic fantasy with a satiric edge set in the world of military prostitution. The safe world of April and Maddy, military wife and daughter, collides with the dangerous, sensual Asian fantasy world of KokoBang, Military Brothel Capital of the planet, a place where vulnerable street waifs and seductive charmers trade sex for survival.

Sweet and innocent April knows little of the hidden sexual pleasures available to men such as her soldier husband Jack when he visits military whores. In her protected world, she succumbs to the overwhelmingly handsome Alex while Jack is away. So does the even more sweet and innocent Maddy - as this irresistibly charming man seduces both mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Jack's contact with little street whores destined for 'military service' makes him determined to shield his own soft darlings, April and Maddy, from this harsh side of reality. Tender Bodies is a book that leaves no whore tale untold.

And no soldier tale either, for it is also the story of the military men who love the whores - from gnarled, tough commandos like Warhorse to Bronze, a young warrior god, to protective rescuers like Jack.

In KokoBang, Warhorse and Bronze, his young soldier protégé, take up with a wild hot whore name Cutie-Pie who specializes in gangbangs - and a tender, shy one named Golden Lotus Blossom. Back home, they also consort with two stateside prostitutes - Trish, a worn-out whore rescued by Warhorse and given a new life - and Cindy, a lost sixteen-year-old forced to become a barracks whore due to starvation.

Another good-guy soldier, Gerry, patronizes May. She wants him to rescue her from the hard, sex-drenched streets of KokoBang, but he fears that marriage to a whore will damage his military career.

Tender Bodies is written from a whore's point of view. This perspective has rarely been attempted before. Previously, the story has always been told from the point of view of the soldier who uses the whore. Achilles takes Trojan captive Briseis as his sex slave. We don't know what she thinks of the arrangement.

Soldiers line up to take turns on top of the field whore in Full Metal Jacket. Behind her sunglasses, we cannot see her eyes, as she is serially mounted. We know her only from the crude jokes the men make about her. We know nothing of what she feels as the men climb on top of her.

Tender Bodies is written from the whore's point of view because the author worked as a military prostitute. She knows what it feels like to be mounted by a line of soldiers.

Novels are impossible to describe since they only exist when you read them. In Tender Bodies memories nest within memories and stories within stories.

A sexy centaur; mermaids disappearing in the waves, beneath the book; and fairies who vanish like smoke in the wind, gives this saga of raw sexuality an evanescent quality. Fantasy meets sex and from this emerge the beauty and pain and sadness of the whore life.
