Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mara L. Keire’s history of red-light districts in the United States offers readers a fascinating survey of the business of pleasure from the 1890s through the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Anti-vice reformers in the late nineteenth century accepted that complete eradication of disreputable pleasure was impossible. Seeking a way to regulate rather than eliminate prostitution, alcohol, drugs, and gambling, urban reformers confined sites of disreputable pleasure to red-light districts in cities throughout the United States. They dismissed the extremes of prohibitory law and instead sought to limit the impact of vice on city life through realistic restrictive measures. Keire’s thoughtful work examines the popular culture that developed within red-light districts, as well as efforts to contain vice in such cities as New Orleans; Hartford, Connecticut; New York City; Macon, Georgia; San Francisco; and El Paso, Texas. Keire describes the people and practices in red-light districts, reformers' efforts to limit their impact on city life, and the successful closure of the districts during World War I. Her study extends into Prohibition and discusses the various effects that scattering vice and banning alcohol had on commercial nightlife.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT'S BEEN A BUSINESS DOING PLEASURE WITH YOU is my autobiography of being a high profile gay escort, from early military upbringing and its clashes with my young gay identity, to tales of leaving home under threat of shotgun. Going out into the world I made my way to find a niche of survival, only to discover soon afterwards that I had something far harder to survive, a virus called HIV. With the lost lives of friends, lovers, and dogs, I met many in my Hollywood movie like life, famous and not so famous. In my pursuit of happiness I often found myself as shaman to many souls, some lost. Sometimes sex was the last thing required, instead many needed to be held or touched, and to be reassured of their humanity. This was not lost to me, I embraced it, as kindness was healing. Rounding out my years in the oldest profession are some bits of wisdom, folly, and finally closure with my father after years of distance with his gay son.

Download or read book Business Kamasutra written by Parthiv Shah and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books published this year don't break new ground or have a legitimate reason for existence other than being a published author. Most books can be ignored. Parthiv Shah's little book, "Business Kamasutra" should not be. . Most of my strategies focus on attraction in place of pursuit and consent in place of rape. This little book puts structure and system and technology for implementation underneath these ideas. . Parthiv is an implementer. He has, bluntly, a clever thief inside him with a focus on 'swipe & deploy' or the aggregation of best strategies in place of innovation. Innovation is far too highly prized, when it is implementation that matters most. . This book gets from concepts to practical implementation, which is where you want to be. . Business is Sex is a really great conceptual way to understand relationship with prospects and customers, but without the methodology and means and resources of implementing, it's empty. . Complexity is embraced in this book, and enabled by the suggestions late in this book. Process complexity is an extremely valuable asset. . As the Kama Sutra greatly complicate sex but gives it master dramatic advantage in sustaining the interest of his lover(s), the ability to implement this Business Kamasutra gives sustainable competitive advantage to a company. . Too many business books are nothing but flowery words and foreplay, a romancing, with no consummation. Here Parthiv has provided method and means for consummating change in your business."
