Product Information

In November 2020 she hosted An Evening With Yuval Noah Harari, a livestream book launch held by How to Academy and Penguin Books. [31] There’s a touch of Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time here; plus, perhaps, a very funny, candid smattering of Louise Rennison’s beloved teen diarist Georgia Nicolson. Pascoe has written about her adolescent love of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World, and it’s not hard to draw the line between his naive, careful philosopher Sophie and hers. If you combined those three teenagers, and aged them up 15 years, you might find something of her narrator’s pure, strange tone. She has written two books. The first, Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body, was published in 2016. [23] Her second book, Sex Power Money, was published in 2019, [24] which explores (mostly heterosexual) sexual relations, with particular focuses on male sexuality and on sex work. It is informed by evolutionary biology and social research, and by her own experiences and feelings. [25] She also hosts a related podcast of the same name, in which she interviews people who have experience around sex work, stripping and porn.

She researches survival sex and forums where men discuss sex workers. Pascoe also talks about Indecent Proposal, a film in which a man offers another man a large sum of money in return for having sex with his wife.
