Former escort says sex is all in the mind

QCTimes: Veronica Monet has slept with 1,800 men so you don’t have to.

For 14 years she worked as an escort out of San Francisco. She slept with men ages 18 to 80 from around the world — investment bankers, truck drivers, billionaires, cops, athletes, students, professors and plumbers.

Along the way, she says, she compiled a storehouse of knowledge about all things emotional and mental as well as carnal.

Now she’s sharing her knowledge of men with other women. The 45-year-old Sharon Stone look-alike has written a book, “Sex Secrets of Escorts: Tips From a Pro.” And here’s the interesting part: The book is not about sex. It’s about the mind.

“The purpose of this book is to try to give women some insight into men’s culture,” says Monet, “so they can stop thinking of them as creatures from Mars and start thinking of them as people who grew up on this planet, though maybe from a different culture.”

OK, there’s sex in the book, too. Monet gives advice on the finer points of various sexual matters. But this comes after several chapters in which Monet explains the intricacies of the male psyche.

“I have found that many men are less interested in sexual intercourse and achieving orgasm than they are usually portrayed,” she writes. “I have seen many men lay down hundreds of dollars to talk, cuddle, engage in hours of foreplay and actively seek instruction in how to please a woman sexually.”
