Anaïs Nin the harlot also. She also wrote short stories erotic dollar page, on behalf of a millionaire. She told him,
I became what I would call the Madame of a strange literary brothel. It was a very artistic maison, I must say, a study of a room, with skylights painted to look like the windows of a pagan cathedral.(Preface, Fire Birds (Little Birds), Bruguera, 1983). Facing
