"I wished there was equal stories about women who were able to change the
course of their life... ."

There are actually quite a few novels and stories by Iranian women about Iranina women getting their act togethere (I just got a handful of books for Noroz, I'm citing just two in here that fit what Pedro was asking).

Don't know whether to laugh or cry as the truth hurts. Thanks for not portraying violence and drug use in your fictional story that witch is part and parcel to the trade.

I can't deny that this is a reality, women in order to provide for themselves and their children must sell their body. So disgraceful in a ISLAMIC country wealthy enough that its clergy deposit Billions in foreign banks. So sad for our IRAN. I wished there was equal stories about women who were able to change the course of their life from prostitution to entrepreneurship.

"Men like you who compare a woman to a peach or a watermelon have no respect for any woman" And why is that?

Not to sound argumentative but, this little mashti here, testifies that he has seen, smelled, breathed ( is that a word? manzoram booy zaneh, the freguence) and eaten a number of very fine Iranian,- and  non-Iranian-, women, who  looked, smelled, and tasted like peach, watermelon, grapefruite,... All and all a rather tasty experience, with both parties joyfully respectful of each others fruits! And I have a feeling mashti is'nt the only one.

What's all the fuss? Are we going to have guidelines on what kind of fiction could be wriiten?So when Kathy Acker or Angela Carter write about men do they also "hate" men and disrespect them?!?!

Our Shazde here on his good days borders on Chekov, Chobak,...His humor always light years ahead of them. A proper appreciation of tis talent is a virture.

Dasteton dard nakoneh!

Fiction or not!

Shazde Jaan,

I really liked your story; honesty and sincerity is written all over it. 

I do agree that it is about a sad subject, but still, there is a lot of care in there that clearly comes across.

First of all, my stories, as I have said a hundred times, are FICTIONAL!

I have a strong imagination, very sensitive ears, and some brain. Put those together, and even you can write real-sounding stories! 

Dovoman, to put your mind at ease - I have never ever paid anyone for sex.  I mean ... I never ever have had to! So don't get too excited.

Thirdly, go first ahead and issue a Fatwa for Chekhov, Hedayat, Chobak ... etc, before condemning me! Did Chekhov actually do what he describes in the hunting-party? What about Hedayat in Boof-e-Koor? Or Chobak and the stormy-night?

Female chauvinism can be as blinding as male stupidity!

Lessons of prostituting in Tehran?

Assad:

there is nothing humorous about prostituting and exploiting a poor woman's body. Your lack of conscience is despicable, so is your cheap talk of your penis in those gross and cliche ways. This piece of writing is exploitative, phallocratic and trash, whether it contains a mention of Sa'adi or not. Men like you who compare a woman to a peach or a watermelon have no respect for any woman (and that includes your mother, sister, wife and daughter.) By degrading a woman in your writing and by making light of an act of prostitution you got involved in, you are simply demonstrating your backwardness, your male chauvinism and your Akhoond mentality.

Next time feel ashamed about your involvement in prostitution instead of presenting it as something fun and natural. Next time be aware that the real "Jendeh" in the above piece of trash is you and any other man who exploits women and writes about it as lessons to be followed by other selfish phallocrats.

All of us already know about the miserable lives of sex-trade workers in Tehran. No need to use it, like the use of Sa'adi, to give a false weight to your writing. It does not work!

Rotten to the core...

Iranian society has become rotten to the core, after 30+ years of mulla rule. 

This is simply another example...  

Shazdeh don't feel too bad, looks like

even Jackson Brown also had a somewhat similar experience!

But rosie you’re all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- rosie that’s my thing
When you turn out the light -- I’ve got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s me and you again tonight rosie

Thank you Shazde,

Thailand is indeed a beautiful country.  I've always wanted to visit it.
