Chick is a teenager who has sex for money. Most of us have a hard time imagining what it means to accept payment for sex. And seventeen-year-old David Sterry knew nothing about it until he found himself on the streets of Hollywood in the mid-seventies. Within weeks, the young man had already become a highly paid gigolo. The author skillfully weaves memories of his almost happy childhood into a chronicle of the shocking realities of serving as a call boy to a variety of men and women.
