My name is Laura, I am 19 years old. Iâm a student and I prostitute myself to pay for my studies. Iâm not alone in this. It seems that many other students are doing the same thing. It all followed a strange logic, without me really realizing that I was falling. I wasnât born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Iâve never known luxury or ease, but until this year, Iâve never lacked for anything. My thirst for learning and my convictions always made me think that my student years would be the most beautiful, the most carefree. I never thought that my first year at university would turn into a real nightmare.

The Afterword includes a sociological perspective by Eva Clouet, author of the first survey on student prostitution in the age of new communication technologies, published at the same time by Max Milo.
