I’ve edited my first post to reflect how I feel about these replies (yours also resonated with me because of your mentioning intimacy of sex; cognitive dissonance as a lesbian helps me personally but I see where you’re coming from and I feel you on that), but I just wanted to specifically address here you said
> I want to be proud of my partners occupation and there’s no framing way sex work could be a topic of conversation at my family Xmas party
I mean. Yeah. I feel you on that. I do volunteer work in my community with my local homeless population 3 days a week (I’m able to commit so much time because I’m a sex worker and I only work two days a week) and I tell my extended family and my sweetie’s family that’s my “real” job. But I do that for free while sex work pays my bills and helps me get out of my serious medical bill debt. A lot of sex workers are proud of what we do. And we should be because we are all awesome and strong and brave. I can work two days a week, support myself, maintain a long term autoimmune illness that prevents me from maintaining a “normal”/vanilla job, and it helps me meet dope ass women from all over who want to remove the stigma from what we do. But I know my sweetie is proud of me because I make money and am able to use the rest of my time to dedicate to what I love and believe in (my volunteer work, my education to become a translator, the love I give to my pets). My mother (who is the only family member who knows what I do) won’t brag to her friends about it, but she will tell them about my other accomplishments outside of work. She also appreciates that because of the money I make I’m able to help make sure my grandmother gets the hospice care she needs but would not be able to afford otherwise.
Sex work is a very low barrier job for people who don’t have options or are limited in their choices for employment because of education limits, health limitations, caregiver obligations, or other reasons. You should be proud of what sex workers do because we are, at our core, strong and brave and weird and cool fucking people. We don’t need you to be proud of us but if you were, we’d really appreciate your support. I really recommend reading the Justice Hustlers books for a fictionalized but fantastic account that normalizes sex work and touches on a lot of our normal lives, as well as getting in touch with your local SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project) events to learn more about sex workers and who we are.
Also, feel free to PM me if you have more questions (same for anyone reading this! as long as you’re respectful, I want to answer questions and help clear up the stigma that keeps us in the shadows).
Thank you for replying to my question. I appreciate you and I really look forward to hearing from you if you have any more input.
ETA: Hey, thanks for downvoting me whoever you are! Please PM me with your dissonance or reply to me here and show yourself. By all means. I won’t judge you if you’re honest about how you feel, but I do judge you for being a coward, you fuck. @ u/Phyllotreta hmu if you have questions. I trust that you would actually respond.

There's definitely an allure and a market for it. Read Lauren Blakely's series that starts with "Big Rock" to see how someone does it well. I don't think she's the only one who does it, either. (Here's one other that I know of off the top of my head... disclaimer: she's a friend, but her book's gotten fantastic reviews.)
It isn't about marketing to a male audience, either. Female readers love getting into the guy's heads, and even polls of readers of genres who focus on female POV suggest as much - they want more of the content to be from the hero's POV and would be all over books that are exclusively written that way.

The New and Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott
A redneck alcoholic taxidermist signs up to go to a private science facility, where through some brain implants they force-feed him with books and learning. When he gets back to the real world, he has a check, a lot of knew knowledge and artistic abilities, headaches and hallucinations, and a singular obsession with finding Hogzilla, a mutant wild boar terrorizing the rural southern town where he lives.
It's a fun gonzo thrillride that is also a sober reflection on intelligence and masculinity. And it got a New York Times review. I'm loving it so far.
The book Supremacist talks about how every Supreme accessory is somehow related to crime. Pretty funny.

This looks depressing - and there's a whole series of them:
"This Hoe Got Roaches In Her Crib"
by Quan Millz
Other titles:
I'm imagining one really mean chicken pecking out the elephant's eyes and then herding it off a cliff.
I'd come off writing my first novel, which was a complicated Urban Fantasy with four POVs called Archive of Fire. I wanted to write an epic fantasy that was fun and pretty traditional. I wanted a single POV, something simpler, and I challenged myself to upend most tropes. (For instance, Draken gets a magic sword but he has no idea how to use a sword, he has a very unusual bodyguard, that sort of thing.) I wrote the first one but the publisher wanted a trilogy so I had to extend the story. It worked out all right.
Draken is biracial (in his secondary world) so it was important to us to show that. Beyond that they were designed to show they're action stories, I believe. My favorite is the ENEMY cover.
Green Day's American Idiot
Goals, hm. I think when I started it might have been sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. Now I'd like to be able to put my kids through college. Ah, how things change. Self-expression is a weird gig because I feel driven to write but completely insecure about what I have to say.
My favorite review isn't really a review but it's when my son read EXILE and came down every morning and discussed it with me. My second favorite... and I'm not sure where this one is... had something to do with distracting someone while a loved one was in the hospital. I do tend to read them but I don't respond and so far they haven't affected my writing much. THE SILVER SCAR has the potential to be controversial so we'll see if my attitude sticks.
Thanks for asking!
