• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"PICK ME: The Performance of Desirability" is a powerful feminist critique that exposes the emotional and psychological costs of performing for male approval in a world that commodifies femininity. Salomé Noir takes readers on an eye-opening journey through the adult industry's hidden realities, unmasking the manipulation, exploitation, and emotional toll that women endure while being conditioned to be pleasing, profitable, and palatable. This book not only examines the trauma of self-objectification but also challenges the societal expectation that women must sacrifice their authenticity to survive. A bold declaration of self-empowerment, PICK ME is for every woman who has ever felt reduced to her desirability and struggled to reclaim her worth beyond the performance.

Autorenporträt

Salomé Noir is a feminist writer, cultural critic, and survivor of the illusion of empowerment. With brown skin, a bald head, and a voice that blends clarity with incantation, she writes as a woman who has lived the performanceand dismantled it from the inside out.

For two years, Salomé worked in adult entertainment, from cam sites to phone lines, navigating seductive performance, emotional labor, and the transactional intimacy that defines the industry. She played the role: moaning on command, flirting for tips, performing desire. All while being told she was "empowered."

Her voice rises from that contradictionnot as an outsider looking in, but as someone who learned the rhythm of being chosen and dared to stop dancing. Her debut, PICK ME: The Performance of Desirability, is both intimate memoir and cultural critique, exposing how girls are trained to be pleasing, palatable, and perpetually availableyet never fully themselves.

Salomé writes for the woman who's tired of pretending, the performer who forgot where the character ends and her body begins. Her words confront patriarchy, capitalism, and the shame/pleasure split many women carry. But at its core, her work pulses with reclamationof eroticism, identity, and boundaries.

Her name, drawn from the vilified biblical Salomé and the shadowy depth of "noir," reflects her commitment to truth, mystery, and unapologetic honesty. Through her essays and stories, Salomé offers a mirror to every woman who's ever been made into a performanceand a path back to wholeness.
