This is a poem that many of us can relate to. The matter-of-fact nature of Anne's usage of words touches anyone who has been trashed or used before...

What is wonderful about this poem is how Anne Sexton articulates exactly what she means without getting wordy - she shows how both the prostitute and the man paying for her services are degraded.
