One Night in Geylang: 20 Stories of Sex, Secrets and Survival
One Night in Geylang: 20 Stories of Sex, Secrets, and Survival
By Mei Lan
Behind Singapore’s polished streets and glass towers lies Geylang—a place where neon lights flicker, rules blur, and human longing takes center stage.
In this raw and emotionally intimate collection, One Night in Geylang reveals twenty unforgettable encounters between women who trade sex for survival and the men who pay not just for touch, but for something far deeper.
Told in the voices of both the sellers and the seekers, these stories explore the quiet grief of a widow seeking company, the dangerous thrill of false innocence, the tenderness of a final goodbye, and the unexpected beginnings of love in a place built for endings.
Some of these stories are erotic. Some are tragic. All are human.
Whether you come for curiosity or compassion, these pages will challenge what you think you know about desire, shame, and the price we pay to be seen—even for just one night.
