What do I do should I become an escort?

[Anonymous]

I am in a long term relationship. I have been recently thinking of becoming an escort. I had an agency contact me today asking me to send them more information about myself (when I do, I can start next week). Do you think I should do it? I know I will get paid a good amount of money , and I can save up and have a better living for me and my boyfriend. I know my boyfriend will not be okay with the idea. I know sex is optional, so really all I can do is offer my companionship to these guys. I know my boyfriend would feel uncomfortable about all of this, but I can't seem to shake wanting to do this. What do I want? Also, If I become an escort will other jobs I apply for know that I was one before?

Sex is not technically required because no one wants to say that and get arrested... Sex is generally expected though and you're really not going to get work unless you are a working girl... The business is largely cash based. You generally have a driver if things get sloppy to back you up. Generally the rates are about $200 and hour, but you don't get that much money... A large chunk goes to the agency, then the driver has to be paid, then the girl has to be paid... It's split up. The exact amount is dependent on the agency. You work nights, and I mean all night. The shift is usually like 8 PM to 5 AM. The lifestyle is prostitution... It has a nicer name but it is what it is... Don't do that to your boyfriend. I would say, don't do it to yourself either, but that's your choice...

Point-blank: don't do it! Neither to your boyfriend nor to you.

I was a policeman before and I ask you one thing: Do you really trust that agency to help you if you ever get raped by one of their customers? Do you really think they have any interest in being the next day's newspaper lead story?

If sex is not an option for you then you won't earn much. The big money is made by the tip and the tip depends on the service.

So, my advice: Keep off!

Other jobs will know, yes. I wouldn't do it. Your boyfriend doesn't want you to. Normally I'm one to think that it doesn't matter what the boyfriend thinks cause he can't control you. But, that's about little stuff like clothes and friends...but an escort would try your relationship to the point of breaking...Your call.

How will the others job know? unless I put that on my resume?

what exactly do you gave to do, as an escort. is it 'safe'? can you be sure no one will rape u, or try?

what is the actual job. I know sex, is optional, but what is not optional? how much do you get paid?

Some guys just like to have a pretty woman in their presence. Some choose to wine and dine these girls, others just want girlfriend experience. and some guys do actually want sex. The sex is not a part of the job and as a consenting adult it is something I can do if I choose to do it. But he isn't paying me for the actual sex (b/c prostitution is illegal), (he is for the actual time I am spending with him.) That is what my idea of this is.

Also since it is an agency all the clients will be screened, and their contact information taken to prevent such situations.

right. but how do you make sure, he stands by his word., what if he changes his mind & decides he wants sex, & decides you agreed to have sex. his word against yours, & you're an escort. I don't know it would be hard to prove. iits probably not something you want to go thru, proof or not. anyways . did you happen to do research on how common that is? getting raped , I as an escort, I mean.itd be my primary concern.

The agency workers explain to the men that sex is not apart of escorting and is only optional if the woman chooses to do so. They sign a consent form. I understand what you are saying though, but if you think about it there are risks with everything in life. I think an escort agency is safer than trying to be an independent one, because then you have no one to back you up. Whereas I have a whole team.

yeah, between prostitution & an escort service, id go with escort, but, that's only in choosing between the two. id at least do more research. talk to women who have done it, look into history of people who have had problems. its your choice, of course. I doubt your boyfriend will like it, but its your choice. idk people marry people just for money & that's accepted. its your business what you do, with your body. if you're really just keeping someone company, its pretty much like babysitting-an adult

Its not optional, really. If you're imagining its optional, you're delusional.

Depends if you show your face or not. And you won't get much work if ya ain't fucking
