I became an escort, bacause I had a very very long shopping list, and at that time I couldn't even afford Primark. I thought that 'all the money of the world is in London' so I browsed agencies, and choose the one that sounded like a paradise on Earth ( beginner's mistake) and came to London. The agency people were absolutely crap, dodgy and controlling to the piont that I was paranoid that someone was following me around. Although I was earning not bad money (amounts that I hadn't held in my hands before), but I had to give half of the money to them, pay off a very expensive photoshoot and pay a lot of money for 'marketing', so not only was I giving them 50% comission, but also a lot of money for as they described 'marketing'. Also, i had no idea about life in London, so I randomly rented a very expensive room ( someting like ?200 a week 7 years ago) so I was left with very little cash, and still could just about afford Primark. After a month I briefly became homeless, and was travelling across London with my suitcase, and slept on night buses and arrivals hall at Heathrow.
After that I spent my last pounds on internet cafe and mobile top up, and phoned another agency.
They were great, and I was lucky to find them, I made friends with the girls, and I earned a lot of money which was soon....stolen from my rented room in west London. i had ?50 in my bag, and that was all I had. So I had to start all over again from scratch.
So I think I can say I went through quite a bit in my first months of escorting.
A lot has changed since then, and now I lead a good life and I think I was very lucky to get where I am now.

Three years ago I was a single mum working hard to keep my head above water as the recession affected my business. After a traumatic Christmas I vowed the next year would be much, much better and started looking into the adult industry. I started with phone chat via AW but I didn't like it a great deal so rarely logged on, one guy asked me to watch him on MSN whilst on the phone which was fine! So the seed of webcamming was planted but again I was too nervous to do much of it.

Fast forward a month or so to just before the kids' birthdays and I started looking at escorting. I'd been a swinger for a few years and also actively dating sugar daddies so I wasn't new to having sex with practical strangers and was used to selling sex so thought I'd give it a go! My personal life was a bit of a mess for that first 6 months and I really wasn't in a good place to cope with the fallouts of escorting so I quit.

Almost a year ago my personal life and my head was in a much better place but my business was at such a state that I was working self employed for less than the miminmum wage and I hated what I was doing, so I decided to go back to escorting. I now split my time between webcamming and escorting and my business is now more of a front than anything else and I pick and choose what projects to take on. I think in the next month I'll probably quit seeing new clients and stick to camming and my regulars which is my ideal but we'll see.  ::)

I gave my full time job up in 2009, it was a horrible underpaid overworked job and i was bullied by co-workers. i decided to go abroad to work a season, when i was back i was skint and i didn't really want a normal job again, so i started doing modelling through gumtree to start with then a photographer mentioned escorting through adultwork, i was like oh no i couldn't do anything like that, but three years down the line here i am, i have worked my way up with a good reputation and feedback :)
