Wow that's quite a gap lol! What did you find different about it this time round, do you think being older you are better prepared or more confident?

Atleast I'm not going to be too old when I return then cos after 2 kids I don't feel I'm as hot as I was when I was younger lol! What made you decide to start?

I think at 20 I wasn't as experienced as I thought I was, the girls I worked with were older, more experienced and looked down on me. A sauna is also a bit of a meat market.
Now, I'm older, confident in myself and working independently. I know what makes me respond but I also know how to work men now and I take pleasure in that.

First time I was 17 on the street. Stuck it out for about 6 weeks.
For the past 20+ years been in and out and always independent. Usually stay in for a couple of years, until the enjoyment starts to wain and I get out.

Wow, do you mind me asking are you busy and do you find there's a lot of men out there who like mature gilfs/milfs? It's good to know you can still turn to escorting once older.

Have you noticed a difference in the type of clients and amount of business you get as you've got older? And how has the experience changed over the years, just asking as I'm really nervous for restarting I was burnt out towards the end of the 4 years and have been out 5 years now. I feel like id be starting brand new again lol!

I've been doing it for ten years and still doing well.

Why did I start?I'd looked into it a few times, just didn't know how to get going. Several motivations one being fed up of never making financial headway, poor wages compared to living costs, unable to hold down employment for any length of time because  of an alcohol and drug use issue and at that point wasn't able to get clean and sober.

I know I worked in parlours for about 2 years of my escorting and tbh didnt really like it hated the part where the client had to pick a girl and found the prices too cheap like only earning £70 for an hour and the clients in general being more demanding and fussy probably due to letting anyone come something we don't do when independent.

Another reason why I wouldn't is cos I remember I was very popular being 19-20 in parlours and now I'm older and a size bigger I feel I'd get no client, the younger girls at the parlours did seem to be more popular than most of the older ones. Independent is definitely the best way to be lol.

Yeah I used to like smoking a bit of weed before bookings it used to chill me out I met a few girls in the parlours who were the same.

That's the thing I just can't bring myself to start a boring minimum wage job in 2 years when my youngest starts school, it just doesn't seem worth it when you can make so much more in much less time from escorting.

I didn't work under the influence, once or twice I was hung over, once or twice I drank on bookings BUT learned that was not a good idea.

If I'd been drinking or drugging I didn't accept bookings, cancelled any which were made in advance. I had a lot of time off  which was the problem in any other job.

God sod doing a booking hungover lol can barely leave my bed 😂 yeah never used to get out of it but one joint would mellow me out and bit and make me giggly an chilled out, made the bookings better really. Didn't do it whilst in parlours though.

The clients I find are much better. Back when I was a streetwalker, for example, it really was dehumanising and you were purely a hole to fuck. Very little communication other than how much, although some did talk a bit more. Abuse was rife and every night I was called a whore amongst other things. Violence was also very rife, as were pimps who would get their girls to try and befriend you. There was also a constant risk of getting arrested. I was extremely lucky and vice left me alone but I was also aware that this wouldn't last.

Phonebox numbers and small ads were better and getting treated as a person was more frequent.

The threat of violence is still here. But having developed a good system has filtered out a lot of the crap like the disrespectful ones. Although it's also important not to get too complacent and remembering that some of them have also been doing this for years so know how to get around various things.

Burn out. I leave before this happens now. It's really not worth it in the long run. I have no long-term plan just a weekly one.

Footfall has always varied.

Yes I am busy, I started pretty part time but find I’m increasing my time and days to accommodate the demand. I now work a day and a half more than I did when I first got my incall place. My clients range from young to older and I have many regs.
I was sure there was no call for a woman of my age, but I was shocked and very pleasantly surprised at the demand for older women. I never have a quiet week, but I’m not complacent. I have a short shelf life, I know that.

I so wish I'd done this when I escorted but blew all of 😂 now I've got kids and a bit older though I want to do it for these reasons rather than just money for clothes, holidays partying beauty stuff etc lol.

51. I think so long as you're health is OK, you're never too old! Past 40 (and then probably past 60) you just attract different clients for different reasons. Not every man is looking for a young, size 8 sex kitten!

What did you not like about parlours? For me it was the part where the client chooses it was always a bummer not getting picked. Independent is definitely better.

Lol! It's just because when I worked in parlours the younger and prettier a girl was the more popular she seemed to be. It's good to know thats not the case independently.

There's also less competition, partly because many use a younger age.

It's great so far 😊 I don't see many guys as it's not my main source of income, but it's an interesting sideline. I know what you mean about hooking up, it loses its appeal when you know you can get paid.

This with cherries on top.
Even in civvy life tops of guys don't want the young size 8.
Young guys fantasize about the milf/gilf this is something that we can easily provide.
They want the experience because they want to learn. Young girls yes, of course, they have something, otherwise, none of us would have fucked in our 20's!!
A lot of guys don't want the size 8 because they want something to hold onto. They don't want the bony ass because for some guys it is painful. Look at the market for the cuddly lady, it's huge. Of course, not all guys want this and do prefer the size 8.

What I have found that works is stay true to yourself. Don't think about what other hookers are doing. Don't try and take on a persona that isn't you. I am who I am and that's what I am selling. The punters don't like this, fine. Of course, I tried this, and omfg the extra stress it brings inst worth it, all that constant brain always staying on, it's not worth it. Chill and be yourself regardless of age or size.
I have ranged from the size 6 to the size 22 over the years, and the size and age of me haven't impacted anything.

I was 18, now in my early 30s, but have just come out of a 4 year break. I’ve notice over the years that women seem to either come into this business as new adults, late teens etc or post 35, after maybe kids grown up and or divorced etc  I’ve met fewer women who start somewhere in between. This thread is confirming that trend to me, although of course I know many will sit outside of that.

I think with the age thing or any kind of niche, being indie is easier because men who are either looking for ‘niches’ are more likely to look for indies but also men who don’t have a set agenda but just like to research around for someone who strikes them as interesting, individual. Brothels and agencies appeal more to men who don’t want to research much but still want their expectations to be met, so that dynamic works better for those with more conventional, singular tastes. I’ve used this metaphor before but it’s the difference between researching around for an eclectic cosy bistro and making reservations and just rocking up at a Nando’s, not wanting to take much of a risk and knowing broadly what you’re going to get.

like you're saying the fact that they have to choose from all of us and you don't have the nicest feeling when you're not "the one" :)) and the girls there, not so friendly especially with new girls like me... plus the fact that i was late in one day and the owner called me telling that if i'm gonna be late ever again she will not give me any working days and i was like you know what i'm making money for you so fuck off beeing late 5 min is not gonna harm someone and i just left with no regrets :)

Yeah it was pretty bad if it was a slow day, didn't bother me when I was busy but when it's slow urrggh! But I also did get picked a lot too and was often booked up but yeah I just hated that bit for some reason parlour working would be so much better if that didn't have to happen lol!

Yeah I'd never do it again unless I really had to do a shift or two to make quick cash even then I'd avoid it like the plague tbh plus the prices are really cheap you'd end up with like £40 from a half hour booking, just shit lol.

i was young and naive when i started in a parlour and wanted to be popular with the regulars, so when clients used to tell me that they usually picked certain girls because they offered certain services i to decided to offer them as well.  if these girls did offer them or not i dont know as not many of them would speak to me

OMG this worked at two parlours in greater Manchester that are still goin strong and the most popular girls from both (who were raved about on online forums) I had clients telling me they did bareback and asking if I'd do it too as so and so does. I thought yeah no wonder they are so popular. One of those girls still works now the other retired a few years ago.

I'd always take that with a pinch of salt: they're probably just trying to get you to do it by creating the impression everyone else is. I doubt most parlour clients would want to stir another client's porridge!

Great, that's all sorted out then.

Back to the topic now, I think - anybody who wants to talk about parlour work can always post in one of the existing threads, start a new one or use the PM system rather than derail this one any more, and that way other people who want to post on what the thread is actually about can join in :).

I started when I was 18 so young and nieve and but of course I knew what I was doing. Got the wool pulled over my eyes at first with a so called agency when it was just a bloke who had set me a profile up on AW and was getting cash and sexual favours in return for jobs but once a client got talking about AW and of course I didn't have a clue. So I fucked him off set my own profile up and never looked back I went and worked all over the uk in my 20's and have no regrets. I discovered my passion for BDSM and here I am today  ;D

Big difference. Before there were rules. Blow job without condom I gave first time 8 years ago in Germany .If the girl was giving bareback and we found out , she was kicked out of the house. It was back in Poland . Costumes are the same I think. Mostly nice . Idiots were , are and will be .
As about business... I had more energy back then . But I see no difference. If I will be less tired of this , I’ll be reach . Now it’s even better then before. I love being 40+

34. My ten year anniversary of hookering coming up this July! Where has the time gone?!

Always been independent, started doing when I had a full time job, when I left that I did 4 years of escorting full time and for the last 4 years part time alongside freelancing in another area, also am back at uni doing a masters with plans to get out entirely once I have graduated and got my new career going!

However I do have a feeling that I might not be able to resist the easy part of the job - good, regular clients who are no bother (also the cash!) so I may well still see the odd one, so we'll see!

18 or 19. Dropped out of uni to pursue escorting. With hindsight too young for me personally I lacked the maturity to set my hours etc.  30s now and retiring in April but it's been an amazing time I would never take back.

Wow, do you mind me asking are you busy and do you find there's a lot of men out there who like mature gilfs/milfs? It's good to know you can still turn to escorting once older.

Plenty of guys prefer older ladies, in regards to sex/being sexy young girls might have a tighter arse but they’ve got little else at that age. I don’t think it should be surprising that older women aren’t struggling for business, a tight arse really isn’t that important.

I’m 30, been doing this 7yrs, started essentially to fund a drug habit but I’ve long since been clean and sober and obviously still have bills to pay so here I am.
Also I’ve always struggled with various mental health issues so a normal job can be tricky for me

I started at 44, nearly five years ago. I have been surprised as to how busy I have been given I wrongly presumed you had to be a svelte, long legged beauty for this line of work haha. Most of my clients are close to my age and younger, have requests from those in their 20's but doesn't appeal to me. Quite a few don't feel comfortable seeing someone around the same age as their daughters.

I also have my own business which I work around, the men I see have mostly stated that they prefer to see someone who isn't full time.

New year resolution is to accept more bookings as I have a tendency to be lazy  :-\

I hope this isn’t a rude question, to those of you who started when you were 40+, are you glad you waited till that age or do you wish you’d started earlier/at a younger age? xx

I'm definitely glad I didn't start until I'd done all my education then 25 years of slave labour professional work - combining it with freelancing/working from home in my old profession means I don't have the worry of a cover story for one thing. Plus, I think by 40 you're resistant to most male BS.  :D

Knowing what I know now, I think another good option would be finish your degree/equivalent, and then whore yourself off like mad for a year or two to clear any debts and give yourself a break before embarking on a career, but to have a very, very strict deadline for stopping and starting the rest of your life (obviously the option is always there to come back to it, but I think it's a good idea to get some work experience in a profession under your belt for a few years first).

I started in July 2015 at 39.  My regret at not having started around 15 years earlier, as I wish I had done, comes from a) the money that was to be had back then, as I understand it, and b) the fucked-up "profession" that ate up 13 years of my life instead: teaching.  As I chose that job, I don't deserve any sympathy for what I suffered in it, though, IMO.  I left it in summer 2013.

Last month, I turned 43.

EvewithEve, what reasons, in your view, might make "late-starters" (like me) regret their late start to whoring?  Our arguably limited "shelf-life" compared to our younger counterparts?  The fact of younger competition itself?  I would like to know. 

FYI, where longevity is concerned, I copy the tactics of V24 who has posted above ;D.  I also happen to know - and make personal use of - a good Botox and filler therapist along with a number of eminent COSMETIC SURGEONS, ha ha!

I was a teacher too. And for the same reason  as you, I wish I had gone into whoring before I went to uni in 2005. But, I didn't. I had a nervous breakdown about 5 years ago. That fucking job  :FF

Anyway, I'd always fancied doing this and haven't looked back.

I don’t consider people who started at a more mature age to be “late-starters”, after all there is no “on-time” to have started in this profession. As has been said multiple times ‘shelf-life’ doesn’t mean a lot/means next to nothing when it comes to clients or the amount of business one might get. I wasn’t at all implying that to have started at 40+ age meant that anyone had to compete (anymore than any aged escort/dw) and therefore it’s a downside to have started at 40+. Not at all.
My question came from a place of pure curiosity as to whether people who had started 40+ felt they’d maybe ‘missed out’ on the financial side, or whether they were glad they’d waited and lived a ‘civvie’ life and could experience both sides of the coin (so to speak).
I guess it was an empty question really, as no one can tell how things would have been had it been the other way around, had I waited til I was 40+ I can’t say how my life would has gone between now and then.
I was just interested in how people who had waited felt about doing so, and how those who had started at an earlier age, felt about doing that also.
Sorry if I caused any offence, really wasn’t my intention whatsoever.
x Thanks x

I consider myself a "late-starter" alright!  If only I had found my way into whoring about 20 years ago!

Sorry if I caused any offence...
What offence??  ;D

Eve I didn't read your question as negative in the slightest, just that you were interested whether anyone wished they had started doing this sooner than they had, that's all. I'm in my forties and started in my forties too, from a financial perspective yes, I could have started ten or twenty years earlier and i like to think I'd be much better off now! But also, I was shit with money actually until quite recently so it's quite possible I would be no better off and had wasted the opportunity to save / invest etc.

I often think that anyone who starts any working career in a highly paid job is putting pressure on themselves to keep that level of income. I'd rather have lower outgoings and be able to earn more and NOW I can do better things with my money. Also experience of working for other people means I probably appreciate this more than I might have done. So I'm not sure that I would have been any better off had I started younger, I was a lot less sensible then!

I started in my mid/late 30’s, about five years ago. 

I’m glad I waited until later because now I KNOW that I’m just shit at relationships.  Or the men I’m attracted to are, or vice versa.  Anyway, I can’t enjoy a relationship past a year or two ever.  I’ve got 6 or 8 of those two year ones under my belt.  If I hadn’t done that first, I might think my sex worker past had marred me, and that’s the reason I couldn’t sustain a relationship.

The same with work. I got all my education, started a big career, and it sucked.  At least now I know.

I think I’m glad I had years to be wide eyed and hopeful.  On the other hand, a lot of those were really shit times, sooooo... maybe it would’ve been better to wise up sooner.  In conclusion, who know?

Started at 26 and constantly wishing I woke up at least those two years earlier.  Thought the shelf life is typically around 35ish max and now pleasantly discovering that women continue working well into their 50s... So, I’m not gonna give it a finish line, just carry on until I’m edible hahaha

I was, let's see...52? & now 57? The main thing this job has taught me is how to spot a lie at 20 paces, & how I wish I'd had that for the last 40 years, smh.

I used to to believe *everything* ppl said & did & told me...yeah, yeah, I'm naive. I'm still naive, but much less so nowadays.

It's in the body language. I watch it all; eyes, hand movements, feet....hell, I can tell when a Walmart employee is lying to me now & I swear, it's a huge gift for me.

This job has also made me much better at standing up for myself & better (some would say too much😆)at confrontation. I used to run away from fights but now I'll meet them head on like a charging bull.

Just hate that it all came SO late in life. Better late than never tho.

I so identify with this! I was 47 when I started escorting.  I wish I knew what I've learnt about people's behaviour and how to stick up for myself years ago! I feel in this last 4 years I have grown so much as a person.

I started with an agency at 23, lasted a few months until I discovered I could go independent.

Worked a few months independent but didn’t take it too seriously as I had a full time job and basically just wanted to have fun with my friends.

Started up again almost a year ago, I’m now 33. My aim is to see where my savings are at by the end of the year, then I may take some time off. I’m starting to struggle with leading a double life and feel like I need a bit of time to relax.

I've been in the industry 8 years, done a mixture of incalls and outcalls, and also experimented with full and part time.
In terms of achievements... I've developed a self-confidence that I never had before, and developed a small number of lovely regulars.
