Question is, is SW a sustainable long term career? I would love to think so, however, to think that a personal body injury could take you out of it in the blink of an eye for months on end, and that it’s purely tied up to your physical condition and attractiveness, makes me doubt it. Thoughts?

Apply this to being a builder, a massage therapist, an actor or any self employed work that is "physical". At least with sex work you can always open an only fans (unlike the above jobs).

In any occupation good health is essential.

Not really, my ex-ex is a cop (government job, monthly) and he has no issues drinking like a mad man, smoking and participating en very extreme sports because whenever "something bad happens" (mostly accidents and health problems) he just goes to the doctor, have him fill in a form and takes a sick leave . Because of his unhealthy habits he has quite a bad health. I wish I could be reckless too (just joking) but because I'm self employed I can't. I also cannot engage in extreme sports or unhealthy habits because I don't have a nice cozy goberment job to pay for my sick leave.

Ladies, how do you find escorting in your 40’s plus….? Are you as busy and still enjoying the work? I am always concerned, there will be less work, as I get older. Always great to hear other people’s journals in this industry …thank you

Many of us here are 40+, and many started escorting later in life. Some men will pay good money for a mature woman with life experience similar to his own.  It's somewhat of a myth that all men want 20-something escorts. The market is big enough for everyone, and being older is most certainly not a hinderance to making good money.

As KBP states, it's about marketing, advertising, services, knowing your clients, area, getting your pricing right. It is also down to attitude too. The advantage of being in one's 40s is that you are less likely to tolerate any nonsense.

Thank you everyone. I am new here, sorry didn’t realise this topic had been covered.

I've only just turned 40 (2 days ago) and am pondering the same questions, although I totally agree with the comments above how experienced and mature women are extremely desirable to guys across all age groups.. Xx

Thanks for all the answers, very glad to know it’s not all doom and gloom. I’ve asked as I sometimes struggle to shake off the insecurity about it, that’s all.
