For some reason, I don't like "escort." I'm sitting in a flat. I barely even do outcall. I'm not escorting anyone anywhere. I think of myself as a hooker or a ho. "Ho" was absolutely used when I lived in California, but then we were not far from the hood and a lot of the girls had gang banger boyfriends and we truly did talk in rap/gansta slang. I sometimes still do. So, we'd call ourselves and one another "ho's" when talking amongst ourselves. The more polite word was "provider" - that's what we'd say on the Internet, anyway.
I prefer Hooker. Because that's what I do. Get the guys hooked on hookers. It's so perfectly descriptive of what it's all about.
I think when I have told people I am a escort I get a much better reaction and It had been more accepted by friends.
I had no idea what the industry was really like till I got into it (duh) so words like hooker and whore struck out to me as negative words. Its still hard to get my head around! I have always been taught it was a bad thing but I am doing it and I have really really enjoyed myself so I have had to retrain my brain a bit!
I had a guy say to me while having sex 'you are a good whore' I almost slapped him! but I didn't react as he said it in a nice way he was a gent and I knew he was complimenting me and trying to sound dirrdy at the same time.
