It occurred to me that along with the old staples of "horny men don't read" and "men will say anything for sex" that there are actually quite a few things that I have learned in this job that I had no idea about before starting sex work.

1. Human bodies are actually really variable, and the "arrangement" of people's sex organs can be miles apart. EG some guys have their anus literally right below their balls, whereas others they are a lot further back/down. Which means if you're giving them strap on you need to be flexible with which position suits them best.

2. Men don't need to have an erection to orgasm/ejaculate.

3. The majority of men really don't care about cellulite, stretch marks, wobbly bits, skinny bits, scars, or anything else on your body that makes you feel self-conscious. They do care about the quality of service.

4. Although women feel it to a much greater degree, a lot of men are also insecure about their bodies, particularly guys with  small dicks.

5. Some men get turned on by being humiliated, and in ways that were very surprising to me. I knew about small penis humiliation, cuckolding, but racial humiliation was a new one on me.

Apologies if this topic has been done before, I did a search but didn't find anything!

God I could write War and Peace on this..

1. Men can't follow instructions and will literally get lost because they don't listen
2. Some clients expect you to be a mind reader instead of actually being upfront about what they want
3. Some clients think this is a hobby, not a business and we're all raving nymhomaniacs
4. Some clients want a right now booking as we're all just sitting around in lingerie waiting for their message
5. Some clients think they're special and we'll change our plans to spend time with them, despite actually having a life
6. Some clients think it's ok to haggle with you on price like you haven't got bills to pay
7. Some clients waste time asking questions that could be answered if they actually bothered to read your profile
8. Some clients can't seem to use proper English or form complete sentences with punctuation
9. Some clients despite requesting a particular form of communication i.e. texting, they think it's ok to ring at 3am in the morning
10. Some clients think it's ok to treat you as an object, rather than a human being because of your chosen profession

Also, how many lovely men actually partake in the hobby. Without experience even I thought only a certain type would indulge. I certainly have my favourites.

God yes! Before SW I thought all punters would fit the mainstream narrative of ugly and/or abusive. So another thing i've learned is that there really isn't an average or typical punter. There are as many reasons for a guy to buy sex as there are guys who buy sex. Everyone has their own reasons and motivations, and they rarely fit the societal normal view.

Adding to other posts, you can totally do this work without being classically beautiful. Personality and quality of service play a huge part.

...Some clients think this is a hobby, not a business and we're all raving nymhomaniacs

Haha, earlier this week, a guy asked if I offer everything on my "Enjoys" list in a 45-minute booking.  I told him to replace "Enjoys" with "Activities that I am prepared to perform for money."  His response was to cancel...which just made me giggle!

The sheer amount of 'stuff' I need to take with me on an outcall, and individual pouches to group things into so I don't have to rummage around in my handbag. If it wasn't so bloody ugly, a carpet bag like Mary Poppins' would be ideal.

I've found it convenient to keep a checklist of everything I need before I leave. Maybe we should compare notes of what to include on the list.

I've also learned (at least pre-COVID) to never leave home without at least plenty of my favorite condoms, lube, and wipes in my purse--just in case I need to do an unplanned outcall I am prepared. I do like knowing my schedule when I wake up, but...
