Body confidence and sex work [split from unrelated topic]
« on: 29 June 2019, 10:59:39 am »
I’ve been escorting for years due to suffering with bad anxiety and IBS which make it difficult to go out and work in a civvy job for 8 hours every day.
I don’t actually enjoy escorting though and find it really doesn’t help my anxiety. Do any of you do this too because you feel like you don’t have many other options, or do you genuinely enjoy the job?
Would love to be able to change my mindset but the cons definitely outweigh the pros for me

The mind and body are connected.
It's all in one as in one body as I have come to realise. . .
If one suffers, the other, too.

IBS is a tricky condition that may affect escorting.

SW generally does demand a high level of "wellness" in several aspects.
I notice when I am not too well, it shows!
I hate a customers, who tell me not to wear a "suspender belt".
I wear a girdle instead.  >:D
Isn't it such an odd request?  :'(

Not really, no - most men prefer totally naked women. Don't by hung up on your stomach. Some men love our wobbly bits, and self-confidence is sexy.

I had no self-confidence on that day.  :-\
Going through the rigorous cardiac rehab programme, it totally demolished me.
The customer was understanding.

I use garter belts and never take them off, unless it’s a trusted regular. Never had a complaint! I have had 2 kids, gained and lost weight, had rock hard abs then stopped working out, so my tummy is an awful mess at the mo.
I don’t particularly care, but some men might find it off putting so I cover up just in case.
I’m pretty self confident, but find it exhausting keeping up with what’s I think they want.
My fault for reading reviews and giving a damn what those repulsive leeches have to say.

Yes this, 1000 times.

I have a "mum tum". Why should it matter? I advertise as a milf ffs.

I wear a suspender belt from September thought to April.

In many ways I'm glad I didnt' enter sex work when I was young and less body confident.
And me, I am not a mess, I am a wilderness, yes

This is something I love about being an escort. It feels like part of the job to make sure you spend time maintaining your physical and mental health to a high standard - not just to provide a better service, but also to avoid a burn out. Exercise, healthy eating, looking after your body aesthetically (hair, skin, nails etc), and spending time on favourite hobbies that prevent stress, fatigue or anxiety: I can't think of an other job I could do where it would feel necessary and deserved to spend all this time on 'self-care' rather than fighting to fit it into my schedule.

I'm no longer MILF...more like GILF. . .   :angel:

I must re-read what you posted, LF.
 :)

Seriously, any "GI/Gut" related conditions that the OP mentions do seriously affect the well-being.

I suspect some of my Cardiac medications have a lot to do with the way the body feels.

Yes, thank you, MySecret.

I am currently participating the local Cardio rehab gym for those, who had the bypass ops on NHS.

How demanding these sessions are. . .

Thanks to all of you, I had one of the nicest days yesterday that I haven't had for ages!

Best wishes to all the nicest ladies. . . .

Wishing you, all, a very pleasant day.   :)
