People knowing
« on: 24 September 2014, 11:29:27 pm »
Hi everyone, need advice.

For these that show your faces in ads, do people around you know what you do?

If these around you know that your an escort, how did they find out.

When you say 'people around you' I could interpret that as people who I already know or people who may just be physically around you.

I don't show my face in my ads or on my website but a nosey person I know well went searching and recognised that it was me nevertheless! I don't have any experience of being recognised by strangers in the street as I don't show my face, however I have recognised other sex worker who show their face whilst out and about.


A big influencing factor could be what type of area you live in. In London it's obviously a little more anonymous than if you're in a small town etc.

People who I know.

I Live in a small town, close to a larger city.

I'm lucky in the fact my complex is just a hive of different people every month so no one knows in my area in that sense but yes showing my face lead to some idoit outing me to my sibling at work because i look like her so i in turn had to tell my friends before it came around in gossip form. But as your worries illustrate, of course putting your face on you have to kind of almost expect it will get out eventually. It took a while mind you. Year and a half. I personalley couldn't book an escort without a face photo as it's a huge deal breaker for me so i'd feel a hypercrit if i didn't put one up but of course what ever you are comfortable with. You can never know how understanding people are though so don't just go meh it will be fine xx

I'd lose my day job if people found out what I do, so I get round it by offering to send clients pictures with my face in it AFTER they've booked (to avoid trophy hunters).

They're all happy with this and some don't even ask. A lot comment on how they like the look of my bod so I reckon they're not too worried about the face lol. Another plus is I always gets lots of compliments when they do see me.

On the other hand, if I was to be outed I wouldn't care. I love being a prossy and it's a chance I take. If I can give up the day job at some point, my face will definitely be out there!!

How people will take it is honestly gonna depend on the type of people you interact with. My mother's aware, and she worries only for my personal safety. My aunt found out, and I no longer keep in touch with her due to verbal abuse. All my friends are aware, and once again the only concern is for my safety during work, really.

I only show my face in my private gallery. I'm considering taking those down because, quite honestly, I get far more calls than people I can see and it's just not worth the worry.

I've made peace with the idea that I may be found out. My boyfriend and his family know. My mum kind of knows (she assumes a sugar daddy type scenario). I'd rather people in some of my social circles didn't or potential employers, so for me it's probably not worth it.

If you're not struggling to get work, I'd not bother with face pics. Most clients who see me comment that they most enjoyed the effort I'd put into my profile, blog and website. None have been disappointed with my face!

I have no face pics and I never will I also will not send face pics. I would not want my children or mother knowing, every body else I don't care about. I do worry that I can be recognised by my photos if you knew me but I pray not. I think I have had one person ask and they still booked without one. I think any one who wants a face pick probably wouldn't aproach me anyway. And as my ex used to say you don't look at the mantle piece when your poking the fire ;D. Although I am told my mantle clock is pleasing on the eye. No they will just have to wait till I open the door to see what I look like, if they don't like they are welcome to walk. It's a two sided coin also, we don't have a chance to see what they look like and yes we are getting paid to provide a service whether we like the look or not it still is a chance we take.
Be in your happy place
