We obviously have very different experiences Ana.  I find it to be females who "settle" for someone that they are not totally in love with for fear of being "left on the shelf".

After divorce guys do usually pick up another partner a bit quicker but I've also found that it is females who go more "off the rails" and shag anything that doesn't move fast enough in order to feed their egos and to reaffirm that they are "still attractive to the opposite sex."

And I'm saying that in a non sexist way. Just what I've observed in my 50+ years.  ;D
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

That's  interesting Lady lust. On the other hand we come from different cultures (I'm assuming you're British?) so maybe the cause of the different perceptions.... (?).

Could be Ana, yes I'm Scottish and my observations are of people from all over the UK.  I have no knowledge of people in other countries.

Fear of loneliness

That's such a male issue!

That is rather a sexist remark.  I don't think it fits guys anymore than gals.  Many people of both sexes settle for something less than they could achieve because of fear of loneliness.

I stayed in a violent relationship once in fear of loneliness. But now having lived on my own for a little over a year. It's the opposite for me, feeling cramped if people are around me to long in my personal life.

From personal experience I've always found that men have a harder time coping with singledom than women (but that's just me). ej: I've seen how when relationships sour it's always women who takes the first step, or also in the case of widowing/divorce it's always the female who manages to find much more of a balance in her newfound "singledom status". Divorced and widowed men turn a bit into a "mess" when facing that same singledom status. Maybe I'm being sexist but this is what I see around me.

I agree with that. I didn't realise fully until I had been doing this job for a few years. I think I understand them better than I did. Men in middle age and above often don't adjust very well at all. I've known quite a few who have literally gone to pieces after finding themselves alone and unable to cope, and that unfortunately includes a couple of suicides as well.

I'm suprised more women don;t have open relationships given their job. Me and my boyfriend went into our relationship fully pure, years down the line i've gotten over the "I'm the only girl he looks at" phase and have respected that hey everyone gets horny, why fight the urges, you have them too, if you want her for a night go for it, put your pulling shoes on XD. We keep our relationship exclusive apart from the sex and i must admit, it feels so much healthier and even my once strict boyfriend admits he is happier and i never thought i'd hear that from him. We're not bored of each other just honest!

My lack of trust in men is actually one of the reasons I decided to start escorting. Most of my friends are male and I have only had two serious relationships and was not cheated on (before anyone says its just my experiences) I genuinely don't believe men have the ability to keep monogamous And they feel the need to start finding ways of seeing that they still 'have it' Whether that's full blown cheating,finding an escort, flirting with the new girl at the office or sexting a girl off a dating website. I also think men can completely separate sex and emotions. I am not saying they should be let off I just don't personally want to be naiive to think that it won't happen to somebody I'm with. I had a couple of casualrelationships in my personal life (which im not proud of) with men who had girlfriends/wifes and I still to this day believe they did/do love their partners its just a sex thing. And since starting this job I've met even more that feel the same way and I'm not complaining! The only reason I was hesitant about starting escorting was that in the future it may become a problem to trust men again but like I've said I already thought that and the men I've met have not gven me any reason to believe that I am wrong So why not make some money out of the clients that are doing exactly that.

Cue everyone starting the "my boyfriend/husband would never do that" rants. Just my opinion ladies. I hope that I'm wrong.

This thread is a bit of an eye opener as it would seem that some people are perhaps not well suited to this job.

If your only differentiation between love and work is being paid for it then I think you are heading for trouble. Saying I'm not enjoying it I am being paid to do it so it is not helpful. Admittedly a majority of clients are not exactly a big turn on but what happens when you get the occasional hot guy who does make it enjoyable, are you then full of guilt afterward as you have crossed the line and enjoyed yourself ?

Does the sneaky climax you have with your vibrator while your boyfriend is away count as doing it for pleasure? How about looking at the hot guy in a magazine and saying 'oh yes, I would' is that wrong ? The fact is both of these things are done for your own pleasure but that doesn't make it wrong. You don't love your vibrator (well most of us don't) or they guy in the magazine. Using the same argument when you go out on a girls night out and have a great time, shouldn't you be having that good time with your boyfriend ? I don't think anyone would say you love him any less just because you have fun with the girls.

To do this job you have to be able to separate love from sex. Yes of corse sex is an intimate thing but it is an activity that both men and women can enjoy without attaching love to it. The very fact that people have to cheat is due to the way we have been conditioned in such a way (mainly due to historic religious influence) that sex is something that is exclusive. If you believe that sex is an exclusive activity between people who love each other then selling it doesn't change that. Weather you do it for pleasure or are paid for it if you have sex with someone who is not your partner it is still sex outside your relationship.

I don't see how you can be ok selling sex but not ok with people having recreational sex. Most of the men who come to see us don't have feelings for us they just enjoy sex. So what is the problem if your boyfriend wants to have sex with other people ? If you can't face the idea that your partner might like to have sex with someone else I think you are perhaps a little insecure. We expect them to be happy with us having sex with other men but can't cope with them doing the same, that is very one sided.

Where I would have a problem is with partner doing things in secret, be it having a secret bank account or cheating behind my back that would be a betrayal. Much better to be up front and honest. As a woman married for 20 years I might not be an expert but I can claim to have some experience in this matter. My husband and I still love each other as much as we ever did despite me doing this job, how can that be ?

1. We still make the effort we did when we were first dating, for example he still buys me flowers at random times not just on anniversaries. I got back from a weekend away the other day to find a loveheart sweet attached to the front door saying 'Forever yours', you get the idea.

2. We have an enormous amount of trust, he knows that even if the hottest guy of my dreams walks through the door as a client that I still love him. He accepts that sometimes I might enjoy myself and is happy about that. He is not worried that I will run off with the guy.

Perhaps there is also some realisation that we are both in our 40's and fairly average looking people so we both know we are not supermodels so neither of us would be hurt by the other saying he/she is pretty hot. In fact my husband has been known to say things along the lines of 'that poor guy being married to her' when he has met a stunning young woman. He says that the woman you would take home for the night and and a woman you could live with are two entirely different things. You could get away with taking home pretty much any woman as long as she looked nice but to live with someone you have to find them both physically and emotionally attractive, if she doesn't have the right personality it would be hell.

To do this job I really do think you have to be able to separate love and sex and have realistic expectations for your partner. I would let my husband have sex with someone for pleasure and he would let me do the same because we are confident about our relationship.

So well said Mrs Mischief.

I am married, have been for 18 years to a very loyal and decent man who fully accepts my lifestyle as an escort.  We have an open, honest sexual relationship and he totally accepts that I have clear boundaries in place while I escort.

It is easy to lose our faith in guys loyalty and commitment while we escort and see those men who choose to "cheat" on their wives.  Our livelihoods rely heavily on quite a number of married men, but some have their reasons too for choosing to see an escort as their wives are often quite sexless and unwilling to help with their sexual needs.

Trust is always a difficult issue.  There will always be many who cheat and deceive (both men and women) but love and sex can be separated and we must try hard not to allow our experiences as an escort warp our perception on all those who are living this lie.

There are still many many faithful and happy couples in this world who will not allow secrecy be a part of their marriage or relationship.  Some people can handle the guilt, some people cannot. 

What I do notice is that those with a relationship based on secrecy has a definite tendency for unhappiness. 

Mrs Mischief has it so right in that a confident relationship will always be open and honest with each other.

I am very lucky as I have a bf of 10 years ( sub) and supports me in working
I haven't been escorting for long , weeks infact but.... I actually like men  more now that I  did when I dated them, so far so good I think, maybe I just haven't had an A hole turn up yet.

Ive had 2-3  guys that...... id say id have dated if I hadn't met them working lol
