What area are you in?

That will massively affect your uptake at that rate. In many areas down south you’ll be the higher side of average, whereas in some other areas such as wales or up north you will be priced well above the market rate so will have to have cracking marketing and photos in order to get any serious number of bookings.

Hi, I think you'll find a lot of answers within the main SAAFE site, as well as by searching the forum boards, but...

Everyone will have different views on this, but depending on where you are 180 is at the higher end of the GFE price range (many are 120-150), so you may need to experiment based on the specific services you offer etc.

For hotels you want somewhere decent, but accessibility (no key cards) and location, parking etc. are more important than the decor.

DON'T photoshop your lips or anything else, or you risk disgruntled clients. Take some honest and representative selfies. So long as they're clear, they'll do fine. Accurate photos will save you potentially negative reviews or walkouts.

The risk of oral STIs is low but real. Just get regular throat swabs; face fucking, deep throat, CIM, snowballing all increase the risk. It is pretty difficult to catch anything receiving oral.

I'm not sure there's much of a demand for lesbian escort services.

I'd say overall GFE is more popular than domming.

I think clients get more turned off when sex workers are not honest about themselves rergarding their looks. You are better to advertise as exactly how you are, that way you know the clients who are coming to see you have chosen you because they like how you look and cannot complain or do a walk off because you're photo's are not realistic. I highly doubt though that many clients would notice a couple of small stretchmarks on your bottom though to be honest.
As for your rates you can charge what you want but it really depends on how you advertise yourself and again it's about being realistic.A good thing to do is see what other similar sex workers are charging in your area, so maybe have a scroll through AW etc.

Thanks I will try to keep my photos honest. I’ve realised that stretch marks was the wrong word and the right word should be cellulite.
I’ve had a look and the prices really vary. Some are priced at around £170 offering the same thing but the only difference is boobs are much bigger, not sure therefore if it’s right for me to price that much.

In regards to your customers, where do you get them from? And how many do you have per week roughly

Look at the 'Where to advertise' thread. How many is how long is a piece of string question: to some 3-4 a week would be busy, to others 6 a day would be slow.

Price: Given the location where you are located, I would advise you to start with a low price: 120-130 pounds per hour.

When you start everything is always more difficult, especially marketing. If you start at a higher rate and have no customers, this will be disheartening. If you are forced to lower your prices, it will be even more discouraging and some customers will notice and make ironic comments. If you start at a lower rate, build self-confidence, see how things go and then raise your prices.

Hotels: Choose three or four star hotels. To find out if these hotels use keycards, you can simply call and ask two or three questions ...

Photos: Like the other girls said, don't try to tamper with your photos with Photoshop. Men are not only attracted to your physique (even if it is the main thing), they are attracted (and repelled too) by your personality as it appears in your advertisement.

GFE ?: GFE is much more popular than Dominatrix, especially if you are a young woman.

Lesbian: The market is almost nonexistent if you want to find lesbian clients. I think this is something that depends on evolutionary biology: very few women are willing to pay to have sex with a female or male partner!

Questions: Search the SAAFE forum using the "Search" tool at the top right. You can also start a thread for each specific question. This is better than doing a thread where you ask questions on a lot of different topics.

Good luck! :)

It depends on your area but anything over £150/160 is always going to be hard to justify unless you offer a lot of services *and* have the conventionally ‘ideal’ body and build up a good rep, as outside of London few providers charge over that per hour. Some people though find it hard to raise prices once they’ve had them low so another way of doing it, especially if you use hotels, is to have your £170/180 per hour but have coinciding cheaper shorter options (£60 15 mins and £90 say or a 45 minute option - I had a friend once who charged £200ph but started off with a £150 45 min option which she later dropped once she had enough regs), to attract initial customers  whilst you build your rep. Added, if you want to charge high prices advertising very widely and getting a website with good SEO ASAP is pretty necessary I’d reckon.

I work with a huge massive scar at the top of my stomache and I mean massive and one at the Bottom.
I have stretch marks. I certainly wouldn’t charge less because of this.
As I’m good at my job and I don’t see why these things should bother us.
If people don’t like my scars hey ho.  ;D

Be as honest as possible with your profile and photos. I'm a big lady, size 22/24 with tits that sit in my lap...and the men that come to visit me love it all and I have many regulars. Wear your imperfections with pride. Good luck x

Your “imperfections” may well be your USP.

So what specific questions could I ask to the hotels to find out? Should I be blatantly honest and ask them, and if they don’t use key cards, do they use only a key for the hotel room door?


Yes.

Ask a few general questions (like if you didn't have internet access at the time you call), then add, like an unimportant little question that comes to mind, if they use keycards. If they say no, ask them how they work. As simple as that.

Hotel receptionists are used to hearing all kinds of questions: you could come from another country, for example, and not know at all how things work in the UK, etc. Don't be shy about asking your questions. :)

Hello everyone,


I hope you are all well. I have a few questions and I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me. Please bear with this long message.


I'm thinking of going into escorting, particularly because of the money.

1. I would not do it from my home address for safety reasons, and I would offer incalls at a hotel. ( Are you thinking of touring or using a hotel in your own city?. If your home town I would suggest renting a cheap apt instead for price reasons).

2. I am thinking of charging around £180 for GFE and advertising on AW, although I do not know how many clients I could get weekly from this? as I need a decent salary to live on. What price range hotel would you suggest if I got my first booking?, I don’t want to make it too cheap but also not too expensive, as i would only have one booking that day. And how should I find a good hotel with is friendly towards having guests? ( As others have said research your town, but £180 for vanilla GFE is at the top end)


3.I am 21 years old size 10/12 with 32A and a bit of chub around my middle and thighs but i wouldn't say i'm fat, and dimple type stretch marks on my bum. If this is not clearly shown on my advertising pictures and I'm wearing something to cover it up, do you think this would be a turn of if clients see it when they come and see me?  especially since I’m charging £180 for an hour. What about if I photoshop things like my lip size slightly to plump them, as I know there’s a lot of competition out there on AW. Do you think that this matters to clients, as in if my body is slightly different to the photos online, even if i dress up sexily smell nice etc? ( Don't fake your profile or pics as you risk getting a bad reputation)


4.I would not offer CIM, but I know OWO is popular so I am considering offering it , and I don't want to miss out on clients. After inspecting the client what do you think is the likelihood that I would catch an STD? ( It's possible, for herpes on a cock has no signs, early stage syphilis or gonorrhea as well, all unprotected sex carries risk. Also remember you can get herpes from kissing " cold sores")


4.a) Also if the customer did oral on me, could I catch something as well? I'm not really sure how it would work. ( see above)

5. What about offering lesbian services? Would having sex be risky? because we won’t be covered by any barriers ie condoms. ( Very rare I can count on two hands the number of female clients over 20 years)



6. Do you feel lonely in this job having no one else? How many of you have gone on to get married or be in a relationship? I’m in the middle of a relationship break up and will have no one/ family members. ( by nature it can a isolating job especially in countries where brothel work is illegal as here in the UK. Try to find some girls on here through buddy search.I have A partner who knows and supports what I do, you can find them.)



7. Last question.. sorry guys for lots of questions.. is there more demand for gfe or dominatrix?? Does anyone know? (More demand for GFE, then- PSE- them DOM



Thanks guys, stay safe x
