Empathy for clients
« on: 30 June 2013, 07:45:05 pm »
Have any of you ever felt strong empathy ever for a client? E.g. they really are struggling to make ends meet, partner died and they want company, or they are disabled?

I have just got back from seeing my client with cerebral palsy. I was very nervous but his carers were there and then left us. They put him on the bed and got him ready and paid me before leaving.

When one of them was getting him ready, the other was speaking to me in the lounge and said that the client has never been able to have a girlfriend; all he wants is some sex and a bit of company. His carers were his cousin and her husband, and at one point, the husband said to me "I'm really grateful for you coming round today. S booked it for K (client) but I didn't want to go down that route as I feared I would be doing something illegal. Thing is, if the police raided, why on earth would they arrest him? I mean, look at him! You get all these people committing euthanasia and killing people, all K wants is a bit of sex and company considering he can't get a girlfriend and is stuck in the house all day".

When I saw K (obviously not his real name), he seemed genuinely pleased and was even able to go twice! He asked if it was ok to come twice, or would I charge him again. I said I wouldn't as it was all included in the price. He told me that he had tried to contact independants before, but they never ever got back to him  :( Then went on to say that the last girl he had left after 5 minutes(!) and two others didn't bother to turn up.

It's so sad, as he was such a pleasant guy and he couldn't thank me enough for coming. I felt pleased I made his day, but genuinely sad some other escorts messed him about, also made me think what sort of life he must lead. As one of the carers said, he's of "sound" mind but trapped in a body where he can't move properly and co-ordination/speech are affected.

Have any of you ever had a time where you have genuinely felt bad/empathetic for a client due to their circumstances?

I'm not even sure I can imagine what it must be like to be in client's shoes, because I've never been one. For that reason does it not make the feeling sympathy, rather than empathy?

I've just left my first outcall to a hotel that i have done in years with a lovely guy who is in a wheelchair  and  on sat i did a outcall to a regular client of mine that has CP  i visit him normally every 2 months or so on a saturday and sort of make a afternoon out as its quite a way to go and i hate driving 
I treat them both in the same way as i would do able bodied people no different at all  and to be honest i think thats what most disabled people want  to be treated just like everybody else

I had an incall about 2 years ago where a young disabled guy came to the hotel i worked by wheelchair. he told me he is disabled beforehand and i said no problem as i have seen people with different disability before (blind, deaf, hip replacement) i thought its just the same as with anybody as i treat everybody same way.

I asked him if i can be of any help and he accepted so when he arrived i went to the carpark in the hotel and helped with the wheelchair put out of car it was quite heavy. he drove on his own without helpers. we went to my room and he said everything he can do by himself but i found out that he needs help with each and everything and he cant move his body at all, not even turning left or right as his body is so used to being lifted by other people his arms are lazy and have no strength. he was halfway paralised from hips down from car accident when he was teen.
he was ultra kind and did not want to upset me. but. i had to move his body most of the time which was weird for me -and heavy. i had to move his catheter also and this tube came out of his belly and had a terrible smell -despite the guys body perfectly clean and fresh. as much as i tried to take it as a normal booking i couldnot help myself but felt really weird and felt like im a nurse rather than the escort and those things were so offputting i had no desire to any sex act not even kissing but obviously this was what i was paid for and i did the job. i tried to hide my feelings and be a good service provider.

same as with lolitas client he couldnt thank enough and he gave me tip as well.
next time he wanted to come again but i was working in different location where there was no lift but lots of stairs so could not see him. he became huffy and texted me saying he understands if i dont want to see him again.
call me a bitch but honestly if i have been in the same location i would have done the same and refuse the booking.

he paid 2 hours plus tip but still? it was okay for once but i dont want to repeat that experience. and as lolita mentioned and i agree with her its not nice when wgs are messing up disabled clients. i didnt mess up but refuse the booking in polite way. but i am not alone and there will be many girls who will refuse a disabled client and no amount of money will help it.
it is not the disability directly but the circumstances and like in my case i was rather a nurse and the client clearly was not ready or did not measure properly for a booking like this and he was alone and needed lots of assistance and im not trained for proper help. I cant dare to imagine like if he fell from his wheelchair when he tried to jump to the bed i couldnt have even moved him and didnot know what to do and how to do as i said im not trained.
