My personal advice would be dont do it if you love your partner and cant tell him.
I have been there and done it and it is unbelieveably stressful and really messed with my head. Having to constantly lie to him and I felt absolutely awful as time went on.
If he ever found out he would have completely hated me and never ever spoken to me again.

If you have made your mind up though then im sure people will be along soon to help you in the right direction.

Im in the UK but I only ever work during the day mon - fri and I make a decent living.
I would charge as much as every one else in your area because if you charge too much then you will lose potential clients who cant afford you and would just rather see all of the other girls who are within their price range.

Reviews are very important but clients do also like the new girls so im sure you will busy to begin with if you have some good pictures.

Hi there,

I am based in the UK so am not too sure around the workings in the US market but sex work is in affect the same wherever you are.

It will be very hard to cover up this lifestyle if you live  with someone and they do not know what you do, my husband knows what I do and we are happy with it when I decided to do it I put it accross as a joke and said 'oh yeah well im gonna become an escort' (he does have previous experience of running an escort agency though) he told me to do what I wanted as long as we dont discuss intimate details which works great for us. My cousin lied about being a working girl but you could smell it on her, if that makes sense the smell of sex/condom was there and she came clean.  One girl I did work with told her husband she was doing relief work as a carer at an old peoples home for ?50 an hour that way if she went on a 1 hour job at ?150 she would have 3 lots of ?50 to cover for the 3 hours work she had done at ?50 per hour.  This is very dangerous though as someone needs to know what you are doing be it a friend or buddy so someone can keep check on you.  Stay safe and good luck x

...What?! She literally smelled of condoms after working?!

Its that smell I can't describe!  like a smell of sex. Another lady I know her husband caught her out because he could smell sex on her and went on to kindly look in her bag.....sometimes when I have finished a booking I can smell the latex but immediately shower and clean my teeth she was on an outcall and came home with the latex-y sex-y sort of smell if that makes any sense! 

Yes i know the smell you mean that is more when you have been extremley busy ( think parlour style) when you have done lots of bookings  back to back it also makes the rooms smell to ! I have also been paranoid about this as when i started i worked it was  brothel style and you could see 20 plus every day, it is the mixture of sex /baby oil /talc /condoms/heat /not enough fresh air .I always had to have a shower before going home from work ( obviously would shower or wash in between )  but still never felt clean till i got home and had a long soak in the bath  with lots of nice smelly things ( i know you are cleaner after a shower but it works for me) i dont think it is a big a problem for indies as you dont do as many clients and your body has time to calm down and isn't in a constant state of 'arousal' ;-p
 .....to this day i dont and wont have oil or talc in my house as  it reminds me to much of that smell of work also i bag the tissues in nappy bags after each use ,leave the room/windows open and won't use  baby oil unless they beg  ;-p  i certainly wont let anyone put it one me as you cant get rid of the smell after either. Also some condoms smell more than others  but is a mixture of all things try using one of those strawbery spray spritzs to give you a light nice smell for traveling home rather than perfume  as i find that to heavy  till you can jump in the bath and put fresh clothes on as the smell can linger on your underwear/clothes as well.
