Hi guys,

My problem is the phone rings but then i can't bring myself to answer it doh how stupid am i ?
i think ive lost my confidence, as in the year off that i had i had a transplant, lost my dog 2 weeks after coming out of hospital and have put about a stone on in weight.

Hi hun don't be too hard on yourself. You've had a lot of things to deal with in a short space of time and you might benefit from taking things slowly.

Perhaps try phone chat and webcam to start with. A few nice compliments from guys will boost your confidence no end and you 'll be able to relax a bit more and hopefully slide back into escorting more easily.

I think loss of confidence is the worst thing that can happen to any one in any walk of life. I have known women in my occupation (not escorting) to lose confidence for one reason or another, and I can empathise I have felt that insecurity. But as a newbie to escorting, I have to put myself into the mind set of a pro, and pretend, if you like, to have the "balls  to do it". May be you could pretend to be new and gain new confidence from that.. Forget what you knew and act all fresh and exciting. It is after all a mind game and life is a game. I have what is known as a 'fetch' it is a persona you put on, like a suit. It will help you in all walks of life, interviews, any where you feel overwhelmed your fetch will be the confidant you.
Be in your happy place

Don't worry about the weight love as long as your photos are accurate then guys are ringing because they find you attractive.You don't have to display your number.You could get them to email first so you can see how they come across in a less pressured way and then give your number if you feel you want to go ahead.

Sorry to hear about your confidence issues. I agree with Bibi 100% in terms of not displaying your number until you feel up to it. I went through a similar phase a couple of years ago, when the sound of my work phone ringing sent me into a weird panic  ???

Looking back, there were some bad things going on in my life too and I eventually realised that by putting less pressure on myself, it would stop the cycle I was in. If you give yourself a break and ease into work as & when you feel ready, I'm sure it'll be just fine  :)

I'm sorry to hear about your health problems and losing your dog.  That must've been a tough year.   

I agree with the ladies above in regards to displaying your phone number.  I've been escorting for 5 years and have never displayed mine.  I only do it part time and I like to be able to screen my clients via email first and get a feel for them to see if we click first.   I probably miss out on a lot of work from clients who want someone there and then but the up side is it means by the time I get to the phone call stage we've already discussed meeting requirements so there are (usually) no awkward conversations.

Thanks guys for all your replies it helps knowing there is other girls that have had similar issues, i think sometimes when you decide to get back into an industry where you've got to have a rock hard shell it can be a little bit daunting, i know when i've seen the first client i'll be ok but at the moment i'm playing chicken :FF
It helps finding this site as well realising your not on your own as it can be a very lonely secretive world.
hugs to you all jx

Hi there,
hope you can get your confidence issue resolved, but be patient with yourself.

With regards to phone sex, its all about descriptions.

There are 3 main categories of caller; friendly (you can use up some of the time with pleasantries and politeness) Demanding (you have to take control with these guys, allow them to tell you what they want but assert yourself when firing it back at the,....iv literally had an instance once when i have had to repeat the man's name several times before he would shut up, it may sound harsh but if he talks and doesn't let me then it handicaps me from giving a good memorable service, and when he wants a good service again if I Havant asserted myself i will not stand out in his mind from being any different from the girls that just go 'oooh yeah baby mmmmmm') Shy (with these guys you don't want to push them too hard to talk, if after the first 'hi how are you' they don't say much or they only say a little its all on you to tell them how your day has been so far, how {for example} you've just been to the shops, brought a cucumber and got so wet thinking about that you could do with it....then a pipe burst and your tight white shirt that you didn't wear a bra under today has gotten all wet, and you had to walk passed a building site and yada yada yada)

Its like any sale, you fight fire with fire, shyness with niceness and demanding challenging mend need a spank on their botty.

Also think about how you can spend extra time a going into description, ie) im rubbing my pussy becomes: Im just laying down on my silk sheets on my water bed, sliding off my tight blue jeans, i can feel the material brushing passed my soft pink wet tight shaven swollen pulsating aching pussy....... Oh look did i just spend an extra minute saying all of that hehe

If you give them what they want too soon they will cum and leave = less money in the bank for you.

Anyway all the best, and let me know how your phone chat goes if you decide to go down that route, its a very diverse and personally i think fun thing to do.

All the best
Jess x

Men want us even on our worst days, Just post HONEST photos so no one turns up & sees you have gained weight. Honestley all girls get work. 1 stone doesn't sound like much to be honest :)

Confidence is good, maybe sit in front of a mirror, dress up in your sexiests outfit, put on some sexy music & prove to yourself you ARE sexy. Try with dimmer lights for the first few unless they complain.

You will soon get your confidence back up in this job :)

Practise what you will say on the phone when you pick up. You can fake confidence & friendliness if nothing else (what i do on my bleh days)

I don't know how to help you and I can't give you any advice, but I've got the exact same problem as you!!
I feel ugly, I've got all sorts of things wrong with me (I've got bunions and really ugly feet, I had a bloodclott in my leg and was on bloodthinners for months after which I ended up with horrible varicose veins in BOTH my legs, my teeth are starting to go all yellow and crooked, I could go on lol)
I think I've got some cheek asking men to pay to have sex with me, and I do the same as you, when the phone rings I don't answer
and/or freak out..
But I've had quite a few punters since I started again, and I've already got a few regulars (within a few weeks of coming back),
so maybe we're just being to hard on ourselves!
I just wanted to let you know you're not alone, and I'm sure you're beautiful and guys don't even see the things you think are wrong with
you!
Good luck hun, I know what you're going through! Xxx
Ps; PM me if you like, I think we could both do with a friend and an understanding listening ear!
I don't have to be perfect, but I'm perfect at being me!
