 Had a last minute overnight booking yesterday evening so I got 2 hours on a train and luckily the guy was genuine, although I do have to go from the midlands to London tomorrow and pay ?200 for an apartment in the city of London and I am just hoping I make my travel costs back!

I still have 2 weeks before the rent is due so I am not panicking just yet but yes when the phone it dead I do start to get nervous :-/, although I am now offering phone chat and webcam while I wait for clients to ring and that can make you quite a bit of credits in private mode lol ;-)

Hello Ladies

New poster here, well where do I begin? firstly I have escorted on and off for the last 30 years and this is the worst I have ever known it, I used to advertise in the contact magazines and that used to do me well..then I used to advertise in the local paper (extortionate ?170 for 4 days) now I use the internet and many different directorys and I have always been happy with 2-3 clients a day and I dont mind if they are hours or half hours its more a regular income than the amount of money for me. Well this month of June has been the worst month in living memory for clients...I have made this month what I usually make in a week so its gone to 1-3 a week and my phone is dead...like some I wondered if someone had posted a bad review somewhere or if AW have a secret compartment only Service Seekers can see that might have reviews on? I can't understand how for so many years I have lived comfortable with my regulars and a few newbies every week to going to zilch? where do they all go all at once?? so I  looked up WG's with my post code to find there are over 30 WG's within 1 mile of my post code including 5 new seemingly similar profiles from young WG's from Romania and Poland who are offering everything including one who is offering bareback...I dont know if this is why Im quiet or if I'm being paranoid...I've decided to extend my opening hours into the evening. Its very scary when everything just drops off so suddenly.

Helen, I found your post so interesting.

It's always good to hear how things are going for people who have been in the business for so long ... And still surviving.  So sorry things have taken a nosedive of late.

You must see the vast differences in the number of clients that make bookings nowadays, compared to what you saw in years gone by. 

I only started whoring eight years ago and in those days it wasn't unusual to see 8 to 10 and more in one day, four or five days per week.  Nowadays many are lucky to see that number in a week, the difference being though, is that that is what they are used to. Many of my bookings were 30 mins or one hour bookings.  A few longer but longer bookings just don't float my boat.  My tolerance level starts to wain after an hour  ::)

The other thing I find amazing with whoring is that in the years I've been around the business, the prices have not increased much, if at all and in some cases, as the prossie gets older she has had to decrease her prices.  Where is the pay police for that? Joking!!!

Anyway, thanks for your post.  I don't often read this thread and do apologise for the lateness in posting after yours.



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.

It should not have been luck - before you get on a train for a booking like that, get a deposit that will at least cover the travel costs!

Hi Lady Lust

I have been in and out for 30 years with a couple of years escorting then a few years in a normal job and back to escorting again and so on but its unbelievable how its all changed.
When I first started it was ?30 for half hour and there was no such thing as a 1 hour booking they were all half hours and it consisted of a massage, covered oral and sex or HR nothing else was on the menu and it wasnt expected. Men knew their place and didnt mess you about because they were so pleased to find someone to visit. After a few years break I came back and I was suprised that services like OWO and DFK are now the norm although I realise not every escort offers these services. GFE's were unheard of along with services like rimming etc (I didnt know what it was lol) I do miss the old days as it was more straightforward the clients were easier to please. I think the internet and porn have contributed a lot to what men expect from an escort. I do miss the old days lol

I had seen him twice before and had phoned through to his hotel room before I got on the train :-)

Well I was very busy yesterday so I have finally had to admit to myself that busy times and quiet times no longer exist. Its busy days or quiet days now. Its like this industry is a giant wave undulating up and down from one extreme to the next on a day to day basis these days. Even traditional busy and quieter times of the month cannot be guaranteed. Its all flipped on its head and twisted sideways. Just gotta take each day as it comes x

With a general lack of cash about and the market so flooded with escorts from around the world some girls are going to float but many arn't. Personally I think unless you have an unusual speciality and you really stand out offering a well above the norm offering a brilliant well priced service or you have a very strong loyal regular client base you become just one of hundreds in your area.....
Myself I cant understand the men who visit girls with their very dubious profiles, with bad english 0 feedback offering the world but dont deliver.
Many of these men are very experienced punters so they should know the odds are not in their favour for a good "punt" under these circumstances.
They're open to bait and switch, mislead about services, given poor time and unclean girls and surroundings, pimps, mechanical and depressed girls who could very well be trafficed.  :FF
But before these men learn that all that glitters isnt gold they are like moths to a flame when they will see the next dodgy profile showing a pretty face and a size 8 body with the promise of her being "like no other girl" off they trot yet again with their hard earned...silly buggers! until clients start voting with their cash to visit genuine established escorts and not fly support the by night rip offs all genuine escorts will suffer as the UK punting cashflow hemorrhaging out of the UK.
Boy thats a long post! lol this is just my personal opinion I dont mean to offend anyone.

I think is as much "moths to a ridiculously low hourly fee" as all the other attributes on offer

It used to be the same when I advertised in the Daily newspaper a few years ago, ?170 for 4 nights and all you got was 3 lines without a physical description or a website address so already under pressure then add to that ?140 a week rent for the flat i was using, after travel expenses and odds and sods it means over ?350 needs to come in before I saw anything for myself.
There is nothing more soul destroying than paying out to work, but when you take put all your expenses you are left with very little if anything for yourself.
Personally would not shell out anything I didn't have to then everything I make how small or large is all mine. I no longer pay for advertising except to AW to show my tel number 1 credit a day so that's about ?20 a month but that's OK.
I no longer pay an extortionate rent for a flat I don't need or the travel expenses to and fro.
Now days it seems the sensible thing to do is "cut your coat according to your cloth"

I seem to be ridiculously quiet at the moment, last week was dire with more than a few time wasters and only 4 bookings actually took place, nothing except time waster texts and calls over weekend and only 2 confirmed regulars booked this week so far.
Hopefully, considering its only Monday this week will pick up a bit.

For various reasons I worked from a private flat in Billingshurst yesterday & today and have been extremely busy considering it seems to be in the middle of nowhere. No other girls working in a 6 mile radius, a lot of guys from local villages were among the guys who came to see me.

I rented the room from a guy on Adultwork and will post a review of the place, seems other girls have also worked there.
