Starting out and worried I'm not experienced enough
« on: 01 August 2018, 10:30:05 pm »
Thanks for letting me on the site. I am seriously considering escorting starting in September. I have been reading the site and learning a lot but I am starting to worry I am not experienced enough. I haven't had many partners, all fairly long term. The thought of plunging straight in with someone I have just met is a bit scary, will they be able to tell how new and nervous I am. Has anyone else felt like this when starting out?

This is where your acting skills will come in. Just fake being confident and relaxed and it will very quickly feel normal.

I feel sort of lucky that I was not in the slightest nervous when I started but have no idea how things would have been if I had been nervous. I suppose the only way they will know is if you tell them and that would be a bad move as has been said many times, if they know you are inexperienced at this job they could try to take advantage.

Act confident and before you know it you will be confident.

I always thought you can become confident by reading all the info you find around and this site has a wealth of information teaching you on how to deal with most of the situations.  All the best.

Don’t think that because you’ve not had a lot of personal partners you wont be any good. I was the same before I started doing this work. Once you’ve dipped your toe in the water hopefully you’ll see its not that scary. You’ve already made some good choices by coming on here looking and talking to other WG’s, the amount of information and advice on here is unreal. I’d only had a few serious boyfriends and we’d only ever done the basic’s. When I first started I didn’t know about any of the terminology used, I remember getting messages with CIM,OWO,GFE, snowballing - I didn’t have a clue what they meant and was having to google all of them. Have you thought about what you would like to do, as in work from home or hotels, would you prefer to stay local or move about x

Thanks everyone, especially Amanda92, nice to know I am not the only one. I wouldn't be able to work from home so was looking to visit hotels reasonably close to where I will be living.

Figure out what you are good and confident at and what you like about you and use those things to promote your services. I was pretty experienced sexually when I started, but I soon realised that there were things I thought I could do with clients but actually found hard and hated it. Conversely I have learned a lot from clients along the way that I have added to my repertoire.

I think if you are sure of yourself it makes faking the confidence easy - it's far more nerve wracking going into a booking if you are going to do something you haven't done before.

Also, remember that a lot of your clients would be very nervous too, it helps to tell yourself they are more scared than you!

Maybe make some of your marketing about how much you enjoy welcoming men to their first experience of a sex worker or love to meet inexperienced men.

As said DO NOT let on you are inexperienced and new to this and don't fall for any nonsense from men who promise regular bookings/money os no object/suggest you do duo work with them.

Rule 1 Get the cash up front
Rule 2 Count it.

Hey girls,

I haven't posted regularly on here for over a year but I have popped by every day to check out what the business is like nowadays and what not. Well I am getting back to it in fact I've already started. First booking on Friday to ease my way back into it and I am honestly really nervous! It's strange that even after nearly 12 years in the adult industry I'm still as nervous as the first booking.

Anyways I'll be back posting here all the time no doubt and this thread seemed as good as any to re-integrate with you all as I can relate to it!

Hotels are a great option, I don’t work from home either so I tour and find that personally I feel a lot more comfortable staying in a hotel over an apartment. Spend some time looking into hotels before you book, like are the lifts key carded, is the location any good, there’s plenty of threads on here that help, and nit you cant find what your looking for you can always ask :-)  I’ve been doing this for nearly a year now and find I still get nervous at times, your most definitely not alone xx

Hiya... I only began working a few weeks ago and was both determined but petrified in equal measure.

What's been said about acting is spot on. When it came down to it I applied the 'act as if' principal as practiced in any anxiety provoking situation in everyday life. Act as if I've done this many times. Steal myself and blag it with a big grin.

I booked a hotel and familiarised screening methods using guidance from this forum. Then got so bored all day turning punters down via telephone from 6am until 3pm when a sensible one passed screening. That gave me time to dream up my script for a straight forward business transaction.

I learned that some escorts didn't feel nervous starting out. But for me, the bigness of that precipice prior to going through with it can't be overstated.

And just as others on here said, once it'd happened it was so straightforward and became second nature astonishingly rapidly.

I felt relieved and amused in equal measure and mindful of getting complacent!

When I said hotels I was thinking visiting clients in their hotel not booking a room myself. Not sure I would be brave enough to do that straight away.

Start off in brothels because going straight ahead as an Indy when you have no clue is far too dangerous, you’ll learn so much from the more experienced sauna girls.


Good luck x

The amount of work you get will depend on your location I am in a small town in the north east and if I relied on outcalls to hotels I would not make any money but if you are in a major town you might get more requests for this.

I think you would be well advised to seriously think about booking a hotel yourself it is a bit scary but if you follow the advice on here you should be ok

Good luck

Yeah. I've yet to do an outcall.

I offer them to hotels only.

If a genuine outcall booking looks doable my arse will go, I just know I'll shit it.

I feel much more in control and therefore safer hosting hotel incalls. For instance, I know the room layout. And I make sure clients shower first then leave all their belongings in the bathroom so I can relax and enjoy the job without fretting over being secretly filmed with a spy pen.

My hope is to use enough hotels to feel familiar with them if an outcall opportunity comes up. If it does up I'll be physically admiring any pens, placing them out of sight and beading the room for open laptops.

When I first started I was outcalls only. I had a full time civvy job so I was just working evenings and weekends.

Someone on here suggested I book a hotel for a weekend and offer incalls. Fuck me, I couldn't believe the increase in trade.

Look for a cheap hotel deal (might need to wait til after school hols) and fill your boots.
