One of these days, I'm going to get 'round to writing a spoof article about straight men demanding equal opportunities and 'equal pay for equal work', in the sex industry. 

I think most of them would be happy with any pay, me old mate .

I do understand that its not enough to just be physically attractive to become a successful escort and after going over source after source on the net I decided that the best people to ask would be those in the business.

Also I understand that being hired as a male escort will not always involve sex and instead simple things such as just stroking the clients hair, holding her hand etc and basic companionship is what they are after..

The "her" in the second paragraph of this quote seems to indicate you haven't been over that many sources after all. Is it just me or does it sound like you'd be disappointed if no sex was involved? That in itself is a bloody good explanation of why the market for straight male escorts is what it is. I've got a feeling one of our mods will explain it far better than I ever could

 

In regards to the "her" you mentioned in the second paragraph of the aformentioned quote it was actually a subconscious motion towards the fact that I would be working as a strictly heterosexual male escort.

As for your mention of  "Is it just me or does it sound like you'd be disappointed if no sex was involved? "
In fact no - I would prefer companionship encounters please refer to my question of:

 "How do you cut the emotional tie that binds when you start those small things? Is it as simple as "This is work - Not my personal life."?"

As im looking for information on how you deal with being an escort and then still wanting to have a personal life where you can feel intimate..

You would be familiar with the types of males who are only in something for sex.
With out me going into "Life story" Mode - Its not hard for me to find a casual sexual partner and I have many opportunitys to meet and find new ones.
The thing is that holds no interest for me.
My goal listing is:
Money
Secure the mortgage
Find a woman who is a match for me - Mentally, emotionally, physically everything.

So this is about money, Its about me living.

After reading through the linked information from MissArcaBunny - It seems quite apparent that you all feel there is no demand for the male hired by female escort relationship?

Even tho through the internet sources I have looked through tell me that in Australia it is a much different scene then from countries such as England etc.

Even one news article that gave special praise to one man in melbourne who provided "The Ultimate Boyfriend Experiance" for his strictly female clientele; Of course the article did not provide any way of contacting him or his name, but elluded to the point that there was business to be had.

Again after reading through the linked articles for straight males - I do understand why you proffessional women would have a low tolerance for the male who has thought lightly on the subject of a beer or other such alcoholic beverage and concluded "THATS A GOOD IDEA!".

It explains why there are such little replys to my post also.

On a side note: Why am I continually stuck with the truism "Nice guys finish last.."?? 

In the unlikely event that you did get a job, how would you feel when you had to go down on an 80 year old woman for an hour, and look like you were enjoying it.

I had infact though about this and concluded that if you were working at another job being paid less and were asked to perform any other task which you disliked you would still have to grin and endure it.
Work is after all Work.

After reading more thoroughly through the "Sraight male escorting - The scammers favourite myth"

I can quite clearly see that there is not a market as I was first lead to believe.
Apon doing an initial search you are hit with thousands of websites promoting male escorting and further thousands of indie advertisements.

Making it look quite decieving indeed even for those who have done some albeit little research. *(Much like myself - Male escorting has been an idea Ive toyed and searched about before but never contacted anyone with any knowledge on.)

And common sense dictates that yes, it is far easier for women to get compainionship and sex then it is for men - by default!

I am left skeptical about the Australian market. (Due to the various articles that are telling me that the Australian market is much different to that of the rest of the world.)

But I now would like to turn my attention to you ladies.
How do you cope with your line of work?
I assume that it would take a toll on your mental health and for the inexperianced bring about severe bouts of depression?
I know a few strippers and no I am not trying to compare you but have been told that stripping takes a similar mental toll on a person....

As xw5 said, this is not the forum for random interested strangers to question us on our jobs. If you want to chat to a prossie, either hang out on the punter forums (Googling that term will find you plenty) where working girls who are happy to discuss stuff with random strangers do so, or book an escort yourself. It's okay, we don't mind if you pay the full fee just to spend an hour talking.

Since you've hopefully now realised, Alex, that the market for women seeking to pay men for sex is small (there are plenty of men out there saying that they are marketing themselves to women, and even female escorts saying that they've had plenty of female clients, but I wouldn't imagine anyone really sees more than perhaps four or five female clients per year - most likely in couples bookings with a male client too - and even that would require huge amounts of effort in networking, marketing and advertising, so would probably cost more than you earned. Paying money for an ego boost is absolutely fine, of course, but don't be thinking you'll be making a significant income without providing services to men - I think most "I'm a straight male escort servicing Teh Hott  Single Laydeez every day" blogs and articles out there are absolute bollocks!) there's no need for this thread to continue.

If you start providing sexual services to men, you are 100% welcome to stay here at SAAFE - we are a forum for sex workers of any kind.

If, however, you do not become a genuine sex worker, please respectfully take your leave. We have enough curious strangers (and worse!) lurking about here already.

With out me going into "Life story" Mode - Its not hard for me to find a casual sexual partner and I have many opportunitys to meet and find new ones.

The same goes for 90% of all women hence why the market for male escorts is so small

I'm sure you said in your first post that you have "a low tolerance for blatant stupidity"?  So do I.  

Have you perused this site at all?  Have you read any of the topics?  If so, have you seen any in which we are all moaning about how depressed we are and how we are all suffering from severe bouts of depression?  There are indeed some ladies who experience burn out after working for some time and this job is not for everyone and you do have to be strong mentally, but to infer that we must all suffering from depression and must surely hate ourselves for the job we do is unbelievable.  In fact it is quite the opposite for the vast majority of us I would say.

Even if there were jobs for straight male escorts (which there are not) I get the feeling that you would not be suited to this line of work at all.  Your attitude is all wrong.
