It has been a hard 6 months for me and my BF. I lost 5 months of income and my BF was on short hours and has now been made redundant.
My income is now a lot lower due to reduced bookings. We have checked state benefit we can get and it is virtually nothing.
We have looked at the idea of him doing some escorting (we already offer a service as a couple - but this rarely gets a booking) and I'd be OK with him doing it (he accepts my job too). He is good looking, would appeal to a lot of women and would be good at the job (ie respectful and understanding to the client neeeds).
We looked on AW to see what the competition is in our area. There are quite a few guys offering services. BUT I'd say that 80% of the straight male service providers have no idea (no pictures or just porn style pics of dicks that won't work with women or just plain ugly and appear to be using the concept to get free sex). Most have no feedback and those that do seem to have feedback from female escorts - so we assume that the male paid. One of the feedbacks was actually written by me for a client who I thought was just a punter and who paid me - I had no idea at the time that they were supposed to be a male escort.
We have looked wider than our local area and have only found 2 with what could be considered genuine feedback from a paying female (even then, could be fake).
Is it that this area of personal service is done via different channels/web sites and not AW (which lets face it is really aimed at sex starved straight and gay men)? Agencies? Personal ad columns? Dating sites? Or is it a fact that straight women just don't pay men for sex?
Any advice or experience shared will be valued.
Thanks
Sammy
