It's the free time I like. Good for my mental health and physical stamina. Other than that I am tired of any work and wish I could afford to retire.

Third post in this thread bloody hell    but yes without doubt the free time this work affords me!  I suppose I take it for granted now but having almost whole days to myself with no pressure to work is great and no more mortgage payments is wonderful.

I was reading the "sacking regulars" thread and this is relevant to my being so calm after a long run of being a full time sp. There can't be many professions where you can rid yourself of paying customers and feel good  but I have done it many times and it is so satisfying.

Over the years I have known other sps who said they hate the work yet kept doing it. They obviously had/have their reasons for continuing but I am grateful I am not and will never be in that position.

I do genuinely love fuxking different men when I want. But i love money more. I'm happiest when I choose my finish time and drive home, with more money than a minimum wage worker makes in a week. But I do mentally and physically detach myself like couple others have said, as there's no way in hell I would actually hook up with half these men that rock up to my door 🤢
But I have an end goal, and it can only be achieved by putting on a Oscar worthy act. If I had no goals, then I wouldn't be able to cope with this job day in day out.

I'm not doing handstands about doing this, and it's not what I envisaged when I left school, but I'd rather be doing this a trillion times over than factory or shop or office work. If that makes sense?

This. Absolutely.

First I loved sex work when I was young and it was a thrill/adventure. Then I had a bunch of bad experiences and I started to hate it. Then I took some time off.

Then I came back but with some provisos: don't force yourself to do stuff with punters you don't like, don't put up with rudeness or don't feel bad about not taking bookings with guys you don't like the sound of, don't work for others so you can always decide 'who, when, how much', be sensible with money so you never feel the pressure to break the other rules when things are slow. Now I neither love nor hate, I am at peace with it.

Totally agree with you Vintage Miss, I've done things/met people I didn't want in the past for money/reviews/because of quiet time and every time I regretted it. I'm carefully trying to follow the rules you mentioned nowadays.

Yes and no. Dating destroyed me mentally and I couldn't do that anymore, but I also have a very high sex drive so escorting worked without them ghosting me  I am in control and I'm getting something from sex.

I really enjoy meeting new people so escorting is great, but occasionally you get a very uncharismatic one who bores the shit out of me and I start questioning my choice.

Timewasters turn me into an utter bitch so I can be my own worst enemy when dealing with dickheads. I like clients with an age difference of around 10-15 years either side, I'm early 40s and just feel weird about someone around their 70s but I also think that's because some of the worst meets have been with clients around this age.

I love being able to take the day off when I want, I rarely get many advance bookings  so the flexibility is great.

Money is hit and miss, I mean I managed to furnish my entire house, but sometimes I do struggle to pay the bills when you have timewasters, and that makes me bitter. Some of these timewasters make me want to quit though. I do have another work from home business but with the last few months being so bad I am looking to expand my non-escorting work from home business by offering more beauty treatments, however, the money would not be as good.

I get cranky when I don't have sex or orgasms so I can't see me giving it up completely, but I am also thinking about retraining. I do have a degree but that was quite specific and I no longer want to work in that industry. Sex work will pay for any subsequent university courses.

I don't hate it, I get a thrill, I just wish I had the perfect client every time around 3-4 a day.

I used to like escorting when I first started I got a buzz out of it plus I got paid alot and was busy. Over time I found I tolerated less and got fed up with the irritating behaviour and time wasters . I loved busy tours though but it wasn't always like that in the end.
In my main civvy job if I did overtime I'd be exhausted and at the end of the month not much to show for it in the bank so I'd return back to escorting and see a far better quick response with money in short space of time .
