Hello Ariella!

Welcome to SAAFE.  I am not a larger lady, well, I will be if I carry on scoffing, but I have a couple of friends that are. Like all things, if you have the right attitude you will do well- there are lots of BBW fans in the UK, in fact I think its a bit of a niche.

You can set upper or lower age limits, its your preogative, but remember that it is the older clients who tend to be the pussy cats, the younger can be a pain in the arse who like to show the local prossie how its done so to speak, so you may find yourself reversing that policy, but as I said, its up to you. Speaking for myself, over 48 is my bread and butter, however I am older than you.

Not much sexual experience will be an asset to you with some clients, and a detriment with others as they may be looking for a swing- from -the- chandelier -while- sucking -my bits kind of escort, but if you make it clear from the outset that you are new to the industry that should take care of that.

I must warn you in advance though, this isn't a job for the feint hearted or thin skinned. If you aren't already very confident it can actually knock your confidence, or on the flip side be very empowering- and there really is no telling how you will cope until you see your first client.

As always though, good luck!

Hi Ariella!

The others' advice above is awesome. I just wanted to add that the best way to figure out what rates to set for your time and services is to browse other escorts' websites and profiles on listings sites such as Adultwork, Punternet and Punterlink (you can google any of those names for the site addresses). You'll see an awful lot of crazy things (especially on Adultwork!) so make sure you look at a lot of profiles/sites so that you can get the fairest and clearest picture of what might be 'average' rates in your area and what are the most common services.

Note on common services: This absolutely does not indicate what services you should do - only YOU decide what they will be! Never offer anything you aren't happy with. But I still think it can be very useful to know what all the 'other girls' are doing as you're bound to one day receive a whiny request from a punter to offer him extra services because some other girl did it for him (allegedly). The best weapon against fear and intimidation is a broad and thorough education! And luckily you can find out everything for yourself easily online so none of us have to rely on clients to tell us what to do, despite what one or two of the pushier ones might think.

Also, there's always SAAFE - I'm glad you found us and hope you'll stick around to ask any more questions you might have or to share stuff you've learned or just to tell us funny stories. You can easily search the forum using this form; we frequently discuss the more common topics such as touring, incall locations, hotels, toys, supplies, sexual health, services etc etc so you can usually find a wealth of information.

Anything else - just ask!
