Escorting Among Other Things
« on: 25 November 2018, 10:23:30 pm »
Hello everyone.

I am curious what thoughts you may have that come with being a prostitute such as dealing with being one in your daily life. Do you ever feel guilty about what your doing or what your plan may be after?

Lately, I've been feeling really guilty about it but I'm not exactly sure why. When it comes to being in the general public and socializing I feel defensive. In my eyes, I view this as "what do you people want from me" but I know that's not the right way to live. I feel like I always need to be ready to lie or defend myself and today I feel tired of it.

I am currently going to school and I do want to finish a degree within the next few years. I'm hoping to start another career early next year and do both until I make enough in my non-escorting career. The career will be dealing with the public but lately I'm afraid like am I going to feel closed off and not succeed, how exhausting is it going to have to be to have to lie everyday, is my goal even possible to do anymore I feel like lately I want to start over. I've tried to search of threads with ladies successfully leaving escorting but to be honest there doesn't seem to be much. I am overwhelmed with what the future may lie ahead and sometimes I just want to feel normal. Anybody else feel like this, what are your thoughts?

Well, lots of the people who've left happily don't post about it here because part of their 'exiting strategy' is dropping their work email, phone and browsing habits.

I've had a bit of conflict in both personal and work (I retrained) life.............which has had the result of probably pushing back into the sex work side.

I feel I've maybe been lucky, but I started escorting after being made redundant in mid-2014. I gave myself a few months off civvy work, but planned to go freelance, and started whoring a few days after leaving the office. For about five months I escorted full-time (which was handy to capitalise on the 'newbie' effect), then from early 2015 I started combining setting up my freelance business with part-time escorting (3-5 bookings per week).

This year, I relocated, so lost a lot of time house-hunting, packing, unpacking etc., and I've also been inundated with civvy work, and recently hit a minor health issue, so have done very little escorting, but that's one of the things I love about it - it's so flexible. If I have the time, I can do bookings, if not, I don't. I do feel it financially if I'm not doing bookings, but can manage so long as my civvy work is ticking over OK.

Also, I've never really had any psychological issues from escorting. A few friends know, so I can discuss it with them, there's SAAFE etc. for online support, and that's enough for me.

I think you'll find once you start a civvy job, you won't need to lie so much and it might all be easier to deal with.

Sounds like you are being a bit too intense and "valuating" yourself in society. If you think too much about this, maybe it is time for you to take a new path.
Each to their own. Maybe it is not for you?

I am ok with what I do and just get on with it. I'm happy. Guys are happy!

Hello Jelli i completely understand what you mean.
I’ve only recently started doing this but i don’t feel guilty at all. However I am quite anxious about the future as well and getting out so primarily i want to save some money up for a business idea i have.

I’m usually at a loss for words when people ask me what i do but my family thinks I’m fundamentally lazy and do nothing all day so no one says anything when my answer is, “Absolutely nothing i just read, sleep and play video games.” Are there any friends or people who know what you do and would be good to talk to?

It’s great you are doing a degree so that’s good for the future. Your goal is completely possible and i agree with Kay it will probably get easier once you start your civvy job.
